Elements of a Horror Film

- Sound is vital for the emotion of a horror film to portray 
- Minimal instruments for the buildup of the scare
- Quiet Pauses
- Expressive characters along with good acting/facial expressions
- Believability of almost all human emotion happy, terrified, surprised, sad
- A need for an explanation of the character whom to fear either before or after introduced
- Movies need to answer "Why should the audience be scared of this character?"
- The despription for the motive of the character (weapons, physique, phrases) that the audience can describe the character in few adjectives
- The character also needs to be unpredictable in dramatic events to makes him or herself interesting
