Basic storyline; Group of girls hanging around an old railroad. They joke about a haunted
Rumor which turns out to be true. One by one the girls get taken by the ghosts and die.
3. Horror genre in depth conventions that I will use;
1. ‘The happy beginning’ – In a lot of horror trailers, there is an almost comical start to
Explain the basic storyline. For example in this trailers.

2. The music at the end – some trailers do this and I think it is very effective. For example
In this trailer.

3. The flashing with the music – this normally happens near to the end of the trailer, or
just before the sad music begins.
