Flashes of Terror / Dredges of Horror
Another great post over at Naught Thought on the relationship between Terror and Horror, as well as some more interesting stuff on correlationism.
Put most directly: terror is not knowing, horror is knowing too much. However, there is a level of cross over. The horror, in the realm of terror, is the discovery of the body, it is the knowing too much which leads back to not knowing (in relation to the self) hence ‘am I next?’ The terror of horror, is the sight of the thing which cannot be definately described.
Maybe one could say that Terror is Kantian, while Horror is Hegelian.
