I know many publishers don't want to see the familiar monsters (Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies) but I have to confess I still enjoy a good monster story. One trope that is feeling stale is the "Found Footage" horror, launched by "The Blair Witch Project" (1999) and then popularized through the "Paranormal Activity" series of movies. On the whole, they started to get old, but there are still a few gems in there, like "Europa Report" (2013).
