2. Key Features of the supernatural
thrillers
• A supernatural thriller is just a thriller with
supernatural/paranormal elements.
Supernatural means those things that have no
logical/natural explanation. Vampires, ghosts,
shape shifters, demons, paranormal
phenomena, all qualify. Aliens and
superheroes belong to the speculative fiction
genre (better known as sci-fi) more often than
not. They often cross over, though.
