Horror film costumes

Costumes and other aspects of horror films

Costumes are a vital part to a genre especially horror because different types of costumers can insinuate different things.

Typical costumes in a horror film would be plain and quite bland colours with not much detail. The costume can help the audience understand what each of the characters are and there role.

Killers: Dark (evil, mysterious) Cloaks (hiding something) Black (no emotion)

 

 

Victim: White (vulnerable, pure) red (danger)

 

 

Other characters: dull boring clothes, earthy, brown, grey, green

 

 

 

Masks can be used to completely change the identity of a character and make them seem emotionless and not human in some cases this is seen in "Halloween" and "Friday 13th" both characters appear a lot more scary because they could be anyone even a character already introduced
