Me and my husband got caught up watcin' this crazy movie on SCI-FI yesterday called Lake Dead, and though we're not die hard scary movie folks, every once in a while, we'll find ourselves watchin' one of them joints, only to talk head thru the entire film so I decided to share wit' y'all a few reasons why WE feel you never see too many scary movies with US as the main charectors:
first and foremost, we not fena follow the typical rules set up for a horror movie.
first and foremost, we not fena follow the typical rules set up for a horror movie.REAL BLACK PEOPLE:
- NEVER FALL DOWN DURING CHASE: That's a no brainer. As a people, we been thru too much in our history to NOT know how to effectively "book". Just ask the local police department where you're from. We used to run as slaves and we dominate the track field so there's no way we're fena get caught.
- DON'T TROT OR END UP WITH A LIMP, WE HAUL ASS: Again, we have the fundamentals of running down pat. How many times have you seen a scary movie and within the first 2 minutes of chase, somebody's tripped over NOTHING, endin' up on the ground, only to get up with a limp. SMH. If a killer is after us with the intentions of doin' us IN, we're outta the city within 5 minutes, easy.
- CURSE OUT THE KILLER: I don't know what it is about our attitude, but y'all know damn well when in the face of danger, we put on our best defense mechanism. The realest i've ever seen this done was when Busta Rhymes charecter in H20 cursed out the real Michael Myers when he thought he was his friend trying to portray Mike.
- NEVER WHIMPER WHILE HIDING: How many times have you found yourself yellin' at someone in a movie to "shut up" while they're whimpering and breathing hard while tryin' to hide. We don't have time for that. We DO know how to hide and be still. Our eyes talk for us.
- NEVER "CHECK OUT THAT SOUND" OR FIX ANYTHING ALONE.....OR PERIOD: Always a formula for disaster. Well damn that. If we inside some place, and there's some strange noise, ANY noise goin' on in another room, or outside, forget about it. If the lights go out, they jus' gon' go out and BE out, ain't gon' be no goin' to check the "circuit breaker" and all that "y'all stay here, i'll be right back.....we understand that we'll be LYING.
- NEVER SPLIT UP: Are you kidding me? If we came up here as 4 people, we makin' moves as 4 people. Everytime a group splits up, they end up dead one by one. Strength in numbers.....unless we're hiding and you got a loud whisperer or somebody flatulent in your group.
- NEVER VACATION IN LOW POPULATED AREAS: This means camp sites and small towns. I've seen enough Jason movies to know crazy people don't like to live around too many people so if you tryin' to come thru they're area, you're askin' to be tow up.
- NEVER TURN OUR BACKS ON THE KILLER: IF we're ever faced in THAT type of position, which is usually a slim one, our fear and determination only serves as an adrenaline booster and 2, 3 or 4 blows ain't gon' cut it. Thinkin' you can turn away and exhale like that was "game". We finish him to ensure we at LEAST have enough time to get down the street good.
- NEVER SNOOP AROUND AREAS WE'VE NEVER BEEN TO: If you lookin' for trouble, you'll find it. This not only causes you to seperate farther and farther from your group but you'll wind up in a area where can't nobody hear you call out for help should somethin' happen. We understand this too.
- WEAR TENNIS SHOES AND/OR JEANS; SWEATS: Damn the flip flops, shorts and tank tops. You gotta be comfortable and ready to brawl or haul ass at any given moment. If glass is broken, you're good, 'cause got on the proper gear. Beach clothing in the face of danger? Please.
- DON'T SEARCH FOR MISSING PEOPLE: Nigga, if you wonder off, forget you. We tryin' to get outta dodge, we'll send somebody back to look for you after day break.
- IF MORE THAN ONE PERSON ENDS UP MISSING, WE'RE OUTTY: This is why you shouldn't split up in the first place - 'cause guaranteed, if you don't come back, we're gonna assume SOMETHIN' happened and we're gonna leave, to ensure the safety of the rest of the group.
- WE DON'T REST WHILE BEING CHASED: No time for that! This goes back to us bein' able to vacate the premises and the entire town within 5 minutes 'cause we understand delays will get you killed.
- WE DON'T ASK QUESTIONS: ie= "Hello? Is anyone there?" THAAAT's a laugh! Whoever i'm in the room with should be EVERYONE I came with, so any "would be" addition is obviously somebody who ain't down. Askin' ANY questions, usually don't result in answers so why waste the time? It's time to roll out.
- WE DON'T BREAK OFF INTO COUPLES TO GO "SMASH": We understand this action preoccupies us and makes us vulnerable to the "split up" and ultimately being LEFT behind factor, after we consider y'all "missing". Too many scary movies and studies have shown that doin' this in "low populated areas" only ends up with that couple being dead.
