Pro's and Con's of Horror

The Pro's:
- Less dialogue, therefore acting does not have to be amazing
- Enigma codes raised early on
- No special effects needed, therefore works well for no or little budget
- Middle class area, meaning houses that could be used for the location

The Con's:
- Can easily look tacky and cheap
- Hard to come up with original story lines and ideas: everything's been done before!

- Difficult to make people genuinely scared and frightened
- The correct lighting effect is hard to create

Despite all of the con's, I am still certain I want to go down the horror route.  I am super excited to get started with this now!
