Splatterpunk is a movement within horror fiction originating in the 1980s, distinguished by its graphic, often gory, depiction of violence, countercultural alignment[1] and "hyperintensive horror with no limits."[2][3][4] The term was coined in 1986 by David J. Schow at the Twelfth World Fantasy Convention in Providence, Rhode Island. Splatterpunk is regarded as a revolt against the "traditional, meekly suggestive horror story".[5] Splatterpunk has been defined as a "literary genre characterised by graphically described scenes of an extremely gory nature."[6]
