I'm looking for the dumbest moments in horror films. They don't have to be big films either. They can be either actions that characters make, leaps in logic, horrible plot twists, odd dialogue that makes no sense, etc...

As examples: In Friday the 13th part 2, a girl is looking for a guy in a wheelchair...She looks for him UPSTAIRS, calling his name (he can't go up there, dur) and she gets murdered up there.

In Part 7, a girl gets all dressed up to impress a guy at a party, and she goes looking for him IN THE WOODS outside the house that the party is in. For absolutely no reason whatsoever. She knows he is at the party, but she walks into the woods and starts calling his name. Pretty funny.

Also, Troll 2 has some winning moments as well.

Anyway, those are just examples, you might have much better ones than I do. So, list away! Any film, big budget, low budget, well known or completely obscure.

Kudama

Not really a leap in logic, but one of the dumbest (and funniest) scenes I can think of right now: The part in Leprechaun in Space where the space marines blow up the leprechaun and the one guy pisses on the corpse, allowing the leprechaun to possess his dick.

WTF?

I just realized that my first two posts today involve pissing.

Filmmaker

Oh, how about the one where people kept giving money hand-over-fist to make THE BLAIR WITCH BLAHJECT a mega-hit?

The Bus

Hype-at-the-time and simlarity to The Last Broadcast aside, The Blair Witch Project was an interesting film. Deserving of the accolades and box office gross?

You were close though. The dumbest horror movie moment is when someone said, "Let's make a sequel to it."

Filmmaker

Mmm, maybe the credits...maybe...if I was drunk...

Late period Hammer film The Satanic Rites of Dracula has two of the dumbest vampire death scenes ever. First, a bunch of lady vamps get killed when the sprinkler system goes off, as running water supposedly kills vampires. The mighty Dracula is then destroyed because he runs into a thorn bush. I could probably killed a vampire from that movie with a sharpened pencil.

Any Stalk-n-Slash flick where the would-be victim knocks the killer out cold or thinks that the killer is dead and then walks away. Dude, that guy just murdered 18 people, make sure he's dead!

madcougar

Wow. Where do you start? Seriously, where would horror movies be without really stupid moments?

eiker_ir

that's one thing i liked in Jeepers Creepers 2, at the end that guy just beats the shit out of him after knocking him down.

Friday the 13th: Jason takes Manhattan was on TV regularly and there were quite a few dumb moments in that. Why didnt they just get in a cab and drive away. Instead they just walked down the street and Jason kept finding them in a crowded city. No one said anything or did anything.

What about in Friday the 13th Part IV...

"He's killing me! He's killing me!" or something to that effect.

What murder victim says that? It should've been..."mrgls slurp, ahahhahha!"

OldBoy

you don't get a lot of "dur" these days. too bad, it's a word that hadn't peaked yet.

Of course then you end up with a scene where the victim walks sloooowly up to the killer, who suddenly opens his eyes, sits up, pulls out the blade (or whatever) and the chase is back on.

Remember kids. If you manage to knock the killer down, take the nearest blunt object and quick as you can pummel him into a bloody puddle before you even think of walking away.

In Brides of Dracula Peter Cushing (Van helsing ) kills the lead vampire by jumping on to the blades of a windmill to make a shadow of a cross on the ground there by killing the vampire who is standing on the ground. I love this movie one of my all time favorites but the ending is less to be desired.

BuddyRevell

LOL. I love that part. It makes me laugh everytime.

But your quote isn't any better. Who in there right mind would make death sounds and laugh at the very end?

ShaunoftheDead

The dumbest moment was that more than half the movie didn't even take place in Manhattan! Dumb started with the title.

Yeti4623

And right after that, the girl goes back down into the basement, where she knows Jason is.

Trout

Hell of the living dead. A SWAT guy puts on a tutu and does a little song and dance number before getting eaten by the zombies...he even puts his gun down to pick up a cane. Great movie with a great WTF moment.

I think the DUMBEST horror movie moment was Hostel.

The Monkees

I can't believe you said, without even seeing that I told someone I was going to post that exact same thing.

Peep

I think that there was a moment in "Pieces" where a cop is talking to a forensics expert. The cop gestures to a heap of chopped up body parts, produces a bloody chainsaw and asks something like "could this chainsaw have been responsible for that?"

You're my new best friend.

Dawn of the Dead - 1978 version

ChristopherS

The director said this scene came from something he read in a newspaper where a guy was being murdered and actually yelled this to get people to notice and help him.

Seantn

He also was yelling "Please stop killing me...please!", which is actually very sad.
