Number one is what killed me with Terrifier 1&2 they had plenty of chances to bash Art’s skull or cut him to bits but naaaaawwww . Let’s hit this guy once and give him all the time in the world to get up and brutalize us.
Here's the thing: characters in a horror movie don't know they're in a horror movie. In reality, there is literally nothing I would refuse to read out of fear that demons would come after me, because that never happens. For the same reason, I'm not the slightest bit scared of saying "Candyman" or "Bloody Mary" into a mirror. I mean, clearly the actors in Candyman did it with no ill effects.
That's stupid, did you even watch the movie? Reading from a book that they don't know is evil isn't even what invokes the demons. It's literally the invocation on the Tape Recorder.
Because of this scene the people at CinemaSins coined the phrase 'The Prometheus school of running away' to describe incompetence in movie characters escaping from things.
Still stupid. 99.999999999 garbage doors have an auto sensor. And the same amount would never be able to lift 130 pounds with such force it would kill someone.
I agree. But as someone who lives in the shark bite capital of the world, they only close the beach for an hour or two until the shark is out of sight after an attack.
The editing does this scene no favors either. The shots from the outside show her through it past her boobs, but from the garage side, it’s only her head.
Yeah and you can even notice it when you watch the movie too. So theoretically this was actually smart. Leaving reality I think the kill is fun but I get Cody’s sentiment
True. They had to basically tie her sweater down so she couldnt. Once her "assets" made it through she was obviously in the clear. Plus her body weight would have immediately stopped the door from raising.
#1 stupidest decision in a horror movie for me was in Halloween Kills, where any of the mob tries to kill Michael. First was in the hospital where they chase down that orderly even though he looks NOTHING like Michael at all but they refuse to realize that. Then, once they have bought down Michael at the end, they don’t even BOTHER trying to go for his head and shoot him in non fatal areas, and when they try to separate, Michael gets back up and kills them all.
I don't know if anything will ever top Helen in I Know What You Did Last Summer when she is about to escape but she stops & looks behind her giving the killer the time to kill her.
1.The ring why watch the tape? 2.Jeepers creepers why go in the pipe? 3.jaws why didn’t they close the beach? 4.Why did she stop running in IKWYDLS? 5.Why pull a prank in an apocalypse? 6.why summon the entity?
In Jeepers Creepers he went down the pipe cause he thought he may be able to help someone that might still be alive and he took the chance. "What if it were you down there?"
@@a.c.slater7989 Like he even says in the video, you can very clearly tell Jason has been dead for a long time. There was no reason for him to just randomly start impaling him for Jason to get struck by lightning
I am a garage door tech. Let me tell you that scream kill with tatum COULD NEVER happen either. Adding weight to a door.. like her going thru the doggy door. Means you have to add more turns to the springs above and to do that would be without her in the door and it would create too much tension and the door would come flying up fast, going off the track breaking the door. They did a good job tho making it look like it worked. But no.. impossible for it to happen. P.S I hate that kill too. Bugs me alot tho as a garage door guy.
Depending on the machine running it, too, most of them would just outright stop well before she was caught in the doorway because there's a safety feature to prevent the motor from overworking or damaging the door by running it into an obstacle. Could have worked that into the kill though, most of them just dead stop where they are instead of reversing direction, so it could have just carried her to where she would be stuck hanging and stop there, allowing Ghostface to reach her in time. Also reminds me of an X-Files episode where someone gets hung by their necktie inexplicably getting caught in the overhead rail chain.
For me the dumbest decision in Jaws is that family continuing to live on the beach after multiple shark attacks. If you wanna be in the water that badly, just get a pool 🤣
Hey, Cody, speaking of Tatum Riley from Scream, I met Rose McGowan at the New Orleans fan expo 2 months in January, she was super nice, I got a photo op with her and I got an autograph picture of Tatum Riley from her. I told her that I was on the autism spectrum and Rose told me that she herself is on the Spectrum as well, Super cool. I asked her questions about her time on screen and the character of Tatum, she said that Tatum Riley was her favorite character in her film career and she enjoyed being on set And I asked her about the #10 white football jersey themed crop top Tatum wore, how that fans like to bring up it's a reference to Glenn from the original Nightmare on Elm Street but Rose McGowan told me that there was another meaning to the jersey, At the scene where Sidney was at home after school and she was talking to Tatum about staying at her place for a week until her dad got home and Tatum said she'll pick her up after practice, a lot of fans speculated that Tatum was at cheerleader practice, but Rose actually told me that Tatum wasn't on the cheerleading squad, she was on the football team, Rose told me that she herself isn't personally a football fan but the character of Tatum is that kind of girl that would do guy things to show female empowerment, and that Tatum was actually that one girl on the football team in Woodsboro High That's my experience meeting Rose McGowan 😊
You know, I really didn’t mind his character. He didn’t bother me the way some others hate him. But that scene man, my jaw hit the floor in the theatre. Like why would they do that?!
Not so much dumb but rather, “this p**ses me off to no end” is the ending to Truth or Dare where the two final girls get on the main character’s TH-cam page, which has a few million subscribers, most of whom are most likely teenagers or little kids, and ask them Truth or Dare, basically tagging most of the world into their game, just so they can survive.
