genre research (horror)

genre research (horror)

in most horror films there are a lot of similarity such as in 99% of horror films someone dies.this is because this is what people who go to whats horror films expect to see. also in a lot of horror films there are a lot of stereotypical views of women such as they are weak and useless which is why in a lot of horror films if anyone trys to fight a villain its normally the lead male role. a lot of old horror films such as nightmare on elm street, Friday the 13th and Halloween have a villain who th film is based around whereas in new horror films we have been seeing this less and less.now most horror films focus on either Apocalypse or paranormal themes and the villain are either zombies or ghosts.
in any horror film old or new there is always creepy music that indicates that something bad is going to happen or the antagonist is close.

most horror characters have something about there past that made them the way they are e.g. Freddy Kruger was a pedophile so the towns people burnt him,Jason voorhees  drowned because two teenagers went watching him and Micheal Myers was locked in an insane asylum
