How to survive a horror movie

by Cory Krantz

Created on: July 18, 2009   Last Updated: July 20, 2009

Have you ever seen a horror movie and mocked the characters for what they did because you'd do something different? Do you know why you mocked them? You mocked them because they broke the rules, therefore they died. But what are the rules? There have been so many rules explained before that if they are all true, even the killer should die instantly for they have already broke all the rules.

Rule#1: Always carry a weapon with you that you are willing to bet your life on. If someone comes at you with a gun and you have a pocket knife, odds are, you won't win (unless the gun doesn't work which falls into rule 2). Get the best weapon you have and prepare to kill.

Rule#2: Have back up weapons, what if your gun runs out of bullets or jams and won't shoot? What if they stole your knife If you have from you? If you have back-up weapons, you will surprise the killer and be at a dis-advantage.

Rule#3: Leave your morality behind. When it coms to murder, don't be moral. Try to talk them out of killing you, just get it over with.

Rule#4: No blind threats, no matter what. Do not threaten to do something unless you intend to do it, it makes you look weak and you wll be killed feaster.

Rule#5: Get bullet proof vests and protection of some type. There is no way you can hide forever, so be prepared. Get some type of protective armor so you are ready to fight.

Rule#6: When shooting or stabbing, never aim for the heart. Most killers will expect you to shoot them in the chest and will get their hands on bullet proof vests, always aim for the head.

Rule#7: This is one of the most important rules, be resourceful, everything can be used as a weapon. If you have no gun or knife, find a bicycle or a hammer or something, when thought about hard enough, everything can be used as an effective weapon.

Rule#8: Is your killer meta-human? So killers can't be killed, so they must be destroyed. What I mean is, if stabbing them in the heart doesn't work like in terminator, you need to blow them up and keep their parts separate so they can't rebuild themselves.

Rule#9: Never have your back towards an open spot, try to keep you back facing a wall so they can't sneak attack from behind.

Rule#10: In the case you have no weapons, no where to hide, no one to call for help, confront the killer and try to take their weapon. Try to trip them and slam their head into a foor or wall. Kick them in the middle area. Have no mercy.

Rule#11: Don't tempt fate. If there's a killer, don't sin and make fate favour you for being a bad person. No cussing. Killing will be forgiven if it's to a bad person, in which you did fate a favour.

Rule#12: If you are being stalked, never go to your house or a friend's house, go to a public place so they don't know where you live.

Rule#13: This is the ultimate rule that if followed, might spare your life. In the worst case scenario you must outrun the killer to your car or a car that doesn't belong to you, hot-wire the car and tun over them. This is worst case because the killers are usually physically fit and can almost always outrun anyone.

These are just the basic rules of how to survive, really, just use good judgement and have no mercy, show no fear, break the law if you have to. You might not legally be right, but you'll be justified.
