Costumes in Horror/Thriller (Research)

Ordinary, daily clothing is often used in horror films to create a sense of normality. For example in Scream, the character is wearing a polo neck and trousers. This is done to potray innocence within the character. Also, in Misery, the character also wore ordinary clothing. This shows that trouble or bad things come in the way of innocent people.


Rough and dirty clothing was used in saw portraying the thought of their social class and how less important the two characters are in terms of status, because they have been left in a abandon room with barley anything.


In creep your unable to see costume within the few first minutes because the images are being shown from a point of view angle. Which portrays that the audience have not got a sense of what type of person this character is because your able to tell a lot from what people what for example wealth and their culture.


In scream the look of wealth in terms of the materials of the clothing suggesting that the victim is portrayed to be better in term of money and class and stereotypically it is the upper class who do not see to cause trouble but however trouble seems to find them.
