I agree with most of Russell’s ideas about horror and his ideas on the elements of horror. I strongly agree with Russell when he talks about how horror creates suspense and create tension in lines 17-19. I agree with him because most horror novels do include a very suspenseful part. I also agree with Russell when he says not all horror novels deal with monsters in lines 8-10. I very much so believe all horror novels deal with some type of villain or evil person, but that doesn't mean it is always a monster. Russell's information on horror really helped me understand the topic of the horror genre in a further understanding.

I agree with Russel's ideas about horror and how suspense is the main focus when writing a horror story or movie. Every horror movie has the one person that hears a weird noise in the basement or the attic, and goes up or down there to see what it is. This really creates suspense and sometimes you wish you could just tell the person, don't go down there or why would you go down there? Some of the older horror movies you can tell what's going to happen or how fake the creature is, and in that case, the suspense isn't as strong as the newer movies such as Lights out or the Ouija movie. When watching or reading about these situations I can really see the good vs. evil and how the one person is trying to stop whats going on and the other person just goes to the basement and becomes a zombie or something else.

Russell's ideas about the horror genre are similar to mine because we have the same opinion in some things. I agree with him that suspense can form in different ways. I believe that when you read or watch something based on horror, it is filled with suspense. Sometimes you don't even notice it. Russell thinks that "stories that deal
with parallel worlds expect us to accept those worlds without
question" (lines 54-55). When I came across that line I thought about what he said and I agree with him. When you see a skeleton chasing after someone in a horror movie, you don't thinks its unrealistic, you just go with it without noticing most of the time because it is in the horror genre. Lastly, I disagree with him when he talks about the setting. Russell says that the when the setting is dark and spooky, it gives off bad vibes. I recently watched a horror movie that took place during the daytime and everything was nice. Even though the setting was not scary, the movie was scary based on the plot and people. Russell and I are mostly similar with our opinions and knowledge of horror.

I have to say I agree with what Russell said because they were logical to what I also believe. When a person goes into a scary situation, most of the time it's their fault because they want to be more adventurous than they can handle. Horror stories are built it by making the reader try to guess what's next and then completely change it so they are not expecting it which scares them even more. It's like your mom telling you she will take you to the candy store when she gets home from work, and then she gets home and is a zombie trying to kill you. That is an example of what horror stories are similar to; that kind of feeling.

Both Russel and I have similar views on the horror genre. Before reading this, I knew that suspense was a huge part of the horror genre.  I also agree with him when he says on lines (47-48) "We expect a connection between the setting and the events in the genre". I agree because setting plays a huge role in how the events are laid out in the story. Finally, I agree with how the central theme and the main thing to look out for in these stories is good vs evil. It helps in expanding knowledge of this genre.

From what I know about horror, it mainly focuses on suspense. Like Russell said, if someone were to walk into a dark or petrifying place, people want to know what happens. They think:
"Are they going to die? Are they going to come across an unidentified creature?" Therefore, I agree with Russell's point on suspense.
What I don't agree on is that she said that people aren't surprised to find a dark and scary place, or to find the main character in an abandoned surrounding. My choice of a horror book is Silence of the Lambs. I was surprised to find the setting was a dark and creepy office in an FBI center, where the main character was assigned to go talk to a psychiatrist/cannibal in prison. Even if it was an abandoned castle or a dark cellar, people would still be surprised to see the outcome. Therefore, I don't agree with Russell's point on whether someone is surprised or not based on the setting.

I agree with Russell and basically everything he said. I agree with what he said about knowing that the person is walking into a bad situation. It really creates suspense because you know it is bad, but you don't know what will happen next. The buildup of anticipation is part of what makes a horror story scary.

Russel said that horror is developed with suspense which is what makes up anxious when reading a horror book or watching a movie. He stats that horror can come from going somewhere a character should go or something going wrong with a character. i strongly agree with what Russell says.

