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!!!

What the Hell is Fridge Horror?

I never thought there was a horror genre known as ‘fridge horror.’ I learned about this new horror term while I was watching a YouTube video based on several horror games. Apparently, this kind of horror is pretty terrifying. 

Fridge horror is based on a simple detail, that carries disturbing undertones for the horror fan to figure out later. 

It’s a scary fact that horror fans learn of the real meaning behind their favorite horror stories. 

Still confused?

Don’t worry.

We’re just getting started. 

Just kidding, I’m going to try my best to explain lol :D

One good example to use here to understand the concept of fridge horror is the recent horror game that was released this year, Still Wakes the Deep. 

It’s considered one of the best horror masterpieces, due to the incredible voice acting and insanity of what evil takes place on an oil rig in Scotland. 

What a terrible location for a horrible situation to occur. 

Genius. 

The story follows a man named Caz, who is well acquainted with his co — workers and the godfather of his children, Roy. It’s like any other normal day on the oil rig for the workers, until disaster strikes. 

An actual monster emerges out of the sea and attaches itself to the oil rig, infecting and killing all of the crew members. 

What a fantastic premise, huh?

This creature proceeds to turn crew members into actual monsters, going after other oil rig workers who are still human. 

This is where fridge horror comes into play!

During the beginning of the game, the player is introduced to the crew of Caz. They are people who each have their own story, who are here to work on the oil rig for different reasons. 

Imagine these men turning into literal monsters, only to realize that they are still clinging to their humanity. They are even speaking out loud, talking about hints of their human lives while stuck in their new bodies. 

This is a detail that will not leave your head, only for you to realize that the fate of these men was much darker than you thought. 

This is fridge horror. 

This is the kind of horror that will scare the crap out of you, because after you find out the dark truth behind a horror story, it will never leave your head!

Now isn’t that scary?

Not gonna lie, fridge horror kind of sucks. This is probably the most terrifying horror genre by far!
