Common sounds are obviously the eerie music, whispering, and outside sounds to make the main character feel like
they may be going crazy.
Common CLAMPS:
Costumes - the main characters outfit, usually ruined by the end of the movie, and whatever the antagonist likes to
wear, usually dark coloured.
Lighting: Light before the problem is introduced. It get's darker as the movie reaches climax, then get's light again as
the problem is solved.
The acting is usually one person is overpowering the other, to get an end result of terrifying or killing them.
The make up for a horror movie without a supernatural villain will usually include the main character having no
makeup,
or it being completely ruined throughout the movie.
The props can be a weapon for protection or damage, as well as a vehicle that everyone in the movie will ignore or
forget about.
The setting can be anywhere, as horror movies like to remind the viewers that your life can turn into a scary one at
any
time in any place.
Common edits may include flashbacks for the villains back story, voiceovers, cut scenes, split screen, and shot by
shot
scenes.
Examples include '#ALIVE", a zombie movie based in Korea, 'SCREAM' a movie about a serial killer, and
'Halloween', a movie also about a serial killer.
I like the element of suspense in a horror movie. There's always the scene or scenes that put the protagonist in
danger, and leave the viewers wondering what will happen next.
I don't like the element of surprise when it's late in the movie. I feel like the movie is wasted potential.
