Conventions of Horror Films

Link to real life/documentary style (to make it more realistic)
Settings-trapped in a dark isolated place, rail, cloud, wind, darkness, deserted

Camera and editing-dramatic, a range of short and long shots, hand held camera shots
Iconography- mise-en-scene (weather), blood, weapon, music
Music and sound-use of silence, heart beat, heavy breathing, instruments

A hybrid- is a mixture of two genres, such as Scary movie, I know what you did last summer, etc.
Voyeurism- the compulsion to seek sexual gratification by secretively looking at sexual objects or acts, the actions of a peeping tom.
