How would you survive a horror movie?

Stay in a well-lit room surrounded by friends with a back-up generator. A back-up generator IN the room, with proper ventilation for exhaust; no "Oh, the power's gone off, wait here, I'll go down in the basement and switch on the generator" nonsense. Also a fully charged satelite phone.
Put on a tutu, duct-tape bacon to my face, begin tapdancing, and break into a musical number about the magic of friendship. My best bet is to change the genre, and I have no idea what genre that is, but it sure as hell isn't horror. (OK, I guess it is horror, but it's the 'what has been seen can not be unseen' type, not the 'horrible murder' type.)
my favorite horror movie (or at least the most trumatizing one to me) is IT, so i dont really see how I can really make myself able to definatively do something and say I'll live because of it.
Well, my favorite has to be Event Horizon, and I like it (among other reasons) because it defies so many stereotypes of the horror genre, which makes this difficult. However, I guess I'd have to say that if I see anything bizzare, just ignore it, I'm in space and I'm probably hallucinating.
Any other horror movie, I'd get some sort of flame-based weapon. You can't kill the killer, so why not turn him into a small pile of ashes? Or, if he's chasing me with a knife bring a freaking gun.

C.R.A.V.E.N. (Cover, Recon, Arsenal, Vehicle, Escape, North)
Take cover and stay together. Be sure not to over barricade; not having a quick way out is the fastest way to die.
Find out what you are up against and what you will need to get past it. When outdoors high ground is usually helpful, (unless the monster(s) can fly.) Try to locate a means of conveyance.
Amass an arsenal. Baseball bats, broom handles, shotguns and swords, anything you can use to beat a path to your next destination.
Find a vehicle. Check the back seat, if empty open the driver-side door, (don't worry it's always unlocked.) The keys will be behind the visor. (Note: When starting the vehicle the engine will not turn over until whatever is chasing you is within about two feet of the vehicle.)
Put the pedal to the metal and get the hell out of there. Passengers should all be armed and ready to defend the vehicle. The driver needs to keep a level head and not crash into anything that they aren't trying to kill.
Go north. Anywhere you might be, north is better. Ancient vampires in Aztec ruins? Keep going till you hit Austin. Murderous hillbilly, infested Arkansas backwoods? Let St. Louis be your salvation. The perpetually haunted American north-east? Canada's great anytime.
When the danger is a state line or two behind you, you can finally give that much deserved sigh of relief, (and then get the crap scared out of you by the next person to tap you on the shoulder.)

Don't be the slutty friend.
Don't be the smug friend.
Don't be the funny friend.
Don't be the ethnic friend.
Don't be the boyfriend.
Don't be the quiet friend.
Don't be the smart friend.
Don't be the dumb friend.
Be the kind hearted friend who constantly places himself in seemingly suicidal positions to try and save your friends from their demise (and fail most of the time), and survive by the amazing powers of deus ex machina as some sort of macguffin, usually revealed by the smart friend before death, is retrieved and used to defeat the evil. Until the sequel reveals that the powerful macguffin was worth exactly nothing.
THAT is how I survive.

I'd stab the bad guy. Why do characters in most horror movies (ones with human villains at least) always run? Fucking knife that *****. Several times. Or shoot him. Like with a gun. Jus sayin.
Or, if you really don't like blood, walk out the front door. Locked? Break a window dumb ass. Or a wall. It's probably only drywall. It's not a death trap unless you make it one.
If shit is really bad, there's one last option...
"If you can't beat them, join them."
(O.0)

Running away from the place, not caring at all.
if that option isn't available:
Find a weapon and constantly keep trying to find better ones.

Simple answer, by being the bad guy. Kill off the protagonists and move on to my next crappy sequel.
In order to survive in any given horror movie, I'd wait for everyone to realize what's going on, wait longer for the guy in charge to make a decision on where we need to go and what we need to do, then do exactly the opposite and be perfectly safe for the rest of the movie because doing the opposite of what the lead character says is usually something like 'don't get involved, and quickly leave the building/area that the creature/murderer is located in'.
