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!!!

Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere Novel is a Dark Version of Alice in Wonderland

Credit to Ghost Cities

Neverwhere is a fantasy novel that was written by Neil Gaiman, an author that has been known for his stories with a wonderful combination of horror and fantasy. 

Neverwhere follows the story of Richard Mayhew, a man that leads a boring life in London. He works in an office, is engaged to a woman named Jessica that isn't exactly a charmer, and he doesn't have the guts to stand up for himself in such a tough world. 

Then life changes for Richard when he finds an injured young girl named Door. His decision to save her and bring her back to full health led to a huge, unexpected downfall of his character. He finds himself thrust into a whole new world, known as London Below; where danger and death lurk around every corner. 

He befriends Door, who leads him on a journey of self-discovery within himself, and to find a way back home to his normal life. 

This journey that Richard experiences is the perfect tale for horror fans. 

It's a supernatural horror story that shows gore, scary moments, psychological torture, and amazing horror imagery. 

The story also does not hold back when it comes to the characters. The group that Richard and Door travel with don't show any mercy and are ruthless when it comes to their honesty amongst themselves. 

Their banter is both hilarious and sad, as Richard learns how to interact with this group, while holding his own. Despite all the terrible events he experiences from his horrific adventure, Richard learns how to become a better version of himself. 

I won't spoil the ending for you all, but I strongly suggest you go look for a copy of Neverwhere!

It's an amazing read, that I'm sure all you horror fans will adore!




Thank you for reading!
