Which films make up Suspect #3
The full file on Suspect #3, "The late show". Twelve parts, twelve films, the inspector's note on each.

The twelve parts
01
White hockey mask
Friday the 13th (1980)
The mask arrives two sequels late and outlives the entire franchise. Pedants, we know.
02
Black cape, red lining
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
The collar does the acting. Coppola knew exactly what he was buying.
03
Black crow on the shoulder
The Birds (1963)
One bird is a bird. Two hundred is a Hitchcock film.
04
Red and green striped sweater
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Craven picked the two colours the human eye finds hardest to look at together. On purpose.
05
Canvas straitjacket sleeve
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Sixteen minutes of screen time. Every one of them buckled shut.
06
Black and white striped sleeve
Beetlejuice (1988)
Vertical stripes on a man who is horizontal about everything else.
07
Claw hammer in a tool belt
Oldboy (2003)
Park Chan-wook made a hardware-store item into a genre. Nobody has taken it back.
08
Rusty chainsaw
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Hooper shot it so cheaply it looks found. That is the whole horror.
09
Scissor blades for fingers
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
The one part in this line-up that never hurt anybody on purpose.
10
Pale blue mechanic coveralls
Halloween (1978)
Coveralls, because the budget could not afford a costume. Fear does not need one.
11
Bare oversized hairy feet
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
The only cheerful thing in the room, and it walked here from the Shire.
12
Small red tricycle
The Shining (1980)
The sound design does the work: carpet, floorboard, carpet, floorboard.
