Our main character in "Euphoria," is mentally unstable and keeps imagining a clown. Similarly in "Black Swan," the main character "Nina," takes on a role in a ballet, "Swan Lake," as the white swan, "Odette." As the movie goes on, the ballet consumes her mind and she becomes more like the black swan, "Odile." The black swan is meant to represent evil and the white swan, good. "Nina," portrayed by Natalie Portman, loses her mind as the movie goes on and starts to get wounds. This is similar to "Euphoria," because in our movie, the main character is sub-conciously murdering her close friends and family. It is more extreme in "Euphoria," but it is the same idea and is due to mental instability.
For our main character, we could find a similar movie character as it follows the horror film convention. With the murderer of the story, we are challenging the horror conventions. A clown would not be somebodies first choice for a murderer and a scary character. It would be more like the character for "Texas Chainsaw massacre." The clown works because of the situation it is in and the fact you would not expect it to be a scary character. There are some similarities you can see with any murderer in a horror film, for example, they both have no reason for the murders and use tools to make the death slow. This shows that the murder is a sign of someone who almost enjoying it and maybe has a mental illness. They also both are wearing formal clothing, although in different states, it makes the murder seem brutal and a spur of the moment. They are also both wearing a mask or something to hide to their face to the mystery.
