I Can't Stand the Horror Trope of Slashers that Can 'Teleport'

  Credit to  Teleportation Vector Images | Depositphotos There is one horror trope that always bothers me when it comes to several horror movies.  How the hell can a slasher be in two places at once? What I mean by that is…why do horror directors sometimes ignore how a human can move? I’ve seen several horror movies that were really great, but were ruined by a killer who was able to teleport.  That doesn’t make any sense.  Unless time travel is involved, then go for it, but a human killer can’t teleport! Where does this sudden supernatural ability come from? It’s just so…stupid. So, like, does the mask or the outfit give the killer powers or what? This is a random side rant, but I felt the need to talk about this. I recently remembered a horror movie where the killer was able to be at two places at once, while he was going after two people.  Like he somehow was able to travel across the entire city in seconds to catch up to the other victim. How??? Not even science can explain this!!!

I’m Writing a Horror Story on YouTube

 


I’m conducting an experiment on YouTube. I have mentioned this in the past, but I’ve working on a different sort of experiment now. I’m writing my own series through YouTube. A horror series. It has been a very fun experience for me. I am a huge horror fan, so I always wanted to do something like this through a social media platform.

I’m doing a slow burn sort of story, a very ambiguous tale with a cast of mystery characters you actually never see. The main character is the one who talks about everything that is occurring, and the audience listens to dialogue and looks at pictures that are revealed one by one.

I would have used Twitter to write my story, but I sort of feel that Twitter can be a very toxic environment. That is why I like to use Medium mostly to convey my information to the world, since this platform has a very positive social environment.

I’m actually curious to see if people will enjoy the series on YouTube. I do have one goal in mind with achieving three million views on YouTube, so I’m curious if the horror series will give me a bit of a boost. Any extra income will make me happy, especially if it’s coming from a horror form of media I adore.

I’m also writing this series to practice my horror writing style with short stories. I know I still need a little more work to become better with my stories. I need to work on my scares, the build — up to the horror moments, and how to build my characters in such a scary situation.

It's a very fun experiment, and I can't wait to see what comes next with the process!
