Captain Karnage Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Got to watch the new Halloween movie and it was pretty good. It got me thinking, how long would I last if I were a character in a movie like it. I think I would last about 40 minutes before I would get killed off. I'd probably do something like check the closet only to be caught off guard and I'd get hurt, run until I thought I was safe only to be caught once I thought I was safe.

MacLovin Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'd be the second to last guy that gets killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geenoble Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'd probably think whatever was happening was someones attempt at a joke and walk outside to tell them it's not funny, and then die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefGuevara Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Horror movie protagonists tend to be dumb as rocks like all you gotta do is not go in the fucking graveyard or basement or whatever and you're good, let some other idiot deal with the ghost or whatever so uh, as someone who is just barely smarter than the average rock, I think I'd make it to the end Edited October 23, 2018 by ChefGuevara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us should survive. If we are smart enough to play Fire Emblem, we are smart enough to recognize danger and get the fuck out.

Acacia Sgt Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Or probably be among the collateral damage if it's something with a bigger range. I know that'd probably be my fate in a horror movie... or just background character that survives by virtue of not being anywhere relevant. Or is spared from any direct thing because I'd get a heart attack or something, saving them the trouble.

henrymidfields Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Meh, I have an aversion to anything that looks suspicious. I'll probably just ask either the SWAT team or the military and get the heck out myself. Leave dangerous situations to the pros. Of course, it's a different story if the horror was actively finding me in the first place. :P Edited October 23, 2018 by henrymidfields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Depends on what part of the horror genre we're talking about. If it's like a slasher film, like Scream of Halloween, i'd be smart enough to not get killed. There's this thing called 911. If it's supernatural horror, then it's a different story, as you can't deal with it through conventional means. I'd probably call a priest and even then, i'd likely only live as long as the supernatural evil wants me to. But that only assumes i'm dealing with the intangible. If it's like, a vampire, we all know how to kill one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwing Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Despite never having watched an actual horror movie or played a horror videogame (although I have played a few web games and Thief technically counts as one), I predict that I would either be: A. The random guy in the background that avoids the conflict entirely. B. The nameless guy who performs an epic heroic sacrifice that leads to the heroes winning, possibly becoming a memetic badass in the process. C. That guy who you hardly know that performs an epic heroic sacrifice, becoming memorable despite their small screen time. D. A main character that performs the heroic sacrifice, earning great sadness from the people like liked him, and at least some respect from the folks that didn't. E. The guy that actually bothers to call the police, and thus survives. F. The guy that bothers to call the police, but dies anyway. At least they gave the heroes a hope (and maybe a chance). H. The guy that dies because they tried to call the police because the monster was savvy. I. The guy that dies because they realize too late that it's not that kind of zombie. J. The guy that realizes that it's not that kind of zombie and thus quickly changes their tactics. Over the course of the movie, they become more and more creative with their traps and how they kill zombies. K. The guy that pulls a "taking you with me" with the monster. L. The guy that pulls a "taking you with me" with the monster by pressing the self-destruct button on the spaceship. M. The guy that viciously beats the monster to death, scaring the audience with their brutality more than the monster ever did. Did I miss anything?

Blasied Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 During one of those camping trips the class went on in high school we all started speculating how things would go if it turned into a horror movie. When I asked who would be the first to die, everyone said I would be the first unless I was the murderer. I do have something of a habit of wandering off without telling anyone or anyone noticing and that's more likely to get me killed than save me in a horror movie structure. I think the high school assessment still holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidereal Wraith Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) I’d be to busy murdering horny teenagers to think up a good answer to the question at hand. Edited November 6, 2018 by Wraith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm a coward, I'd probably have a heart attack and drop dead if I realized I was in a horror movie scenario. The killer wouldn't even have to get to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
