Conventions are things that the audience expects to find in a movie. Conventions of a horror movie are:
- villains (killer) [Freddy VS Jason VS Michael VS Chucky VS Leatherface VS Hannibal]
- the feeling of being hunted down like prey
- a spooky setting, such as a haunted or abandoned house
- blood/ gore/ intestines [gore compilation]
- using the light to convey feelings
- evil/ demons/ dark magic/ aliens
- creepy music that jumps from a slow pace to a faster one
- turning something innocent into something evil
- the characters being family based
- epidemics
- anticipation
- driving good people into insanity/ giving them difficult moral decisions
- threat of going to hell
- good special effects
- something evil being passed down or tied to you
- the main characters losing all the good they had in their lives
- exorcisms [exorcism]
- torture equipment
- the past coming back to haunt characters
- screaming [SCREAMING]
- dumb blond chick
- stupid split second decisions that make the audience anticipate something bad
