why do white people fall in horror movies?

Answer 1

because we don't have better sense than to look back to see if it is chasing us.............therefore, our dumbA$$es fall !

*good question---funny question

Answer 2

Is this a question about cultural differences in film? In my culture it is considered frightening to fall when being pursued by that which you wish to avoid because your terror might catch up and overtake you. To lie down is to make yourself vulnerable. When one child pins another child in a fight the child pinned says "uncle" an expression that offers surrender in the hope of release. It is also considered frightening to fall into a dark crevice, since you may become trapped in need of rescue, since the crevice is dark you have no way of knowing how deep it is or what lies at the bottom. It is a theater climax to provoke emotion and interest in the audience. We even have a popular expression to describe such an event in a story; "A Cliff-Hanger". Hanging from a cliff in the literal sense is no more desired here than in any other culture, but when the reference is made to a literary work it usually indicates a positive review, an engaging tale.

Answer 3

The same reason people fall in the water (when the boats not even movin) in shark movies.I know a lot of people that it gets them yellin at the screen. White people just happen to be the ones who do the falling. Teenagers have sex and die afterwards. Its just one of the "trends" horror movies seem to follow.

Answer 4

Not white people, the young, air-headed girl with big boobs who is just buying time until the big strong hero guy can come and save her, they're just trying to be dramatic. Its the cliche, it wouldn't be a horror movie without it.

Answer 5

They fall because the are running like hell to get away from what ever is so horrifying. That would be like saying that black people always get killed in horror movies. Both are stereotypes. Oh! Black people always get killed first because they ain't running!

Answer 6

LOL! That's a good question! What I'd like to know is in latter horror flicks, there's always a token black guy or girl who dies half way through the movie?

Answer 7

cause them people are stupid i mean no offense im white but them people look behind them or they run to the same place they started ok for example if jason vorhees is chasing you your not gonna look behind you your gonna give a new meaning to the world flying without wings and your not gonna go back to the same place you started the people in horror movies are ridiculously stupid

Answer 8

because they cant run.I hate it when the woman starts running in the woods with her high heels on. I am screaming 'take off the shoes you stupid woman" then she always has to turn around and look. it could not be me. and by the way I am white. I think it is just a movie thing.

Answer 9

Because that is what the jews wanted them to do. The same goe's for all activities in movies by those of any race. Now that I have helped you out perhaps you could answer a question for me?


Why do *** gers stink?

Is it so the blind can hate them too?

Answer 10

because there are very few white people blessed with grace and rhythm. obviously, the ones in horror movies are not those blessed few. neither am i. here's to hoping i don't come across a monster anytime soon....

Answer 11

If you are referring to when someone is running from the bad guy ( or monster) they always trip and fall down... it's not just white people. Anyone trying to get away always fall. lol
