I love how some of these people know to make actually smart decisions instead of falling for old tricks and traps!!!!❤

[@Shadowcat753]

Zombieland - almost the entire rule set, but my personal favorite of the Double-Tap. Always head-shot zombies people! Also, selling Chucky to the mom in the first place - sure, the homeless man didn't know Chucky was possessed but he also didn't end up getting killed by Chucky. As a retail employee, I personally did this to a random family with a seemingly possessed Pokemon plushie because I'm not paid enough to potentially get mauled (which is why I have trouble with Ash's favorite Pokemon). Scream 5 & 6 - Sam for going full out rather than just "self-defense" only, make sure all Ghost-Faces are down.

‘Planet Terror’, one of 8 most favorite zombie movies of all time.

[@caseymacmacl7463]

15:15 "Graboids cannot fly." should be "Graboids cannot fly YET." because these creatures have 4 stages of life and, in the end stage, they CAN fly. The flying graboids are introduced in Tremors 3: Back To Perfection. They're called Ass Blasters and they lay the eggs that hatch into graboids that turn into shriekers before becoming ass blasters. 19:55 Hannibal didn't escape from upgraded prison digs. He was being held, temporarily, while being transferred to speak to Catherine Martin's mother. That makes his escape both more and less impressive. He was able to escape from a cell he'd only been in for a few hours instead of one he had the chance to study for a while but it was a much less secure cell than one an actual prison would have had the chance to prepare ahead of time if he was going to be staying long-term.

In the Predator film series, humans have used guns to harm the Predators, but it's often portrayed as a difficult task. The Predators are shown to have advanced technology, including armor that can withstand bullets and other weapons. In the first Predator film, the human characters use a variety of weapons, including guns, in an attempt to kill the Predator. While they are able to injure the Predator, it ultimately proves to be a formidable opponent. In the end, the Predator is defeated not through traditional weapons, but through the use of improvised traps and weapons. In subsequent films in the series, the humans continue to use guns against the Predators, but the Predators' advanced technology and abilities make it a challenging task. In some cases, the humans are able to harm the Predators with guns, but it is usually through the use of specialized ammunition or weapons. Overall, while humans can use guns to harm the Predators in the Predator film series, it is often portrayed as a difficult and challenging task due to the Predators' advanced technology and abilities. Disney’s Predator is for Anti Predator Lore that is fact.

[@harlowitter3060]

More proof that cunning and resourcefulness are your greatest weapons in any horror scenario. Two of my favorites are the Mom from Gremlins and Danny from The Shining. In Gremlins, the mom already has a knife out ready to fight the moment she knows shit's about to go down, and straight up kills three Gremlins using various kitchen appliances and shielding herself with a folding chair. Danny, while being chased by a deranged Jack through the hedge maze, doubles back and covers his footprints in the snow, hides in the hedges until Jack passes him by, and then books it out of there, following the tracks back to the start of the maze.

The smartest decision is for the last guel to pack a 1911 .45 and a couple of spare loaded magazines.

[@TSierra]

The Prey movie was cool but I’ve seen a lot of people saying that they had a problem with a little girl killing a predator that killed a bear with one punch. Now that I look at it, it does make sense. Some KZbin channels said that it would’ve been better if a man that’s a leader of the tribe (or something like that) killed the predator together with the little girl.

[@sister_bertrille911]

First, she wasn't a little girl - she was a young woman training to be a hunter. Second, her brother, the strongest and best hunter in the tribe, did go toe to toe with the Predator and lost, not because he wasn't a better fighter - he was and was winning - but because he didn't account for the Predator's technology. Before he died, he told Naru that she saw things others didn't, and in the end, that's what gave her the advantage. Same with Dutch in the first film, who won using his brains, not his brawn.
