The ritual of hear noise/turn around/see nothing/sigh of relief/turn back/die
I can easily imagine that it was once a masterstroke of tension-building, because otherwise every movie for 50 years wouldn't have copied it. But now it's so easy to see coming that it actually flatlines all tension and leaves me knowing exactly what will happen and just waiting for the formalities to occur.
Similar to the "Cat Scare." I see alot of people griping about fakeout jump scares itt, but it was a great idea and novel trick in referring to notecard 1942 when it first appeared.
