Horror movies utilize various techniques such as sound, music, visual effects, prosthetics, makeup, and camera work to create tension and scare audiences. Specific examples include animatronics for creating scary creatures, prosthetics and makeup for terrifying characters, clever camera work for building tension, sound effects for adding atmosphere, and meticulous set design to enhance the overall horror experience.

In the 2019 remake of Child's Play, the decision was made to use animatronics for Chucky instead of full CGI to maintain the essence of a possessed child's doll. Masters FX crafted seven animatronic dolls with interchangeable parts, including a detailed aluminum skeleton covered in foam latex skin.
