Movie Tropes I'm tired of in...

This is one of my favorite genre's,  mostly because I'm a bad movie enthusiast and Horror sure has plenty to pick from when it comes to the best of the worst. My love for these flicks also coincides with my cowardice. When I was a child I was CONVINCED that Michael Meyers wanted me to be his next victim and it would only be a matter of time until he drove a deep knife into my body and looked at me with his black eyes (the devils eyes) as I died. But you better believe I seen every 'Halloween' movie multiple times. And I'm not ashamed to say that as a 26 year old grown up I still run from the bathroom to the bedroom in the middle of the night with sheer terror.  With a range so wide, from slasher to Possessions, it's funny how most films revolt to the same formula time and time again.
*movie references 


1.Lack of Diversity
Horror usually showcases a white girl and her friend/s and boyfriend or a middle class white family. We get a brief peak into their lives before the shit starts hitting the fan. 
*The Unborn/*Insidious

2. They don't believe the experts, EVER
Supernatural occurrence  happens. It can be ghosts, or a haunting, even an old fashioned possession, The protagonist meets some sort of expert on the matter and doesn't immediately believe them. Its been confirmed that some otherworldly things are going on but all of a sudden the person with all the answers isn't credible or is "crazy".
*Jeepers Creepers

3.New House = Haunted House
yup
*A Haunting in Connecticut 

4.Children not being afraid
Maybe I was just jaded as a kid but if my TV started speaking to me or if I heard voices coming from my closet at night I would have been afraid and certainly wouldn't have been eager to be friends.
* Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark 

5. When you never see the killer run but they always catch up to their SPRINTING victim (Michael Meyers I'm looking at you)
*Halloween

6. Assuming the killer is dead because they are motionless
So this person was seconds away from killing you and you knock them down the steps... and you're just gonna leave without blowing their brains out or bashing their heads in! Have you NEVER heard of a double tap?
*Scream 2

7.The black guy dies. 
Too obvious? You can ALWAYS count on the whore, the asshole, and the black guy to get killed.
*Texas Chainsaw 

8.*noise* HELLO?
Hello there ma'am, I'm here to murder you !
*The Evil Dead

9.Nothing happens UNTIL someone turns a camera on
(found footage films) Like the ghosts KNOW they're being filmed. I mean before they just wanted to be creepy and silent, watching people walk around naked and stuff but soon as people buy a camera they want to start effing things up!
*Paranormal Activity

10. Jump Scares
Gone are authentic thrills and chills. Now we get total silence and tense moments followed by... a bird hitting the window, a family member being revealed in the bathroom mirror, someones cell phone buzzing. 
*The Gallows

11.Implausible killers for the sake of a twist
The big reveal was jaw dropping but it literally makes no sense that this person is the killer.
*The Orphan, The Boy

12. Walking around a dark House
Again, their is ALREADY some creepy stuff and/or murders happening and you're walking all the way downstairs, to check out a noise, IN PITCH BLACK DARKNESS? OK. You might as well have a KILL ME written on the back of your bathrobe
*Sinister
