Okay, I think I've stopped giggling at the antics of the sometimes noisy and always lusty marmot, Wildsweetone!
Here is the tagline for "Erotic Horror": Bizarre, shocking, scary, and sometimes sexy
And here is the disclaimer:
EROTIC HORROR DISCLAIMER:
The stories in Literotica's Erotic Horror category are meant to contain many of the same elements that horror movies contain. That means they may not be suitable for all tastes. Classic horror movies by legendary directors like Argento, Fulci, Romero, D'Amato, Hooper, Lenzi, etc., contain sometimes shocking scenes of cannibalism, violence, gore, zombies, death, and horror. Stories in this category might have some or all of those elements. If you are easily offended by horror movies, you may want to avoid this category altogether. If you are a fan of horror movies, by all means, read on.
Stories in this category contain scenes similar to those in horror movies.
I don't know if this answers your question. I think murder can be somewhat subjective in horror. I find it much more terrifying if the murder is simply alluded to, with the details left to the imagination. I think a hallmark in almost all horror stories is that some one dies, but then that might just be what I've been reading.
