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.
