I don’t watch horror films. And I always thought like Bruce Lee said in Enter the Dragon “Why don’t someone pull out a 45 and bang swettle it?” This video, the RPG was my favorite

Like Red’s Dad in Friday when presented with a ready to fight Debo “no” and retreat.

These horror movies always crack me up because they all do the stupid "lets go explore this creepy dark house and not run the EFFFF AWAY" crap.

They kinda sorta did with The Hunt.

“Why can't we just get in the running car?”

This phrase is a famous line from a GEICO insurance commercial that spoofs horror movie tropes, highlighting how characters often make absurdly poor decisions—like hiding behind chainsaws, instead of taking the logical escape route, such as getting into a running car to flee.

If you want to see a tropes turned on themselves horror movie give Tucker and Dale vs Evil a watch. Fun flick.

As an aside my wife and I were watching some cheesy horror movie on video about 25 years ago. She keeps “hearing noises” in the house and we keep pausing the movie. Finally I sigh, get up, go get a gun, sit it next to her and say “if a manic in a mask bursts through the bonus room doors….SHOOT HIM. Then shoot him again. Keep squeezing till he ain’t wheezing. Now can we finish the movie?”
