Horror Movies: A Nightmare On Elm Street

Ever since I watched my first horror movie with my friends I have been hooked on watching them. From watching Halloween to the Shining with my friends, watching scary movies really bring us together because that's mostly all we talk about. In order for a horror movie to be considered great, they should have certain characteristics.

The first characteristic for any horror movie to be considered good, the movies must include a crazy killer. One movie that includes a crazy killer is A Nightmare on Elm Street. Frequently the main antagonist, Freddy, creeps in and out of dreams and real life of the kids lives he terrorizes in the movies. Through the movies they show that he is a crazy killer because he plots to kill these kids and really
The music gives hints to the viewer as to when the antagonist is going to strike or basically telling the viewers someone is about to die. The most classic movie series that shows this are the Halloween movies. The movie has a very catchy piano type music which always gets the audience's attention. The music comes on when Michael Myers is in a scene waiting for the victim he plots to kill. The next movie that includes music is Children of the Corn. The music that is incorporated into the movie is very spooky because in one part of the movie when it comes on, all the kids that are in the cult are after the tourists that they believe have invaded their privacy. It comes on throughout the movie giving off eerie vibes about the children and their mischievous behaviors. The last movie that uses music is Jaws. Jaws is based on a killer great white shark. Throughout the movie the citizens of the beach town are constantly trying to kill the great white because of the shear size and threatening nature it has on the town. The music builds up suspense because whenever it comes on it means that Jaws in going to be in the scene either attacking harmless citizens or attacking the sailors trying to kill him. These three pieces of music really make these movies great because they inform viewers that something bad is about to
The first movie that has action scenes is Halloween. In the first Halloween movie, Michael Myers goes into the house where a babysitter and two little kids were hiding. The babysitter fought off Michael to where he wouldn't be able to stab her. The babysitter ends up stabbing Michael and thinking that he is dead. Help comes to the babysitter moments later and they shoot Michael to hope he would die but at the very end of the movie he disappeared. This action scene was great simply because it left viewers wondering where Michael went and was a cliffhanger for the next movie to find out. Action scenes regularly happen in A Nightmare on Elm Street. In one instance, Freddy was in a kid’s dream where he got pulled out into real life. When he was pulled out of the dream, Freddy and the kid fought all throughout the house where they each tried to kill each other. Eventually the kid took advantage of Freddy and in the movie he was killed, but eventually comes back in the movies to terrorize more kids. The last example that showcases action scenes is Child's Play. The movie that has one particular action scene is in Child's Play 2. Chucky is the antagonist of this movie and the action scene that makes this movie great is in the factory. In the factory that Chucky was made, he tries to kill the two kids that he has been stalking. This plan to kill them backfires and he
