I’ve researched some fonts that are
conventional to the horror genre.
They have similar style but maybe
different connotations.
Font of ‘PARALYSIS’
                                            This font type is fairly simple with
                                             just a little texture within, which
                                             will not connote a gothic-like-
                                             theme film to audience (at least I
                                             don’t).
                                             The thickness and the letters
                                             especially the ‘A’ is like a child’s
                                             handwriting which connotes the
                                             main character of the horror film is
                                             a child
 This is the most ‘epic’ font type
  amongst the ones I’ve researched
  as I think its different style of each
  letter has an obvious and strong
  connotation of a horror film

 However some of the styles
  especially ‘P’ and ‘I’, they sort of
  connote goths or disgust e.g. SAW.
  Therefore it may not well suit the
  topic of supernatural.
 This font type is relatively simple
                                               comparing to the other fonts that I’ve
                                               chosen. The gradual fade at the end of
                                               each letter connotes the incapability to
                                               finish a proper writing, like being
                                               paralysed and unable to move.

                                              However, the incomplete endings also
                                               show scratches and physical harm, which
 Audience may easily associate this           may connote slasher or monsters instead
  font type with horror genre due to its       of supernatural
  irregularity and different sizes of
  letters with some of them flipped the
  other way round. Also the ECG-like
  line in the middle of the letters also
  connote the fast and irregular
  heartbeat, which means that the film
  is fast-paced and thrilling.

 However, again, they are also
  scartches-like, therfore audience might
  relate it with gothic horror rather than
  supernatural.
Soooo…
After analysing the 4 font types that I’ve chosen.




 These 2 fonts are able to connote a horror films in terms of a supernatural
  subgenre as firstly they are fairly simple. Secondly they fit into our main
   character which is either a boy or girl with their child-handwrite style.
