My First and Most Recent Personal Horror Experience

The first horror film i remember watching at the age of 9 was Jeepers Creepers (2001). At the time this horror prevented me from sleeping and i refused to be left alone. This film truly did its job in frightening the audience. However when i watched this film more recently it appeared more as a comedy horror.

The most recent horror that i have watched is Incidious, although i was with a friend we were unable to travel home so we has to get a cab from the cinema.

Reflecting upon the the two films, it is clear that they both follow the same guidelines of horror, know as conventions. However one is still successful in frightening me, yet the other no longer achieves this.

This shows that as humanity and grows and develops, the conventions used within horror need to do the same in order to be successful in frightening the audience.
