Just once I would like to see them make a Halloween movie filled with gun guys, rednecks, concealed carry characters, etc. Especially the redneck route I think would be entertaining. Stupid yes, but seriously, how much more stupid could it be? I for one think it would be great entertainment. I know Michael Myers is supposed to be unkillable and all that. But still, it would be a fun change of pace!

There is an armed group of rednecks in Halloween 4. There's a scene where they shoot at a..., uh, "shape" in the bushes, but they end up killing an innocent local. They're joined by the state police at the end, but of course it's to no avail.

Well I guess that figures. That is typically how gun guys are portrayed--trigger-happy and undisciplined.

Really, almost every non-spirit/ghost horror movie would be over in the first act if the protagonist(s) was/were appropriately armed.

I just watched a movie titled "The Ritual" in which four guys hiking through some woods are victimized by a monster vaguely the size and shape of a large moose. I couldn't help thinking how quickly the monster would have been dispatched if even one of the guys was carrying a decent handgun or shotgun.

How about this scene from Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday? Once again, it doesn't really stop him.

They don't make that movie, because it would be over five minutes in. Then it just becomes a police procedural movie. The horror of paperwork, the terror of interviewing the would-be killer's friends and family, spooky evidence bags!
