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!!!

Traveling into a Cave is the Perfect Horror Nightmare

Caves are a great expedition for any cave dwellers out there. Traveling inside of a rock formation must be one of the best experiences to have, it is like you are heading to another world. Despite how exciting this must be for everyone interested in this activity, I think it is absolutely terrifying. 

Caves scare me. Every time I look at images of a cave, I imagine getting lost inside of that other world, never finding the way out. Or worse, getting stuck somewhere and waiting to see if rescue will ever arrive. I think my worst fear is knowing that I'm in the dark, stuck inside of a place I am not familiar with. 

To be honest with you all, even though I can't stand caves, I think caves are excellent in the horror genre. I have seen so many horror movies or played video games with traveling inside of a cave moments. The ideas are endless of where the story can take you within a cave system. 

There have been so many amazing concepts of monsters lurking in the caves, waiting for their prey to arrive. The monster designs have been both eerie and beautiful in a sick way. I love that the caves are the only environment they can stay in, because it is how they hide, and is the perfect hunting ground. 

So, if you ever think about traveling to a cave, picture a monster deep inside of that cave. It is possibly waiting for you, their intentions unknown. That is why I love caves. 

The horror of what is inside is what stays with me, and it makes me happy to be a part of the horror fanbase!
