Horror Tropes

Common Tropes:
Jump scares
The person that always falls down when being chased
Moving into a new house = Always haunted
The creepy little girl in a white dress
If you have sex in a horror movie you die
Basements, cellars, and attics are always bad news

    That is true. In every horror movie, you should never have sex because obviously, you will be an easy target. It is like an distraction and whoever is the killer will not hesitate to go for the kill.
