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 Necklace

 

I stole a piece of jewelry, and now I am losing my skin.

I stole an expensive necklace from the people that were paying me to clean their house. The wife warned me to not ever touch the gold necklace that was passed on to her from her grandmother. 

I didn’t listen, and I paid the price when I decided to put it around my neck. My skin started to deteriorate. At first, I thought nothing of it, until large pieces of my skin started to fall off my arms.

There was no blood, it reminded me of a snake shedding its skin.

I panicked and ripped off the necklace. It was too late. I can practically see my own bones sticking out of my body now. I called the couple on the phone, and they quickly came back home. 

They saw the damage, causally analyzing my fallen skin. 

The wife looked at me, and said:

“My grandmother put a curse on that necklace years ago. Whoever touches it, will lose their skin forever. They will live as a skeleton for the rest of their lives.”

“Why?,” I asked as I could feel my entire scalp getting peeled off. 

The wife and her husband looked each other. 

“My grandmother thought it was a proper punishment for thieves. She always wanted to expose who they really are underneath. I thought she was joking until it happened to three of our maids.”


Thank you for reading!
