Codes and Conventions of Horror




The codes and conventions that are common in horror trailers are :
·         Mysterious unfamiliar locations i.e. the locations tend to look abandoned
·         Music that sets a creepy tempo
·         Normally features a Victim, Detective and Killer
·         Props used by the Killer such as Chainsaws, baseball bats, and knives
·          Guts and Gore 
·         Starts as a happy scene and gets progressively worse / scarier.
