Horror movies are generally full of scenes of baffling mistakes that usually leaves us all making a blaspheming remark at the big screen. There’s no denying that horror movies would not be the same without these foolish stunts made by dull-witted, soon-to-be victims of a horrifying death scene.
Here are 10 highly stupid commonly occurring horror movie mistakes that people would never make. Ever.
5. Watch Where You’re Going!
A classic mistake made in almost every on-foot chase scene in horror movies. It always seems very promising as you somehow manoeuvre a few yards over whatever’s trying to kill you and dart out into the wilderness. Everything seems to be looking good and you look like you might get away, but like a complete idiot, you don’t actually look in the direction where you are running. This results in running straight back into the killer, tripping over and hurting yourself, twisting your ankle which allows the killer to catch up with you, or basically anything that ends in a fatality. You get the point.

3 is slightly incorrect. it sometimes happens when the said victim has no idea that are about to die or the fact there is a killer after them, so they would investigate, as i would. your list is also a top 5, but at the start you say its a top 10.
Yes i have acknowledged my mistake – it should have said 5

What film is in picture number 2?
PS: Good list
Number 2 on the list is Friday the 13th
I have to say that Number 3 and Number 2 don’t apply at all in most cases. If the killer is not yet known to the victims these things become every day things. And usually splitting up is circumstantial in slasher films. The so called ‘dumb’ slasher films actually reason most of these points out relatively easily, its other things that they fail to.
Also, Scream covered all the points about the phone call during said phone call. When the killer has your boyfriend and will kill him if you hang up again, you’re gonna stay on the line, aren’t you?
