Horror Movies! More Practice with "Genre" and "Conventions"

(Class #3: I use this quick activity to reinforce the previous class activity on country songs as a genre)

Scenario: all of a sudden, you're sitting in the middle of a movie theater, watching a horror movie.  How do you know you're watching a horror movie?  What about this movie make it a horror movie?  When you think about horror movies, what are their ingredients, patterns, or characteristics?

After you jot down your predictions, let's put our hypotheses to the test!

The Shining

Psycho

It

Paranormal Activity