Yeah thats not dumb so much as cruelly offering everyone else up on the platter just so two people can survive lol makes you dislike the characters even more
@@gRinchY-op5vr The actual dumb part was that guy who was with them as they were setting up a way to banish the spirit choosing dare which ruined everything
In the original Scream, during the garage kill, I love how Tatum delivers 2 full beer bottles to the face of Ghostface, no effect on him whatsoever. WTF? If 2 heavy full beer bottles hit the Terminator or even Michael Myers, I could excuse it, but not here because here it’s just teenage Billy in a costume!?!!
@@travisKlappe I think it was Billy as after that scene Billy shows up from around the house in front of Stu and Sydney and gives Stu a look as if to say it's done she's dead.
@@jakewheeler6014-- exactly, that’s why I’m positive it was Billy who killed Tatum as Stu was in the house hosting the party at that point in the film, his presence was accounted for , proving it couldn’t have been Stu.
The most frustrating thing to me about the original Halloween is when Tommy Doyle's lazy ass was taking his sweet and precious time getting to the door when Laurie was banging on it and screaming for her life!
I still wonder what that woman was thinking going that close to the car to try to shoot Micheal Myers only to shoot herself in the face accidentally in Halloween Kills
- Simon and Connie do wanted to leave but where killed right after, - Dani wanted to leave, but Pelle made her stay, - Josh stayed because of his thesis and he had some knowledge of the attestupa, so for him it probably wasn't out of left field, - Christian stayed for the same reason, - Mark stayed because he wanted Swedish punaan and he wasn't at the attestupa, and even if he attented, like CinemaSins said "the power of boners is stronger". I saw nothing wrong in that movie. Not in the theatrical cut, not in the director's cut.
The HUSBAND and WIFE in "Speak No Evil" SUH-HUCKED. I yelled BOTH "GOOD" and "F*CK YOU" at the end. I hate. HATE both of them SO much!! (Kudos to those actors!! BTW!)
A while ago, I saw one of the director's other movies called En frygtelig Kvinde, and I'm certain he lives to PISS PEOPLE OFF! It's almost misanthropic what he does with his characters.
Oh man did I SUFFER watching Speak No Evil. The most infuriating movie Ive ever watched, although very meaningful in some ways. Definitely the worst nightmare for actually aware parents
Your review of Jaws got me. Talking about the mayor, still being the mayor. Smh...we've sent drones to Mars for goodness sakes, yet the smallest things are our Achilles heel. I truly believe that mankind will extinct itself, no super volcano or meteorite the size of texas, just good ol' human ingenuity.
When I was watching speak no evil, I was furious at how absolutely stupid the parents were. There’s one point where they actually escape and they go back because of the dumbest reason ever. I was ready to punch my tv and go buy a new one.
One of my picks: The scene in 'Scream 2' where the two girls are in the crashed cop car with Ghostface, and Ghostface has been knocked unconscious, and the two girls have to crawl over Ghostface to get out of the car..... but neither one of them takes a second to just grab the damned knife and remove the mask to disarm and expose the killer that's stalking them??
They could’ve grabbed the gun from the cop on the hood. It’s still in his hand. They could’ve shot Ghostface, then take off his mask. It’s the dumbest decision Sydney Prescott has ever made.
Speak No Evil was so effective for me cause it was the most effective example of characters almost being in the clear...but they make that one move, and it's like F***
Here are some decisions that I think could've made the list: - Putting your hands in the Razor Box Trap - Saw II (2005) - Not attempting to leave - Midsommar (2019) - Watching a video tape, even though you know that it is cursed - The Ring (2002) - Most of the decisions - The Zombie Diaries (2006) *
If I were Tatum, I'd try to stand and fight Ghostface as best I could. The frustrating thing is that she seemed to be doing okay against him until she tried to squeeze through that kitty-door. Ghostface was clumsy AF, so it's not inconceivable that she might have just kept pelting him with beers, and with numerous other objects that would probably be available to her, until he was incapacitated.
Not only did Tommy Jarvis dig up Jason's body to torch it, but he did so during a thunderstorm. Like, dude... just wait a day or two until it clears up.
Violence against kids and babies always ends the movie for me as well. Once u have kids I think horror just isn't fun when it involves harm to children
I’m gonna throw in Pet Semetary. Louis saw what happened when Church came back but he went ahead and buried Gage. Then Louis saw what happened when Gage came back, so what does he do? He buries her anyway….yet again.
That's kind of the whole point and the real horror of the story. What would you do in that situation? Most people would say no, but extreme grief can drive you crazy. Also, in the book it's heavily implied that the burial ground (or Wendigo) manipulates Louis and Jud.
Friday the 13th final chapter when Rob and Trish are going up the stairs in the basement. Jason grabs Trish's ankle, but gets away. They have a chance to run up the stairs to escape Jason but Rob decides to go downstairs to confront Jason only to be hacked to death without Rob putting any effort to fight back. "Run Trish! He's killing me! Run!!!"
I get your anger toward Speak No Evil, but that was the point of the movie. Dealing with awkward social situations, not handling them well. He tries harder near the end to get away.
