Horror and adventure don’t initially sound like they’d be the best combination of movie genres on paper, but in practice, the horror adventure subgenre has resulted in some legendary films. The best adventure movies are full of excitement, danger, and peril, characterized by uncharted journeys into hostile environments with memorable characters and ominous dangers. Horror adventure movies take the idea one step further by removing the four-quadrant appeal of the genre, making the obstacles faced by the capable protagonists all the more visceral and terrifying.
