Published: Oct. 21, 2020, 7 p.m.

b'With Halloween just around the corner, it\'s the perfect time to talk about horror movies. This week, GamerDude talks about the various genres of horror movies, from the disturbing gore-fests and psycho killers, to the paranormal and psychological thrillers, to\\xa0the ever-popular monster movies.\\xa0 He explains why he doesn\'t watch the gore-fests like Saw and Hostel, why home-invasion movies bother him, and why he doesn\'t like psycho killers.\\xa0 He also talks about how he doesn\'t mind haunted house and other paranormal movies, like The Amityville Horror and Carrie, and how he grew up with the classic monster movies, like Frankenstain, Dracula, and The Night of the Living Dead.\\n\\nHe also talks about the overused horror movie tropes that are the backbone of so many scary movies. He explains how, far too often, a horror movie is an "idiot plot" movie - if everyone in the movie wasn\'t an idiot, there\'d be no plot. He talks about people going to the "abandoned place" even though they should know better.\\xa0 He talks about the "know-it-all" in every group, and how every group of survivors is inevitably split up. He discusses the jump scares that you always encounter in the kitchen and the bathroom. GamerDude also walks through the final sequence of far too many horror movies, from the shy girl being the last one alive, to the lost car keys, to the car that won\'t start, to the killer that won\'t die, to\\xa0that final jump scare at the end.'
