Horror movies have a tendency to come in trends. Whether it be the slasher, hacking up babysitters or the unstoppable supernatural menace stalking camp counselors, horror movies tend to find a winning formula and stick with it.

The upcoming horror movie Happy Death Day looks to turn the conventions of horror/slasher movie tropes on their heads with a victim that cannot seem to stay dead. The movie is written by longtime comic book writer Scott Lobdell, known for his work on series like X-Men, Teen Titans and Red Hood and the Outlaws. The trailer has the look of an interesting mashup of the film Groundhog Day and slasher flicks like Scream.
