6 Horror Movie Villains With Major Mommy Issues

Horror as a genre tends to have a considerable number of tropes and clichés that appear again and again, such as the main villain having mommy issues. From a lonely cabin in the woods to the power cutting out, from splitting up to the classic line “I’ll be right back,” from the final girl to the villain that doesn’t actually die, horror is rife with concepts that can be seen across a wide variety of films. These concepts can also be found in any subgenre of horror including the more cerebral and psychological, or the jump scare slashers.
