Victim, "Someone's trying to kill us all!!!!"
TGC character, "Here. hold the bazooka and flamethrower while I use the M240 to clear the house. Oh yeah, stick a couple of those grenades in my pocket."

Good acting requires an imagination; reality requires a person not getting lost in their imagination.

Oh, it'll still be a horror movie. Just the victims will change.

Mrs price watches those movies on lifetime, the ones where the woman winds up being stalked or whatever by some manipulative guy or vindictive woman. The cliche ending is always where the strong but sensitive heroine has to fight back-gun, shovel, 2x4, whatever. She knocks down the baddie, then drops the weapon and flees. Invariably the baddie gets up and intercepts the heroine and prevents the escape.
I've told her over and over, if you get the baddie down, keep swinging until the baddie goes squish and you turn the head to red mush, or keep shooting until the gun goes click. Never trust the baddie is really down until you know they are down.

That was my thought. I don't know these movies well, so forgive me if I'm off a bit, but I'd think a TGC member in a horror movie would turn it into Predator or Independence Day or Alien or something like that. It's no longer a horror movie, it's sort of action/science fiction.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D
Considering I've never been scared by horror movies, I'll just post those I have been scared by.
Little SHop of Horrors:
"Hey, that plant's eating people. We need to kill it. Preferably with fire. Let me go get my shotgun and those Dragon's Breath rounds. I knew one day I'd need them when I bought them. NOw, you go figure out where we can get a flame thrower."
War of the Worlds (2004)- my basic advise to Tom Cruise (other than don't get involved with Scientology) would be to not let go of the handgun...EVER. That way he can just shoot Tim RObbins before he goes crazy.....which should be sometime years before this movie was ever made.
The Mirror Has Two Faces- take Jeff Bridges to a bar, get him drunk, tell him there are many fish in the sea, better looking ones, definitely less crazy ones than Barbara Streissand. Movie ends in 5 minutes.
