Symbols in films
The symbol left on the victims body in the opening is vital to the story-line of the film as it is what links the murders of Star Cross to the earlier murders of Trevor Emanuel . I have seen many horror films involving certain symbols/signs so I have looked up their meanings to help create Trevor's "Slaughtergraph".
Halloween VI (Slasher)- In Halloween IV the camera reveals a tattoo on Michael Myers wrist. This is the symbol of thorn (Thurizas) which is a third rune. This holds the meaning "Gateway,with thorn's of resistance".Thorn is relevant to Michael Myers character as it is a rune of challenging, testing as well as protection and defense. Thorn is also seen as a tribal curse which is inflicted on Michael .
There is an old poem to go with this rune which again show Michael s impact on the curse.Thorn can be seen as good and evil.
Poem "If urgency tells me to tie the opponent with magic , then I dullen the steel of my foes so that their swords will not cut anymore.
In the Latin alphabet the surviving thorn rune looks like a "P" with a neck-splint.
Silent Hill (Horror /mystery)- The symbol in silent hill is very important to the story line as the film was made after the game. The symbol appeared in the game frequently and in the film. This symbol is the Halo of the sun and is the main symbol of the order , the religious group behind the strange goings on in silent hill.
The letters around the outside are mainly the Hungarian alphabet but again holds different runes with different meanings and fortunes. For example the symbol includes the rune "Wynn" which is meant to bring joy and relief. This symbol holds many significant symbols and references to families in the game so I mapped it out in the image above.

Sinister (Horror/mystery/thriller) -Throughout the film sinister a there is a symbol which appears on the attic films and in the house. The symbol is the Pagan symbol of the Bagul. Also known as Mr boogie and the evil-doer. He is the Babylonian god of darkness , collects and consumes the souls of children. Unlike the other symbols with different runes and meanings , this one connects the villain with his occupation , which is less of a puzzle.
