Say his name 5 times and he kills you... Just don't say it? And yet, they still do. Why? Is it to own the libs?

Y'know some people... Tell 'em NOT to do something and they just HAVE to do it...

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary.... Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... Any more?

I would say Helen, Helen, Helen, Helen, Helen... but a) it's a bit of a cheat, and b) in fairness, no-one told him not to say it!

Don't watch this videotape because a girl will kill you if you do. *watches videotape*
Don't stay in this haunted house because ghosts will kill you. *stays in haunted house*
Don't go investigate that creepy lair with your girlfriend. *goes to investigate a creepy lair with his girlfriend*

Horror movies are about people doing stupid things for stupid reasons.

Do you want to go in the room with the chain saws hanging from the ceiling or go back into your car and go to the police station? *Go into the room with the chain saws*

Haha, this is true! 😊 Babysitter: 'Shall I run out the front door to get away from the knife-wielding maniac, or run up the stairs? I know, I'll run upstairs!"

When the original came out and I was in HS, we went in the bathroom and said it into the mirror….it was an adrenaline rush if you were in to horror movies….obviously we didn’t believe anything would happen (although there was that tiny tiny doubt which helped make it fun).

But what if it did….I haven’t seen the new one….but in the old one….didn’t some people do it as goof….just turned out bad in movie world.

It's an urban legend. Do you believe in that stuff? Would you not dare say Candyman five times in the mirror?
They don't know they're in a horror movie.
