Have you ever noticed the people in horror films all suffer from a serious lack of judgement and common sense?
The first rule of horror movie survival is never split up. It's a well known fact that ghosts, demons, serial killers, and monsters of all ilk enjoy splitting up the herd and picking their victims off one or two at a time.
The second rule of horror movie survival is keep your thing in your pants. If you're ever in a spooky situation - like partying at the abandoned mortuary with the creepy goth girl from your Geometry class - don't go off into another room to get nasty with the person you're dating. You're just asking to die.
The final rule of horror movie survival is NEVER, EVER go check out the noise, voice that called your name, dark shadow, etc... Why? Because you're going to die.
What you should do if you ever find yourself in any horror movie type situation is run like hell and don't look back. We have a flight response for a reason. Use it.
Oh - and have you ever noticed that no one can ever get their car started in a horror film either? Never enter a horror film situation with a piece-of-shit car.
That's all I have to say at the moment. Enjoy pondering.
