I think that way lies madness.For example, instead of having a “monsters” category and listing literally every single monster that could potentially come up, it would be better to have a “monster” category with a few top examples and a lot of blanks to be filled in as necessary.So too with different genres. Make the category and list the most obvious tropes and themes and leave lots of blanks for filling in.Side note, in my stumblings I found an odd horror review channel on YouTube. The intro video essay is, I think, kinda relevant (in parts) to the discussion.[MEDIA=youtube]GsU8EmIKG3E[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
