Most great horror movies derive quality from the strength of their moody atmospheres. Without an impactful setting, horror often loses its X factor – you need a location and a vibe that will terrify viewers to their core. Even the most hilarious horror comedy movies have a certain mood about them that distinctly places them within the horror genre, even as they provide audiences with reasons to laugh. Even horror films that aren’t atmospheric carry a sense of identity in their visual grammar, from preferred camera angles to the construction of sets.
