Classic (Yet frustrating as hell) Horror Cliche's

These are few of many cliche's expressed in the HORROR Genre:


1. "The Trip Up"


Now excuse me if i say this, but it's just ironic that the victim who's being chased happens to incidentally trip or fall over a twig or pebble, i guess this is supposed to build up the tension, but in other words, it makes the audience want to throw a rock at the screen, 



2. "Clueless Parents"

Its typical that in a teen slasher or even any type of horror, we are introduced to the parents who show no sign of understanding or belief to the circumstances, "oh, you have hand marks and bruises on your back, silly you..."




3. I call this the "i'm willing to be killed" moment

In about 99% of horror's we will almost definitely witness the stupid act of a character openly asking "is anyone there?" literally asking to be killed, however in a realistic scenario, the person would probably hide in a closet, jump out the window, or most likely "tweet" for help.



4. "I've lost my friend so lets shout even louder to draw the killer's attention"

This is probably one of the most frustrating cliche's out there, you'd be a fool to draw even more attention to yourself whilst you are on your last lifeline. The first thing that should come to your thoughts is to use this chance to get the hell outta there!


5."The arise of the Killer"

This is when the hero finally kills the killer, and then waits around in relief like what's done is done, but to their astonishment, the killer miraculously arises to conclude with a fight, defeat, or chase scene.
