My chosen genre is horror

Settings: most horror are set in a scary place e.g. woods, abandoned house, small isolated town, grave yard. This is because these are places that every day people have fears of so would be the easy way to scare them as they wouldn't want them to be put in that place so because they are following the characters as an audience they become scared.

 Type: There are a few different types of horror e.g. paranormal, slasher, monsters and gore.
These like settings are people's fears like monsters attacking people in there sleep in a common dream so is effective.
