Reserach Horror Conventions - Chracters

Characters in films are meant to be central people in the narrative. Analysing the horror films I looked into what type of characters are used in a film:

· Main Character (s) - Hero (s) (male or female), who are seen as innocent sufferers that reverse there role and start to fight against the bad guy.










· Villain (s) (male or female) who are seen as the bad guy in the story, will end up killing someone in the beginning, sometimes the killer has a particular disguise for example a tattoo, mask, or the way he talks which could help the hero or the viewer pick out who the killer is.






· Side Characters – friends, family, or just civilians who either get killed in the beginning or during the film who know the main character. 





· Supernatural Characters - ghost, zombie, demons spirits possessing demons, spirits possessing children




· Stereotype Characters - a blonde bimbo, a bully who is probably a jock (American football player),
