Horror cinema of the Cinema of the United Kingdom, United Kingdom is viewed by some authors (e.g. Olney) as occupying a space between that of America and continental Europe, but the UK was involved in and produced many films regarded as Euro horror and is thus included in other analyses. European horror films draw from distinctly European cultural sources, including surrealism, romanticism, Decadent movement, decadent tradition, early 20th century Pulp magazine, pulp-literature, film serials, and erotic comics.

A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films. ...
