Horror brings a sense of seriousness to the story. Kinda forces the story to have stakes. I know people here really like Paul Dini's Zatanna but he was really harming Zee with his run. Making her do all sort of high level magic like casually stopping time, time travel, turning people to gold etc. She can do so because she said it backwards is stupid.
If you wanna make people interested please have a cost to such things.
Tynion on the other hand did great by attaching her magic to the upside down world. Gave the explanation that she speaks backwards to hide from the otherkind. Showed that she actually trained to wield such power and not just learned to speak backwards. I know that even his writing isn't perfect but he atleast tried to set some rules, cost, consequences etc.