Giving the first time a pass, Laurie throwing away the knife the second time (after thinking she had killed him earlier) and, doubling down, having the audacity to turn her back on MM (again, he had arose earlier after you thought you killed him) is frustrating (despite the film being an otherwise masterpiece)
Juno deciding to take the group inside an uncharted cave in the first place was a huge mistake. Caving is dangerous even without creepy monsters trying to kill you.
Cody I’m gonna respectfully disagree with you on the garage kill bc in real life Rose managed to fit through that dog door in real life and they stapled her to the garage door if I remember correctly to make her stick to it. The door was locked, she couldn’t fight forever so it was a very desperate decision. The kill is creative when has a garage kill been used to kill someone before scream. One of the most stupidest decisions in horror which was a recent one was Jake believing chucky was actually good when everyone around him is telling him to kill that version of chucky. You should definitely make another video cause this was hilarious.
It was stupid but it wasn't the most stupid. I think that is why he made it number 10. She was definitely in Panic mode and just made a bad decision. I think the main issue was that she was in a fairly junky garage, there was a wealth of makeshift weapons (a bike, a tire without the rim, unused beer cans, lawn chair). She probably had a better chance to just start throwing stuff. The wilder the better. There is a high chance killer could get knocked off balance or even severely injured themselves having to dodge projectiles. If killer is incapacitated, the ball is in her court, she can decide if she wants to finish killer off or run away. That said the only other reason it might not be as stupid is because we as the audience see this junky garage, but she probably doesn't. Usually a movie room at night will usually be a dark room in real life so she probably wouldn't be able to see all her options in real life and her eyes would be drawn to a light source, doggy door and hence what happens. Also I think the movie plays into her helpless nature. She has no idea of who or what is attacking her and obviously have any practical self defense knowledge of her own, so is obviously extremely scared and is in her own fight or flight mode. Her character just chooses the flight option, which isn't really available to her. Fight would have been a better option but it isn't her character which probably is because she probably never had a real fight in her life so it makes sense she would want to stick with what she is more comfortable with.
Actually, Tatum may not have been so dumb trying to fit through the doggie door. Rose McGowan not only got through the door, she kept getting through so easily that her struggles to appear stuck looked fake. They had to staple (or glue or tape, I can’t remember) her clothes to the door so that her struggle looked genuine.
This is my new favorite list you've done and I really hope you do sequels to it. The Strangers is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. But the thing that always bothered me the most was after they accidentally shoot his best friend, they leave and abandon their plan to hide in a corner with a shotgun and wait for the strangers to come. It was a perfect plan. Just because they killed his friend, doesn't mean it doesn't work. It was the best option and advantage they had and instead of continuing to do it and stay safe they walk out and make themselves vulnerable again. Always annoyed the crap out of me. And omg yes!! I completely agree with you with Jeepers Creepers. So stupid!
I know Speak No evil is not a film for everyone, but I believe it’s intentional for the characters to act that way or do the stupid thing. They are spineless people and are pushovers. That first scene where bad guy asks if can have the chair is him basically testing him to see if they can be their next victims. The family are very innocent people and when faced with evil they don’t know how to react or deal with it and are too afraid to do anything. When they ask why the bad people are doing this they say cause you let me. also think the title of the film refers them not saying or speaking up enough for themselves. They don’t want to say anything bad or negative cause they are afraid. They won’t speak of evil. Also applies to the kids when their tongues are cut off and they can’t warn the next victims.
It’s not just Prometheus, Covenant has some incredibly dumb stuff going on. This time round the crew don’t even bother with helmets, they just stroll off the ship like they’re on a day trip to the beach. During the backburster scene when the woman slips on the blood, jams her foot in the door almost breaking her foot and then blows herself and the ship up with a shotgun…and of course the „take a look, it’s perfectly safe“ 🤦♂️
I’d put Quint smashing his ship’s radio to pieces with a baseball bat as another dumb decision in Jaws. His pride and stubbornness killed any chance of them being able to call for help and rescue when the Orca was sinking. It might have even prevented Quint’s death from being eaten by the shark as well.
It might not be the dumbest decision in horror, but I hate the fact that, in the original Halloween, Laurie abandons the 2 kids under her care to investigate what is happening to her friends across the street. That is not only dumb, but irresponsible. As a mother, I would never leave the house with my kids sleeping upstairs, even if I thought my friends were pulling some prank, let alone if I thought something bad might've happened to them.
We'll have to agree to disagree on Tatums death, I love that moment. Honestly, as much as I love Stus "death", it's a much sillier and unrealistic death. I'm with you on The Strangers though. I'm not sure why that movie gets so much love. It's just characters making bad decisions on top of bad decisions.
Speak no evil is so high on dumb decisions. At one point, they have LITERALLY LEFT THE HOUSE BECAUSE OF HOW WEIRD THINGS ARE AND GO BACK FOR A STUFFED ANIMAL
100%. And it definitely was. Especially for back then when more of these kills were original. It gets away with it just because it's stupid fun with great effects
I'd like to point out a decision that I disagree is stupid in a movie that isn't actually mentioned here. I saw a review by a TH-camr of The Purge which made me angry. He said that the son made the dumbest decision in movie history by saving another character. I personally thought the son was the only character in the film acting like a decent human being.
one that i would add is in Saw II, when Addison sticks her hands into the razor box without thinking for even a millisecond, which would have given her the chance to see that the key to unlock it and get the antidote was right there the whole time.
