I absolutely hated the latest Halloween movie because of that. Oh a rural American town has a serial killer problem? Let's go out with baseball bats and hockey sticks. Motherfucker people go out with automatic rifles when an unknown car does a U turn using their driveway.

I'm pretty sure the creators of the original film almost wanted a parody of slasher films, which is why it's so over the top ridiculous at some points lmao
I watched Scary Movie before I watched Scream and I was surprised how similar they actually are. Of course Scary Movie dials the ridiculousness up to eleven, but Scream is just as much of a parody itself.
I'd say Scream veers much closer to satire than parody. It's more focused on the commentary than the comedy. It does make use of comedy, but it's not solely focused on just that.
I will never not laugh at the bong scene, the little echo he does haha.
Oh no he’s appeared in my home! I’ll stumble over furniture and throw 4lb items at them until cornering myself.
Honestly that is one of my favorite parts about the Scream movies. The victims never go down without a fight and make the killer look like a clumsy goofball lol
I have at least a dozen items in my house that I know I'm gonna be throwing at a burglar's face in case of a break in. I've lived in first floor units all my life too so I always have a Roman gladius by the window. It's not sharp, but it's metal and it's blunt.
Metal doesn't have to be terribly sharp too pierce flesh. As a 6 year-old, I accidentally stabbed myself with a cabinet handle that was extremely blunt. It's all about the ratio of force applied over an area. The most mall ninja shit sword will still cause potentially fatal injuries, it just wouldn't be a good battlefield weapon.
Ah but you're not taking into account:
A) very, very scary mask
B) there's more than one of them
I feel the same way about the mainline Halloween movies. Just put the escapee down, c'mon.
I mean, at least in Halloween it is HEAVILY implied that Mike has something supernatural going on with his durability.
"implied" doesn't he get stabbed and shot repeatedly and just walk it off?
The Shape gets shot and stumbles out a window in the first movie and he's gone before Loomis can check on him.
Yeah "implied" because it's never actually explained why he survived that stuff. There's lots of hyperbole with characters saying "He's not human!" and similar, but there aren't any actual answers. It could very well be that he's just the luckiest murderer alive with basically no pain reflex.
Some mace would ruin that guys year. Or at least the mask would come off immediately.
Every teenie slasher movie: "Hey we got half the football team and half the cheerleaders in a house with a killer who picks us off one by one. Let's split up!"
A knife? Laughs in metal coat rack
Basically one of the problems in horror movies.
Make people do stupid conclusions and acts for the plot's sake - so you'd have material for a whole movie's time instead of 15 minutes 😂
Fortunately some movie plots are a bit more complicated and need actual thinking and mystery-solving.
