Horror Cliches

Cliches are the life blood of the Horror genre. Without the body in the cupboard or the blonde bimbo who finds the body it simply isnt a traditional horror. Various other clichés include the almost deserving first death. The first person who dies usually is quite mean or obnoxious towards the two nicer antagonists, and the audience therefore feels a little glad that they died. Other cliché's include the fact that if it is a teen horror movie, two of the teens will find the time to "start a beautiful friendship". Then a monster/killer/crazy scientist then comes along and ruins a wonderful moment.
