Gore in Supernatural Horror (Sources of Inspiration)

SOURCES OF INSPIRATION: GORE IN SUPERNATURAL HORROR

Blood pouring from the walls and ceilings are used to symbolise danger, death and the unnaturality of situations.
(This could be useful for us to use to re-enforce the supernatural elements of our film but would be difficult on our low budget and could look very ineffective.)









 The exaggerated gore caused supernatural events such as in silent hill.
(This would be the easiest way to introduce gore into our scene by using the supernatural events to cause death and injury. However, this does not add to any relevance of the supernaturality but would highlight the consequence and act as a device to enforce fear. Also, would subvert the expectations of a spirit-based supernatural plot.)




Gore in the form of wounds and illness used to represent the unnatural.
(If we chose to follow a path towards the possession or zombie sections of supernatural, this option could be used to signify the contrast between the human and the evil and would be useful for us to make the supernatural appear more scary. However, it may be difficult to create large-scale gore effectively due to our experience and budget.)
