Horror Trailer Research

Horror films are a type film genre that scares the audience out of their seats. Horror films can be all sorts of different types of horror genres like paranormal, psychological, and slasher, but also some horrors can be comedies as well to make people scared and laugh at the same time. 

The Psychological horror film is surreal horror that tells a story to the audience of what has happened or can happen in real life. It shows a scary event or person in normal day to day situations.  So it is unexpected and so psychological horror can be a very good way to scare the audience.  Examples of the psychological horror films are Psycho and The Shining.

Paranormal is another type of horror genre that is about ghost, spirits and demons. It’s not a real or normal situation.  Something that is used in paranormal horror films is objects moving for no reason or people floating or being possessed.  It uses jump scares to frighten the audience, because it is unexpected to them. Paranormal Activity and The Conjuring are types of paranormal horror films.

Comedy horror is a type of horror genre that scares you and make you laugh when you watch the film. Also horror comedy is made to make fun of other horror films, like the Scary Movie films and A Haunted House films.  The haunted House films pokes fun at paranormal films like The Conjuring, whereas Scary Movie films make fun of all sorts of horror films like Scream and The Signs.

These are the trailers I look at for my research.
