movie before we begin we publish new

content for this list or looking at the
best things you can do or avoid doing to
ensure your survival in a scary flick
I’m drawing a line in the sand here do
not read the Latin number 10
never run up the stairs we’ve heard the
expression any port in the storm but
seriously why are you trying to run up
the stairs
for starters considering you’ll likely
be in a hurry and in full panic mode the
odds of you falling or slipping are
extremely high secondly in most houses
at least the front door is located
extremely close to the stairs so unless
it’s being blocked just leave the house
why would you want to trap yourself on
the second floor where you’d probably
have to jump out a window to escape
don’t do it
number nine put the camera down this is
particularly important if you find
yourself in a found footage film sure
someone may find your footage years from
now and you’ll be famous and known as
the person who recorded the killer or
disaster you’ll also probably be dead
come to think of it have you ever seen a
found footage flick where the person
behind the camera gets out alive we
didn’t think so you want to survive put
the camera down why are you trying to
film something that’s chasing you take a
mental picture and get the heck out of
there number eight call the police oh
thank god that’s out there this may seem
obvious but it’s amazing how many people
don’t call the police when some crazy
stuff starts to happen sure in the
majority of horror films the police are
bumbling idiots but their job is to
protect you let them at least try if you
see someone wearing another person’s
skin as a mask call the Popo also spend
a little extra money to get yourself a
portable phone charger you do not want
to die because you spend all day on
snapchat and have no battery left fine
I’ll get will total cops number seven
always check the car before getting in
in a rush we understand that you may
only be focused on escaping especially
when you get into your car but we
suggest taking an extra thirty Seconds
to check your car to make sure the
killer isn’t in there just waiting for
you
[Music]
the last thing you want is to be driving
away only to realize that the psychopath
is sitting in your back seat or hiding
in your trunk
furthermore if you’re left with no
option but to hide keep that head on a
swivel always assume the killer is gonna
be behind you
number six don’t go into creepy areas
for places what’s the deal with the
Addams Family mansion this one may seem
like common sense but it’s amazing how
many times people wander into creepy
places out of simple curiosity which
killed the cat for the record and it
might kill you too so don’t spend the
night in a haunted house if you somehow
do find yourself in one then don’t go
into the attic or basement while you’re
at it stay away from the dark and creepy
woods where you can’t see anything to
think people if you’re bored and looking
for something to do go play mini golf
you’ll thank us when you don’t die
number five don’t try to contact the
spirit world again seems like common
sense but we’ll make it crystal clear
for you do not contact the dead this may
be tempting if you’re trying to reach
out to someone you knew who recently or
not so recently passed away but don’t do
it it’s just plain stupid if you’re
doing it for fun or messing around with
the Ouija board this never ends well in
these types of films go get the board
the spirit you end up contacting is
always angry about something and will
likely ruin your life or at the very
least your night
tell us your safe
tell us where you are number four keep
your pants on I’ll be right back don’t
get dressed in it follows a supernatural
being relentlessly follows our
protagonist after she makes whoopee
anyone who’s seen a scary movie will
understand the irony here virgins are
typically the only safe ones in the
horror genre if you’re not a virgin be
extra careful and don’t sneak away for a
lustful encounter people that go all the
way on-screen are always the first to
die
number one you can never have sex heck
even taking your clothes off to have a
shower or bath can be risky
just ask Mary and crane or Nancy
Thompson the best thing you can do is
keep your clothes on at all times even
when bathing
mother
number three listen to any warning the
best part about being in a horror movie
if there is one is that you’ll almost
always be warned ahead of time nothing’s
going on except kids playing pranks
trick-or-treating parking getting high I
have the feeling that you’re way off on
this you have their own feeling rarely
do things just happen out of the blue
it’s up to you to listen to the warning
got enough to get you there getting back
down so when the creepy old lady tells
you not to go up to the house on the
hill listen to her if you get home and
find your front door open don’t go
inside if your dog is barking like crazy
don’t assume it’s just a squirrel
essentially use your head if something
seems off it probably is number two
finished the job
[Music]
clearly you didn’t listen to the tips on
this list or maybe you did but things
just went wrong anyway however you’ve
managed to survive and somehow
incapacitate the thing that’s hunting
you now is no time for celebration
however the worst thing you can do is
assume victory finish what you’ve
started
not in my movie we won’t get too graphic
here but use whatever means necessary to
ensure the thing is incapable of ever
recovering supernatural or not before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
number one never split up from the group
since we’re all together let’s split up
and look for more clues Fred Jones may
be the leader of the scooby-doo mystery
gang but you should never do what he
always suggests split up I think we
better split up good idea yeah we can do
more damage that way
for starters never ever go off on your
own you will get picked off and that is
not how you want to go if you’re in a
group of several people stick together
[Music]
it’s much easier to take down a
psychopath if you have other people
helping you do it plus all the other
tips on this list become much easier to
follow if you have multiple people there
helping you she’s right okay you three
