Running into the barn, going to an alien infested planet, dropping the only weapon, these are some common tropes that appear in all sorts of horror movies.

In the Thing simply not going to investigate the Norwegian research base would have resulted in no deaths. There are plenty of easy avoidable mistakes people make during horror films, and with this guide of what not to do during a horror movie maybe we can save a few B-list actors.
