It looks as though there’s going to be gun fights in the old western days, during the winter time with harsh snow. There are eight important characters who are all gun totting and cynical from the way their walking. Each with their own story to tell and add to the main plot.

Further, the author asserts that Scream and its sequels have revolutionized the traditional form of the slasher and that they deserve credit for updating several key conventions.

Street corners are another aspect that can be analyzed to observe the changes in this city. The street corner that will be explored

80's] American cinematic horror . . . in which female figures and/or gender issues loom especially large: slasher films, occult or possession films, and rape-revenge films" (5).
