Talk:The Fear of the Irrational/@comment-28939893-20160722060221/@comment-5420059-20160722112341

I can't really remember the exact explanation Aidan gave concerning the differences, but from what I can gather the Fear of the Irrational revolves around "traditional" psychological horror with a dash of slasher movie tropes, while the Fear of the Surreal focuses on the brand of severely screwed up surrealism you typically see in the works of David Lynch and Alan Resnick. Like many other Fears, there's tons of overlap between these two, but I think with enough people contributing they can eventually become more distinct from one another.
