Common Beliefs in Horror Movies

Let’s be honest, no matter where a horror movie is made India, Japan, America, Korea there are some things that never change. It’s like ghosts have a secret horror movie rulebook. Let me break it down for you:

1. Juicy Blood Obsession
Why do ghosts love drinking human blood like it’s sarbath? I mean, seriously did any ghost go to a director and say, “Please, I prefer blood over biriyani”? There’s so much good food in the world, pasta, maggie, idli with sambar but no, it’s always raw, dripping blood. Is this a horror diet plan?

2. Hair Goals (Unfair!)
Have you noticed? Ghosts always have loooong, open hair. They never tie it up, never clip it, and yet no split ends, no hair fall. I oil my hair, wash it twice a week, and still fight with my comb daily. But ghosts? No shampoo, no conditioner, and their hair still grows like a dream. What’s your secret, dear ghost?

3. Darkness Is Their BFF
Ghosts seem to have a permanent night shift. Midnight, especially around midnight, is their peak working hour. Why not appear in the afternoon? Or casually show up at 8 AM during breakfast time?

4. White Dress Code Only
Why are ghosts always in white? It’s like there was a sale at a ghosty showroom “Only white dress available!” Why not wear purple, green, or even neon? Give us some fashion variety, at least. I’m tired of white being the official ghost uniform.

Ghosts might be scary, but horror movie ghosts? They’re also fashion icons, night owls, and apparently, picky eaters. Still, we love them because without these classic tropes, horror movies just wouldn’t be the same!
