Horror Cliches

Sometimes stars the blonde pretty girl who is first to die, lonely situations where the car happens to break down in a dark open place where no one is arround often ending with them being drawn to a mysterious house. Scary locations woods, houses dark places etc. Tence moments, climax and anti climax and children tend to be evil. 

Romance Cliches

The genre Romance tends to have a happy ending, there are normally love rivals and by this there are normally confrontations thats ends up with the obvious choice. Will the wont they moments that create a tension build leaving you in suspence. Dramatic ironie, knowing he is the worng person and able to see why, a pushy mother and subordinate father. Mr right initially finds her annoying but this soon changes as he falls for her charm. A faithfull yet often hopeless side kick tending to be a loyal friend that although a loyal often useless help. Montage, a collection of clips with music over the top often used as you see the the personalitys of the charachters.
