Horror Plot

[Kreekakon]

Actually, when it comes down to it I don't think it's actually a bad thing if there are people who die in your story. People dying is more of a trope than it is a cliche. If you have people dying in your story, and you're able to pull off the plot nicely then why not? No one's going to automatically disregard a story's quality just because thy have tropes in them, or in this case people dying.

Just saying there's no real need to try, and force out a good story without people dying if you equally able to make a good one that does.
