Gothic fiction, which is largely known by the subgenre of Gothic horror, is a genre or mode of literature and film that combines fiction and horror, death, and at times romance.
 Its origin is attributed to English author Horace Walpole, with his 1764 novel "The Castle of Otranto", subtitled (in its second edition) "A Gothic Story".
 The effect of Gothic fiction feeds on a pleasing sort of terror, an extension of Romantic literary pleasures that were relatively new at the time of Walpole's novel.
 It originated in England in the second half of the 18th century where, following Walpole, it was further developed by Clara Reeve, Ann Radcliffe, William Thomas Beckford and Matthew Lewis.
 The genre had much success in the 19th century, as witnessed by Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
 Another well known novel in this genre, dating from the late Victorian era, is Bram Stoker's "Dracula".
 The name "Gothic" refers to the (pseudo)-medieval buildings, emulating Gothic architecture, in which many of these stories take place.
 This extreme form of romanticism was very popular in England and Germany.
 The English Gothic novel also led to new novel types such as the German "Schauerroman" and the French "Georgia".
The Innocents is a 1961 British supernatural gothic horror film directed and produced in CinemaScope by Jack Clayton, and starring Deborah Kerr, Michael Redgrave and Megs Jenkins.

 The title of the film was taken from William Archibald's stage adaptation of James' novella.
 Falling within the subgenre of psychological horror, the film achieves its effects through lighting, music and direction rather than conventional shocks.
 Its atmosphere was created by cinematographer Freddie Francis, who employed deep focus in many scenes, as well as bold, minimal lighting.
