10 Smartest Decisions Made In Horror Movie Sequels

10. Heading For The Mall - Dawn Of The Dead

Though it doesn't feature any of the same characters from George A. Romero's 1968 Night of the Living Dead, 1978's Dawn of the Dead is considered a spiritual sequel, as well as being the second in a large series of "of the Dead" films made by the horror maestro.

In the wake of a zombie apocalypse, four survivors team up  to find a safe haven. Whilst flying around in their commandeered helicopter, the group spot the perfect place to hide out: an abandoned shopping mall.

In terms of zombie refuges, it doesn't get much better than this. Large building with a fortified entrance? Check. Good supply of food, drink, and other necessities? Check. Chance to run round all the stores you weren't allowed in as a kid? That's a check right there.

Holing up in the mall was a genius idea that has been copied many times in subsequent zombie fiction and one that keeps the group safe for a majority of the film. Sure, it all backfires on them when a group of bikers break in, but before that, things were going swell.
