1. Explain the importance of buildup and payoff in a horror film.
2. What aspects of the example made it scarier?
The length of the buildup increases the suspense by the second. Rather than multiple mediocre scares, it is more effective to use time to build up to one horrifying scare. Additionally, buildup can increase effectiveness by setting the location as somewhere a person is comfortable at (ex. a bedroom). When a comfortable place is violated, the audience is more likely to experience unease. The examples were scary because they effectively used time and location in their favor to create suspenseful horror scene.
