This website is very relevant to my study as it contains information about all the films that I will be looking at. It also gives an overview of how the genre has progressed from the 70s and details a lot of the conventions that are typically seen within 80s horror. Each film is talked about in detail with a relationship made between the conventions used and the release date. This will greatly aid my research into the genre.

Imdb is a very useful source for film details such as Box office takings, estimated budget and reviews. This is relevant to my research as I can gauge how the film was received. It also shows how many awards the film won, if any, which is another indication of critical reception. The website provides trailers and promotional images for the film, demonstrating conventions of the film’s portrayal. Details of the storyline are also given which shows some of the narrative conventions.
