horror setting

the perfect setting for a horror movie would be to pick the most innocent of settings. And this goes generally for horror movies, to turn innocence into the most horrible thing possible. for example: an eerie setting would be an abandoned playground with a slight fog in the air and the sound faint sound of the swing or the see-saw creaking. Or for a less subtle horror movie, a wet underground subway would be appropriate but not the best. Also, if you had a lake setting then that would allow all sorts of horrifying opportunities...


in addition to a scary setting, for a good horror movie to really scare the audience should have some element of truth in it, and not just monsters or evil spirits. Add a little possibility in the story, make the audience think that the story could be possible in real life. try hold the audience in suspense as much as possible don't always use the element of suprise. and to top it all off to make the horror even more horrible, put the most innocent being in the center of it all, such as a little girl no more than 7 years old.

Respond to a prediction

1. In 2155, we'll have no more printed books.

No, I think I'll have to disagree on that prediction because I don't believe books can completely disappear from existence, although our use and dependence of computers and electronics will increase in general. I'm quite sure there will be at least some form of a paper printed books. And even If all books did completely vanish from mankind, I wouldn't assume it to happen so early as the year 2155. Nevertheless if this prediction was true, life would be drastically changed without a doubt. We would grow to use electronics more and more, our addiction to it would increase more than we have now, they would become a common part to the daily lives of people of all ages. The use of technology would reach to the breaking point were our lives depended on it, our lives would even be based upon it. and if this were to actually happen, it would seriously affect us negatively. It would physically and phsycologically damage the healthy minds of all people, the social standards of towns and neighborhoods would decrease all over the earth and as unbelievable as it seems, eventually, the world would become isolated from itself.

character

the book I am reading is "The Lord of Chaos" by Robert Jordan, and so far my favorite character is Matrim Cauthon, bsically I just liked his personality, He is never really serious about things, a troublemaker, a bad gambler, and a joker. He is also ceverly witty, and uses his talent to flirt with the girls, and used to getting what he wants, but isn't spoiled. He is literally cursed with the random memories of men long gone from the world, although this gave him the abiltiy to have skills of other men, not all those memories were good ones. Now this all together make Matrim an extremerly interesting character, that's why I chose him.