For me, the dumbest decision a character made in a horror film is when one of the characters in The Blair Witch Project lost their map. That was super infuriating for me.
As much has already been said, the idea that Victor Salva got to make a movie where one of the messages was "all of the horrible things wouldn't happen if people would mind their own business..." is something, indeed.
I have a friend that is so scared of demonic beings being summoned that she will not watch those movies in her house. She won't let her teen kids watch them either. She said that the movie might bring the demons to her house. She's 40 something and has never seen the Exorcist.
Alien (1979) - Allowing Kane to travel further in the derelict ship where he gets attacked by a facehugger. They should have taken Lambert's advice and gotten the hell out of there after seeing the Space Jockey.
I think the criticism of reading the Necronomicon is weak. If I was in that situation, I wouldn't give a crap how scary the book looks. I'd be like "It's just a book" because I don't believe in ghosts and demons. It's only a dumb decision in hindsight. I feel like the decision needs to be clearly dumb when they make it and this doesn't fit that. By this logic, I could argue that any action that causes death is "a dumb decision." We can't always predict when something will be a bad decision. It's only dumb if it's clear at that moment. Why would they worry about reading the book if they're supposed to believably exist in the real world? I'd laugh if someone told me they wouldn't read a book because the outside looks freaky. I wouldn't assume demons are going to pop out and neither should the characters in Evil Dead.
One dumb character decision I don’t see much people talk about is the opening scene to one of the best zombie movies ever made, 28 Days Later. You have this group of animal activists who break into a lab to take chimpanzees with them and you have the only scientist in the lab telling them that the chimps are infected and only telling them that they’re infected with ‘rage’. The activists ignore him and open one of the cages, causing one of them to get bitten and infected, starting the outbreak and the events of the film. For as much I love the opening at how effective it is to start the movie off and introduce you to what the rage virus can do, I can’t help but admit how dumb not only the activists were at ignoring the scientist, but the scientist is also dumb for not further explaining what the virus is and what it can do if it infects humans, especially with how easy it was for the activists to break into the lab with no security to stop them. It is a believable enough set up for how the outbreak started, but it is without question dumb as hell how the outbreak could’ve been prevented if the activists listened to the scientist and the scientist explained what the rage virus is.
Frank - Return of the living dead( Burt told him to stay away from those goddam tanks) Micha - Paranormal Activity ( whole movie , There's a scene when Katie's literally begging him to leave) Josh ,Mike & Heather - Blair Witch Project ( take your pick)
Agree with frank. He was dumb enough to HIT the tank he KNEW contained something dangerous. I get that it's part of the comedy element of horror comedy, but still ...
And Pam from friday 5...falls in the mud, then just lazily crawling backwards, necer even tries to get up. Also Maddie from friday 7...lets look out the peephole. Then lets creep out, assuming Jason left, then hiding behind a wall, where if he moves like 3 feet he sees you.
I love how Ghostface gets smacked on his ass by her and she decides to not run around him and through the door or to keep kicking his ass while he is down but instead chooses to try and squeeze through a tiny lil dog door in the garage 😂
The human centipede: Lindsay escapes but goes back for her unconscious friend causing her to get kidnapped again. Friday the 13th: Mrs. Vorhees kills everyone with no speech or problem but gets to Alice and she gets a speech and then just getting slapped 😂 I know what you did last summer: helen is about to get away from the killer and looks back and pauses and gets caught House of the devil: mr. Ullman says to the babysitter that she cant have her friend over because he can't afford to pay her and her friend. She backs out and he offers to triple her pay and she doesnt question why he just said he couldn't afford to pay her friend but tripled her pay
basically everything Chris does in Friday 3 right up to the point where she fights Jason. She’s single handedly responsible for every death in the film apart from the two store owners at the beginning
I always thought the Rose McGowen kill was stupid! I could have lived with her getting stuck, the door opening half way and then Ghostface walking over and slitting her throat while she was unable to escape. A really cool image of Ghostfaces reflection in her eye would have made that death justifiable.
Cody I just had my first kid! Any advice? I see you mention your family a lot, and it makes me appreciate family centered men like you and would love to take any advice you could give.
The Tatum kill holds a special place in my heart. It was the first time I’d ever seen anything in a movie that genuinely scared me. I know objectively it’s a ridiculous set of events that should be more funny than anything, but watching it at home, alone, in the dark, in my family’s living room with floor to ceiling windows, as a teenager, even while my brain was screaming at me that this was stupid and I should laugh, my heart was trying to beat out of my chest. The tension it builds is crazy on a first watch. It’s still a scene that activates my fight or flight like no other. But I do understand totally how it wouldn’t work for a lot of people. I really don’t even know why it works so well for me.
