Or the serial killer turns out to be the main female character's boyfriend.

Other cliches: The young couple always gets killed during or after they are having sex, ghostly women usually have long black hair and wear sheer nightgowns, and guns don't exist or are useless in a slasher movie.

More cliches: The child's imaginary friend or favorite toy is pure evil, Asian woman is always mysterious (unless she's hanging out with other Asians), humans are the real monsters, people who have never shot a gun before are suddenly expert marksmen, and zombies wearing unique clothes that stand out from other zombies (nurse zombies, soldier zombies, clown zombies, etc)

Some more cliches: Good Witch vs Bad Witch, every cult worships an evil god that really DOES exist, nobody ever wants to kill an evil child, elderly people are creepy and untrustworthy, vampires love to party in decadent nightclubs, and your best friend or lover is the werewolf.

Some more: Voodoo is dark and evil, dying rich guy gets revenge on his greedy heirs, and woods, boiler rooms, factories, and warehouses are all evil places.

More Stuff: Psychic kids drawing crayon pictures of people dying, wooden boards and nails are always CONVIENTLY left lying around to build a barricade, girl tripping and twisting her ankle, character investigating a scary noise, wishes always backfire, and the group always splits up so that the unimportant characters get killed first.
