his characters as a step ahead of a killer
by using old horror films as a guide on
how to survive in a real life nightmare.

and how we believe that the world „is one big
movie‟ suggesting that we could make ourselves
the victims if we are not informed enough on
how to survive a horror film.
„movies don‟t create pyschos , they make pyschos
more creative „

horror films, perhaps.”

through the emotions the characters are‟

cinema.
This can be seen in one of his most
famous works „Pyscho‟ , where we see
through the eyes of the killer rather then
the victim.

have when they wake up from a nightmare.”

had him walk like a man, not a
monster.”
John Carpenter
“What scares me is what scares you. We're all
afraid of the same things. That's why horror is
such a powerful genre. All you have to do is ask
yourself what frightens you and you'll know
what frightens me.”
John Carpenter
