Hello, all, i am in the process of creating a horror/thriller movie, but i am having trouble; i have the idea in my head of how to make it scary, but their aren't any scenes that go with my idea. So i would like your suggestions of how to make a character scary, so here is the set up -

A man is in hospital, suffering with amnesia. while there in a half asleep state, someone enters the rooms and tells him he can either be his worst nightmare or, he can sit down and work something out, then he says he will give him some time and leaves.

The man is escorted home by police (as he does not know where he lives). Now the character, starts to creep into the story, but here is where i need help - for a bit of the movie he will be playing mind games with the man - so i would like some ideas of mind games that can be done in the movies to make this character scary.

Nothing supernatural please; this is not a supernatural movie.

Thx.

idea you've got there.
Some camera angles that give everything more dramatic effect might help. Also which video editor are you using?

Unfortunately i only have the basics (Windows movie maker and the movies in game editor), however i may ask someone else to edit it when i am done.

I see. I know it's expensive btu Sony Vegas is really worth it!

You could always turn on the mannequins (extras) to add more possibilities as to where to put your characters (I think there is an option to have them peer inside the window of a house). You could do some editing tricks where you make a scene where the man is present, then duplicate the scene but remove the man, then edit it in Post Production and have him flash in and out possibly? Or do the same thing, but with the lighting? Like a light flicker or have the power go out?
