Iconic sounds associated with the Horror genre

Every genre ahs its iconic sounds. The genre we chose to do for our opening sequence (horror) includes sounds such as screams, blood flowing out of someones bode, bones being broken, thumping sounds on the floors, or even dead silence. Every single of these sounds evokes a certain type of emotion. Scream usually evokes the feeling that the character is helpless, weak and is scared. Blood dripping or bones cracking often evoke disgust, or sympathy. Dead silence on the other hand builds up tension and makes the audience expect the worse.
