      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.

    1.Any character that uses a weapon once then throws it down. Like a bat or any blunt weapon.
    2. When they hide from the killer and when the killer walks put of the room no matter how great the hiding spot is they leave it almost immediately after the killer walks out. At least wait like 30 minutes or something to make sure he is gone..
    3. When they knock the killer down they don't continue beating them with the weapon. Kinda like #1 they drop the weapon and rum.

    #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.

    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 😊

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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)

It might have even prevented Quint’s death from being eaten by the shark as well.

    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.
