    Episode 201: Horror Color Theory

    Film is a visual medium. Almost Everything we see on screen is a deliberate choice made by filmmakers to add to the mood and general aesthetic of the film. Horror in particular relies on visual elements to create a mysterious and uneasy atmosphere. In the first episode of season 2 we discuss color and how it is used in the horror genre.

    Episode 111: The Sound of Horror

    Horror does not want it’s audience to simply watch the movie, but to experience it along with the characters as a passive participant. Sound is used to fully immerse the audience in the horror experience; to induce feelings of anxiety, fear, comedy, and relief alongside the protagonist. Horror is not only seen, but heard.Infrasound Clip: https://www.rha-audio.com/blog/diegetic-sound-in-horror-movies#ghost_frequencyFollow us on Social Media: @horrorstudyhall
