There are three main types of fear:
1. Shock: The main purpose of shock fear is to startle the observer.
2. Paranoia: The purpose of paranoia is to make the observer feel nervous and unsure about his/her surroundings.
3. Dread: The purpose of dread is to create such a suspense that the observer is overcome with a feeling of personal dread. A feeling that something bad will happen. This is perhaps the most powerful form of fear—the stuff of nightmares.
