When I think of horror, I typically think of overused plots and some of my favorite horror stories. Thinking like that traps me in this boxed mindset where I can't come up with anything new and original. It feels like all the creativity has been drained out of me so I resort to old tactics that, like you said, have worked time and time again. I doubt I'm the only one that gets this way.

I concur.