I agree with what Russel is trying to say about developing different ideas into many unique ways. Sometimes if i'm writing i like to right about previous experiences or even movies that I have watched. I agree when he says that in order for us to feel scared or worried about something the main character is doing it has to build up suspense and reach tension so that it pulls us in and makes us want to read more. I like this method that Russell uses to draw the readers attention, and if I were to write a scary book i would definitely think about adding this into it.

I strongly agree with most of Russell's ideas, especially in lines 35-40. The author states that since we can already anticipate what's going to happen in the film or book, we start getting nervous and curious to see if our prediction is going to come true. It's always better if it doesn't, which makes it a lot scarier and surprising. I also agree to the part of the text (lines 45-47), when the author says that when you put an unexpected setting in the movie, in this case the beautiful park, the audience starts getting really suspicious and scared because they can't predict what's going to happen next, which makes it really unsteady to watch.

Russell's and my ideas are fairly similar in many ways. One way is that we both believe in how anticipation can be used to trick and keep the reader intrigued in the story. We both also agree that setting plays a huge factor on the stories suspense. If the main character was in a area that was very popular apposed to a creepy house I would be more intrigued and into the story if it was in the creepy area. If I was reading a story I would not want the main character to go into that creepy and scary area. I think if I myself was writing a horror book or movie, I would make the main character have to go into the less populated and scary house to create anticipation and nervousness for the reader. Overall many of my thoughts on horror a very similar to Russell's.

I strongly agree with Russell and agree with him on all of his points. One of his statements is that it is more suspenseful to be in an abandoned house then at a beautiful park. Personally, if I was writing a horror story, I would probably not put my main character in a beautiful park. Russell's argument about advanced knowledge is also true. If I'm reading a book and I know there is a murderer in the house and the main character is about to enter the house, in my mind I'm yelling at the character, "What are you doing get out of the house!!!" In the end, most of Russell's points align with mine.

Russell's ideas and mine are fairly similar but also different. I had always thought that the horror genre didn't just have to do with the  classics and the characters, but with the settings. I also knew how suspense had played a role to create the horror genre we knew about the article, but I hadn't realized how the suspension was created. I had never thought about how the stories stay with us in "the real world" which to us, is just our perspective. Russell had said that she had almost believed that vampires are real and that she would have hung garlic if she hadn't known better. I had done the same thing when I was younger and I had watched the movie Beetle Juice. I had thought that if you said his name 3 times he would appear. I had also never thought about how we care more about the plot rather than the characters and the setting. All in all, I mostly agree with and understand what Russell was explaining in the article.

I strongly agree with Russell's ideas even though I've never thought about some of them in a way that she explained it. I was thinking the same thing when she said that we are expecting something scary because the genre is horror. I also agreed with her when she said that people tend to get more scared due to them thinking that the stories can happen in real life. I never thought of it like that when she said that horror can also mean people having split personalities and turning from a good person to an evil person. Overall, I agree with her point of view on the horror genre being mostly based on good vs. evil.

Russell's ideas vs. mine- Halla Shaikh

I agree with Russell's idea of the author using anticipation in order to scare the reader with new knowledge or something that the reader learned in the past. Overall, I agree with all of his ideas over how the horror genre can scare you and why. I believe that we also link certain events to what we are reading. We connect creepy houses with creepy things, this is because all horror that we are exposed includes this. Also, I think that when an author uses a topic that people do not know actually exist, it scares the reader even more. For example, the idea of a ghost scares more people than Dracula because we are uncertain about whether ghosts are real or not

I agree with russel that the horror genre is split into different themes, categories, and stories. I also think that the genre is based on suspense. I disagree with Russel that most people only care about one element of suspense (pg. 42). I think that theyre are several, such as the setting of the story, the plot of the story, the elemet of suprise, and the supernatural. Russel also belives that suspense is when the cahracter knows whats going to happen. I disagree with him because suspense is based on the element of suprise.
