Etymology:
Meaning: A spinechiller is something that sends shivers down your spine or causes a feeling of horror or dread.
Origin: The term "spinechiller" is believed to have originated in the late 19th century, around the same time as the popularity of horror and Gothic literature began to rise. The term itself is a combination of the words "spine" (referring to the human spine, which is often associated with feelings of fear and anxiety) and "chiller" (referring to something that causes a chill or sense of coldness).
