Teen Slashers

Halloween (1980):
This film will replace as a feature film or coincide with another feature film such as Scream but both have differences in displaying horror but have the same intentions- murder.

It talks about the failure of Horror movies in the 70's and when Halloween was released it made history of progressing the horror genre further.

Halloween or most Horror films are based on urban legends, this gives me ideas and inspiration by further studying Horror films specifically based on urban legends.
In the History of the slasher movie (1/5) it talks about the urban legend of "The tale of the Hook" which in simplified versions mean: have sex and you die. The tale of the hook legend originated in the 1950's to scare children that having sex under-age is bad.

On the introduction of the History of the slasher movies (1/5) it has a sequence of famous directors speculating their views on their knowledge of Horror films.
'John Carpenter' states Horror movies are when you know something's going to happen, the tension occurs when anticipating when it happens. I like this statement as it concludes the reason why Horrors are so scary because the film shares the adrenaline to the audience.
'Sean Cunningham' also states about sharing archetypes and fears saying that next time we see them it gives us an edge on the dangers.
