Scary! These twelve classic elements of terror are all around us.

　 　 Special feature of 1905 film network The seventh month of the lunar calendar every year is what we call the "ghost month" in folklore. On the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, this day is the heaviest day in July, which is what we call the "Mid-Autumn Festival" in July and a half. In custom, we say that the gate of hell is always closed, and all ghosts have to go out for a night outing and wander around the world. In this month, we have many taboos in the legend.

　 　 And many taboos are reflected in a large number of horror films. Examples that once made big profits at a small cost, and domestic horror films that won the Best Art Contribution Award at the FIRST Film Festival this year, all told some terrible things in the same pseudo-record way.

　 　 In addition to the image of a female ghost with long hair and white clothes that we usually think of (as you are familiar with), the most famous image in domestic horror movies is the zombie. Whether it’s comedy horror or thriller horror, zombies are indispensable.

　 　 In fact, in most horror films, what we see is mostly the image of a lonely soul floating around. However, as ghosts, they can be possessed anywhere. These films to be introduced today are all from very classic or blockbuster horror films, and each horror film contains classic places that you may or may not have seen.

The ghost in the mirror has a careful design, which confuses people’s minds, confuses reality and illusion, and finally kills people.

It is the director’s means to do something in the film and reality, focusing on the fusang sweep and hanging a paragraph, and not forgetting the spoof at the end.
