The sub-genre ‘teen – slasher’ means a horror movie usually with one central homicidal maniac who usually uses cutlery to systematically slaughter his victims. Example of these characters are ‘Freddy Kruger’, ‘Jason Voorhees’, and ‘Chucky’. It also involves teenagers that are typically the victims in these types of films.

Other terms related to the word ‘slasher’ are: Horror fan fiction Gore Psycho Chainsaw Slinging knives and many more. The locations that we have chosen are the types that would be seen in teen – slasher films. These would

consist of big deserted buildings that are either run down, or just not used anymore. The reason for this is because the antagonist would want the actions to take place somewhere where no one could find out what happened or trace him.

LSU (La Sainte Union) is a all girls secondary school that has a very eerie feel to it, because of the ancient polls which look like the buildings from the Roman times. Slasher films also base their settings in secluded areas such as fields, woods, forests and similar places, because in these types of areas there would be no phone connections and therefore the victims would not be able to call any one for help. Also, since a field would have masses of space, the victims bodies can be hidden easily and it would be really hard to find because of the size of the area.

We chose to base some of our night scenes in Hampstead Heath which is a really big park that has woods, lakes and many other things situated inside. The reason behind our choice was because Hampstead Heath has no lights in it, so at night time it would get very dark and no one would want to be in there because of the crazy people that could attack and no one would be able to find you. So we believe this would be the perfect place to film some shots.
