Horror Movies Dumbest Moments

[unit_number_43]

The dumbest most unbeliavable things people due in horror films:

1. Going Upstairs

Let's take care of the most obvious one first. There are a couple reasons why this is the number one dumb thing people do in horror films. Obviously there's no easy way out from the 2nd floor, you're basically trapping yourself. But more than that, usually the staircase is right next to the front door. THE FRONT DOOR! Which usually leads to...you know...outside. Your car, neighbors, open space, all that good stuff.

2. Locking Yourself In A Room

Usually coupled with #1, this has to be one of the worst moves that every horror film has. And why people almost always lock themselves in the bathroom is beyond me. More than half the time, bathroom windows are too small to climb out of anyway. What's the thought process here? "Good, I'll just buy myself a few more seconds to pant and cry and flail my hands around wildly." Good move. If you lock yourself in a bathroom, you deserve to die.

3. Running

The worst horror films usually have the antagonist as a crazy guy with some type of sharp object. Why would you run from someone with a knife? Especially when it's in your own house? What are you doing? Hit'm with something! In my house alone their are 2 swords (yep, full length swords), 3 Pellet guns, and an array of heavy blunt objects, most of which can be thrown from a distance. Even when the victim thinks enough to grab a kitchen knife, they usually end up in situation #1 & #2 clutching the knife to their chest in a quivering mass of tears and slobber. Dont' run away, run at them with a golf club! Nothing scares a killer more than someone crazier then they are charging them with a golf club.

4. Lighting a Match in a Dark Room

This one's pretty much reserved for paranormal horro flicks. You know why it's dark? Because theirs something you don't want to see in there. DON'T LIGHT ANYTHING.

5. Peering Into Dark Holes

What's with characters sticking their faces right over a dark hole and peering inside like their going to find hidden pirate treasure. You've been chased for the last hour by a crazy ghost/slimy thing, I'll give you two guesses as to where it's hiding. And I'll give you a hint: It's in the hole! When you look into a dark hole, you do it the same why I do. From 3 ft away, on your toes, with your hands ready to swat/hit/grab/throw anything that comes flying at at you.

The most stupidest thing I have ever seen in a movie would have to be in Jaws 3, where they fly in a little plane to an island, but a shark who is a relative to the last one killed follows them by smell.

That would have to be the all time dumbest original thing i have ever seen.

Of course the classic alian style "ooo Darrell, this meteroite just landed in our back yard, and its leaking this green goo... i wonder what happens if i touch it with my finger... hey, why dont i rub it all over my body for fun..." kinda thing.

Good examples of this on The Grudge:

*SPOILER ALERT&#33;*

1. Yes, we here noises in the attic. LETS GO CHECK IT OUT ALONE&#33;

2. Hmmm.... murky water in a house where all my friends where killed, LET ME PULL THE PLUG&#33;

3. Dead Person coming down the stairs&#33; LETS STAY STILL LIKE AN IDIOT. MAYBE IT WONT SEE ME.
