So, you have decided to run up the stairs when pursued by a killer, AGAIN. That's very troublesome, seeing as you did the same thing in the first two films, and guess what? He found you! Darn, imagine that! Now, please don't take this wrong dear, but I'm afraid you're as dumb as a post that's been given a lobotomy.
Seriously, let's take a look at you for a moment. The fact you have lived this far into the film series means one of four things.
- You are the Smart but Hot Without Glasses chick who just so happens to have her love interest come to her for help in defeating the monster,
- You helped unleash this evil the first time, and are thus duty bound by movie law to kick its ass,
- You're batshit crazy, or
- You're psychic and are connected to the monster through some bizarre occult practice that occurred when you were a child.
Yet, whatever type of horror movie heroine you are, you still make the same mistakes over and over again. In the past, you have somehow been able to deduce not only what the villain wants and where he comes from, but also how to destroy him (for now).But, when he comes back for a third time, you can still be found living in the same neighborhood, in the same house, and wearing the exact same style of tank top you had in the first film. (Hey, they were on sale or something, bravo to the smart shopper.) Now, while sitting in a place where you have been found before by a vengeful wraith without bars, windows, locks or even a gun sounds like good precautions at first look, there are other things you can do to avoid going through this again.
Say, moving away from the ancient Indian burial ground where the killer keeps coming back to life every Halloween, for example. Silly idea, I know, but after the first two times he's come back from the grave, I don't care if you filled the grave with a mixture of cement,
urine and burned the body for good measure, you move your ass away from that shit. Besides, it's not like you're staying there for your friends, they all died in the last two films. Don't feel bad though, at least in the first film their deaths were not totally your fault.
But we both know you don't care about that. You're a young lady, and this being the third film and all, there is no chance he could possibly come back a third time. You've had a hard life, after all is said and done. Living in an upscale neighborhood with your rich friends being killed left and right and you being the
only moral pillar in the bunch can take such a toll on the sensibilities. So what if you're not supposed to touch that creepy old book, say Nilknarf three times in a mirror or remove a nail from an old oak tree? You don't need those responsibilities! It's time to let loose, forget all the rules, and hopefully get your ass killed at the end of the film, because we both know this world will be much safer without you. Then we can get a heroine that isn't as dumb as a brick.
