The Door Is Still Open...
The next time you're watching a horror movie and somebody makes a decision that seems completely insane, remember:
They're not necessarily stupid.
They're simply following the ancient and sacred traditions of the horror genre.
Ignore the warning.
Open the door.
Read the book.
Enter the basement.
Split up.
Investigate the noise.
Forget your flashlight.
And whatever you do...
never, ever say “I'll be right back.”
Because somewhere, a horror villain just heard you.
What Horror Logic Drives You Crazy?
Now it's your turn. What's the most ridiculous thing you've learned to accept in horror movies or games? Is it the endlessly rechargeable flashlight? The mysteriously useless police department? Characters investigating noises that sound like Satan dragging a piano down the stairs?
Leave a comment and tell us the horror cliché that makes you yell “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T DO THAT!” at your screen.
Because around here, bad decisions are practically a food group.
