If you’ve seen a horror movie or two in your life, you’re probably familiar with cheesy, overused horror movie tropes. This can include characters splitting up to find help (although everyone knows it’s you a lot of outside of a group more vulnerable), running towards the killer or the classic “go on without me” speech.
The creators of “Wizards of Waverly Place” play with these tropes in Season 1, Episode 9, “Movies.” In this episode, Alex uses magic to sneak into a horror movie. Her plan works – with a twist. She finds herself in the actual film, where she gets a front row seat to all of these tropes. And lo and behold, a girl runs screaming towards the killer and Justin delivers the classic, dramatic martyr’s speech – although he is actually not injured.
It’s safe to assume that the kids who watch “Wizards” wouldn’t really recognize these tropes yet because they’re too young to be fully familiar with scary movies. But adult audiences will inevitably recognize “Movies” as a hilariously clever satire of the genre.
