thatsbelievable:papa-nihil:Peter Cushing Interview (1973) ½On point. I’m reminded of Boris Karloff’s dislike of the term for his movies:“‘It’s a dreadful word, the wrong word,’ he commented in a 1959 radio interview. ‘Horror’ connotes loathing and revulsion, he said. He preferred the terms ‘terror’ and ‘thriller’ to describe the genre that he had helped to define.”Source: Boris Karloff: A Critical Account of His Screen, Stage, Radio, Television, and Recording Work by Scott Allen Nollen (McFarland & Company, 1991) -- source link
