Horror films seek to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's most primal fears. They often feature scenes that startle the viewer through the means of macabre and the supernatural, thus frequently overlapping with the fantasy and science fiction genres. Horrors also frequently overlap with the thriller genre.
This is a storyboard of a horror genre in the movie "Scream"
The movie was introduced in 1996 and stormed the box office with it's twist and turns.
The opening scene views a blond girl, a perfect stereo-typic character for a horror genre, home alone ready to watch nothing but a scary movie. The phone rings a number of times alerting the girls attention, she is also making so pop corn. The sound of the pop corn rises the audience heartbeat in anticipation. The scene then cuts to an establishing shot of a house in the wilderness. As she picks up the phone and has a conversation with the unknown man, he quotes a sentence that shocks not only the girl but the audience, he says "i want to know who am looking at", this is said because the girl asked he unknown man "why do you want to know my name. As the movie carries on the only way to grab the girls attention is when he present a boy (the girls boyfriend) in a chair bleeding, engaging the girl to co-operate with what the unknown man is saying.
