Often what fascinates people about the horror genre is its tool of subversion. Horror films tap into the fear of the unknown by constructing mysteries around their appalling truths. Twist reveals are nothing new in movies, but when the entire twist revolves around whom the villain really is, that can change everything about a movie.

From slashers to haunted houses, the ’80s were a thrilling time....

Fügt man zu diesem Bild noch die Tatsache hinzu, dass Instagram’s neue Shoppable-Foto-Funktion zur Verfügung steht, wird deutlich, dass die Plattform in den kommenden Jahren die Social-Marketing-Landschaft dominieren wird. Mit all dieser Aufmerksamkeit für Instagram for Business kommt es jedoch zu einem Nachteil.
