Occult Horror & Mystery

Occult horror sells on curiosity and on the promise of a rule the audience can learn: viewers come back to watch a mechanic be obeyed, not to watch a monster jump out of a cupboard. As a motion comic it sits mid-cost, because fog, candlelight and darkness hide exactly the places a limited-animation pipeline is thin, and one figure standing on a still lane can hold a panel for five seconds without looking cheap. The money goes on atmosphere rather than action: every background needs a heavy ink pass and a decided light source, and there is no crowd plate to reuse when the whole genre is two people in a small room.
