Halloween advice
Oct. 31st, 2003 02:14 pmThere's a comment thread on
wicked_wish's livejournal about rules for surviving Halloween/your typical horror movie. My contribution: "Run, don't hide. Run OUT. Run AWAY. Do not run upstairs, unless you're in the basement. Do not run downstairs, unless you're above the ground floor. DO NOT HIDE. Hiding never works, and this is one game of hide-n-seek you do NOT want to lose."
Also, if you ever--by some miracle of luck or clean living--get the initiative, never, ever let up! Say you're grappling with the monster and you flail around in utter despair...and you hit in the head with an axe or a baseball bat, or you catch it a good one in the chest with a shotgun round.
Don't run. Chop/hit/shoot it again. And again and again and again. Remove the head. Dismember it. Kill it very, very thoroughly. (And, frankly, if it gets up after you've decapitated and dismembered it, just shoot yourself and get it over with.)