I'm gonna defend Tommy digging Jason up. Tommy had psychological issues after the events of Part 4, and it got so bad that by the time Part 5 happened, the dude was suffering from hallucinations and nightmares of Jason. It also didn't help that Roy Burns went on a copycat killing spree around this time, so that further worsened his issues to the point that Tommy had a psychotic breakdown and nearly killed Pam. Fast forward a few years, and Tommy wants to have some form of closure. He wants the hallucinations and nightmares to stop so he can actually move forward with his life. So, in his mind, burning Jason's body would give him that relief. Also, there's no way Tommy would've known that lightning would bring Jason back to life.
He's not saying Jaws is dumb. Just that the Mayor is dumb and making dumb decisions. Which is accurate. His actions are THE reason that poor kid dies. Completely agree with your point as well.

The Mayor choosing to not close the beach from the first Jaws is the dumbest character decision in the horror genre.
Dumb and greedy
I agree. But as someone who lives in the shark bite capital of the world, they only close the beach for an hour or two until the shark is out of sight after an attack.
He's obviously a Republican so it fully tracks.
Then no one else would have died.

True. They had to basically tie her sweater down so she couldnt. Once her "assets" made it through she was obviously in the clear. Plus her body weight would have immediately stopped the door from raising.

#1 stupidest decision in a horror movie for me was in Halloween Kills, where any of the mob tries to kill Michael.

Then, once they have bought down Michael at the end, they don’t even BOTHER trying to go for his head and shoot him in non fatal areas, and when they try to separate, Michael gets back up and kills them all.

Dewey going back to shoot the killer again in scream 5 wasnt a great idea lol
I'd say being distracted by your phone ringing in a Scream movie was the dumb part.
I am a garage door tech. Let me tell you that scream kill with tatum COULD NEVER happen either. Adding weight to a door.. like her going thru the doggy door. Means you have to add more turns to the springs above and to do that would be without her in the door and it would create too much tension and the door would come flying up fast, going off the track breaking the door. They did a good job tho making it look like it worked. But no.. impossible for it to happen.
P.S I hate that kill too. Bugs me alot tho as a garage door guy.
Depending on the machine running it, too, most of them would just outright stop well before she was caught in the doorway because there's a safety feature to prevent the motor from overworking or damaging the door by running it into an obstacle. Could have worked that into the kill though, most of them just dead stop where they are instead of reversing direction, so it could have just carried her to where she would be stuck hanging and stop there, allowing Ghostface to reach her in time. Also reminds me of an X-Files episode where someone gets hung by their necktie inexplicably getting caught in the overhead rail chain.
For me the dumbest decision in Jaws is that family continuing to live on the beach after multiple shark attacks. If you wanna be in the water that badly, just get a pool 🤣
This is an awesome idea. Never stop making top tier content, Cody!
Wrong turn 4 when the girls didn’t want to kill the cannibals locked in the jail cell!! Pissed me off so much
Hey, Cody, speaking of Tatum Riley from Scream, I met Rose McGowan at the New Orleans fan expo 2 months in January, she was super nice, I got a photo op with her and I got an autograph picture of Tatum Riley from her.
I told her that I was on the autism spectrum and Rose told me that she herself is on the Spectrum as well, Super cool.
I asked her questions about her time on screen and the character of Tatum, she said that Tatum Riley was her favorite character in her film career and she enjoyed being on set
And I asked her about the #10 white football jersey themed crop top Tatum wore, how that fans like to bring up it's a reference to Glenn from the original Nightmare on Elm Street but Rose McGowan told me that there was another meaning to the jersey,
At the scene where Sidney was at home after school and she was talking to Tatum about staying at her place for a week until her dad got home and Tatum said she'll pick her up after practice, a lot of fans speculated that Tatum was at cheerleader practice, but Rose actually told me that Tatum wasn't on the cheerleading squad, she was on the football team, Rose told me that she herself isn't personally a football fan but the character of Tatum is that kind of girl that would do guy things to show female empowerment, and that Tatum was actually that one girl on the football team in Woodsboro High
That's my experience meeting Rose McGowan 😊

Not so much dumb but rather, “this p**ses me off to no end” is the ending to Truth or Dare where the two final girls get on the main character’s TH-cam page, which has a few million subscribers, most of whom are most likely teenagers or little kids, and ask them Truth or Dare, basically tagging most of the world into their game, just so they can survive.

In the original Scream, during the garage kill, I love how Tatum delivers 2 full beer bottles to the face of Ghostface, no effect on him whatsoever. WTF? If 2 heavy full beer bottles hit the Terminator or even Michael Myers, I could excuse it, but not here because here it’s just teenage Billy in a costume!?!!

@@travisKlappe I think it was Billy as after that scene Billy shows up from around the house in front of Stu and Sydney and gives Stu a look as if to say it's done she's dead.

Laurie dropping the knife multiple times in the original Halloween is always frustrating, haha
The most frustrating thing to me about the original Halloween is when Tommy Doyle's lazy ass was taking his sweet and precious time getting to the door when Laurie was banging on it and screaming for her life!
I still wonder what that woman was thinking going that close to the car to try to shoot Micheal Myers only to shoot herself in the face accidentally in Halloween Kills
Surprised Midsommar didn’t make the list, for the exact reasons as your number 1 is there. Every red flag in the book to leave, and they refuse.
