Violin screech
Creepy little girl
Research history in library
Running in a house
When every new horror movie uses these, it's hard to respect the genre.

- AstralStorm 8y ago1. Sparingly. 2. No, it's outdated. 3. Not unless you're making another Ring. This is bad and you should feel bad as an author. 4. It is a common framing device, also used in fantasy. 5. The better horrors take place in a bigger area than just a house. They may have some related scenes like that. Most importantly, this tells more about the kind of horror movies you're watching. Common creepy stuff like darkness, contrast and claustrophobia are obviously used. They are generally scary.
- gitgud 8y agoI enjoy horror movies, but I think it's probably the hardest genre to make a good original movie, without using predictable cliche's. Just curious, what horror movies would you recommend?
