3. What creative features are used in
Horror trailers?
 Evil Forces and Their Victims
 Horror movie characters can include just about any type of person, animal
or creature, or sometimes, even objects like dolls and trees, whether they
are based on reality or are fictional in nature. Yet, there are some very
popular evil forces that typically appear in many horror flicks. These
include vampires , werewolves, ghosts, demonic spirits, savage beasts,
zombies, serial killers, and psychotic beings. Meanwhile, their victims are
often physically or emotionally weak characters who tend to succumb to
these dark forces or win over them.
 Dark and Eerie Atmosphere
 Mounting scenes that initiate fearful thoughts makes it possible for viewers
to see through foreboding elements and apprehensions seen on screen.
Some popular elements that incite a dark and eerie atmosphere in a horror
movie include a close-up of a scared main character slowly walking
towards a creepy door, the blackness of the night, the shocking look of a
dismembered doll or human body, or a number of weirdly broken items
seen around a creepy room.

4. Cont.
 Graphic Scenes
 Graphic scenes rely on the use of horrifying shots or special effects, which
can be mechanical effects that are shot live during filming or optical effects
that are later added to the footage using computer-generated imagery
(CGI). Explicit gore and jump scenes coming from the irrational or the
unknown provide shock factors that can make moviegoers jump on their
seats or cover their eyes because of the horrific intensity of shots shown
on screen. However, horror movies don't necessarily show detailed
explicitness all the time. Movies with R ratings usually have longer graphic
scenes shown. Some of these commonly used scenes include slitting
throats, mutilated or tortured bodies, and exorcism scenes.
 Creepy Sound Elements
 A horror movie's creepy sound elements maintain certain types of shocking
factors to them. Some prominent ones include a sudden loud bang, an
unlikely falling object, a darting animal, the chopping of body parts, or the
suspense-filled opening of a squeaky door. Interestingly, even dead silence
properly set in between disturbing sound elements can also contribute to a
movie's tense-filled moments. Musical score and sound effects also help
establish frightful and sinister scenes.
