And nothing should ever look like this page's example image. Bodies should be roughly symmetrical and have logical proportions. Organs and bones belong on the inside, and parasites and circuit boards do not. The mind knows on a deep instinctive level that faces should have eyes and hands should not. This trope is difficult to pin down, as it has a wide range of potential applications and invocations, but what they all hinge upon is the Primal Fear of deformity, parasites, contamination, the ravages of disease, and the aftermath of bodily injury.
CREATURE CREATOR GAMES LIKE SPORE FULL
Having your chest tear open of its own free will, exposing your organs as your ribcage is repurposed as a gaping maw full of bony teeth? That is Body Horror. Turning into a monster is a Forced Transformation, but still not a body horror. Simply put, this is any form of Horror or squickiness involving body parts, parasitism, disfigurement, mutation, or unsettling bodily configuration, not induced by immediate violence.įor example: Being shot in the chest and having your organs exposed is Bloody Horror, not body horror.
Welcome to the lovely land of Body Horror.
