The document discusses natural and abandoned settings that are suitable for horror films. Forests, abandoned locations like bunkers and hospitals, cemeteries, carnivals, and deserts are all mentioned as atmospherically conducive to horror due to being dark, isolated, or subverting expectations of safety. The settings provide ready-made feelings of darkness, isolation, and danger that can heighten the scares in horror movies.

2. THE FOREST IS A SETTING THAT
IS A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
FOR HORROR. SCARY STORIES
ARE USUALLY TOLD AROUND A
CAMPFIRE AND PROIDING A
READY-MADE ATMOSPHERE OF
DARKENESS AND SHADOW
AWAY FROM CIVILIZATION, THIS
MAKES IT A VERY SUITABLE
PLACE FOR A SHOT TO BE
TAKEN.

3. USUALLY ANYTHING THAT IS SEEN AS ABANDONED
HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE A GOOD SETTING FOR A
HORROR MOVIE. THESE CAN INCLUDE :
 ABANDONED BUNKERS
 ABANDONED SCHOOLS
 ABANDONED SHIPS
 PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
 THE OLD SCHOOL HAUNTED SCHOOL
THE CEMETRY/GRAVEYARD IS SEEN AS NO BIG
SUPRISE TO BEING A LOCATION FOR EXCESS OF
HORROR SCENES.

4. CARNIVALS AND FAIRS ALSO HAVE A HORROR
POTENTIAL. CLOWNS, MIMES, THE DARKENESS,
AND WEIRD FLASHING LIGHTS LEND A PREFECTLY
GOOD HAND TO MAYHEM AND GHASTLY SETTING.
TO SET A HORROR FILM IN A TYPICAL PLACE OF
FUN AND EXCITEMENT , YOUR SORT OF LULLING
THE AUDIENCE INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY
BECAUSE EXPECTATIONS ARE FLIPPED AND WHAT
MAY SEEM LIKE UNEXPECTED WOULD SUDDENLY
TURN INTO SOMETHING BRUTAL, VICIOUS
KILLING.

5. EXAMPLES OF A FILM SET IN THE CARNIVAL OF
FAIR ARE:

6. THE DESERT IS HOT, HUMID AND BARREN. IT IS
UNSUSTAINABLE TO BE LIVING IN THE DESERT
AND THIS SHOULS IMMEDIATELY RAISE FLAGS
AND SO PUT A HORROR STORY INTO A DESET
SETTING WOULD BE A GENIUS IDEA TO DO. LIKE
THE OCEAN OR OUTER SPACE SCENARIOS, MOST
OF THE DESERT TERROR COMES FROM THE
ISOLATION AND THE INABILITY TO ESCAPE TO SAFE
GROUND.
