It’s also a great trope because it plays on good and bad in a very uncomfortable way. In many ways, this trope evolved from the real-life horror story of John Wayne “The Killer Clown” Gacy, one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. Evil clownįear of clowns is so common that there’s a word for it-coulrophobia. What is crazy about the jump scare is that it always seems to work, no matter how many times we’ve seen it. This is sort of the opposite of the music that warns you to get scared, and it’s also the biggest trope in all of horror movies-everyone’s tiptoeing through a haunted house trying not to make any noise when suddenly a very LOUD kitty-cat jumps out at them and makes everyone in the movie theater jump from their seats. Incorporate music as a way to subliminally suggest something is about to go wrong. Suddenly we hear the ominous opening chords of Beethoven’s 5th, and we already know that the store clerk is going to be a werewolf who decapitates them with his teeth. The trope goes like this: A young couple is walking at night and about to enter a store. We bet anything you’ve seen all of these tropes in at least one horror movie. We can’t tell you how to bake a cake, but I can show you the ingredients that fans love. These tropes are useful just for your own amusement or if you’re a writer, screenwriter, student, or creative looking for inspiration in writing a scary story or movie.
As any hardcore horror fan knows, these movies are filled with the same elements over and over again.
Horror movies follow specific formulas and have some widely known tropes.
