Horror genre research: Iconography of horror movies

 
I took to researching typical iconography of horror movies. I then made a collage included below via the app 'InstaCollage', of images which represented the various types of iconography. They include images of things such as abandoned areas, and typical villainous murder weapons which are usually found in horror movies. Also there are images of victims of horror movies, as well as supernatural beings and a masked villain. An example of a horror movie that uses a masked villain is 'Scream'. the mask used on the villain in 'Scream' resembles a ghost, and is very recognisable today. By doing this activity it has enables me to familiarise myself with stereotypical trademarks of horror movies, which will help me in deciding in what kind of iconography to use in my own horror title sequence.
