Horror Conventions





Nightmare on Elm Street- http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=yGJli5ToZ4Y



Masked Characters- These are very predictable but however they are still very efficient at creating fear.

Dreams- The use of dreams to create horror is used well in a lot of horrors. The feeling of relaxation when sleeping is being invaded by horror to create fear for the audience.

Low Key Lighting- Nightime is used to create the unknown and therefore build tension.

Young Characters- By using young teens they can exploit the vulnerability of the characters, and allow the audience to worry for them.

Prolonged Silences- The use of silences suggests that something is wrong, therefore the action is more thrilling when it takes place.

Loud Screams- These may be exagerrated in most films but they still cause suspense and a sense of realism.
