Thumbelina Girl 2007 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I can tell you what bugs me the most. The stairs are always by the front door. The victim is by his/herself in the house, hears a noise and locks the door. Then two seconds later the victim is running away from the big bad, and tries to open the door, but they cant. BUT THEY NEVER UNLOCK THE DOOR! What do they do? They run up the stairs! I mean seriously, come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 No no no! It's when they hear a scary noise/know the baddie is nearby and go forth to investigate... Does it never occur to them to stay low, stay quiet and stay alive??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I like scary movies, but one thing that really bothers me is when something in the movie is really scary, because it is mysterious, but then you see the thing fully, it loses it's mystique, and it is no longer scary. For instance, in "Jaws" the shark is really scary, but I think it becomes significantly less scary when the shark gets on the boat, and you can see it all. Or in "Signs" the alien in the cornfield and on the roof is really scary, but once it is in the house in the daytime, and you can see it, it isn't the least bit scary.

Shawna Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 how about the female victim always tripping and snapping a dainty ankle, and screaming prettily, while every hair stays perfectly in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbelina Girl 2007 Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I think that anything is scarier at night. I dont like it when they decide to go all defensive and load up with weapons and other equipment, but then when they use something, like an axe for example, they usually dont pick it back up to reuse it... another thing... THEY NEVER DIE!!! scary movies have been being made for years, yet one thing the characters never realize is that the big bad is NEVER DEAD!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 But you know what I hate the most? When they don't hear me yelling at the TV to turn around or run! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 they never seem to get the weapon either...they leave it laying right by the person they think is dead!... If I heard strange noises upstairs, I certainly wouldn't go up them to see what it was. or if i heard voices saying "GET OUT"...i think i would get the heck out, but noooo, they stay LOL the cars never seem to start when trying to get away... but i guess if we didnt have all these mishaps, then we wouldnt have a movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 The worst thing about a scary movie? Eight bucks for a bag of popcorn? And six for a POP? Almost caused me to faint. Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbelina Girl 2007 Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Don't forget the four bucks for the candy! lol No, what makes seeing scary movies at the theater is when you are sitting near stupid people who find the dumbest things scary. Like a door will shut and they will scream at the top of their lungs. That is sooo annoying. My mom jumps at everything too, like in House of Wax, the dog part, we saw it on the trailor, then in the theatre, she jumped and grabbed my arm at the same spot! I think I might still have a little bruise.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneTim Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 The people that throw popcorn at the back of my head when I make smartass comments in the theater. When I got out of AVP I had so much popcorn thrown at me you couldn't see my hair. It's their fault for going to see a sucky movie that I'm also going to see (I didn't voluntarily go, that movie was freaking awful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockTheNorth Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 When they have sequels Or worse, when the main character dies in the first one, only to come back to life in the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 The worst thing about scary movies is when they use the cheap loud noise trick to scare you. That is the easy way out...a good movie can scare you quietly. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I hate when people who don't like the movie make smartass comments during the movie, if I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Once in a while, the "scary movie" turns out to be...disgusting and boring! (A friend sent a box full of DVDs, and one of them was the Hollywood version of "The Ring.") Not only wasn't this "Ring" not scary, it was...D&B. The protagonists' solution to the problem was pure 1980's, where "looking out for #1" made them no better than Adolf Hitler's best. In the remake of "The Thing," the "last men standing" were members of "the greatest generation" who understood the "the needs of the many."

Shawna Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 the best of all scary movies - and Peaches, based on what you said, you'll agree - is "The Haunting" - the original in b/w. Not the remake. I was just little when I first saw that movie and now I watch it every time I know it's coming on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
