Gothic Film Trailers



We have looked further into the Gothic style we would like to incorporate into our film opening. Although, most Gothic films have a mythological narrative and use characters, such as, werewolves and vampires, we intend to use a serial killer/psychopath murderer, instead of a supernatural villain.


Here are a few trailers we have looked at that use similar Mise en Scene features.


  • Low-key lighting
  • Melancholic, dreary music
  • Haunted houses/castles
  • The victims
  • The medieval period
  • Formal/Victorian costume
  • Pale make up
  • Lightening sound effects
  • Blood



The Sleepy Hollow (1999)




The Woman in Black (2012)





Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
