Horror is a story of innovation and non-conformity in cinema, where dangerous ideas such as brutal killings can be expressed and radical techniques can be explored, making companies even outside the mainstream generate a mass of income. A twisted genre, bent on entertainment, producing some of the most highest grossing films.
Stephen Kings It (1990) (Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown)
Director- Tommy Lee Wallace
This movie, told in flashbacks, focuses upon an inter-dimentional predotary life form, having the ability to transform itself into its preys worst fears, this allows it to explore the phobias of victims. Taking a form of a clown called Penniwise, soon found out by a group of children vowing to destroy him as he terrorised them in youth, the protaganists, which take place over two periods in time, first discovering him as
children then defeating him as adults, as he resurfaces. Once they realise hes not a human being, yet a different immortal life form they name him 'IT.'
Halloween II (1981) Director- Rick Rosenthal
The second instalment to the Halloween series, focusing particularly on killings by the mental Michael Myers in the famous mask. The killings continue, as flashbacks are shown of Micheal as a youngster, with his mother. After being presumed dead, being missing since halloween, Micheal still alive, travels to kill who finds out to be his long lost sister. The police soon dicover his location and surround the shed, however unexpectadly Laurie ( his long lost sister ) walks out of the shed wearing Micheals killer mask, a major plot twist.
Friday the 13th (the final chapter) (1984)
Director- Marcus Nispel
The movie based on a group of camp friends, as the protagonist, and the brutal masked murderer, the antagonist. He stalks them, murdering them one by one. The movie is based in woodland, creating a gloomy atmosphere to reflect the genre. The character is a lean, quick killer, the backstory of his past allows us as an audience to feel sympathy for him in a way.
