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!!!

Nicholas Cage is Truly a Masterpiece in the Horror Genre

One of the few actors I never imagined would become part of the horror genre is the wonderful Nicholas Cage. I can't believe that we horror fans have been blessed with such a fantastic actor. 

I have been a fan of Cage in his past movies, but I never thought that he would ever do a sudden switch to a brand-new genre! Cage truly has performed the best roles for us horror fans!

  • Red (Mandy)
  • Dracula (Renfield)
  • Paul Matthews (Dream Scenario)
  • Nathan Gardener (Color Out of Space)
  • Mystery Character (Longlegs)
  • The Janitor (Willy's Wonderland)
I think it's incredible how much range Cage has as an actor for the horror universe. He can play a vampire, a father determined to protect his family, a man who wants to take vengeance for the love of his life that was lost, a janitor who never speaks, and a normal dude who happens to appear in everyone's dreams. 

(Sorry I haven't mentioned some of his other horror movies. I haven't seen them, so I have no idea what kind of character he plays. I decided to mention his mystery role from Longlegs, because I never knew about his involvement in this film, and I can't wait to see what character he will present to his horror fans next)!

Nicholas Cage is a master class in acting, and I'm so happy to have an Oscar winner join the ranks of the horror genre!

Thank you Cage, for bringing us amazing characters we horror fans will forever cherish and remember!
