Psychological Horror, Opinions?

So I’m a super big fan of psychological horror, I just wanted to know what other ppl thought about it.

I really like the usual typical formula you’d see in psychological horror. Foreshadowing is my FAV!!

And most of the projects on psychological horror I’ve seen have VERY artistic aspects! So fun!

Psychological thrillers are the superior horror subgenre imo not just for the classic examples of foreshadowing but because horror and terror are so vastly different and being horrified dies fast but terror??? He sits and rots in your skin, waiting for you to get sick of him.

Also, as a horror and tragedy writer, I think psychological thriller appeals to me more as it forces you to make your characters alive, because a static character in writing is not meant for the agony of terror.
