TWINS IN HORROR

BACKGROUND/ MY HORROR TRAILERIn my horror film the two main characters- protagonist and antagonist are going to be twins.

Twins are often used in horror to create a creepy feel.

As a twin myself I found it interesting to research the psychology of twins in horror; there is said to be such a strong bond between twins that they can feel each other’s pains/emotions.

This is effective for my film as ‘Lauren’ knows something is wrong with her twin brother when no one else does.

Here are some inspirations…

THE SHINING (1980)

‘The Grady sisters’ are often said to have

been the start of the twin convention in

horror films.

DEAD RINGERS (1988)

‘Two bodies. Two minds. One soul’

SISTERS (1973)

Conjoined twins.

TWINS OF EVIL (1971)

Hammer Horror production.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW (2014)
