anyone who's watched a horror movie knows one thing the characters make horrible decisions but if they made good decisions odds are we wouldn't have the movie so here are some horrible decisions made by characters in horror movies and I hope it goes without warning that there are spoilers ahead number 10 Jeepers Creepers checking the pipe after practically being chased by a terrifying lunatic truck driver in the middle of literal nowhere go around me our main protagonists Dar and Trish spot the Shady Sinister looking character who was driving the truck depositing what looks like a rolled
up corpse into a pipe at the side of the road hell is that the Shady looking character then quite obviously stares down the two as they drive by knowing that they witnessed what he had just done having to now dispose of the witnesses the truck driver emerges once again ramming darry's car off the road before continuing on down the road now a normal person would just get out of there and Report the incident to the first cop they encounter however this wouldn't be a horror movie without a horrible idea Darry decides to go back and
check out what was dumped inside the pipe instead of getting to the nearest phone and calling the police he ends up falling inside the pipe after getting scared by a couple of rats and ultimately becomes the Creeper's next Target number nine Drag Me to Hell not checking the envelope at at the end of Drag Me to Hell after Christine had seemingly gotten rid of the cursed button that would send her to Hell clay her boyfriend pulls out a familiar envelope containing none other than the cursed button it turned out she had mistakenly gotten rid of
Clay's envelope containing a quarter instead of the one containing the Button had Christine simply made the right decision and checked the contents of the envelope first she would have been freed from the Eternal curse [Music] [Music] number eight the ending of I Am Legend at the end of I Am Legend Robert Neville decides to sacrifice himself by putting the antidote into Anna's hand and putting her and her son into a reinforced Coal Shed before pulling the pin off a grenade and blowing himself up along with the rampaging dark [Music] Seekers what he could have done
differently though was just lob the grenade at them and get into the shift since it can obviously fit another person and it would only take two steps for Robert to get inside number seven Helen's death I Know What You Did Last that summer while on the run for her life from a crazed hook welding killer Helen finds herself only a few feet away from Freedom where a marching band and onlookers are seen walking by but Helen's pointless and foolish decision to turn around and look behind her at the last possible moment instead of running into
the crowd of people is nothing short of moronic and thus it leads to a death that could have been easily avoided [Music] number six the hand trap saw two Addison's death is one of the most easily avoided in the entire saw series inside of a glass box with two holes in it is an antidote if Addison were to walk to the other side of the Box she would have seen a lock with a key sticking out of it which in turn would have unlocked the box and allowed her to access the antidote without harm however
she makes the rash decision to put both of her hands inside of the holes getting her your caught in the blades fitted in the holes number five not closing the beach and Jaws after hearing the news of a giant great white shark on the loose near the shore mayor vaugh refuses to close the local Beach and Safeguard his citizens look we depend on the summer people here for our very lives you not going those we're not only going to have to close the beach we're going to have to hire somebody to kill the shark I
mean we're going to have to tell the Coast Guard deciding tourism income is more important than the actual safety of those tourists Maron soon learns of the consequences for his greedy [Music] mistake Number Four The Purge letting somebody into the house and leaving the safe room there were so many horrible decisions made in this movie that it would be hard not to include more than one firstly one of if not the biggest one was when the son Charlie decided to disarm the house security system to allow a stranger into his home on the night of
the purge when any stranger can rob you hurt you or kill you and your entire family and get away with it not to mention this man is also being chased by purges somebody please just open the door for me they're coming they're coming kidding somebody please they're going to kill me what the hell this idiotic decision is of course what led to everything afterward in the movie including the death of Charlie's own father another ridiculous decision in the movie was the choice of the entire family to leave the safe room while their house is under
attack when a load of Maniacs are set to break into your house banging for blood and you have a perfectly good safe room and a bunch of guns at hand surely it makes sense to hold up there and Blast Away whoever so much as breathes near the door but that would be too logical for a horror movie so the family splits up making themselves easier to pick off one by one number three Halloween resurrection trying to unmask Michael Myers in the beginning of the eighth installment of the franchise lorri Strode finally captures Michael my as
she gets ready to cut the rope that he's dangling on and end her nightmare forever she decides to unmask him and see if it's really her brother she fails to realize that even though he's hanging upside down his hands are still free number two scream Tatum's death when the Ghost Face Killer traps Tatum in the garage she actually manages to put up a good fight for a bit getting the killer on the ground several [Music] times [ __ ] however instead of kicking the killer while he's down or looking for something to use as a
weapon in the garage she decides to crawl out a pet door which is clearly too small for her to fit into and number one saw the foot amputation after being unable to reach the phone with his arm Dr Gordon decided his only choice was to sever his foot or he could have used the saw to grab it a [Music] [Music] [Music]
