On the left, the cover of the book "Broadening the Horror Genre: From Gaming to Paratexts," a generic abstract design of bright orange and thin white swirls.

On the right, a promotional image for the made-for-IMAX movie HAUNTED CASTLE (2001), showing a photograph of a spooky stone castle overlaid by a bright blue ghostly image of something monstrous but indistinct.
