Movie murder weapons

Some famous killers and their weapons-
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- Leatherface used a chainsaw
Halloween- Michael Myers used a large kitchen knife
The Shining- Jack Torrance used an axe
I took photos of a few household items that could be used as weapons, as we're filming in an abandoned house they need to be items that could have been left behind in the house




The fire poker could be ideal as it is unique it also looks brutal however it is quite small, an axe could do more damage in getting through a door for example.
We have chosen to have the killer use an axe because axes represent masculinity (associated with lumberjacks) and strength, because you need to be strong to use an axe efficiently. It is a large weapon and this adds to the hulking figure of our killer, having his weapon large would emphasise his stature and overbearing power in the asylum.
