Research - Horror films

What makes a horror character frightening?
A horror character needs to have a mysterious feel about it. The characters body language and facial expressions show what kind of character this is. Also if the character is hidden e.g. masks, sillouettes, blurred out.

How effective are the antagonists in horror films?
The antagonists are the main focus on the horror part of the film, for example in the start/middle of the films if the antagonists face is not given away it builds suspence.

Why are costumes so important?
- Show what type if personality the character has.
- Show where they are living (rough, scruffy, worn and torn) shows the character is not from a posh place.
- "Brand" the horror characters signature costume, e.g. (Saw "Jigsaw") wears the same thing every time so people recognise him.
