Research - Masks

Masks are used in many different horror movies; they use these because it hides the identity of the actor.  These actors within the film mainly are the characters which other characters try to avoid; this is because they are usually the killer(s) within the movie. For example the film Freddy vs. Jason use mask to hide the identity of their serial killer, so know body is able to identify who they are. Also the killer’s character also has these clothes which he/she wears to kill the suspects instead of using their bare hands.
There are other horror movies which use this idea such as:
·         Hannibal’s Muzzle (The Silence of the Lambs)
·         Scream Mask (Scream)
·         Michael Myers’ Mask (Halloween)


Also horror movies use masks to try and fright the audience because of the way they look. The masks that we see in movies are variable from having plain white masks with very little detail or the producers will make them look more frightening to scare the other characters or the audience.
