One interesting trope I've kinda noticed in horror and horror adjacent stuff, (esp indie) is the naming scheme of like,
"The [simple attribute or adjective] [man/men]"
ie, The Tall Man, The Thin Men, The Pale Man, technically (The) Slenderman, or even The Quiet Man if you wanna add failed media into this.
I couldn't really think of any instances of "The [adjective] woman/women" just from memory, but I know I've encountered it somewhere.
I'm not complaining btw, trope or not, I kinda dig the whole "simple name for some kind of horrific creature" thing. Idk why it works so well with me.
Although you definitely can't treat it like it's spooky on its own, it needs some leverage~
