Under the dark horror hat fall all those subjects that have their origin in the visual imagery related to devilish creatures, the antithesis of those angelic or childlike creatures full of beauty and grace.
In western horror, they are demons, they are zombies, they are half-animal and half-human beings, skulls and other subjects often linked to the heavy metal genre and to the icons of the desecrating and blasphemous reinterpretations of the Christian religion.
Black and grey is the style that gives life to these creatures, as well as in the Asian interpretation, where we see the dark expressed with ghosts, demonic spirits, masks with diabolical powers.
While in the Chicano fine line the dark is combined with the jocker, the female devil provoker and street images in which sinister events occur and evil forces intervene.
