My favourite scene and image from my horror research is from
Reuben Fleischer’s Zombie land (2009).
This scene uses different uses of the horror genre checklist,
such as it uses loads of body horror
and gore when Tallahassee is shooting the zombies, it also uses creepy locations as it is set in an
abandoned theme park.
This scene also uses character archetype for Tallahassee as
he is portrayed as the male hero
with the phallic symbol of his gun
to sacrifice himself to save the others, but he survives as Zombie land
is a Horror/Comedy it would ruin the comedy of the film if one of the main
characters in the film dies at the end of the narrative.
I want to make this type of horror but without the comedy
aspects to maintain seriousness. A straight action/horror would still combine
two of the most popular film genres together so still would gain a wider range
of audiences due to being multi-generic.
