10 Smartest Horror Movie Decisions (That Still Got People Killed)

Freddy vs. Jason might be a battle between the two of the biggest and baddest big bads in horror, but there's still a bunch of mortals messing around the edges of their showdown that demand some screen time. Hey, what's a horror movie without some humans to pick off, after all?

A group of teenagers are the warm up rounds for Freddy and Jason's bloody battling here, with Kelly Rowland making an appearance as Kia. Now, Kia makes a stand at an integral moment to distract Freddy Krueger from killing her pals, using the power of humiliation to render him powerless as she squashes the fear that fuels him. It's a neat trick, and one that should help Jason finish him off or at least get some advantage over the blade-fingered menace - if only Jason was in on the plan.

Her destiny is all but sealed when Jason creeps up behind Kia and punts her into a tree. Where he could have taken on a weakened Freddy from Kia's clever belittling of Freddy's wiener, his murderous tendencies took hold and finished the poor woman off instead.
