Horror Moodboard


The two images of the women represent our final girl and main character. She is a strong woman who kills men which have given unwanted sexual attention to her and other females. This is because she was sexually abused as a child by her father. Unconventionally, our female killer is blonde and goes against the archetypal killer. This links to the female killer in Kill Bill (top left hand corner) which was betrayed by a male and seeks revenge. She reflects our blonde killer with the courage and heroine vibe.

Although she is strong and independent, there is still innocence about her and she is still a ‘little girl’. Therefore, there is a likeable sense about her and she is an anti-villain. This reflects the other image from Carrie (bottom right hand corner) where she is a teenage killer but still frightened and somewhat normal at home. This is shown in the image as ‘Carrie’ is seen looking at her hands and frightened of what she’s done.

We have included an image of a symbol that represents feminism as Francesca’s actions are very biased towards women, and protecting herself and others from men. Some men view women in a motherly, stay at home and serve the husband role, in a functionalist and patriarchal society. Our blonde female killer subverts this role and dominates over men and their stereotypical thoughts of a ‘blonde bimbo’.

We will be focusing on a lot of body horror as this is our main genre theme. Also, because the blonde killer will be involved in alot of murders which will occur in various different ways and effects.
