Well,pretty much how you said it. In horror,cliches tend to be there. Some enjoyable,like Friday The 13th,Nightmare On Elm Street series. Sure,they're cliche,but they know they are,and they enjoy it,make it work. On the other hand,stuff like prom night,and a good chunk of the other horror movies that have come out over the years,are too cliche. It's like they try too hard to be cliche. Usually,it all comes down to how the characters are developed and how it's written. And by all cliches rolled into one,I mean,usually the way story pans out,and how the characters are.
