Worse part of those types of movies though, is that it's really limited when it comes to the realism factor. If I was being munched to death by a zombie, I probably would have stopped filming long ago.

Singing kids. A lot of horror movies often have some background music that has kids singing softly in a creepy, depressing manner. Again, nothing wrong with this, but it's been done to death. I suppose when it fits the bill, I can't complain, if kids, or childhood is a root theme...but eh. Shut up, you damn kids.

Blind death scenes. I hate it when a screen cuts off right as a death blow is about to land, and we're treated to a picture of the moon as the victim screams away in agony. Especially in slasher movies.

Rich people. Why is everyone in horror movies always so rich? Budding, struggling college students always have huge, fancy apartments with the latest technology. That's not how it works in real life.

As for shaking cameras, still haven't found one worse than The Amittyville Haunting...
