Sound/Music
Non-diegetic sound is sound that cannot be seen or thought by a character, for example like a door creaking or foot steps off screen. Diegetic sound is sound that can be seen for example talking. Often contrapuntal sound is used in psychological horror as it matches with the aim and the theme of the film; to mess with the minds of the audience watching. Contrapuntal sound is music or sound that does not match with the action on screen (e.g. happy music during a horror scene).
Music used in psychological films tends to be instrumental or classical music as it gives off an eerie atmosphere which fits with the genre of the film
