Forgoing the more traditional horror approach of having a masked maniac stalking clueless teens or a ghoulish apparition stacking chairs and making doors slam, films in this genre love turning something innocuous – inert, inanimate, safe – into a terrifying killing machine. The biggest advantage of this supernatural happenstance, on the entity’s end, is that you’ll never see it coming until it’s too late. (Child's Play (series), Culture, Jeepers Creepers, The Shining)
