Stereotypes in a Horror Movie

1) Groups

In every horror, there is always a group of people who are trying to escape the horror part of the film e.g. running away from zombies. Generally a group in a horror, such as a zombie film, contains a person who is; dumb and doesn't have a clue whats going on, cocky and thinks he can take on the world, clever and knows how to make plans to survive, the innocent woman who sometimes is rock solid and other times just there to add some eye candy, and the survivor who leads the group although he would be better on his own.

2) The Dumb Guy

This person is normally a man who is clueless about whats going on until its too late. He is usually the first person who dies in a horror movie by doing something incredibly stupid like tripping over a tree root or getting separated from the group.

3) The Cocky One

Again like the dumb guy he is normally a man and one of the first to die by thinking he can take on hundreds of zombies by himself, although in most stories he is usually a nice man who tries to hold off the hoard on his own.

4) The Innocent Woman

In every horror film there is a good looking woman who sometimes is amazing at using a gun and could probably survive on her own, however in most horror movies she just screams hides at the back of the group. This normally means she is in it until the end.

5) The Survivor

This man is the alpha male of the group. He is the one who takes charge and can do pretty much anything. Usually he is a strong figure in the film and survives until the very end of the film with the woman. You would normally think that he would be better on his own.
