Curse is nice as well, as it helps build up afflictions. Long term though.

Horror marks can effectively eliminate a pretender from the game, permanently. Much better than just killing them in the long run.

On several occasions I have had pretenders severely horror marked. It is then only a matter of time (if severely horror marked it doesn't take long) before a doom horror shows up and kills said pretender. While this is bad (if you are the one loosing their pretender), the worst part is that when you call back your pretender it is still marked. When severely marked the pretender is often targeted by a horror on the very round that it returns, and since it has no equipment, or specialized scripting, it is often killed right then and there (getting more severely horror marked in the process). This story repeats itself each time the pretender is re-summoned. Eventually, the pretender is diminished to such an extent that it is not worth the effort to re-summon.

Bye-bye pretender.

Which, I think, is thematically awesome.
