One misunderstanding of Gothic novels is that they cannot distinguish the difference between horror and disgust. (Of course, their excellent Chinese cousins are not designed to scare people. Like the female ghosts and vixens in Liaozhai, some people almost look forward to such romantic encounters.). People often encounter ghosts and find that the ghost is scary and rotten at the same time. It seems to imply that they are ghosts in this way. It seems that only in this way can the unlucky guy recognize that he is a ghost and be frightened. I have watched "400 Years of the Vampire". After losing his wife, Count Dracula became angry with Christ and stabbed the statue of Christ with his sword. Blood immediately surged out, almost flooding the entire scene. Will the audience find it scary after watching it? I don't know how Westerners react, at least I just feel disgusted.
