Dumb Mistakes Horror Movie Victims Make

Horror movie victims are generally not a real intelligent bunch. They constantly put themselves in harm's way and cause us to yell expletives at the screen to try to save them. The truth is, horror movies would not be the same without these idiotic stunts that people do. Here are some of the dumbest mistakes that you will see horror movie victims make on a regular basis:

Immediately Head off Alone - Every horror movie victim that gets offed because they decided to go think about things in the middle of the woods deserves to die. When a serial killer/monster is after you and your friends, it is no time to go all Dr. Phil with yourself. Stay in a group and you have a better chance of survival, dummy!

Have Sex with the First Person Available - What is it about horror movie victims and sex? Getting naked, taking a bath, having sex, making out and anything else that will remotely make you sexual in any way will get you killed. The movie monsters do not like naked people. Keep your clothes on, and you might have a chance at survival.

Pull a Practical Joke - Serial killers or monsters do not have a sense of humor. If you are the joker in the bunch, then you will almost certainly meet your demise quickly and without any hesitation. Pulling a practical joke in a horror movie is like begging for your death scene.

Twist an Ankle - Again, this is a death warrant in the horror movie. Without fail, a person that is being chased will trip over the only rock on the path and twist an ankle. They will then "struggle" to their feet and fall again. Then they will climb into some obvious structure (tent, tree, shed, car, etc) to await their final demise. The horror movie monster is often already within said structure and waiting on their stupidity.

Go Swimming - What does all the monsters have against swimming I would like to know? Whatever the reason, every single person that goes into any form of water is sure to die. This includes bath tubs, lakes, oceans and mud puddles. Stay out of the water!

Do Not Investigate Strange Sounds - Why is it when a horror movie victim hears something they have to check it out? It makes no difference if they just found their best friend slaughtered or not. They want to know what made that noise. What do they think made that noise?

While these are not the only mistakes that horror movie victims make, it is the most common. What other mistakes can you think of?
