Alright ladies and gents, this is where we seperate the bimbo's from the badasses and the genre-savy from the genre-blind. Who do you think is the character in a horror movie who actually isn't a complete moron and doesn't walk right into their own death? Who has actually impressed you in how they handle being in Nightmare territory and why?
Naturally killers are exempt and fanboyism is out (ok maybe a little fanboyism).
Ash from Evil dead...well more evil dead 2 and Army of Darkness, in Evil dead he was kinda useless, his friend is getting attacked and he just stood there
I was thinking of giving her an honourable mention, she's not really in control of her powers or her emotions though.
Another honourable mention to the boxer from Jason Takes Manhattan, still an idiot, but he has a good go. Respect.
I would say Kevin McKidd's character from Dog Soldiers is pretty good, he doesn't lose his cool through more or less the entire movie.
Ellen Ripley definitley gets my vote. So does Mac from The Thing. Pretty much any character who ends up being the "I told you so" character is the most competent of any group.

The Blob.
nobody even realised it was in town until it killed so many people it grew so big was impossible for it to hide anymore. well except the kids
The Tall Man is relentless in his attempt to conquer the world. Although this is a multi-dimension presents itself as properly dressed couple - although incredibly disturbing - a lord, please do not let her looks fool you.
