The costumes and make up in horror movies are extremely important as they add to the mise-en scene of the film which will help create a verisimilitude affect 

 

Red in horror: is one of the most prominent colours used in the horror genre. The color of our own blood is used to emphasize fear. It can also represent bottled-up rage and violence. 

 

 

Pink in horror: symbolizes femininity, youth, innocence, sweetness, immaturity, inexperience (especially sexual), empowerment, and female sexuality.
