horror mood board

In this collage i used clips from films representing the horror genre. I used a screen grab from the strangers which is a stereotype of a horror; where the person appears behind the victim while they are on the phone, this helps to create tension with the viewers, I also used the DVD cover for it to show that the identity of the criminals is hidden which plays in with the title of the strangers. I also picked out some well known horror characters, this includes Freddy Kruger; who murdered children in there sleep in night mare on elm street, pin head; from the famous horror film; Hellraiser, and the bat/creature from Jeepers Creepers. In the bottom corner i used the clown 'IT' this is successful because of a phobia some people have of clowns, this helps create more of a fright throughout the film. I also used Michael Myres from Halloween and the clown from saw, who are both well known for the films they star in. The typical blood stained carpet and hand prints in the bathroom represent an idea of a horror film and i included ideas of other horror films such as hostel, decent, Candyman and 666 to help inspire me on my ideas for my horror story board.
