Defining silly:

Sitting with a friend, watching horror flicks, everyone angrily heckling the protagonists' every ill choice—and then realizing we had made the exact same mistakes the night before, getting our characters killed during a session of a horror-themed roleplaying game.

So let this be a public service message:

This Halloween season, take it easy on them horror protagonists. They're having a rough go of it. And perhaps—just perhaps—the critical thinking skills of someone having a hatchet swung at their head differ from the critical thinking skills of someone sitting comfortably on a couch eating pumpkin pie.

P.S. If you find yourself in a horror film, don't look in the mirror. Seriously. What good can come of that?
