- Typical horror conventions are well known
- They are easy to portray through the cinematography and mise-en-scene
- They can keep the audience in suspense easliy and quickly
- The main characters are typically the same in each horror film so it is easy to portray the exact character.
- Horror films create many enigma codes straight away and can carry on throughout the film.
- They make you want to find out the plot and keeps the audience on their seats.
Cons
- Horror films can sometimes be too obvious as what is going to happen and can easily follow other horror films. For example, always having the typical mise-en-scene for the location of being in the middle of no where, a young innocent girl being in a big house by herself and something negative happening. This could bore the audience if the typical conventions are always going on.
- If a horror film is not thought about carefully the audience may be able to guess what is going to happen so it won't keep them in suspense.