Instead they argue over a thesis
@dong.corleone
Danny and company knew their major priorities. 🤣🤣
- Simon and Connie do wanted to leave but where killed right after,
- Dani wanted to leave, but Pelle made her stay,
- Josh stayed because of his thesis and he had some knowledge of the attestupa, so for him it probably wasn't out of left field,
- Christian stayed for the same reason,
- Mark stayed because he wanted Swedish punaan and he wasn't at the attestupa, and even if he attented, like CinemaSins said "the power of boners is stronger".
I saw nothing wrong in that movie. Not in the theatrical cut, not in the director's cut.

Paul from Cabin Fever poking the dead hermit in the reservoir only to fall in has to be one of the dumbest decisions I’ve seen.
Going in the God damn tunnel in Jeepers Creepers or every Justin Long decision in every horror flick he's in!
Oh man did I SUFFER watching Speak No Evil. The most infuriating movie Ive ever watched, although very meaningful in some ways. Definitely the worst nightmare for actually aware parents
When I first watched Scream 1996 on Friday, September 13, 2013 at age 9, I saw Tatum's kill scene, and I said garage doors can't do that.
Your review of Jaws got me. Talking about the mayor, still being the mayor. Smh...we've sent drones to Mars for goodness sakes, yet the smallest things are our Achilles heel. I truly believe that mankind will extinct itself, no super volcano or meteorite the size of texas, just good ol' human ingenuity.
When I was watching speak no evil, I was furious at how absolutely stupid the parents were. There’s one point where they actually escape and they go back because of the dumbest reason ever. I was ready to punch my tv and go buy a new one.
One of my picks: The scene in 'Scream 2' where the two girls are in the crashed cop car with Ghostface, and Ghostface has been knocked unconscious, and the two girls have to crawl over Ghostface to get out of the car..... but neither one of them takes a second to just grab the damned knife and remove the mask to disarm and expose the killer that's stalking them??
They could’ve grabbed the gun from the cop on the hood. It’s still in his hand. They could’ve shot Ghostface, then take off his mask. It’s the dumbest decision Sydney Prescott has ever made.
What about Wrong Turn 4 where the cast managed to lock the cannibals, but decide not to kill them? That actually pissed me off.
Oh my god I forgot about that shit! that was so mind fuckingly stupid I didn’t feel bad at all for any of them when they all died
Speak No Evil was so effective for me cause it was the most effective example of characters almost being in the clear...but they make that one move, and it's like F***
Here are some decisions that I think could've made the list:
- Putting your hands in the Razor Box Trap - Saw II (2005)
- Not attempting to leave - Midsommar (2019)
- Watching a video tape, even though you know that it is cursed - The Ring (2002)
- Most of the decisions - The Zombie Diaries (2006) *
If I were Tatum, I'd try to stand and fight Ghostface as best I could. The frustrating thing is that she seemed to be doing okay against him until she tried to squeeze through that kitty-door. Ghostface was clumsy AF, so it's not inconceivable that she might have just kept pelting him with beers, and with numerous other objects that would probably be available to her, until he was incapacitated.
Not only did Tommy Jarvis dig up Jason's body to torch it, but he did so during a thunderstorm. Like, dude... just wait a day or two until it clears up.
And at night! Who goes to dig up a corpse of a killer at night?
@@lennypearlsomeone who doesn’t want to get caught?
@@lennypearlliterally everyone who’s ever dug up a corpse did so at night
Violence against kids and babies always ends the movie for me as well. Once u have kids I think horror just isn't fun when it involves harm to children
Child and animal abuse in horror movies is definitely not the thing I what to see in these movies.
I think it's fine as that stuff happens and when it does in a movie you really feel like anything can happen.
I’m gonna throw in Pet Semetary. Louis saw what happened when Church came back but he went ahead and buried Gage. Then Louis saw what happened when Gage came back, so what does he do? He buries her anyway….yet again.
Think his dumb logic was that if he buries her immediately instead waiting like with others she would be different. Still dumb
That's kind of the whole point and the real horror of the story. What would you do in that situation? Most people would say no, but extreme grief can drive you crazy. Also, in the book it's heavily implied that the burial ground (or Wendigo) manipulates Louis and Jud.
Now what’s dumber, the mayor not closing the beach, or all the people that watched that kid get ripped to shreds going BACK to the beach?!!
Thank you for doing these videos - its been a really rough week and your witty repartee makes it a lot easier to handle things. Thank you
Digging up Jason really deserves to be number 1 😂
The one that trips over air and stays crawling🤣 doesn’t get back up
Friday the 13th final chapter when Rob and Trish are going up the stairs in the basement. Jason grabs Trish's ankle, but gets away. They have a chance to run up the stairs to escape Jason but Rob decides to go downstairs to confront Jason only to be hacked to death without Rob putting any effort to fight back. "Run Trish! He's killing me! Run!!!"
I get your anger toward Speak No Evil, but that was the point of the movie. Dealing with awkward social situations, not handling them well. He tries harder near the end to get away.
Shiiiiiit. They’re home free and they turn around to get a fucking stuffed animal.
