Wow i never really thought about it like that. I mean the only flick that ever scared me was Dawn Of The Dead which i watched quite recently. I know that its fantasy but these zombie freaks look like they will just jump out of the screen and get you.
Im maybe sounding a bit pathetic but after watching it a few times, i half expect to wake up and find the world is full of biting zombies and something is going to break into my house and eat me, lol.
But yeah, ive taken a few ideas that will freak people out and leave them with memories of the film. What ive learned from talking to people about this is that what they fear through their childhood generally stays with them into later life. So, i went and took the basics and wrote a few ideas down. The feedback that i got was normally "Oh my gosh! what would you do if that really happened?"
So you take something that we all think about, even you adults...i think lol e.g.
Something behind the shower curtain
something under the bed
things getting into the bed covers with you
seeing your automatic outside light suddenly come on, so your obviously going to investigate. you reach the front door and...WHAM... some ugly shit is banging on your door.
Really, what would you do in this situation?
I think that the whole REAL HORROR thing is something like this. Making your audience feel that if they get scared and pull the covers over their head that something is going to be waiting for them underneath. What do ya think? :)
