I have inserted music over my blog which is the type of music used in horror films. It is spooky and gives you a chill down your spine, making you feel scared. This type of music is good in horror films as it is generally used to build tension up and then scare the audience, this is a very effective technique that most horrors if not all will use.

Every horror film is different, each has a different genre, some are about the supernatural, ghosts and possessions and then there is natural horror where there is a murderer which is human or animal. Personally I find the supernatural horror films a lot scarier as the character tends to be unknown and this mystery makes you feel scared of the character. There are also horror films that use different actors which change the type of horror it is, for instance a teen horror uses teenagers to be the actors who are possessed or murdered throughout the film.
