This is a typical large knife seen in many horrors. The knife is sharp and demands some form of movement to stab or cut someone. Generally in horrors we can see this weapon being repeatedly used in brutal kills by the killer and due to the shiny surface the light reflects of the knife which makes it glisten. This adds tension as the audeince knows whats going to happen when the knife is pulled out. Most knifes are shown after the kill with great amounts of blood on to signify someone has been injuried.
The axe is a very large and chunky weapon which we would generally associate with more servere kills. Similar to the knife this weapon is very cliche as they are repeatedly seen in many different horror films. Again this weapon would have to be swung to injury someone so the horror can be empahsised further in the aggression the axe is swung.
The chainsaw has to be one of the most brutal weapons used in a horror production. Shown in films such as "Chainsaw Massacre" the chainsaw easily kills the toughest of victims. The sound of the chainsaw is a important part when included in a horror, especially when shown in the way in which the speed and sound gradually builds. Similar to the music used in horrors, which in affect adds tension as we know something bad is going to occur.
