Macabre
I have always been familiar with this word since my mom was always using it in Spanish in reference to extremely fearful things. So when I encountered it in English, I understood it immediately. There is a 1950's film called Macabre.
Macabre is a 1958 American horror film directed by William Castle, written by Robb White, and starring William Prince and Jim Backus. The film falls into both the horror and suspense genres.
It involved one of Castle's first forays into using the promotional gimmicks that later made him famous. A certificate for a $1,000 life insurance policy from Lloyd's of London was given to each customer in case they should die of fright during the film.
