When I think of horror locations from films that I have watched, my mind leads me to abandoned houses, graveyards, old houses and the woods. Living in a rural area surrounded by trees and older building this was quite an easy tasks. Here are some of the images I managed to capture.
This first image was taken down a road leading to the woods. This I feel is a very sppoky image as the way the camera is angled makes the road look like it gets smaller. This I think is quite common in horror films as the characters who come into contact with a path like this are usually running 'to their doom'.
This image is taken at an old hall. This I think has an element of the horror genre in as everything is dark and the lighting looks quite eery, this is also fitting with this genre as many horror scenes are filmed in an old location.
Here in another image I have taken, this time in a church that I live near. When thinking of the horror genre churches and graveyards are the number one thing that comes to mind.
Here is another image from the church. I felt this gate fit perfectly with the horror genre because of the crosses at the top. When seeing these crosses it leads you to think of God and Satan, this is a common theme in horror films such as 'The exorcism'. The fact that this is in a graveyard also fits the horror theme because of the age old fear of the unknown and if ghosts and haunting truly exist.
Finally this is a tree outside my house. I think this looks spooky simply because of how tall and big the tree is, this leading you to feel small and uneasy next to it.
All of my images were taken at night as this way I felt I would be able to engage with what surrounding scared me more successfully.
