Horror Movie Tropes Made Funny

Poking fun at the clichés of horror films is a great way to create relatable and engaging memes. This scenario taps into the well-known group dynamics seen in horror movies, where characters make questionable choices in the face of danger.

Key Elements:

• Group of friends
• Classic horror movie threats
• Common phrases ('Let's split up!', 'Did you hear that?')

Context and Emotion:

The central emotion is a mixture of fear and exasperation. Viewers can relate to the ridiculousness of going into danger instead of making a smart choice, making the scenario both funny and recognizable.

Enhancing Humor:

Adding exaggerated expressions, like terror and indifference, brings more comedic value. Referencing internet culture, such as 'splitting up is always a bad idea' memes, can enhance the relatability.

Meme Format Suggestions:

• Distracted Boyfriend: Replace the boyfriend with the friend suggesting to investigate the sound, with the girlfriend representing the rest of the friends who are clearly against the idea.
• Drake Format: Use Drake's 'Not liking' to show the reaction to horror movie decisions and 'Liking' to show relatable, safer options.
• Mocking SpongeBob: Use SpongeBob’s mocking expression to humorously mimic the exasperated friend who always has the bad ideas.

Meme Visual Structure:

Visual elements should consist of:

• Foreground: One friend, exaggeratedly fearful or confused.
• Background: The indifferent friend on their phone, possibly with meme-related characters around depicting the struggle.
• Text Overlay: Captions showcasing the dialogue typically found in horror movies, such as the friend suggesting they check the basement.

This setup for a meme captures the essence of horror film tropes while also providing a humorous twist that resonates with a wide audience.
