Mascots are human, animal, or objects that bring luck or represent a group with a common public identity. They can also be used as fictional spokespeople for consumer products, such as sports teams or brand names. Mascot Horror is a subgenre of horror media popularized by indie horror games in the mid-2010s, focusing on toy-like characters that can be easily turned into merchandise.
Mascots can be found in any music genre, but most are used by rock and roll, punk, indie, and heavy metal bands. Band logos tend to lean towards the dark side and the creepy. Mascot horror has become synonymous with low-budget, small-team indie horror games, first popularized by the eponymous Five Nights at Freddy’s.
Another subgenre of horror media is poetry, with genres such as realistic fiction, disability fiction, contemporary young adult, and disability fiction. Authors Charles Waters and Traci Sorell have published an extensive list of fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, and children’s books, with virtually every sub-genre represented.

Mascot horror games have become a popular genre in recent years, with authors like Antony John aiming to inspire readers and start conversations in classrooms and communities across the country.
