„X If the young girls of the neighborhood start singing songs about boogeymen while jumping rope, consider moving.
„X If you are running away from the killer/monster, don¡¦t even try to start the car. It doesn¡¦t matter if the car is brand new, it won¡¦t start.
„X If running from the monster/killer, try to make the least amount of noise possible. Especially if you are female. Panting, crying and screaming is not going to help you hide any better.
„X For pete¡¦s sake¡KNEVER stick your hand down the garbage disposal. Especially if you just heard strange noises in your house or while sinister music is playing.
„X If you hear a strange noise coming from upstairs that sounds similar to, oh let¡¦s say a severed head falling to the floor, don¡¦t go trying to find out what it is.
„X Never wait until you NEED the gun to check and see if it¡¦s loaded.
„X If you have to stay out in the woods or at camp you¡¦re pretty much screwed. But at least you¡¦ll have a fighting chance in the cabin. Never EVER take the tent.
„X Never try to unmask the killer.
„X Never hide in a closet.
„X If you find the mangled body of a friend, camping partner, janitor, or whom ever, don¡¦t stay and investigate. Run like hell.
„X If you are a girl with long blonde hair, blue eyes and big boobs, well, you are pretty much screwed.
„X Always check the backseat of your car before you get in.
„X When running away from the killer/monster, NEVER run upstairs.
„X If you are fleeing from a killer or supernatural being and you see a cop car, run right by it. There are three possible ways that things will turn out if you try to get the cops attention and none are good:
- The cop is already dead in some gruesome way that will cause you to scream and alert the killer/monster as to where you are.
- The cop will probably end up dead as he tries to help you, this will only distract the killer away from you for a few seconds, but chances are you will end up getting killed anyway.
- The supernatural being has assumed the form of a cop and just when you think you are safe¡Khe will kill you.
„X When and if you fall while running and the killer/monster is near you, don¡¦t just sit there screaming like someone will hear you. Get up and RUN!!
„X Kill the Scientist. No matter what else you do, kill him off right away. They always want to study ¡§it,¡¨ or take ¡§it¡¨ back to the corporate masters, or learn from ¡§it¡¨ at the expense of comrades lives. Eggheads are always trying to understand the unknown, and get nearly everyone killed doing it. Get a clue, kill the guy with the pocket protector, he¡¦s going to sacrifice you anyway.
„X If the killer if after you and you somehow manage to knock him down don¡¦t get up and run for help. Believe me, he will stay down much longer after you kick him a couple times.
„X If the killer is standing three feet in front of you, don¡¦t just stand there and scream while he comes running towards you. It may comes as a shock, but he DOES in fact want to kill you.
„X A female should never wear a white shirt without a bra while escaping the monster. It will only increase your chances of falling and causing a freak rainstorm that will make your shirt transparent and result in your immediate death.
„X If you DO happen to get killed, make sure it¡¦s in a cheap low-budget gore-fest with no plot, so you can come back and kick ass, no explanation needed.
