horrors
HAWR-urz/ˈhɔɹ.ɚz/UKHOR-uhz/ˈhɒɹ.əz/
- 1Plural of horror.
The documentary laid bare the horrors endured by people trapped in the famine.
Survivors rarely speak openly about the horrors they lived through.
Note
The plural belongs to the countable meanings, above all things that appall: in the horrors of war, many separate atrocities blur into one mass of suffering. It can also count individual works of fiction, such as a shelf of horrors, and, colloquially, badly behaved people, such as those little horrors. The genre itself stays singular. Horror as a category has no plural.
