Normally a horror film is a genre that aims to create a sense of fear and panic for the audience. These films often rely on scaring the audience through a portrayal of their worst fears and nightmares. Horror films usually take the essence of a monster or beast (also the living dead). In general a big percentage of a horror film focuses on the chase, of the victim or victims, depends on the sub genre. Teen horrors and slasher’s most frequently features a group of teenagers/adults being killed one by one, as seen in the scream films.
Like with scream, another element of horror films is the iconography. People who may not even have seen the scream movies but will be familiar with the infamous mask used in all four films. This the case for the freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees films.
