[Music]
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
examining those choices that helped
characters and horror movies make it out
alive nor at least survive for a little
while if a particular character or a
moment you’re thinking of isn’t here be
sure to check out our original list of
the top 10 smartest decisions in horror
movies as expected
spoilers follow the wall
number 10 adapting to having one leg
planet terror some would consider losing
a leg during a zombie apocalypse
troublesome others might see it as an
opportunity as the ultimate exercise in
ingenuity planet terrors cherry darling
uses her stump to her advantage multiple
times throughout the film how you may
ask first by using a wooden table leg to
take down Quentin Tarantino and then at
the film’s climax when she brilliantly
straps on a minigun to take down hordes
of infected baddies
utilizing her skills as a dancer to
incorporate a floor routine into the
massacre ultimately makes her
unstoppable and leads to one of the most
ridiculous moments ever put to screen
[Music]
number nine turning on the car lights
lights out when you’re dealing with the
literal personification of fear of the
dark there’s not much you can do when
it’s nighttime
dianna can only be seen in the dark and
that’s where her power comes from Brett
is warded and attacked at every turn in
his attempts to escape the nightmare
creature
however he uses his phone as a light to
ward Dianna away only to be caught again
outside this time however his car is
parked in front of him and he activates
the headlights with his keys quick
thinking Brett
number eight burning the book as a
distraction misery
this time we’ll need two glasses there’s
only so much you can do when you’re
immobilized and no one knows you’ve been
kidnapped
sure Paul’s last attempted escape isn’t
as elaborate as his previous ideas but
it works
trapped and forced to write a sequel to
his captors favorite story Paul ends up
burning it right after he’s finished it
destroying all the answers it had to any
unanswered questions I learned from you
while Annie desperately tries to remedy
this situation Paul uses the distraction
to finally end the nightmare he’s
endured number seven setting a trap
the final girls to be honest it would be
pretty cool if we could be transported
into our favorite movies wouldn’t it
unless it’s a horror movie and you could
actually die
trapped inside the silver screen max and
her friends must find a way to defeat
their masked Terrorizer Billy they
decide to set a trap for him
making weapons luring him out and
attacking him while it is a good plan
involving flaming arrows and a bucket of
gasoline a lot of friendlies died but at
least we get the kick-ass
self-referential slow-mo escape scene
number 6 giving himself the chainsaw
hand Evil Dead – Dead by Dawn when
you’ve lost a limb there’s no need to
completely lose hope forced to chop off
his own possessed hand ash makes the
most out of the situation after all he
still has to face off against the
Deadites right when a demonic force is
physically and psychologically
destroying you you’re gonna have to be a
little unhinged yourself to fight back
and sometimes that means sticking the
stump of your own hand into a freakin
chainsaw let’s hope he doesn’t get an
itch number 5 sleeping with a prostitute
it follows being stalked by a
murderously malevolent presence that was
passed to you through sexual intercourse
has got us suck what’s even worse is
that the only way to get rid of it is by
siccing it on someone else again through
sex however when it kills that person
you’re right back to square one because
then it’s gonna set its sights on you
again so how do you buy yourself some
time or help the demons progress
altogether sleep with a prostitute which
is exactly what one of the protagonists
does problem solved as long as you don’t
think about how many people are dying in
your place all you can do is pass it
along somewhere else
number four putting on the sweater
Friday the 13th part 2 don’t you joke
well mommy is pleased Norman Bates
Freddy Krueger Jason Voorhees all the
best horror movie villains have mommy
issues however there are ways to use
that to your advantage to beat the bad
guy Ginny is being chased around Camp
Crystal Lake by Jason as per use when
she finds herself an altar dedicated to
his dead mother
Ginny ingeniously decides to
psychologically mess with the mask
wearing killer by convincing him that
she
is mrs. Voorhees by donning her sweater
persuading him to let his guard down for
what she hopes is enough time for her to
administer a killing blow thanks
unfortunately he realizes it’s just a
ruse but he meets his end shortly
thereafter anyway or does he number
three using everything to get the upper
hand hush
I think being completely deaf certainly
isn’t gonna do you any favors when
you’re being terrorized in your home by
a crossbow wielding invader Matty uses
anything she can grab to defend herself
and in her case doing so is her only
chance at survival
whether it’s insecticide or corkscrews
are using a specialized smoke alarm to
deafen the assailant it all ultimately
helps when she finally kills him as a
writer Maddie is always reworking
scenarios in her head luckily for her
she found the one where the hero lives
in the end number two pushing the system
purge button the cabin in the woods this
movie contains almost every horror movie
cliche in the book and it’s damn
entertaining for that exact reason after
dana and marty find themselves pinned
down by a dozen armed and dangerous
security forces there’s only one thing
left to do push the system purge button
sure in retrospect it doesn’t seem like
a great alternative but it appears to
work out okay for them
[Music]
the button releases all the captive
monsters and boy did they have a great
time tearing everyone to pieces giving
Dana and Marty time to escape it begs
the question though why does this button
even exist in the first place number one
picking cotton out of the chair get out
get out scrit achill reception was well
deserved the film delves into issues of
racism as well as themes typical to the
horror genre while featuring a main
character that is far from clueless in
almost every regard right from the
get-go Chris has a strange feeling about
the family he’s staying with when your
possible future mother-in-law is a
hypnotist who wants to make you docile
enough for a brain transplant there’s
only one thing you can do make sure you
don’t listen to her Chris literally
picks cotton to keep himself alive by
using his chair stuffing to block his
ears and then breaks free to take his
revenge
ingenious do you agree with our picks
