The Biggest Plot Holes In Horror Movies

As entertaining as they are, some scary movies have more than their share of narrative issues, and if you pull at one plot thread, the whole story starts to unravel. From slasher classics to zombie blockbusters, these are the horror movies with some of the biggest plot holes.

John Carpenter's Halloween is a horror classic that spawned an entire franchise. It's a perfect example of the slasher genre that became so popular in the 1970s and '80s. Even today, people still wear Michael Myers' infamous mask on Halloween. In the world of horror movies, the mask has become iconic even if you've never seen the film, you've probably seen the mask.

Oddly enough, a mistake involving the mask creates a plot hole within the original film. Michael is seen wearing it several times before someone actually breaks into a hardware store and steals some masks along with a couple other items on every serial killer's shopping list.

"All they took was some Halloween masks, uh, rope and a couple of knives."

The mysterious thief is clearly supposed to be Michael, but the timeline is backward. It might make sense if there were actually two killers running around wearing the same mask, but that is definitely not the narrative of Halloween. This could have been easily remedied by including the incident in the hardware store before Michael was ever shown wearing the mask but, for some reason, the filmmakers didn't think this was necessary.

In the 1986 remake of The Fly, rogue scientist Seth Brundle believes he has invented a way for humans to teleport between locations. He hopes that his two "telepods" will make this possible, and he thinks that he's getting very close to victory. However, they're not perfect just yet. He tests them out with a baboon that results in the animal being turned inside out. Somehow, he's confident enough to try teleporting himself.
