Does Not Illustrate: It Was There The Whole Time

Apparently a young trope; the poster does absolutely nothing to illustrating it. Even the caption pretty much admit it ("this movie may contain a subtrope...").

I don't have a suggestion for a replacement, I guess it won't be easy to illustrate, but I call for a pull of the current regardless.

Agreed, that pic does nothing for the page and needs to go.

Yup. Even if this thread doesn't find a replacement, that's completely non-illustrative.

Also, only four examples? Seems like a rather unhealthy trope.

Might want to take it to the stub pages thread.

EDIT: Which, apparently, Larkmarn has already taken care of.

[tup]Pull regardless of replacement. Perhaps the problem of the trope not thriving should be solved to find out what it actually is before finding an image.

It's gone and the page is tagged for this thread.

EDIT: Good grief!!!

A movie full of horror tropes, Scream includes The Calls Are Coming from Inside the House, a sub-trope of this.

Should this thread be shelved, considering the trope is likely going back through YKTTW?

I'm fine to go ahead and lock this. Anyone else?

Sure; frees up a slot for another thread to go through.
