Conventions of werewolf/supernatural thrillers

Horror Films are designed to frighten and panic, cause dread and alarm, and to invoke our hidden worst fears, often in a terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a cathartic experience. Horror films effectively center on the dark side of life, the forbidden, and strange and alarming events. They deal with our most primal nature and its fears: our nightmares, our vulnerability, our alienation, our revulsions, our terror of the unknown, our fear of death and dismemberment, loss of identity, or fear of sexuality.Whatever dark, primitive, and revolting traits that simultaneously attract and repel us are featured in the horror genre. Horror films are often combined with science fiction when the menace or monster is related to a corruption of technology, or when Earth is threatened by aliens. The fantasy and supernatural film genres are not synonymous with the horror genre, although thriller films may have some relation when they focus on the revolting and horrible acts of the killer.My film is a supernatural/fantasy thriller; most werewolf film will contain a full moon accompanied by a howling wolf, heavy fog and dark weather, the change of the person into the werewolf with ripped clothing lots of hair, and evil eyes. I will be developing these conventions in my own film to appeal to my target audience as they will expect a full moon etc. For my film I will be also challenging these conventions; for example my werewolf will be a teenage boy which challenges he typical strong man image of how a beast should be.Below are some video examples of the werewolf/supernatural genre.
