Here's some simple rules to follow.

1. Equip yourself with a chainsaw and some manner of fire-arm: Killers in slasher flicks are extremely unlikely to go after someone already heavily armed and will go after the less well equipped 'cliche' characters.

2. Double Tap: The killer is rarely ever dead after being shot/falling from a big height/etc etc. Make sure by shooting them in the head, decapitating them or setting them on fire. There is no such thing as overkill.

3. Don't tell everyone to split up: Use the strength in numbers argument.

4. Make sure the room you are in only has one way in and one way out, as well as being clear of any psychotic killers then set up shop: Hey, one way in and it'll be right into your line of sight. Killer don't stand a chance, neither does anyone else (If anyone else other then the killer is shot by you by accident...well, thank god you have the excuse of 'wasn't me, killer did it!' to use right?).

5. Get the hell out of there as soon as you can via the use of a bicycle or other safe alternative: Killers always seem to target people who go into cars so, hey, use a bicycle. They're silent, environmentally friendly and don't have that pesky problem of stalling on you when you're trying to escape from an axe wielding maniac who's only seconds away.

6. Once it's over, cut all ties to your former friends and town and move country as far away as you possibly can: This is to avoid being killed off in the inevitable sequel.

Follow these rules and you can survive practically any horror movie, supernatural elements notwithstanding.

I wouldn't survive.


I would be that one guy who insists on doing reasonable, intelligent things.
You know who I mean; the guy who always dies first.

In a movie...stay with the group and have a weapon handy. NEVER leave the group to do something on your own cos the bad guy is almost always there.

In real life...probably the same thing but I would probably die.

I would do poorly in horror movies, most likely the one running around screaming and at some point getting stabbed to death, or eaten if it's that kind of a movie.

Well to be honest I'd probably be the bad guy, blame the upper class English accent.

Though I'd make sure to bump off my victims quickly, avoid toying with them and giving them time to fight back.

If it's a supernatural type horror movie: Call the Ghostbusters.
If it's a slasher/serial killer type horror movie: Kick the fucker in the nuts and run like hell.

When something chasing you dont keep stopping to turn around to look, dont keep looking over your shoulder either.
all that matters is the killer is behind you. Keep running, dont stop until you reach some sort of defensible shelter.
Also the world is three dimensions people, how many times i've seen people jumped from above or grabbed from below.
Fire cleanses all, light the mother on fire then keep pouring on the gas until all that is left is ashes.
Check your oil, battery and fuel levels of your car when you first get out of the car. Carry a spare jerry can and battery.

My personal advantages: High level of movement detection, working knowledge of Martial Arts, weapons and occult binding spells.
Personal Weaknesses: not exactly the fittest specimen at the moment. Bad back.

I'm male so I would kill every male more attractive then me(which would be all of them) Most attractive male = main hero and main hero = lives.

If you are female, do anything you can to be the girl the main hero falls in love with. If you are already in a relationship with the main hero, break it off immediately so that you can set it up for the two of you to fall in love again and get back together.

In every movie the main hero must fall in love with a girl. If he already has a girl, she will die so that he can fall in love with someone.

Something i noticed with many horror movies is that despite that over the course of the movie there is usually some things established that block and hinder the protagonists from escaping out of there situation.

As such: Be very, VERY genre savvy.

A friend got killed under mysterious circumstances?
Attend the funeral, then go on a LONG vacation somewhere far away. Don't investigate his death, don't stay where people find you, don't even listen to other friends who investigate his death. Don't recieve anything from your dead friends belongings.
As long as you don't have a troubling past, you're probably fine, and the Killer/Ghost/Curse will be too busy killing more nosy people.


Job/Friends/Hobby force you to go to a spooky place?
Leave at the first sign of even slight weirdness. With a bit of luck it's still early enough to leave.


Going on a long road trip that leads you to isolated areas with just about every place to fuel up/eat/drink/sleep being the only place for [awholebunchof] miles?

Stock up with fuel and food, eat and sleep in the car, or if you are feeling lucky, but not THAT lucky, plan your route so you can stop at cities. Of course, don't take shortcuts.

Don't be fucking stupid? Pretty much every horror set-up could be avoided by not falling for something ridiculous in the first place.

In horror movies, it's usually obvious who the serial killer is so just get away from him, or if it's a trapped in the creepy place, just don't go to the place in the first place.

Basically: Avoid the painfully obvious horror movie situation altogether....

My dad showed me horror movies since when I was 5 so I could 'cope with ''things'' I'm not entirely sure what that means but at least I'm completely desensitised -.-

Oddly that was one of the first films he showed me. Tbh I found the behaiviour of the men more frightening than the actual monster. It's still one of my favourite movies lol.
