It could be said that horror is one of the most iconic genres in cinema history. From Psycho (1960) by Alfred Hitchcock. To recent films much as Friday the 13th or Halloween. Throughout the horror genre we can see how the use of dark lighting, suspenseful sound effects and structure have evolved to what the horror genre is today. Hitchcock’s influence on new horror films such as Friday the 13th 1980 brought a new sub genre, “Slasher”. This sub genre focused on the violence of the horror genre, emphasising the ‘horror’ through murder particularly stabbings and hand held weapons. there are always a set of rules or sequences in common on all horror and slasher films. One of the most notable sequences of “Slasher” is the climax. We see the heroine being chased by the murderer into a dead end. We then finally experience the heroine surviving and killing or framing the villain.the most modern and well known horror of today is scream 1996 we see how these set of rules and sequences play out. Laurie strode in Scream is a perfect example of this as she survives all possible odds ending in killing the villain. Scream also has a parody aspect to it and lets us relive the classic horror techniques and structure , but also lets us laugh and comment on the structure and techniques of horror.
All the films we watched shared a similar feature and another rule the “kill scene”. we also see each new horror film has borrowed features and it can be obvious as we see in scream that the
Shakespeare uses an object of nature to punctuate the conflicting qualities of his characters. Throughout Shakespeare’s tragedy, the flower is shown holding a variety of qualities and potential.

spring rains had brought up the grass and the wild-flowers out of the ground and the flowers ran all blue and yellow far as the eye could see and in the dream he was among the horses running and in the dream he himself could run with the horses and they coursed the young mares and fillies over the plain where their rich bay and their rich chestnut colors shone in the sun and the young colts ran with their dams and trampled down the flowers in a haze of pollen that hung in the sun like powdered…
Leaning against the splintering wood fence he peers at the small cottage opposite his.

"...the days had never been as beautiful as these...each day a golden surprise." Surprise is the element Alice Walker presents in her story "The Flowers." It is at the heart of the meaning of this story which is driven forward by imagery, setting, and diction.

Walker describes the harvests, which evince "excited little tremors" in Myop…

One way to achieve proper tone is to imagine a situation in which to say the words being…
