Sexuality is one of the crucial elements that has helped shape horror over time. Be it seductive vampire bites still frequently seen in the media today, or cannibalism as a form of all-consuming love, horror films often hold the potential to be some of the most sexually charged genres in film. Classics like Psychoand Draculapaved the way for the sub-genre, breaking ground in an era where the utilization of sex in movies, particularly when involving women, was repressed.
