What is the definition of Series Fear?

"Series fear" is a term we throw around when we're talking about the collective anxiety or dread we get from watching too many horror movies, binge-watching a series of supernatural thriller shows, or even just the inexplicable feeling that something terrible is lurking just beyond our next episode. It's like when you think, "Another jump scare! Another creepy atmosphere! But what if it's not just me? What if this series has a mind of its own and decides to scare the living daylights out of us?"

Here's an edgy example sentence: "As I binge-watched the series 'The Haunting of Hill House', I couldn't help but feel my series fear spike to an all-time high, until the final scene where the ghost of a disgruntled former janitor sneezes and knocks over the entire library, turning my fear into a full-blown existential crisis."
