Research Into Real Media Texts:

To understand the genre of horror and how it developed over the years, i carried out research by watching a range of horror movies/extracts such as:

• Nosferatu (1922)
• The Faculty (1998
• Shaun Of The Dead (2004)
•  Bramstoker's Dracula (1992) 
• Psycho (1960)
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
• Halloween (1978)
• Carrie (1976)
• Scream (1996)

By studing these films in depth i have an understanding of how horror has changed over the years and that there are many sub genres of horror. 


Sub Genres:

• Vampires
• Slashers
• Parody
• Teen
• Hammer
• Hybrid
