SCREAM:
Analyse:
Masked stalker-The masked stalker in SCREAM symbolised the stereotypical antagonist in classic horror films who toyed with his victims and took them to the brink of fear before killing them. An example of this is the recurring "rules of the horror film" and brings it into the typical horror genre but puts an unexpected twist to it. It also included the strong female lead which was a big part in other horrors such as Halloween and rosemary`s baby, but even though she fell into the normal stereotypical girl lead (virgin,no drugs or drinking) she falls out of it towards the end (by having sex) but still remains strong and is able to take down the killers. In this way SCREAM twists the "rules" of horror films, but also makes fun at its self and other classic horror films.
HALLOWEEN:
Analyse:
Masked stalker-The masked stalker in Halloween symbolises the change in youth after the 1960s. Because of the influence of drugs and sex caused people to stereotype teenagers as reckless delinquents. But the female protagonist shows that but not partaking in the "crude" acts she is able to fight off the masked stalker that terrorises her when her friends who have fallen into the stereotype, were easily killed by the stalker. This added to the commercial success of the film because it showed that people (teenagers) were punished for doing wrong and that the protagonist who remained good survived.

Explain-Masked Stalker
SCREAM:
Explain:
Masked Stalker-The masked stalker was used in SCREAM to create the horror and life threatening situations in the film. The ghost face killer was masked to create tension between the characters in the film, as they didn't know who they could trust and we at points convinced it was someone they knew. But as the plot thickened and the situation became more drastic the killers messed with their victims to change the ideas that they had of the killer to manipulate the outcome of the night. The audience is kept in the dark about the killers identity and the switching up of the killers made it hard to tell who was the real killer, and the audience like the characters in the film ended up suspecting anyone who comes into the story line. He was also masked to scare their victims during their final moments and make the event more brutal than it would have been.
HALLOWEEN:
Explain:
Masked Stalker-The masked stalker in Halloween acted as the antagonist to the story. He was an escaped mental patient who was reveled at the start showing him murdering his sister and then 16 years later escaping the hospital and returning to his home town to commit more murders. the tension is broken at the start and there is no mystery about who the killer is as he is instantly reveled and named as Michael Myers. But the suspense and horror builds as the audience knows that he is a deranged psychopath and has no motive for killing only that he takes enjoyment from it. But the victims in the movie have no clue who he is, what hes done and what hes going to do to them. He is masked because it is Halloween night and so could hide his face without people asking questions. It is also used in remembrance of his first murder this was also on Halloween night and he was dressed on a clown outfit. His mask also makes his appearance more creepy and adds to the horror of the film.

describe - Masked stalker
SCREAM:
Describe:
Masked stalker-The masked stalker in scream is the ghost face killer. He wears a long black cloak and a screaming mask which was adapted from The Scream painting. This demented costume adds to the horror and brutal nature of the murders especially in the opening scene where he kills and guts two high school students after leading them through their dark and suspenseful last moments. His appearances are not always scary for example when he traps Tatum (the best friend) in the garage, he instantly reveals himself. And his trademark phone calls became less common towards the end as he had trapped his victums in an isolated house and was free to manipulate his victums as he wants. He is revealed to be both Billy and Stu. This is unexpected and added to the suspense of the film because it was hard to guess who the ghost face killer was until they were revealed at the end.
HALLOWEEN
Describe:
Masked stalker-The masked stalker in Halloween was Micheal Myers an escaped mental patient, who had been locked up for 16 years for murdering his older sister on halloween night while dressed in a clown outfit. But 16 years later he escapes the asylum and returns to his home town to wreck havoc on its towns people on halloween night. His well planned out killing spree takes place on a single night in a single street and it takes a long time for him to kill anyone, but after his first victim is choked to death in her car the suspense builds and the situation becomes more drastic for the victims. Micheal wears a Captain Kirk mask to mimic the clown mask he had on at the start, and as before has no real reason for commiting the murders. And in the end is seen to escape the scene after being shot and stabbed multiple times and you were never too sure if he was really dead and as it turned out he wasn`t. This left you confused and a little on edge as you knew he was not dead and would be back to finish what he started.
