In this book he learns exactly how to prepare a devils ritual to gain a curse known as “Weslerberrys Haunting” (Weslerberry being the fictional town that they are living in.) This also, which we find out in the end of the cinematic showing, finds how to reverse the curse, saving multiple of his acquaintances even if it had made the status of some others go from alive to deceased.

Agreed, she should've sacrificed herself and her friend, not drag the whole world down with her! Maybe they chose that ending cuz they wanted to keep the door open for sequels.

[@anaghaanantharaman6408]

It was honestly the stupidest decision made by any protagonist EVER. She's not smart for doing that, she's incredibly foolish because now she's gonna have to watch her back and possibly not talk to anyone for the rest of her life. She ruined herself and the entire world. Although, it was horrifying to see her do that, it makes for a very good sequel.

[@BlenderStudy]

10:31 Aliens (1986) is my favorite Alien franchise movie of all..!! The coolest of all Alien series of movies. :)

[@WillieManga]

My favorite has to be from The Blob 1988. Curiosity killed the cat, or rather, the hermit. The Blob's first victim unfortunately sealed his fate when he tried to examine the killer jell-o. But when he did get the monster on his arm, one clever tactic he attempted was to amputate it, which was a bold move in hindsight on account of what happens to him when he failed to.

[@Punisher6791]

I gotta say, I think you're being a little harsh on the characters. Call it "the law of unintended consequences" or just not being able to see the future. A lot of these people did the best they could under the circumstances. And you can't entirely blame them when the villain(s) suddenly retaliates by going full berserker with mass casualties. Also, let's especially cut some slack to those who basically made a choice to sacrifice themselves for the rest of the group (RIP B. D. Wong). Thanks for reading. ✌❤
