Analysis of Horror conventions
(Work in progress)
Our interpretation of what to expect when we watch a horror film has very much been defined by the conventions that are present in a vast majority of both horror books and horror films. From the very first examples we have, horror texts have conformed to these conventions, which has thus lead to those conventions being seen as cliché and should often be avoided as they will decrease the potential engagement with the audience as they will have “seen it all before".
