Practical Investigation of Graphic Sounds

I tried making squelching sounds, as mentioned in the previous post, and did this by moving mushy food: This can be used when the killer is trying to take out the foetus because it will make the scene more realistic. Also, like many slasher films, it will make the death scene nauseating because operations usually make people feel that way.

Next, I tried making a knife slashing sound and did this by simply taking the knife out of the knife holder:
The knife sound will be used in our opening when the killer has just picked up the knife, ready to cut open the victim. This will frighten the audience as it will tell them that the killer is about to hurt the victim in an abhorrent way.

When the knife it cutting the victim, the killer could do it in a harsh and heartless way, to emphasize his impulsive need for women and their foetuses.

In our opening, we could include the sound of bones breaking, for example before she is falling into unconsciousness, there could be the off-screen sound of bones breaking, then her eyes could close. This will terrify and sicken the audience and make the victim seem more vulnerable and the killer more powerful.

When the killer has cut open the victim, there can be on-screen squelching noises and then the sound of blood trickling out of the body. As in Haunting In Connecticut's opening, there is the diegetic on-screen sound of blood trickling out of a tube which the killer has attached to the victim's wound. We will have the sound of blood dripping in our opening to go alongside the victim's wound and to display the slasher convention of having a lot of gore.

Overall, in our opening, we will include knife slashing noises to tell the audience that the killer has just cut open the victim, then there will be squelching noises to show that he is trying to take out the foetus. These noises will make the audience feel queasy which is the aim with slasher films.
