The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies (MIHS) is an educational organization for the academic study of horror in cinema, literature and popular culture. Established in 2010 by Canadian writer and programmer Kier-La Janisse, the institute takes its name from the fictional Miskatonic University in H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, reflecting a focus on the study of the macabre, uncanny and terrifying.
