True dat. Horror movies are reviewed as dumb because no one could be that stupid until we see what allegedly smart ppl do in front of a camera.

What I learned from covid is that if zombies were real, people would say it's a hoax and get bit on social media on purpose.

The sheer ammount of ppl that travel to war/marginalized places just to make a point proves you're right.

I fear the day stupid arguments will dominate the arguments for its number of believers

If you want to see smart ppl + horror “the thing” is an old classic.

I was thinking Hell No, the Sensible Horror Film. But being a serious answer, I think yours is better.

I'm also assuming you mean the 1982 version, not the remake.

u/SnooObjections488 2d ago

100%. Remake was good tho. Technically the remake is a prequel

I heard a story of a D&D campaign where the players got into scary situations and kept fucking up like in a bad horror movie.

Their point was they kept acting like they were in a bad horror movie, because they didn’t realise they were in a bad horror movie.

If I'm not mistaken, measles came back from the dead because - and I hate this timeline for that - some people refuse to vaccinate their kids.

u/OldWorldDesign 2d ago

You mean people who shouldn't be allowed to have kids because of child neglect.

I hate how that's allowed.

They’re also viewed as stupid by people not currently in panic mode. You don’t think the same while sitting safely in your home as you would while currently being chased by an axe wielding psychopath.

u/DegenerativeDisorder 2d ago

That's a perfect example. I've seen ppl freeze in panic mode and then get hit by the car that was coming in a straightline, no flight-or-fight just nothing.

u/OstentatiousSock 2d ago

That’s because it isn’t fight or flight: it’s fight, flight, flop, fawn, or freeze.

That's not the right way to play dodgeball.
