Horror Based Category
Horror is such a massive hyper specific genre that only really serves to its own viewer base - and the absolute chokehold indie horror has on the genre is significant - but there’s virtually no way of seeking this out on Twitch.
I would love to see the inclusion of a horror based category, not only for viewers to discovery indie horror games that are nearly impossible to search for, but also a home for anything spooky and horror specific.
This will also help curate horror into a section that those who are squeamish or triggered by horror can avoid.
The category can also expand beyond JUST horror gaming, and include horror podcasts/topic of discussions, full talk shows or any spooky related content like short films, spooky IRL streams and more.
A directory based on this specific genre would be incredibly helpful for not only creators, but viewers who have no way of accessing this wildly popular genre of entertainment!

this would make it so much easier to find new content creators and small streamers who's bread and butter is horror and small indie horror games. Also you have to like turn down the banning of content, horror games are meant to be gory. It should be enough to add the 18+ warning.

A horror category like this would make it SO much easier to find other individuals who enjoy the category, and provide a way for viewers to find new streamers while also providing a way to protect those who don't want to be exposed to those sorts of games! This would be an amazing addition

This should be a no brainer. Do it asap!

Love this idea! Perfect for indie horror games that don't have a game category, horror game/movie/show discussions, spooky cosplays/makeup, paranormal stuff, etc. It's also a great way for peeps who don't enjoy gore/scary stuff to be able to avoid the content. Please consider this, Twitch.

Absolutely crucial. I've wanted this forever, but more than that, it's necessary. Please let us horror fans have a category of our own to browse and find each other!

This would be so ****! As a horror variety streamer and working on a horror podcast, this would be an amazing way to showcase horror in a similar way to other categories. Horror is a hugeee genre and I think this will give it the spotlight it deserves.

A place for paranormal content to reside? Especially with the rise of its popularity on Twitch, I'm all for this!

I'm a fan of this idea! Adding additional ways to navigate is something that I'm generally always going to be in favor of.

More categories just means more options for viewers and creators alike. I love this idea and would love to see it happen!

Lots of great indie horror titles that are stuck in the “games + demos” category. A broader horror category could open the door to discovering amazing titles and meeting other Twitch viewers/creators that like the same genre.

As someone who loves spooky content this would make it so much easier to discover streamers playing/commenting on the category I most enjoy. Please add to Twitch!

now this is a category i can get behind. I play indie games and are often stuck using a generic "games and demos" makes it harder for people to know what you are playing.

I agree with the idea of making a horror genre. I disagree with the assertion that horror is hyper specific. Horror is a very wide genre with lots of subgenres.

Incredible idea! It would help a ton during the Fall season in trying to play some more indie horror games and just find those horror vibes all around!
