Setting the Atmosphere

A major part in the horor genre along with the killer is the enviroment it is almost one with the killer and it usually helps reflect some aspects of the killers persona.

With this in mind it is important to take in consideration with the killer i have in mind what enviroment plays to his strengths and most importantly helps him grow as a character. Where he hunts and kills is his domain, so thinking about that i wanted something that would fit a traditional slasher flick setting out in the moods but switch it up with elements people would not expect to see.

The main setting for the killer his home as such would be a lumber/saw mill for 2 reasons isolated setting and a place with plenty of tools to work with. Anouther bonus to this is it gives the area depth to explore and will be visually interesting and will give off a creepy atmosphere with the saw blandes and power tools.

This is just a brief overview of the setting but it is enough to give you an idea what is being aimed for.
