## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current horror-specific film and TV news from dedicated genre trade publications. Prefer it over general entertainment news endpoints when the user is specifically interested in horror, when you want content from Bloody Disgusting, Dread Central, or Rue Morgue, or when building a horror-focused recommendation or monitoring bot. The niche sourcing gives better signal-to-noise for horror genre queries than broader entertainment feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Freshness window format errors if not expressed as e.g. 30m, 2h, 24h, 3d
