Genre Research: Horror & Thriller

 

I researched these two genres because I think my pitch has potential to be either of of these. My pitch for thriller would probably include a mysterious twist leaving the audience in suspense. For example, The  wife could go to work in the morning and come back late at night. On her drive back home late at night she would see a shadow following her.  Then she notices the shadow and the faster she goes the fast the shadow the goes.Because she driving so fast she loses control of the car and ends up driving off the road. The cops call her spouse and finds out that she died. The audience wont know what was said between the spouse and the cops. They'll have to assume which leaves the audience on a cliff hanger. For the horror genre, my idea will obviously be a bit different. This idea will include a bloody and a tad bit of gruesomeness. The spouse will go off to work. When it gets dark things start getting dangerous. The wife will walk to the kitchen and have a weird encounter with a strange, almost shadow, but it looks so real. She goes toward the shadow. The "shadow" ends up eating her alive and all the audience can see is the shadows of them and blood being splashed on the wall. The wife screams for her life. Her spouse comes home. They find a trail of blood toward the kitchen. There they found their wife lying dead on the floor.
