Three things found in every horror movie house, but rarely in yours.

While horror movie tend to change with the times, there are a few things they are behind on.  Some of the most important involve changes in building design and personal hygiene. So here are a few of the most out of place items in horror movies. 

Straight razors

Well maybe they have these at Sweeny Todd's house. Almost every house in a horror movie seems to have baskets of these things just laying around. They always make for a scary visual, but when was the last time you saw one in real life?  I'm in my 40's and I've only seen them in horror movies. 

The claw-foot tub

  The main reason for these is so that the killer can pop up behind the teenage girl and murder her.  I say teenage girl, because in horror movies men never take baths or showers.

The bathroom mirror/medicine cabinet.

  Long ago these were replaced with larger mirrors so people would have a place to pose for Facebook pictures.  The only purpose these serve in horror movies is this, the JumpScare.
