Horror Movies

Horror movies have come a long way since their beginning. They are all very unique and can be very interesting and scary or they can be so phony that people are disgusted . There are several things that I have noticed about scary movies that seem to be what makes them a scary movies. One of the biggest conventions of Horror movies is the use of darkness. Darkness is a symbol of uncertainty, evil, barrenness. Most of the time one will see that the There are all some of the things that the characters in horror movies experience or see while the movie is going on. It also acts as a type of blindness so that the main characters do not know what to expect on their quest to remove themselves from the precarious situation. Most times the evil character has black eyes symbolizing their lack of a soul and most times their evil deeds are done at night . The music that is used in scary movies also acts to further the suspense in the movie. There will be scenes in a movie where there is total silence and the main characters can only hear their own movements and nothing else. There are also times where there is music playing such as a sick violin, or a daring devilish cello and then the villan jumps out and the music erupts while the victim is taken away or killed. All in all , I personally hate scary movies because of these conventions and the many others used to make one feel that “fight or flight” emotion. I’ts just not necessary.
