THE FOREST IS A SETTING THAT IS A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FOR HORROR. SCARY STORIES ARE USUALLY TOLD AROUND A CAMPFIRE AND PROIDING A READY-MADE ATMOSPHERE OF DARKENESS AND SHADOW AWAY FROM CIVILIZATION, THIS MAKES IT A VERY SUITABLE PLACE FOR A SHOT TO BE TAKEN.

USUALLY ANYTHING THAT IS SEEN AS ABANDONED HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE A GOOD SETTING FOR A HORROR MOVIE. THESE CAN INCLUDE : ABANDONED BUNKERS ABANDONED SCHOOLS ABANDONED SHIPS PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL THE OLD SCHOOL HAUNTED SCHOOLTHE CEMETRY/GRAVEYARD IS SEEN AS NO BIG SUPRISE TO BEING A LOCATION FOR EXCESS OF HORROR SCENES.

CARNIVALS AND FAIRS ALSO HAVE A HORROR POTENTIAL. CLOWNS, MIMES, THE DARKENESS, AND WEIRD FLASHING LIGHTS LEND A PREFECTLY GOOD HAND TO MAYHEM AND GHASTLY SETTING. TO SET A HORROR FILM IN A TYPICAL PLACE OF FUN AND EXCITEMENT , YOUR SORT OF LULLING THE AUDIENCE INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY BECAUSE EXPECTATIONS ARE FLIPPED AND WHAT MAY SEEM LIKE UNEXPECTED WOULD SUDDENLY TURN INTO SOMETHING BRUTAL, VICIOUS KILLING.

EXAMPLES OF A FILM SET IN THE CARNIVAL OF FAIR ARE:

THE DESERT IS HOT, HUMID AND BARREN. IT IS UNSUSTAINABLE TO BE LIVING IN THE DESERT AND THIS SHOULS IMMEDIATELY RAISE FLAGS AND SO PUT A HORROR STORY INTO A DESET SETTING WOULD BE A GENIUS IDEA TO DO. LIKE THE OCEAN OR OUTER SPACE SCENARIOS, MOST OF THE DESERT TERROR COMES FROM THE ISOLATION AND THE INABILITY TO ESCAPE TO SAFE GROUND.
