Aroused by erotic horror?

[Arcanyx]

Hey everyone! I'm starting this thread to dive into erotic horror. Those highly sexualized tales that blend terror with explicit desire.
P.S No non-human sex here.
We're talking dark fantasies and steamy scares. I wish to understand what drives this genre and people who love it.
What's works best in an erotic horror setting? Share your favorites, is it forbidden lust, or haunted settings, or cults with sadistic seductions. I wish to understand and explore how these stories blend fear and arousal
Drop your ideas, thoughts, book recs, anything else you can think of...yes, music too! What got you hot and haunted?
(CNC, prey-predator play, knife kinks, or jump scares are not a sub-genre here. We are talking real spooky!!!)
