A third convention is a ghost which scares the audience and it takes them of their seat and it is very unexpected for them.  a setting is another convention that can be set on a farm,isolated places,dark woods and creepy settings so it can be set in may different locations. jump scares is another convention this is pretty much someone coming out of nowhere and it is an unexpected for the audience. music is another convention it is very scary for some people and the intensity of the music increases and decreases thought the film. zombies is another convention they come out the blew in most films when you dont expect it and try and scare you and the audience the audience can see the zombies in the film but they cant see a ghost so that is the different between the two. possessed kids is another convention they are normally evil minded and very vicious in most horror films and the audience really wouldn't like them and they would think they are trouble and no good and they are normally on the bad sad of the audiences point of view. teenagers are shown they are are very irresponsible in most horror films the gives the audience members a bad reputation about them and they think they are trouble and they are always up to something.
