Wednesday morning and a beautiful sunny day ahead of us. I was going to do this yesterday but got diverted so will start again.
The three scary elements in a horror movie: Suspense, first of all. Suspense is agonizing to me and I react very strongly to it. Music or sounds also contribute greatly to the suspense. Since I don't watch or go to many gory horror movies, I can't say about that aspect. Some of the present horror movies like the Saw series seem to be more about how much torture, blood and gore can be spilled. The idea of Elm Street series was so scary to me I didn't watch them. But the Audition was terrifying and very suspenseful and full of mystery. Psycho was so scary, the suspense, the terrifying image in our heads of some wild, murderous maniacal insane old woman was overwhelming but there was mystery too.
