Horror are a popular genre of film as they offer the audience thrills of adrenaline and paranormal activity that excites and frightens the audience. When we watch a horror film, there are certain clichés that as the audience, we expect to see.
The scene always begins with introducing either the plot to the film in what the antagonist does to scare the people within the film. Or they begin with showing the setting of either a village or background and give some background information about what the setting is like before the antagonist is introduced.
We can expect a young child, who will either be shown as the venerable one or can be seen as quite creepy. When there are children involved in a horror film, we normally hear children humming nursery rhymes or the sound of music boxes in the background playing over a quiet scene. This is done to make the audience feel intimidated and freaked out.
Horror films are normally based in a rural setting where there is a lot going on, or in an abandoned home that we stereotypically expect to be haunted.
Another convention of a horror is that the film either ends with the antagonist leaving the protagonist alone or the antagonist dying. Or we see the protagonist have to move away from that area / place to get away from the antagonist to protect themselves.
