The Application of Colors and Psychological Suspense in Horror Films and Fictions
By Allen Keneth
The application of color is another way adopted by film makers to reach the goal of films. The most impressive one is the emergence of the red color in the air in the film “The Shining”. That scene is the insane hero is chasing his son to kill him. The red penetrates the door and fill the air gradually. It looks like the process of the blood dissolve in water. I can even smell the blood. This scene in the novel is described by a sentence “And the red death held sway over all”. We have to admit the strong visual stimulus in film makes the story more nervous and terrifying. Film proves its charm again.
Since the publication of “Carrie”, public began to notice Stephen King and then his works have become popular. His status in the world of horror fiction is difficult to shake:
“Stephen King’s writing is securely rooted in the great American tradition that glorifies spirit-of-place and the abiding power of narrative. He crafts stylish, mind-bending page-turners that contain profound moral truths-some beautiful, some harrowing-about our inner lives. This Award commemorates Mr. King’s well-earned place of distinction in the wide world of readers and book lovers of all ages.”
In 2003, King was honored by the National Book Awards with a lifetime achievement award. And the application of psychological suspense in his works is well performed. It is skillful to grasp the degree of psychological suspense to realize its greatest effect. When, how and what degree to use psychological suspense needs mature consideration. King is dedicated to giving his readers a luxuriant experience the basic pleasure of getting lost in a book.
In recent years, many terrified and surprised novels spring up to the book market and surprised films also enjoy an increasing number. And most of them use psychological suspense to attract people to stick on them till they turn to the last page. Suspense can be widely applied. Now we can find it in some TV programs especially in exploratory programs.
The effect of suspense stems from the curiosity of human. As human never lose their appetite to find what is next, our species can have progress continuously. We are willing to explore the unknown things because of curiosity. It is useful to apply the psychological suspense in novels and films after learning mentality of people. The wide application of psychological suspense implies that human pays more attention on their minds and knows more about themselves.
