@Maidencastle Bold and fallacious of you to assume detractors are just laymen. Arguably, there are issues with cliches. In fact thats the whole reason this wiki functions, to get writers to not just copy ideas down and write in the same exact format. This is less about originality than it is the sum of its parts: its not well written at all AND created a cliche genre. It is quite literally, in most senses of the word, bad.

And It’s not about trying to come up with an idea that doesn’t exist: thats just illogical and doesn’t even pertain to the topic at hand. Its about the execution, the structure. The “horror” is that an innocent thing is turned dark for no apparent reason and throws in gore shock for a cheap turn. Thats what everyone dislikes about it. It can’t necessarily be faulted for the creation of it’s cliches on purpose, but it will be always. Maybe the cliche itself isn’t inherently flawed, but the subsequent over usage of that idea automatically makes it an outdated, dulled concept.
