I think there's also a sense in which a lot of these movies have a... complex relationship to science and rationality. Even if they're not explicitly about Things Wot Man Was Not Meant To Meddle With, there's still often a sense of a gap between the kind of knowledge or expertise provided by science and rationality on the one hand, and the reality of horror + the things necessary to defeat evil on the other. So given that tension, and the ambiguous attitude these movies often have towards science, it makes sense for those characters to die early.

Yeah, I believe you're right about that. It falls flat once you analyze it too much.

It would fall apart if they had the ability to analyze it too much. But it's not just that they don't fit into the narrative. They also die because, like, they're the most immediate representations of science and rationality. So there's a story telling logic for the threat to seek them out first you know?

[kallanda_lee]

Yeah, that makes sense.
