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!!!

The Tommyknockers is the Strangest Novel Written by Stephen King

The Tommyknockers is probably the weirdest horror novel Stephen King has ever written. I read this novel years ago when I was in high school, and I was left thinking...

What the hell did I just read?

The Tommyknockers is about an entire town that gets taken over by aliens, and everyone slowly loses their minds, giving in to the insanity of the aliens. In my opinion, I got a little annoyed with this premise. I felt that the town could have been a little crazier. It came off a bit comedic, and I was so confused with how I was supposed to feel when it came to this story. 

I think the only scary part is when a character finds two people and a dog getting probed by the aliens. At least, I think that's what happened in this scene, because it was pretty disturbing. 

I'm surprised I even own this novel. I might consider giving the novel a read again, to see if my opinion will change on this bizarre story. 

I'm not kidding when I say this story is so over the top.




Thanks for reading!
