Top 10 Horror Movie Cliches

Horror movies always have people, specificly young adults, getting it on. Blonde whore always get axed, and brunette always survive.

If you think promiscious blondes have it bad, than non-white character is even more likely to meet their bloody end before the credits roll. For example: (The Shining, Scream, I still know what you did last Summer, etc.)

Now let's take look not at who dies, but how they die. Firstly, by trying to hide like a children, specifically under the bed, in the closet or by running up the stairs. We get it, they're scare, but the game Hide and Seek it's not likely way to survive dead killers, now is it?

It seems that no movie character is capable of more than 5 seconds, without face-planting. Equally cliche is the fact, that sprint doesn't give them any distance over the attacker, who's almost always walking.

Almost every slasher have knives as weapon. And people, who are protecting themselves too. Why doesn't anyone own gun? Well, exception for this cliche is police. But that never does them any favors either, as police tried to shoot Michael Myers, which hasn't died + he stabbed him.

This cliche's been established for so long, that we don't even ask ourselves, why people don't run to the police anymore. We expected anyone with the badge may as well have target on their backs, as the killer likes to take them out with extreme gradient.

To keep up the tension, the face scares are sprinkle in, to keep us guessin' , and when's nearly end, to keep us paying attention. Just think of how many times characters bumped into each other and scares each others, as they were those killers. It's pretty much cliche now.

The only horror films that take place in open environments or at the mall have zombies. The reason for isolated and creepy locations is simple: it allows the story to cut the victims off from society. And we don't see them leaving anytime soon.

If there's one thing, that we wouldn't do, if we were stalked by dangerous, deadly psychopath, it would be split up. Why make it easier to get off one by one?

All horror villains have to come back again, after being killed. Moreover, they always somehow survive, leaving the door open for possible sequel. We get it. They want viewers to relax, before cracking the terror dial to eleven. And that's not satisfying ending, unless the bad guy goes down hard. And it's gone so bad, we can't even take most killer seriously anymore.
