Live Poll: Things You Would Never Say to a Horror Movie Character

There are some things you surely wouldn't say to a horror character, if you would meet him in real life. But when you fictionally would, what would be the most dangerous no-go appeal?

(on good or bad side)

Breumaster,
My vote:
To Count Dracula: "I just cut my finger. Could you please hand me a plaster?"

For your information: The British call them plasters; Americans call them bandages.

The dollar sign goes before US currency. Please correct spelling of lending in #12:
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls022635255/mediaviewer/rm1311084032
To Ash: "You owe us 102.708,12$ library lendig fee for this strange old book!"

To:
To Ash: "You owe us $102.708,12 library lending fee for this strange old book!"

#10 may be a tad inappropriate.

In the United States, we use commas to separate every third order of magnitude, and a dot for the radix, so it should be "$102,708.12".

Sorry, sometimes I forget that Americans are more sensitive about these topics. ;)

I changed it. Do you think it's more appropriate now? Please be free to correct me, if
I do wrong. That's the best way to learn. ;)  I always stumble on this $-thing! ;)

Breumaster, you could spell out "dollars" instead (thus keeping it at the end), if you prefer. On that note, If you wanted to be transcriptional, you would go with "You owe us a one-hundred-two-thousand-seven-hundred-eight-dollar-and-twelve-cent lending fee for this strange old book!"

Thank you, Jeorj. :)It's nice you show me alternative proceedings. I wanted to keep it as numerical amount for keeping the text shorter and more sleek. But I keep your advice in mind for other occasions, when I can't express it with numbers.

'Great idea for a poll and very creative options!

Could you make one edit to the intro? ('add "or her' to the first sentence...)

There are some things you surely wouldn't say to a horror character, if you would meet him or her in real life. But when you fictionally would, what would be the most dangerous no-go appeal?

'Well done intro, by the way! 

I'm not sure what this means, though:

rubyfruit76:

Wendy Torrance and Mike Enslin are victims of the place they have to stay. The other characters are on the bad side, the "active villains". Tallahassy is a good guy (human) in a badguy world (zombies).
Horror most times is a matter of good and evil. Ash for example is a victim of bad occurences. He is the good guy. Anton Phibes is the active villain. But they are all horror movie characters. ;) I wanted to clear this in a short sentence. ;)
I corrected the text and added "or her". That's my german grammar. "Der Charakter" --> "the character" is male in germany. I treated it like "the actor", which can be an actor or an actress. ;)

Breumaster,

I agree with Ruby that this is a very creative poll. I intended to stated this in my first post.

#15
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls022635255/mediaviewer/rm918361344
I had to look up the word shrive. The word is not commonly used. You may wish to change:

To Kane: "Please Father, would you shrive me?"

... to:
To Kane: "Please Father, would you hear my confession?"

- - -

#16

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls022635255/mediaviewer/rm2298224640

In German all nouns are capitalized. In English only proper nouns are capitalized, common nouns are should be lowercase. I frequently capitalize common nouns in English by mistake since I tend to prefer German's convention. The nouns "pea", "soup", "habanero" and "chili" are common nouns and should be lower case. The words "pea" and "habanero" function as adjectives in choice #16.

Please consider changing:
To Regan McNeil: "Pea Soup is boring. Let's try some Habanero Chili and see what's happening then."

... to:
To Regan McNeil: "Pea soup is boring. Let's try some habanero chili and see what's happening then."

... or to:

To Regan McNeil: "Pea soup is boring. Let's try some ghost pepper chili and see what's happening then."

... or to:
To Regan McNeil: "Pea soup is boring. Let's try some Carolina Reaper chili and see what's happening then."

Notes:


1. "Pea" is capitalized because it is the first word in a sentence, not because it is a proper noun.

2. Carolina Reaper is a proper noun.

3. FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhut_jolokia

The Bhut jolokia (IPA: [ˈbɦʊt.zɔˌlɔkiˌja]), also known as ghost pepper, ghost chili, U-morok, red naga, naga jolokia, and ghost jolokia, is an interspecific hybrid chili pepper cultivated in the Northeast Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland and Manipur.[1][2] It is a hybrid of Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens and is closely related to the Naga Morich of Bangladesh.[3]

In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world's hottest chili pepper, 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The ghost chili is rated at more than 1 million Scoville heat units (SHUs). However, the ghost chili was shortly superseded by the Infinity chili in 2011, followed by the Naga Viper, the Trinidad moruga scorpion in 2012 and the Carolina Reaper on August 7, 2013.[4]

I had some Bhut Jolokia, made a chili of it. That doesn't 2 times, it burns three times. Not only on the back, but on the front, too - if you know what i mean. That's not really for eating. I read, there is a new one (2017, Pepper X) that has 3,18 Million Scoville Units of strenght!


I think your suggestion with the Carolina Reaper chili sounds best for the # in the poll, because it sounds really bad. Bad peppers for bad girls. ;) But Habanero is a sort of chili like  Bhut Jolokia. It as it's own name. I don't get it, why writing the one big, the other not. That's complicated, maybe because I don't get the point why.
P.S.:
I've seen "to shrive" is an acient term, basing on the romans language that spread all over Europe and changed here and there by changing in each country and mixing up again. It means something like the german "die Absolution erteilen".

Breumaster,

Thank you for making the changes. There is still a problem with the capitalization for #16:
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls022635255/mediaviewer/rm2298224640

The words "soup" and "chilli" should be lower case.


Please change:
To Regan McNeil: "Pea Soup is boring. Let's try some Carolina Reaper Chili and see what's happening then."

To:
To Regan McNeil: "Pea soup is boring. Let's try some Carolina Reaper chili and see what's happening then."

I've found that German grammar is much more consistent than English grammar.

- - -

Here is a short story for your amusement.

My German instructor from high school conducted month long tours of Germany and Austria at an extremely low cost during the summer.

At the time the drinking age was lower in Germany than in our state. Some of our class went to a bar called the Hexenturm. The bar was crowed and very warm. One of the young ladies made the mistake of saying “Ich bin heiss.” instead of “Es geht mir heiss.” She was lucky that one of her class mates rescued her from receiving unwelcome attention from a young German male.

I think, he thought "Ich bin heiss, too, Baby!" ;)

I corrected it. ;)

I guess you mean she better have said: "Mir ist heiss". "Es geht mir heiss" doesn't fit. If you are sick, you can say "Mir geht es schlecht." That's tells one, you are sick anyway (probably without having controll of it). "ist" is a little more direkt, makes things actual. It's bad, that I can't find the right words to tell you the difference. Maybe my explanation makes it more complicated. I hope you nearly can imagin what i meant. ;) "Ist" ~ "it's"

She could have said: "Es ist mir zu heiss hier drin." That means that she feels the place (temprature) is too hot for her. (e.g. Sauna). Everybody knows then, she wants to open a window to cool down or go outside to cool down. "It's too hot in here". I'm astounded to recognize, that americans would let away the "me"-form. Am I right?

Breumaster,
Thanks for making the correction.
I found your explanation clear. I do not speak German enough to speak it well. However, I can read German with good comprehension and usually can understand most of what native Germans and Austrians say in German.
