HOT TUB TIME carrie

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE (ARM)                 CARRIE (ENDING)

Fear and humor can be drawn from the same factors to produce their different outcomes.  For great horror movies and great comedies have these links that truly bring the audience to these emotions. Here are three elements (below) I believe are key. PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS.

(1) SUSPENSE – Whether it’s the table scene in “The Wedding Crashers” or Jason stalking his victims in “Halloween” suspense can draw the audience in and cringe with laughter or fear till the climax.

(2) SHOCK- Comedic surprises scene in movies such as “The Interview” with bitten fingers and “Carrie” with hands from the grave can leave impressions in the audience way after the lights come on.

(3) RAW/GROSS- Nothing can turn away a viewer but still draw them in then a grotesque scene whether it be the losing of an arm in “Hot Tub Time Machine” or  the blood dripping down the drain in “Psycho”.  I personally believe sounds and effects can take the place and actual add to the impact then a direct visual experience.
