Different types of horror

After Discussing together, we have decided to create a horror/thriller film Trailer because we thought this was the most visually interesting of the genres and which would use our filming skills to the best advantage.
 
We have also researched the different types of horror film so we can be specific with what type of the genre we are going to produce. We have come up with this list by looking at multiple different horror film trialers of different types of story lines.

Different forms of horror are;

1. Supernatural- Supernatural Horror films usualy focus on the supernatural,usually ghosts or the occult. These usually revolve around the viewers worst fears or nightmares, terror of the unknown, things that usually wouldnt exist in normal everyday life. Films such as the omen, Paranormal Activity, The exorsist, The uninvited, The ring

2. Gothic Horror - This genre combines elements of both horror and romance such as Dracula, Frankenstein

3, Realistic Style Horror - These Focus on the horror of real life such as murders, rapists, torture , such as The lovely bones, The girl with the dragon tattoo

4. Physchological- This Relies on the use of fears, the confusion of the mind, beliefs, emotional instability. The horror does not often come from a ghost or monster, but as a human being with a horrific identity. Such as Shutter island, The shining, Saw.

5. Comedy- These usually focus on the comedy aspects of horror, films such as scary movie, zombieland, shaun of the dead, which are almost parodys of horror films.
6. Torture/ Gore / Horrific - These films are usually incredibly gory filled with creepy scenes and horrific scenes of torture which depicts murder and death in a graphic manner, films like saw, The hills have eyes, Hostel.
