Second Act Library

/sekənd/ /akt/ /ˈlīˌbrerē,ˈlīb(ə)rē/
noun, phrase

1. A term used to define a horror trope -- the period of a horror film (most often occurring in the latter half of the Second Act) where the hero/es research their foe/s in an effort to become more equally matched and equipped to battle them in the Final Act. Coined by screenwriter Kimberley Elizabeth.

eg. ~ Copyright-safe Google searches, Wikipedia scouring, Newspaper clippings, Microfiche scanning, and trips to the - you guessed it - Library.

When the characters of I Know What You Did Last Summer go to Billy Blue's sister's house and look through that yearbook, it was a total Second Act Library moment.
