1.Describe

1. Describe

Choose ONE convention across at least TWO movies. Describe how this convention is used in this film. Use specific examples (textual evidence: techniques, details) and refer to your notes as necessary.
The convention of masked stalker is used in both of Halloween, directed by John Carpenter and Scream, directed by Wes Craven. Masked stalker is used as killer who raise most of the our tensions. Masked stalker adds more scarism when they stand alone at the back of the people and staring at them without any sound. The masks help to show more psychological characteristics of killer as well. The masked stalkers are very mysterious too since we dont know the real faces of killer and it makes me to feel more curious about the movie. In the movie  Halloween, the masked stalker was  Michael Myers who is a pure and evil murdered his sister at a young age. In the movie Scream, there were two masked stalkers who are Billy and Stew. They are all close people known with the main character (Sydney) and these masked talkers tried to kill. The actual fact in the end of the movie which is the killers were Billy and Stew helps to add drastic and psychological ending.
