Paranormal Horror

When looking at horror films that are scary within our society today they all mainly consist with ghost or demands, paranormal happenings is something that can't be scientifically explained and people have reported experiences with. I feel that this is such a popular theme for horror films today as it shows are need to explain and know everything as a society we constantly want to know exactly how and why things happen genres like vampier's and zombies we can prove can't be real unlike ghosts. This genre furthermore shows our fear of death and the afterlife something that is the epitome of the unknown.
These two films below are an example of this, i feel these clips explore the unknown this could be interesting to look at for the film that Claudia is obsessed with at the time the fact she dose not leave her flat is almost the opposite to watching this film as her fear is the fear of the unknown of the real world. Furthermore the idea that Quentin is imaginary she could project the ideas of demons onto his character and almost create this toxic atmosphere about him.



Below are some images collected from my 'Gothic Horror inspo' Pinterest page- http://gb.pinterest.com/milliejohns/gothic-horro-inspo/ these images portray a paranormal ghost like feel about them. The top right image also reminds me of a memory of someone as though she was abducted a topic we constantly here about in the news this is very specific to my generation and particularly to the target audience of my music video (teenage girls) as its an issue that is always happening and every time sends shivers down my spine. This is also picked up on my the creators of these types of paranormal horror films each time the victim is females or young girls.
