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

This one is a little different to the other entries in that the death of others was entirely intentional, with a little shout out to the horror movie characters that throw others under the bus to ensure their own survival. Cheap, but relatable, sometimes fear of death brings out the worst in people, which is horrible human nature at the end of the day.

Truth or Dare's Olivia takes that to a whole new level though, essentially dooming a large proportion of the population to death by inviting them to a cursed version of the titular game.