Now they've TRIED to show a couple of "scary HOOD movies", and y'all know damn well they left you upset 'cause the scenarios weren't honest. In a honest scary scenario, with REAL black people, that sh** would be over with in all of 5 minutes.

Sane, now you found a subject that is soooo cool, LOL! I'm a first-class horror-junkie and I been screaming ALL this stuff out loud for years now. Obviously there's a challenge here, cuz if them damn producers take all this into consideration, we might be wondering what the next horror movie is gonna look like :)
this weekend friday night i think my kids were in my bed watching tv while me and hubby upfront watching the news, yeah i know we old and boring not the point tho i heard my kids laughing hard as hell so i was like da hell they watching, i know they ass ain't put that damn friday after next dvd in when we said not to, i go in the room they watching somebody help me on bet and they cracking the hell up, i was like ain't this a scary movie and my daughter was like yeah but momma it's sooooooooooooooooooo funny she was like they keep going into the woods and everytime they go ppl come up missing blah blah womp womp, anyway what killed me bout this whole thing was that even my son was laughing @ it and he is a scaredy cat when it come to scary movies he alllll under the covers telling us to turn it and shit but even his lil ass was laughing the movie stars marques houston omariaon, alexis fields and that pretty chick who was on my wife and kids, google it, altho i am sure yall done seen it before, i sat down and watched the rest of that movie with em and was laughing too cause the shit just wasn't real, i was like MAN PLEASE the whole cast black but this ain't even what we'd do if we was in the same situation, let ONE, not two, not three, not four, but ONE of yall come up missing i'm out that bitch, ain't no cutting of the wires on my car cause i ain't giving you time, ain't no forgetting shit and going back cause i ain't gon care, ain't no blowing out of the tires cause imma keep rolling, lmao this was a good ass post sane.....
You know you're telling the truth! I HATE when people actually go LOOKING for the cause. Who cares? All I know is if something crazy happens I'm two sheets to the wind. Better yet, if someone starts running, I'm running too. No questions asked.
damn i was watchin the same movie chrissy talkin bout. the funny part was when one of the chics had to go take a smash and she went in the crib by herself but them niggas already knew somebody was killin folks so why the fuck would u go to the bathroom by yaself anyway. yall know black folks always go to the bathroom in groups, shit thats a habit u pick up in grade school, niggas always sayin to each other "yo walk me to da bathroom"
naw chay dis what killed me was when they came back and both them heffas was gon marques houston ass gon holla BABY STOP PLAYING.. i was like nigga ain't nobody playing, ppl been coming up missing since yall got there da hell imma be playing like that for, lmao i laughed so hard chay i was like man i gotta get this shit on dvd and file it under comedy
HAHAHAHAHA!!! @ ALL y'all!
Pat ( MissCosa ), girl I couldn't agree with you more!
Chrissy & Chay, yeah I had the misfortune of watchin' that damn "Somebody Help Me" trash when it first came on a few months ago and I was sorely pissed at the entire scenario! Chay, you are SO right about the bathroom thing! LOL!!! I was also upset that Marques Houston's charector had the gall to get beat up by the killer and then when he was able to get in ONE hit, he turned around like the job was completed, only to end up knocked out on the ground. SMH.
Red, I am SO with you over that whole "run, don't ask any questions" thing. You know black people know how to do THAT. lol!!!
Girl, you got that right. If somebody else is in the room (besides the person I came with) - do I REALLY expect them to say "yeah, I'm here?" HELL no! They're gonna wait until I turn around, then kill my lil' ass!
Kimmy!!! :)
See, you know the rules too! lol!

Second of all, you oughta know by now, I don't check for Beyonce like, especially if the same videos are being posted every damn place else.
Stop actin' like Jay-Z & Beyonce's "butler" already.
My friends and I were just talking about this exact subject on Friday night after going to see the movie Quarantine (which is funny as hell by the way!)
Mr. Black Man (obviously derailed by white people thinking), you mean to tell me that when that crazy old white lady is growling like a dog while sitting in front of a TV watching snow all while foaming at the mouth, you're going to walk up to her and ask if she's ok? Naw nigga, shoot that bitch, run and ask for forgiveness later!
Two signs that a muhfukka's not ok - growling like a rabid dog and whistling or humming some errie song that no one's ever heard of...either one of those occur and Lboog is AUDI 5000! LOL
LMAO @ this WHOLE list!!! This ain't NOTHING but the TRUTH!
and you know if somebody fall or can't keep up with the group...R.I.P. to them....LMAO!!!! Cause ain't no way we turning back to help a nicca!!!!
GOOOOOD Post!
LOLOLOLOL!!! @ LBoogie and the eerie song that no ones ever heard of *dead*
