Top Ten Things I’ve Learned From Horror Movies 2007

In the spirit of humor and Halloween, today I’d like to post my top ten list of what I have learned from watching Horror movies.

1. All folklore is true. Bloody Mary, the Boogie Man…Jason they are all real. Don’t test their existence.

2. Don’t be alone; around anything mechanical that can possibly kill you. Like a garage door opener, a mechanical vise, chainsaw, pulleys

3. Make sure to keep your car in good condition for a quick getaway.

4. Anyone covering their face with a mask or their hair is bad. Run as fast as possible.

5. If trapped in a boarded up house or bus stay away from the windows.

6. Travel in groups of at least three. I used to travel in twos, but I ended up leaving my friend alone with the killer. You can guess what happened next.

7. Don’t invite anyone into your house.

8. Don’t go out on a full moon.

9. If someone says “I want to play a game”, respond immediately with “I don’t want to play a game”.

10. If someone in your group runs back into an area teaming with werewolves, zombies, vampires and/or ghosts to get their dog, let them go, they deserve to die.

Any to add?

    Oh come on… What about Vincent in Lost? He’s just so lovable. Oh… I guess there were no werewolves and such there on the island… only The Others. And somebody died anyway, so… I guess you’re still right.

    How about, Even if you have lived in your house for years and you see something move unaided, don’t hesitate… Move immediately.

    That’s good! Take lots of pictures of your friends, if there is anything odd in them. That means they’re going to die!

    What about. If the man is turning into a monster, don’t wait to see the whole transformation, just run.

    If your car is parked in a dark carpark, get your keys out before you leave the office/whereever and tie them to your hand so they can’t be dropped.

    If you met up with your loved one while in terrible peril do not waste time with a long kiss, run and do it when you are completely safe.
