Horror films commonly involve isolated locations like woods, abandoned buildings, or basements where vulnerable characters are stalked or tortured by masked villains. Common conventions include the use of weapons, costumes meant to hide the villain's identity, unsettling music and sounds, and victims who are tortured or killed in graphic ways.
