Creating Characters



The Character will be seen with a machete with blood dripping from it. The audience will decode this, informing them that this character is the antagonist.

These sorts of characters are successful due to their ruthless natures and only desire to inflict pain. They are also successful in the sense that they are never really defeated. They could even be considered as being invincible. It even hooks the audience in due to various connotations with other antagonists such as Freddy Kreuger and Jason Voorhees due to their reputation as sick and twisted serial killers.

These characters were constructed through their beaten and neglected past, and therefore decide to take revenge on humanity, because of their pasts, they become serial killers because they feel like they have nothing to lose. Their pasts also give them the reasons to become the menacing villains they are.
