I think the “Andy Griffin Show” was more entertaining than “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”. The reason I think this is because”The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” took place in the dark and I do not like the dark. I like the “Andy Griffin Show” better is because it took place in the daylight hours and I like day. I also like the “Andy Griffin Show” because all you see is a stranger and in”The Monsters Are Due on maple Street” you see Aliens. I would much rather see a stranger in my town…

“Do you like scary movies?” – Ghostface, Scream Who can forget those classic horror lines that still give you the creeps at night? But like every other genre of film, horror movies have progressed over the decades, adjusting to each new generation and preying on or catering to their fears. My name is Joee Granato and today I will be selling to you my new cutting edge horror film but before I get to that I’d like to talk about how I came to the idea of this movie. As I said before, horror has…

Reading Stephen King's essay on why we crave horror, makes me question his beliefs, as he wrote, “those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better – and maybe not all that much better, after all.” I do not find a craving of horror movie essential for my life, (though I do enjoy a nice thrill every now and then) but this line makes me wonder if we are all secretly batshit crazy. I concur with his statement that almost everyone is partially insane at times. He says that horror movies…

Have you ever watched a horror movie and thought about how bad those people's decisions are? Yea, I am pretty sure we all have at least once. Watching the movies just makes all of us cringe because their decisions just don’t make sense! We can help it though. All of those decisions could be prevented if those people just followed the rules of a horror movie. There are six important rules. Don’t go into creepy houses, don’t investigate the creepy noise outside, don’t talk to the murderer, hide in…

Kings argument makes a good case for the publics attraction to this essay why we crave horror movies. The essay tells why people like going to the theaters and spending money to watch a scary movie. It tells how people sometimes can try to show how brave they are and how some people can also just want to be a kid and just enjoy those kind of movies. Steven king also tells few names of his favorite horror movies. People always come across those who try to show off that they are not afraid of…

Great horror movies stick with us because they have a great story and a chilling underlying fear sitting under the surface to stick with us. Subpar horror films have the story, but lack the underlying fear. Bad horror films lack both. NIGHTMARE CODE is a subpar horror film. The same problem afflicted this this year’s highly acclaimed IT FOLLOWS, but in reverse order. It had the deep seeded fear, but lacked the storytelling chops to actually do anything with those. NIGHTMARE CODE lacks the deep…

Following this demonstration of continued popularity, Rafter (2007) argues that film plays a key role in informing, perceiving and understanding various components of criminality. Therefore, research using films should be deemed as a salient feature within criminology. When discussing film and its impact on audiences, Shonfield's (2000) research on film usage is advantageous. She explains that when audiences watch a film, they are able to temporarily pause their personal cynicism and allows…

Thomas hebert Tim Burton style essay Tim Burton is a very well known film director. He is known for movies like the remaking of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Big Fish. He is very unique with his style of lighting, music choices and camera angles. He uses a lot of long shots with high key lighting. He also uses a lot of medium shots with bottom or side lighting making it seem scary especially with his choice of music. One of the best things a director can do is choose the right music…

In “Why We Crave Horror Movies,” an article by Stephen King, he explains his view on why we enjoy horror films. He chooses to say we go to fill a somewhat morbid taste for watching someone suffer, as well as using it as a method of triumph, showing others we simply can bare it. King says that if we aren’t feeling quite ourselves or are just feeling off all we really need is a good horror movie to set us right again. He claims that we all have a part in us that craves the gory, horror in films…

I never considered paintings to be the beginning of photography, nor have I ever considered rough sketches of city streets to be its humble beginnings either. I have never gone to an art museum and thought, “hm, maybe this artist was using some sort of camera obscura technique to help see an image clearer, or to see different angles of the image at the same time.” From now on, I will. It is an extremely innovative technique that has never once crossed my mind. Looking at the images in the power…
