//**Red color & Blood**//

In horror movies, such as the movie called Carrie, the color red or the blood is used as a signal of danger. In the movie, whenever the main character Carrie is about to encounter a dangerous situation, a red color is used in the background ( red lamps, walls, and etc). For example, in the middle of the movie, Carrie reacts violently to her own blood before she faces dangerious events. Also, later one, she leaves the red lamp in the scene, covering the whole place with red lights.

The red color can also symbollize the love and warmth. In the movie Fanny and Alexander, when the family meets up and have dinner together, the props in the movie such as the actors's clothes, table cloth, and the candles are all red.
