sam haddonfield is 150 miles away from
here now for god's sakes he can't drive
a car he was doing very well last night
maybe someone around here gave him
lessons welcome to watch mojo and today
we're counting down our picks for the
top 10 horror movie mistakes spotted by
the fans there's a formula to it a very
simple formula for this list we'll be
looking at subtle production goofs
continuity errors and leaps in logic and
scary movies that were left in the
finished product these mistakes don't
necessarily make the movies any worse
but they are fun to point out make no
mistake about it though there will be
spoilers know of any other notorious
goofs scream about it in the comments
number 10 misplaced body
jeepers creepers
jeepers indeed in this turn of the
century creature feature brother and
sister dari and trish run a road trip
when they see a disturbing sight a large
imposing figure disposing of a body down
a sewer pipe what the hell was he doing
he dumped something down that pipe
wrapped in a sheet
wrapped and roped in a sheet
wrapped and roped in a sheet with red
stains on it after being chased by the
creeper the two decide to double back
and see if they can help bad decision
you know the part in scary movies where
somebody does something really stupid
and everybody hates them for it
this is it trish tries to lower dairy
down the pipe but her failing grip
causes him to slide down at the bottom
darry finds the creeper's stash
including the still living victim i
found her body
trouble is despite going down the same
chute the body is lying several feet
away from where darry landed maybe the
creeper removed his organs and replaced
them with bouncy balls get out to the
road flag down anyone you see tom to get
the cops out of here right away number
nine
slippers slip up the evil dead
cheryl is already not having a good
night before this continuity error comes
into play investigating a strange noise
she goes outside in her moccasins only
to be assaulted by demonically possessed
trees and vines
[Music]
it's horrifying stuff and her heart rate
only increases as she's chased through
the night by the candarian evil
miraculously she manages to make it back
to the cabin even more miraculously she
manages to keep her moccasins on the
entire time however in between the shots
of her climbing the porch steps and
searching for the hide-a-key they've
suddenly disappeared not only that but
her feet are incredibly filthy as if the
slippers slipped off a long time ago
rather than in the last few seconds
[Music]
number eight knee pads
texas chainsaw massacre the next
generation hey when you land such
promising stars as future oscar winners
renee zellweger and matthew mcconaughey
you gotta make sure you're protecting
the talent
what are you gonna do
shoot me
yeah
if you try something
what if i do this in this installment
zellweger's jenny and her friends have a
prom to remember when they're stranded
in the middle of nowhere and chased by
our favorite chainsaw wielding maniac
leatherface
[Applause]
in the third act jenny manages to escape
the family's sadistic clutches and make
her way to the nearby car desperate she
scrambles over the hood to get to the
driver's side only her dress makes sure
we see the production-approved knee pads
for such a stunt
who knows maybe she had a softball game
right before prom and forgot to take
them off
number 7 internet history unfriended
though perhaps somewhat kitschy
unfriended is actually a pretty
ingenious horror flick as its strictly
screen-based presentation forces the
viewer to pay close attention
however that also means audiences are
going to be even more keen to on-screen
errors guys who is this i don't know
who's here the whole time you said it
was just a glitch
well the glitch just typed early in the
film six high school students begin
being hunted by the ghost of their dead
classmate over a skype call upon hanging
up mitch messages his girlfriend blair
about a creepy message he got
after they both get one more message in
she clicks away to other apps when she
comes back the last two messages are
suddenly gone and they restart the
conversation in the middle of the thread
honestly we'd love to know how to delete
texts after you've already sent them
number six
dumb dummy
final destination two
considering all the gruesome deaths in
this horror franchise we don't blame the
production for putting safety first else
they have an actual accident take place
but maybe they could make some of the
deaths more convincing
how did they expect me to
would you rather just have a laughing
ass
yeah
gene i'm gonna need you in here in the
second installment teenager tim is
pretty much the worst dentist
appointment ever when some errant
pigeons almost lead to his suffocation
thankfully he's saved but what happens
next might make him wish he hadn't been
after tim scares away the pigeons
outside the flock distracts a
construction worker causing a glass pane
to fall on his head
[Music]
it's a pretty solid death but maybe less
so when you notice the dummy looks
nothing like an actual human they really
couldn't get the arms right
[Music]
number five hydro hydraulics jaws 2.
