StoryLab Week 15
( TV Tropes ) For this final week of the semester, I am going back to my favorite TV Tropes page for my final StoryLab (Yes, I know I just did this). Once again, I will be looking at the Horror Tropes because that is my favorite section of this site and it is what I enjoy reading about the most. This week, I wanted to focus on Urban Legends. These are really fun tropes because often times these stories are based on actual events. 1. Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts Besides the obvious Disney reference, I absolutely love this trope. It typically involves a lone drive on a deserted road at night picking up a stranded person along the way. This person typically is always cold despite the weather and sometimes gives life advice to the driver. Next thing the driver knows, their mysterious passenger has vanished into thin air even though the car was never stopped. Examples of this can be seen in movies like The Fog and even in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure 2. The Calls are Coming
