Iconography of Horror films

I created a short video clip on a App called 'Flipagram' which allows me to create a video with audio using images, i created one showing images i collected which show the typical iconography in Horror films. 


This includes scary characters such as 'Freddy Kruegar' or Possessed characters such as 'The Exorcist' and Vampires such as 'Dracula'. 
A lot of Horror films include blood,gore and weapons, which are typical iconography used in films such as 'Saw' and 'Hills have eyes'.
Furthermore many horror films are set in 'Haunted' or 'Abandoned places' which are set to connote mystery and creates a anxious feeling for the audience. Also in the films, Victims are hyperbolically scared,to empathize a feared reaction from the audience. This activity has allowed me to research and have a better understanding of what iconography to use in my opening sequence i will be creating.