even though it's fake the shark in the
first jaws movie manages to make our
hair stand on end all the time the shark
and jaws 2 a little less so and part of
that is due to this unfortunate peak
behind the curtain
whereas the first film ironically
benefited greatly from prop shark
malfunctions as this forced the
filmmakers to suspensefully hide the
thing the second decided to forgo any
coinus from the jump instead showing the
beast in all its toothy glory except
some 300 teeth couldn't disguise the
very obvious hydraulics going on at the
back of its mouth
the characters should be screaming but
every time they get a gander past those
pearly whites they should probably smell
something fishy
[Applause]
[Music]
number four
fibbing the defib the thing
coming off the heels of the first jaws
the thing is a master class of horror
with some truly top-notch practical
creature design however with that
practicality does come some filmmaking
hurdles
not breathing
well i'm trying to talk
get in here
and bring the others with mistrust
ratcheting up among the group norris
seemingly suffers a heart attack copper
promptly attempts to defibrillate him
unaware norris has been assimilated by
the thing after a standard shock
norris's torso opens up biting off
copper's arms in one of the movie's best
scares
conceivably the effect was constructed
around norris's abdomen as this was the
most feasible way to do it however this
means that copper a trained physician
was attempting to defibrillate him
several inches below his chest instead
of his heart maybe he was trying to
restart his tummy
number three wrench in the plan
halloween
made for just over three hundred
thousand dollars john carpenter's
halloween became the little slasher that
could grossing over 60 million dollars
back in 1978 however with that budgeting
comes the need for some creative
solutions are there any special
instructions
just trying to understand what we're
dealing with here
don't underestimate it in the opening
scene of the present day storyline dr
samuel loomis and marion chambers arrive
at the sanitarium to pick up michael
myers for an impending court hearing
however they find the patients loose and
michael soon starts attacking the car
giving marion quite a start
[Music]
at one point he breaks the window with
his bare hand but upon closer inspection
we can plainly see a wrench attached to
it
it's a great way to show the strength of
your villain but its budgetary
workaround is no match for discerning
fans he's gone from here
the evil is gone number two
prop hand
scream
speaking of hands this is one that
probably shouldn't exist within the
world of the movie oh
what do we have behind door number three
sydney daddy whoa hold
[Music]
toward the end of the first screen
killers billy loomis and stu mocker
reveal they've captured sydney's father
neal once they're distracted sydney
manages to get him and herself to safety
by hiding in a nearby closet
are you alone in the house
[ __ ]
you [ __ ] after sydney taunts and
ultimately dispatches the killers a
still-bound kneel emerges from the
closet for one last scare causing a
whole slew of items to come tumbling out
dad
however we can also see a crew member's
hand pushing the items into the shot
perhaps this is the secret third killer
fans have been theorizing about who's
doing that
could that be
the mystery guest waiting in the wings

number one overlooking the overlook the
shining
is it a mistake if it was put there on
purpose
maybe not but the fascinating fan
dissection of this movie makes it too
good to pass up for our number one spot
has tony ever told you anything about
this place
about the overlook hotel
i don't know
by now we all know there's something not
quite right about the overlook hotel
some of its eeriness can actually be
attributed to the deliberate
inconsistencies in the constructed set
for instance the layout of several rooms
are impossible as is a window in stuart
allman's office which should be in the
middle of the building and this site was
chosen for its seclusion
and scenic beauty
well it's certainly got plenty of that
in another scene the carpet pattern
completely changes on danny in between
shots the pathway that the ball took
rolling down towards danny is gone now
it's no longer there because it's
reversed and you get a sense of the a
closure now the hexagon is closed it's
almost like he's been closed in in any
other movie this could be dismissed as
carelessness but here it masterfully
creates an unconscious sense of
discomfort in the viewer
