Initial Planning Ideas
Dolls
Dolls are used in many horror films that have been very successful to scary the audience. Films that have used dolls are The Women in Black, Chucky, Dead Silent. This is a good idea to use a doll because it sets the idea of supernatural possessing dolls.
Children
Children being in horror films are victims or the killer. Most children in horror films are possessed and chanting maybe even calling the spirits. Films that use children are Sinister, The Ring, Paranormal activity, The Grudge, Exorcism.
Glasgow Grin
The Glasgow Grin is a known horror concept that not many films have done. It has been known to be in films such as Smiley and Batman with the Joker. This is good because it breaks convention because not many horror films have made use of this creepy murder technique. Times where people used this have usually been placed upon the killer too to make them more scary. We have further broken convention by making the Glasgow Grin a technique used instead by the killer to give to the victims to torture them.
News Reports
These News Reports are going to display reports of missing people and possible body discoveries depending on which direction we go with it. This conforms to convention due to the fact that films in the past have made use of news reports who have described the current situation. News reports, if used well, are good because they subtly portray the basic story of what the killer is doing to these people throughout the movie.
