Top Horror Movie Cliches

Jamie Lee Curtis survived in Halloween because she was a virgin

So, sex is a death sentence in this sense? - BorisRule

You know your gonna die if you do it, so why do it?

NUDITY should never = death

Don't people in horror movies know anything about horror movies? - ishaantiwari

Stay together, don't split.

Its like scooby doo

NO.

Michael Myers in a nutshell.

In jeepers creepers to the black gym teacher was technically the first to die. It's racist

No its not, it's a horror movie, people die. Nobody complains when a woman dies and says sexist. Hell movies have to have the black character die by sacrificing himself so nobody pulls the race card. Its just ignorant - RustyNail

Spoiler Alert. Finally,
There is a black character in Jeepers Creepers 2 that actually survives!

THAT'S RACIST!

I hate this

Oh, he's running, I'll just wait till he trips over that nothing

Classic, what horror movie could be with out its ungraceful and uncoordinated victims?

Seriously, what kind of person would have two left feet? - DapperPickle

*cough* the Scream movies *cough*. - DynastiSugarPop

Ah, the Lewton Bus! Actually pretty clever and scary... for the 1950s. Come on guys. In 2014, this is a cliche mocking a cliche.

Oh yeah.

How about this, after you knock out a killer, kick him in the head, punch him, do something!

Not even that scary true horror movies can make you get chills just with a creepy vibe. - diehardfan

The most overused cliche in history that still gets us most of the time

It’s 2014, get something new for once

That's in a lot of the horror movies, do something new directors.

So true, Cujo, the killer dog.

Ever heard of Cabin In The Woods? Perfect example of this.

No, the guns are annoying. Loads of movie cliches about them. Sometimes they never run out of bullets, sometimes everyone's such a bad shot that you're safe if they aim at you, and sometimes they point a gun at you but don't shoot. With knives, you don't get any of these cliches. Unless they point it at you without attacking. - PositronWildhawk

Possibly the biggest offender of this to a ridiculous number. - Swellow

Killers in movie don't have guns! - DynastiSugarPop

Police are just about as worthless as my ex-husband in most horror flicks. - mandi021174

You know your police department sucks when a group of average citizens stop the threat instead of them

A little bit gender equality please? - BorisRule

I don't care if it is apparently woman-hating if they weren't the survivors, its already man-hating so they are being so ironic. I don't mind that woman are survivors, but ALWAYS when they mess up they SOMEHOW still survive but if the men went through the same situation they will SOMEHOW always die.

"ohh a monster / serial killer is looking for me better hide somewhere obvious so he could kill me"

Yeah! Like that's gonna help! - ishaantiwari

Hide somewhere else! Or Go Outside, and run for your lives!

Yes like : DON'T DO IT OR I'LL SHOT!

In IT, the kids were actually really smart despite being called "The Loser's Club"

I hate this so much! It's annoying! To pay attention to detail, so it distracts me from the big picture...

It's always that one person who doesn't deserve to survives who survives. - Turkeyasylum

She usually has big boobs, perfect hair white teeth and its stupid

(Continent gets blown up)

Oh no that, it was just the wind - Protagonist - TwilightKitsune

Well actually...

In every zombie flick, the 11-year old girl becomes a zombie and eats her family. Yeah, we get it. If you always make the "undead preteen flesh-eater girl" why don't you make a movie where ALL the zombies are children!

There's a lot of horror movies I've seen the trailers for and the main characters for them are usually blond girls.

No you won't. You will be dead. - Ilovestephanie

Very true. We think it's them, but then it's always a plot twist.
