#misery – @goryhorroor on Tumblr

“in the 1990s, horror movies shifted away from the grotesque masks, buckets of liquid latex, and half-naked co-eds that had defined the genre during the 1980s. due to the 1990s being a more accepting time, diversity in all aspects was included in horror films. all races and sexualities were being represented through movies. 1990s horror movies also reflected fears about the approaching end of the millennium. were ancient prophecies about to come true? would the year 2000 trigger the sequence of devastating global events known as the apocalypse?”

horror plot devices • storms/weather

this directly targets the protagonists whether or not they're able to get help or escape, and could be the direct cause of everything (whether it's caused by supernatural forces or not).

horror sub-genres • isolation horror

from a storytelling standpoint, isolation forces the characters to confront the villain with limited resources in a confined area where they can't escape. one reason why isolation works so well is that it keeps the main characters from getting help and tests their psychological state.