Giving the first time a pass, Laurie throwing away the knife the second time (after thinking she had killed him earlier) and, doubling down, having the audacity to turn her back on MM (again, he had arose earlier after you thought you killed him) is frustrating (despite the film being an otherwise masterpiece)
How about juno admitting to Sarah she slept with her husband in the middle of finding cannibal creatures 😂
Juno deciding to take the group inside an uncharted cave in the first place was a huge mistake. Caving is dangerous even without creepy monsters trying to kill you.
She didn't. One of her friends told Sarah. Still really senseless timing though
Holy crap, I forgot Glen Howerton was in The Strangers. I love Always Sunny.
The Strangers will give Glen a chance to fight back, but he won't because of the implication.
@@alienboy1322 Easily on my top 10 favorite episodes 😂😂😂
Cody I’m gonna respectfully disagree with you on the garage kill bc in real life Rose managed to fit through that dog door in real life and they stapled her to the garage door if I remember correctly to make her stick to it. The door was locked, she couldn’t fight forever so it was a very desperate decision. The kill is creative when has a garage kill been used to kill someone before scream. One of the most stupidest decisions in horror which was a recent one was Jake believing chucky was actually good when everyone around him is telling him to kill that version of chucky. You should definitely make another video cause this was hilarious.
It was stupid but it wasn't the most stupid. I think that is why he made it number 10. She was definitely in Panic mode and just made a bad decision.
I think the main issue was that she was in a fairly junky garage, there was a wealth of makeshift weapons (a bike, a tire without the rim, unused beer cans, lawn chair). She probably had a better chance to just start throwing stuff. The wilder the better. There is a high chance killer could get knocked off balance or even severely injured themselves having to dodge projectiles. If killer is incapacitated, the ball is in her court, she can decide if she wants to finish killer off or run away.
That said the only other reason it might not be as stupid is because we as the audience see this junky garage, but she probably doesn't. Usually a movie room at night will usually be a dark room in real life so she probably wouldn't be able to see all her options in real life and her eyes would be drawn to a light source, doggy door and hence what happens.
Also I think the movie plays into her helpless nature. She has no idea of who or what is attacking her and obviously have any practical self defense knowledge of her own, so is obviously extremely scared and is in her own fight or flight mode. Her character just chooses the flight option, which isn't really available to her. Fight would have been a better option but it isn't her character which probably is because she probably never had a real fight in her life so it makes sense she would want to stick with what she is more comfortable with.
Actually, Tatum may not have been so dumb trying to fit through the doggie door. Rose McGowan not only got through the door, she kept getting through so easily that her struggles to appear stuck looked fake. They had to staple (or glue or tape, I can’t remember) her clothes to the door so that her struggle looked genuine.
Cody:Dumbest horror decisions
Me:The whole Friday the 13th franchise
*anyone with the Lament Configuration has entered the chat*
Hellraiser would be near the top for me - just stay away from the damn box!!
This is my new favorite list you've done and I really hope you do sequels to it. The Strangers is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. But the thing that always bothered me the most was after they accidentally shoot his best friend, they leave and abandon their plan to hide in a corner with a shotgun and wait for the strangers to come. It was a perfect plan. Just because they killed his friend, doesn't mean it doesn't work. It was the best option and advantage they had and instead of continuing to do it and stay safe they walk out and make themselves vulnerable again. Always annoyed the crap out of me. And omg yes!! I completely agree with you with Jeepers Creepers. So stupid!
I know Speak No evil is not a film for everyone, but I believe it’s intentional for the characters to act that way or do the stupid thing. They are spineless people and are pushovers. That first scene where bad guy asks if can have the chair is him basically testing him to see if they can be their next victims. The family are very innocent people and when faced with evil they don’t know how to react or deal with it and are too afraid to do anything. When they ask why the bad people are doing this they say cause you let me. also think the title of the film refers them not saying or speaking up enough for themselves. They don’t want to say anything bad or negative cause they are afraid. They won’t speak of evil.
Also applies to the kids when their tongues are cut off and they can’t warn the next victims.
How about literally every decision made in the last 20 minutes of Pet Sematary Bloodlines? 🤣🤣🤣
It’s not just Prometheus, Covenant has some incredibly dumb stuff going on. This time round the crew don’t even bother with helmets, they just stroll off the ship like they’re on a day trip to the beach. During the backburster scene when the woman slips on the blood, jams her foot in the door almost breaking her foot and then blows herself and the ship up with a shotgun…and of course the „take a look, it’s perfectly safe“ 🤦♂️
I’d put Quint smashing his ship’s radio to pieces with a baseball bat as another dumb decision in Jaws. His pride and stubbornness killed any chance of them being able to call for help and rescue when the Orca was sinking. It might have even prevented Quint’s death from being eaten by the shark as well.
It might not be the dumbest decision in horror, but I hate the fact that, in the original Halloween, Laurie abandons the 2 kids under her care to investigate what is happening to her friends across the street. That is not only dumb, but irresponsible. As a mother, I would never leave the house with my kids sleeping upstairs, even if I thought my friends were pulling some prank, let alone if I thought something bad might've happened to them.
Logic wise, it's silly but Rose could actually fit through the garage door lol.
Every Halloween movie after the first one where they don't just dome Michael in the skull is so stupid I can't even believe it.
