Zombieland - almost the entire rule set, but my personal favorite of the Double-Tap. Always head-shot zombies people! Also, selling Chucky to the mom in the first place - sure, the homeless man didn't know Chucky was possessed but he also didn't end up getting killed by Chucky. As a retail employee, I personally did this to a random family with a seemingly possessed Pokemon plushie because I'm not paid enough to potentially get mauled (which is why I have trouble with Ash's favorite Pokemon). Scream 5 & 6 - Sam for going full out rather than just "self-defense" only, make sure all Ghost-Faces are down.
The smartest decisions would be half of these people not entering the haunted house or touching the haunted object😅😅😅.

The smartest decision in every horror film is to always stay in a group, and never split up and never stay behind. Also, attack the killer together with any weapon, like guns, clubs or bladed weapons.

I think you should watch silence of the lambs there are so many smart decisions made in th3 movie
‘Planet Terror’, one of 8 most favorite zombie movies of all time.
The movie Prey (2022) had a whole lot Smarter decision. Then the last Predator movie did! Thank goodness for, Naru.
YES!! So glad you guys are doing multiple parts of top 10s again! Even better now 20s! Here's to hoping you continue to do more videos like this. Maybe do the same for older videos and lists. Feeling so much Nostalgia with this!
I like that some of these are smart decisions by the villains
15:15 "Graboids cannot fly." should be "Graboids cannot fly YET." because these creatures have 4 stages of life and, in the end stage, they CAN fly. The flying graboids are introduced in Tremors 3: Back To Perfection. They're called Ass Blasters and they lay the eggs that hatch into graboids that turn into shriekers before becoming ass blasters. 19:55 Hannibal didn't escape from upgraded prison digs. He was being held, temporarily, while being transferred to speak to Catherine Martin's mother. That makes his escape both more and less impressive. He was able to escape from a cell he'd only been in for a few hours instead of one he had the chance to study for a while but it was a much less secure cell than one an actual prison would have had the chance to prepare ahead of time if he was going to be staying long-term.

Top Ten Dumbest Ideas in Horror Movies that actually Worked
I thought the girl in terrifier 2 was smart. When Art tried to suffocate her with a plastic bag, I was happy to see that she poked a hole in the mouth part of the bag with her hands. I've seen too many movies where Noone tries that and they just die
Prey was an amazing prequel of Predator 🙂. I enjoyed it .
Erin and Naru are both smart and badass final girls.
Yeah, Hannibal's SUCH a genius, it's scary xwx;
In the Predator film series, humans have used guns to harm the Predators, but it's often portrayed as a difficult task. The Predators are shown to have advanced technology, including armor that can withstand bullets and other weapons. In the first Predator film, the human characters use a variety of weapons, including guns, in an attempt to kill the Predator. While they are able to injure the Predator, it ultimately proves to be a formidable opponent. In the end, the Predator is defeated not through traditional weapons, but through the use of improvised traps and weapons. In subsequent films in the series, the humans continue to use guns against the Predators, but the Predators' advanced technology and abilities make it a challenging task. In some cases, the humans are able to harm the Predators with guns, but it is usually through the use of specialized ammunition or weapons. Overall, while humans can use guns to harm the Predators in the Predator film series, it is often portrayed as a difficult and challenging task due to the Predators' advanced technology and abilities. Disney’s Predator is for Anti Predator Lore that is fact.
the alternate ending to Curse of Chucky, that was pretty smart, and cathartic for anyone who's been traumatized by chucky
I haven’t watched this video yet but I have a feeling Final Destination will be on here
never drag the barrel or muzzle of a gun on the ground it will get clogged and backfire

More proof that cunning and resourcefulness are your greatest weapons in any horror scenario. Two of my favorites are the Mom from Gremlins and Danny from The Shining. In Gremlins, the mom already has a knife out ready to fight the moment she knows shit's about to go down, and straight up kills three Gremlins using various kitchen appliances and shielding herself with a folding chair. Danny, while being chased by a deranged Jack through the hedge maze, doubles back and covers his footprints in the snow, hides in the hedges until Jack passes him by, and then books it out of there, following the tracks back to the start of the maze.
Another smart decision I would count was the boyfriend from lights out using both his phone light and the car light or the blood test from the thing.

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked Prey 👏👏
Mojo did already do a list of best combo actors pared in a movie, good chemistry and such, not romantic, I mean like Jeff goldblum and will Smith in independence day type thing, two actors who had great on screen interaction, long term, not like in one scene but whole movie characters that work great through a majority of the film when on together and with others on screen, idk if I'm wording it right
The smart choice in PREY was from the feral predator to go invisible Taabe was cooking him
In Evil Dead remake eveyone was actually pretty smart
Hannibal Lecter as number 1. Makes me feel like everything is gonna be okay.
The Fright Night remake doesn't get enough love, it was a fun movie!
Yet bad choices make great stories.
Its a good strategy to use your enemies weapons against you.
Number 15 she became has del gato from the grim adventures of Billy and Mandy, look it up the character is a reference to ash from the evil dead and other horror protagonists from other well known classic stories back then.

The movie 'Splinter' is full of good decisions. They're trapped in a convenience store while an alien creature is outside, and for the whole movie they answer every "why don't they do this" question the viewer asks. The writers definitely knew you'd come up with solutions, so they just had the characters try them.
We love you watchmojo
Graboids don't fly until the 3rd movie!
Oh poor Colin 😂😂
Concerning n°6, I think the remote controlled cars with bombs thing from Tremors 2 is better.
We need more smart characters in any movies
They already had Michael in Halloween Kills. They literally could have killed him there and then. The stupidity of that film made me not bother coming back to see Ends.
The smartest decision is always the people noping out early, like the guy in The Taking of Deborah Logan. If you have the chance, leave.
3:55 In what world was the body count only at 2 at this point in the movie?
Yooo I’m not watching anything else until I see Planet Terror! Wtf!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shredding Michael does nothing because what if the Cult of Throne gets their hands on the remains of his body? They can resurrected him
Can we get a best Angela Basset performances video???
HALLOWEEN ENDS was dumb how'd they know that was MICHAEL MYERS ?
Threatening Chucky was a very stupid idea. JUST. THROW. HIM. IN. THE. FIRE. The leg upgrade was also a stupid decision, but hilarious, and badass, and awesome, so I'll give it a pass but it doesn't belong here. Other than that, very much enjoyed this.
the only movies I've seen on this list are final destination, jaws and tremors, US looks somewhat interesting I might try and watch that but I'm not sure
You're Next was a brilliant film.
15:15 not yet anyways 😂 in the other parts, they do
The smartest decision is for the last guel to pack a 1911 .45 and a couple of spare loaded magazines. Nothing like 3 rounds of 230 grain +P jacketed hollow points to the pumpkin of a slasher/chainsaw/hammer wielding serial killer. And one more when he goes down to make sure he is planted correctly.
They did a perfectly good job of ruining the Michael Myers character. Once upon a time Michael was actually scary.
I don't think that gas line thing would work that way. The gas doesn't come from the house, and unless the house was already full of gas, it would just come back out the pipe. The fire might go down the to the source of the gas, or towards that, but I don't think it would blow up the house, would it?
"Rocket launcher attachment...."😅

No.9 is WRONG! The main character "injected" himself with a random injection and prays that it'll be the one they are looking for. COMPLETELY IGNORING THE FACT THAT 39/40 OF THEM MIGHT HAVE KILLED HIM OR GAVE HIM SOMEKIND OF OTHER PROBLEM. SO NO, THAT WAS A TERRIBLE MOVE! PURE LUCK!
