Morals

The two films that i have decided to analyze are Scream (1996) and Halloween (1978)

In horror movies there are certain rules in which you must follow if you do not want to die, follow these rules and you will survive a horror movie. The main three rules are 1. Do not have sex. 2. Do not take drugs and finally, 3. Do not drink. These are all negative things and these two horror movies show the viewers the consequences of braking any of these rules, and the mistakes of the characters that brake these rules, make the morals of the films. In is used in the films by showing us that the characters that break these rules are the ones that are doomed to die. We realize that the ones that drink, have sex, or take drugs are always the ones that are killed by the killer and the characters that behave and are innocent manage to survive. For example, in Halloween Lorie is the only one that survives while her friends who drank, had sex and took drugs were both victims of the masked killer.
