I'm annoyed with the cat always jumping out. Lol. Sometimes it's like "how the hell did it get in there?!" As for the trends and cliches I like? Most of them. Lol. |

The dramatic opening that sets the movie into motion for example- The Prom Night opening, Terror Train opening, Burning opening ect Speaking of those films- the entire "X coming back for revenge or to avenge" plot is my favorite plot device of those films. |

As far as nudity goes, I don't think the peeping tom trope is nearly as prevalent now as it was in the 80s. |

One trope that was always painful is how inhumanly sadistic the "pranks" in them were. Terror Train and April Fool's Day being amongst the worst offenders |
      Puppy, just because there's no evidence she killed her aunt doesn't make her dating material. | |

I liked the '80s, as well as the '70s, for their cold openings. Setting up their main killers and all. The music wasn't always great, but when it was it rocked. The clothes are a little ridiculous, of course. I'm not a fan of seeing sunglasses all over horror movies of this time. |

Also, some montages work and some don't. Not just an '80s trend, I know, still... Random dancing scenes like the one in Freddy's Revenge don't work. Not for me. |