We'll have to agree to disagree on Tatums death, I love that moment. Honestly, as much as I love Stus "death", it's a much sillier and unrealistic death. I'm with you on The Strangers though. I'm not sure why that movie gets so much love. It's just characters making bad decisions on top of bad decisions.
Speak no evil is so high on dumb decisions. At one point, they have LITERALLY LEFT THE HOUSE BECAUSE OF HOW WEIRD THINGS ARE AND GO BACK FOR A STUFFED ANIMAL
The blood pressure thing in Dawn Of The Dead OG had to have been there just because Tom Savini thought it would be a cool death.
100%. And it definitely was. Especially for back then when more of these kills were original. It gets away with it just because it's stupid fun with great effects
I'd like to point out a decision that I disagree is stupid in a movie that isn't actually mentioned here. I saw a review by a TH-camr of The Purge which made me angry. He said that the son made the dumbest decision in movie history by saving another character. I personally thought the son was the only character in the film acting like a decent human being.
one that i would add is in Saw II, when Addison sticks her hands into the razor box without thinking for even a millisecond, which would have given her the chance to see that the key to unlock it and get the antidote was right there the whole time.
"The Strangers". There's 3 creepy kids with knives in our yard. I have a shotgun. I THINK I SEE A FUCKING WAY OUT OF THIS!!!!
The Tatum kill was so stupid. The fact the the door even raised with her ass hanging from it was ridiculous.
I love The Strangers, but your description was spot on and also hilarious.
For me, the dumbest decision a character made in a horror film is when one of the characters in The Blair Witch Project lost their map. That was super infuriating for me.

As much has already been said, the idea that Victor Salva got to make a movie where one of the messages was "all of the horrible things wouldn't happen if people would mind their own business..." is something, indeed.
I have a friend that is so scared of demonic beings being summoned that she will not watch those movies in her house. She won't let her teen kids watch them either. She said that the movie might bring the demons to her house. She's 40 something and has never seen the Exorcist.

I think the criticism of reading the Necronomicon is weak. If I was in that situation, I wouldn't give a crap how scary the book looks. I'd be like "It's just a book" because I don't believe in ghosts and demons. It's only a dumb decision in hindsight. I feel like the decision needs to be clearly dumb when they make it and this doesn't fit that. By this logic, I could argue that any action that causes death is "a dumb decision." We can't always predict when something will be a bad decision. It's only dumb if it's clear at that moment. Why would they worry about reading the book if they're supposed to believably exist in the real world? I'd laugh if someone told me they wouldn't read a book because the outside looks freaky. I wouldn't assume demons are going to pop out and neither should the characters in Evil Dead.
The Decent 2 when the survivor from part 1 agrees to go back down to the cave system!!
One dumb character decision I don’t see much people talk about is the opening scene to one of the best zombie movies ever made, 28 Days Later. You have this group of animal activists who break into a lab to take chimpanzees with them and you have the only scientist in the lab telling them that the chimps are infected and only telling them that they’re infected with ‘rage’. The activists ignore him and open one of the cages, causing one of them to get bitten and infected, starting the outbreak and the events of the film. For as much I love the opening at how effective it is to start the movie off and introduce you to what the rage virus can do, I can’t help but admit how dumb not only the activists were at ignoring the scientist, but the scientist is also dumb for not further explaining what the virus is and what it can do if it infects humans, especially with how easy it was for the activists to break into the lab with no security to stop them. It is a believable enough set up for how the outbreak started, but it is without question dumb as hell how the outbreak could’ve been prevented if the activists listened to the scientist and the scientist explained what the rage virus is.

I always thought the Rose McGowen kill was stupid! I could have lived with her getting stuck, the door opening half way and then Ghostface walking over and slitting her throat while she was unable to escape. A really cool image of Ghostfaces reflection in her eye would have made that death justifiable.

Cody I just had my first kid! Any advice? I see you mention your family a lot, and it makes me appreciate family centered men like you and would love to take any advice you could give.
The Tatum kill holds a special place in my heart. It was the first time I’d ever seen anything in a movie that genuinely scared me. I know objectively it’s a ridiculous set of events that should be more funny than anything, but watching it at home, alone, in the dark, in my family’s living room with floor to ceiling windows, as a teenager, even while my brain was screaming at me that this was stupid and I should laugh, my heart was trying to beat out of my chest. The tension it builds is crazy on a first watch. It’s still a scene that activates my fight or flight like no other. But I do understand totally how it wouldn’t work for a lot of people. I really don’t even know why it works so well for me.
Im surprised the Saw 2 razor box trap didn’t make the list.
Agreed. Once the first hand is stuck, wouldnt you just use your other hand to open the blades enough to slip the first one out?
I'm gonna defend Tommy digging Jason up. Tommy had psychological issues after the events of Part 4, and it got so bad that by the time Part 5 happened, the dude was suffering from hallucinations and nightmares of Jason. It also didn't help that Roy Burns went on a copycat killing spree around this time, so that further worsened his issues to the point that Tommy had a psychotic breakdown and nearly killed Pam. Fast forward a few years, and Tommy wants to have some form of closure. He wants the hallucinations and nightmares to stop so he can actually move forward with his life. So, in his mind, burning Jason's body would give him that relief. Also, there's no way Tommy would've known that lightning would bring Jason back to life.
