Characters:
In the horror genre the main protagonists is normally an innocent girl, the storyline tends to follow the girl around and she is normally the last alive. Other characters such as the male figure and the villain are featured and followed through out the film. The villain is seen as being the opposition to the main girl in most horror films. The male figure is seen as the one who is supposed to fight or protect the female. These characters are very important convention of horror films. other characters you find in horrors are non believers, hysterical character normally a girl, and some times a loved up couple.
Age:
Age is also another thing that helps each of the protagonists be represented in different ways, the innocent girl tends to be an older teenager or a young 20 year old. the 'hero' or male figure tends to be again about 20 years old and the villain can vary depending on the film it could be a young child like in Halloween or an adult like in scream.
