12 Horror Movie Idiots Who Caused Their Own Doom – WhatCulture

Whilst there have undoubtedly been some exceptions to this, horror isn't typically seen as a genre filled to the brim with capable and competent individuals.

Part of the enjoyment in the world of horror is seeing stupid people and stupider decisions punished. Films in the genre aren't like most others in the sense that if you mess up in a horror movie, you're probably going to feel the full force of your mistake via a gruesome kill or untold levels of destruction. There aren't any grand old wizards on hand to protect you from harm, there aren't any legendary Jedi Masters ready and available to part their wisdom and explain the best course of action, it's just you and your foe.

With that being said, as Scream taught us all, there are certain rules that you should look to follow if you hope to make it out of a horror film unscathed. From not messing around with obviously cursed objects, to actually trying to run away from your would-be killer, it's amazing how many characters there have been in horror movie history who have seen these rules as optional over the years.

Here's our take on the leading 12 horror movie idiots whose poor decision making brought about a lot of problems for them.
