In our horror movie, myself and Morgan have established that there will be a killer, featured in the opening sequences. Killers play a pivotal role as the antagonist in most horror movies, providing a main source of horror for the audience. I am going to briefly analyse some famous killers in horror movies to see what features our killer should have.
1.Hannibal Lecter;Hannibal
A brilliant yet a sadistic madman. Unlike many psycho killers, he is a genuis. He lacks any sort of weapson such as a chainsaw or knife; a deadly stare or the tone of his voice is enough to shock both the characters and the audience.
2.The Jigsaw Killer;Saw
Another killer that relies more on chilling acting and tense atmosphers to invoke fear into an audience. He developed traps for his victims or 'subjects' to pass, based ironically on the qualities he thought they were missing.
3.Freddy Kruger;Nightmare On Elm Street
A sadistic killer that haunts the dreams of children and kills them from within. One of the most iconic killers in history, his burnt fleshed face and his infamous claw hands which he stalked his vicims terrified the 80's audience.
4.Michael Myers;Halloween
Michael Myers started the whole slasher craze, he set about killing off the neighborhood’s promiscuous teenage population. He spent his childhood locked away in a mental institution after stabbing his older sister to death, but no treatment could cure his urge to kill. Michael possesses a strong will, stealth, and most importantly, immortality — traits that would be emulated in many future horror movie killers.
