I’m also sick of the trope. It’s made my relationship with horror complicated as I’ve become more disabled and an activist. I wrote an article about that (and why I wrote a crip horror novel) + found a great list with movies that feature disabled characters (in god and bad ways), if you’re interested in sharing either.
