Teen slasher films typically involve a homicidal maniac who uses weapons like knives to kill teenagers in isolated locations where they cannot get help. These locations include abandoned large buildings, forests, fields and parks that provide space to hide bodies and prevent calls for assistance. The document discusses teen slasher film tropes like the killer and their weapons, then proposes specific filming locations in London that would suit the genre due to their isolated, dark and ominous qualities.

3.  The sub-genre ‘teen – slasher’ means a horror movie usually with one central homicidal maniac who
usually uses cutlery to systematically slaughter his victims. Example of these characters are ‘Freddy
Kruger’, ‘Jason Voorhees’, and ‘Chucky’. It also involves teenagers that are typically the victims in these
types of films.
 Other terms related to the word ‘slasher’ are:
 Horror
 fan fiction
 Gore
 Psycho
 Chainsaw
 Slinging
 knives and many more.
 The locations that we have chosen are the types that would be seen in teen – slasher films. These would
consist of big deserted buildings that are either run down, or just not used anymore. The reason for this is
because the antagonist would want the actions to take place somewhere where no one could find out
what happened or trace him.
 LSU (La Sainte Union) is a all girls secondary school that has a very eerie feel to it, because of the
ancient polls which look like the buildings from the Roman times. Slasher films also base their settings in
secluded areas such as fields, woods, forests and similar places, because in these types of areas there
would be no phone connections and therefore the victims would not be able to call any one for help. Also,
since a field would have masses of space, the victims bodies can be hidden easily and it would be really
hard to find because of the size of the area.
 We chose to base some of our night scenes in Hampstead Heath which is a really big park that has
woods, lakes and many other things situated inside. The reason behind our choice was because
Hampstead Heath has no lights in it, so at night time it would get very dark and no one would want to be
in there because of the crazy people that could attack and no one would be able to find you. So we
believe this would be the perfect place to film some shots.
