Twins in horror films

1. TWINS IN HORROR

2. BACKGROUND/ MY
HORROR TRAILER
 In my horror film the two main characters- protagonist and antagonist are going to be
twins.
 Twins are often used in horror to create a creepy feel.
 As a twin myself I found it interesting to research the psychology of twins in horror;
there is said to be such a strong bond between twins that they can feel each other’s
pains/emotions.
 This is effective for my film as ‘Lauren’ knows something is wrong with her twin brother
when no one else does.
 Here are some inspirations…

said to have been the start of

soul’
