Horror Characters

Character seen in Horror film: • Antagonist - This character is in every Horror whether it be a demonic character or a real person. This is what causes the trouble in the film. This character is usually shown as more powerful than everyone else. • Victim – every film has at least one victim, some times more. In paranormal films there may be one main victim and others around who get affected by the ‘Ghost’. Often the villain would be a child, due to the idea that children are more open to paranormal activities and weaker. Or a blonde female, with the idea that she is a ‘blonde bimbo’ and can’t look after herself. • The Survivor – In many Horrors there is at least one survivor, it is often a brunette female.
