It may be past Halloween already, but the TV/Movie Trope we pulled this week is the "Evil Plan" trope!

When there is trouble, who do you call? Well, it could be the Ghostbusters, but it could also be the "Supernatural Team" trope!

When your house comes to life and tries digesting you in its basement, when all of the village kids are kidnapped by evil fairies, when a portal to Hell opens and unleashes bedlam on the land of the living, who you gonna call? When it comes to …
