Peter Cushing on calling the work he does Fantasy

Horror isn't a term you like is it?
It isn't that I object to it, I just feel it is the wrong adjective as applied to the films I do , cause horror to me is say a film like the godfather or anything to do with war which is real and can happen and unfortunately no doubt will happen again sometime but the films that dear Christopher lee and I do are really fantasy  and I think fantasy is a better better adjective. I don't object to the term horror , just the wrong adjective.
