I learned these lessons from watching horror movies.
1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, never check to see if
it's really dead.
2. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.
3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.
4. When you have the benefit of numbers, don't go alone.
5. Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a grave,
tomb, crypt, mausoleum, or other house of the dead.
6. If you're searching for something which caused a noise and find out that
it's just the cat, leave the room immediately
if you value your life.
7. If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.
8. If you find a town which looks deserted, it's probably for a reason.
Take that hint and leave immediately.
9. If you're running from a monster, expect to trip or fall down at least
twice, more if you are of the female persuasion.
Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is
merely rambling along, it's still moving fast
enough to catch up with you.
10. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior
such as hissing, fascination for blood, glow-
ing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, run away from them as fast as
possible.
11. Stay away from certain geographical locations. Examples are:
Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania,
the Bermuda Triangle.
12. If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the nearby
deserted-looking house to phone for help.
13. If you see a town that looks deserted except for children, do not try
to 'help' them. Those children will eat you.
14. Do not allow crewmates back aboard the craft if and after you have
found a hideous parasite attached to his/her body.
15. Be forewarned that a gun is only good for ALMOST killing the
monster--never for COMPLETELY killing it. Be sure to
have an extra weapon, preferably one with a "flair" (a knife, a harpoon, pop
tarts...)
16. Don't open the closed door, especially if you hear scratching, heavy
breathing, or the voice of a dear relative
whom you knew was dead.
18. Never camp or build homes on Indian burial grounds.
19. If the phone lines are dead, and you hear footsteps upstairs, and you
say "Tom... Tom is that you?" and Tom does
not answer, RUN!!!
20. If you have to run away, taking a bus is your best bet. If you take a
car, the monster will be in the car.
