The horror genre has one of the most divest selections of sub genres in the film industry. As such there are many crazy situations to be stuck in. Which do you think you could survive the best in?

Hm...an interesting question! Let me over-think this for a bit...

It all depends on the type. Classic shufflers are no problem whatsoever. Bash out their teeth and they can't even infect you. Running zombies are a bigger challenge and I don't see long term survival there. I'm not in a city-center like I used to be though but I don't trust the wilderness. Return of the Living Dead style zombies (ie: "Send more paramedics.") are unkillable, therefore I'd be FUCKED IN A BIG WAY.

Your average run of the mill slasher is looking for either a family member, 'friend' or trespasser. I'm pretty quick and my ankles are surprisingly strong. I don't often have sex and I never engage in drugs or alcohol so I'd say my chances of survival are pretty big. As for the Freddy Krugar type of slasher...I'm a semi-lucid dreamer who can turn nightmares into violent, violent, murder dreams. I think I can hold my own against a Krugar, kinda like Elm Street 3 only I'm not playing it like a parody, I'm going all out.

These kind of things generally happen in big cities. I used to live in a suburb of DC but now I'm about an hour away from Atlanta so worst case scenario would be me seeing footage of the brawl on the news. If it's a scenario like in the movie Monsters and, Troll Hunter than I'd be a bit more screwed since I'm in a rural area, living on a farm. The giant monsters will come for the cows and stay for me. I really don't see myself lasting against Clover, Dinosaurs, Godzilla or, one of his regulars.

They never take prisoners...so I'm likely fucked. I'm far away from any important monuments so that should keep me safe for a while.

I think I'm screwed here too. I can't hide so well from infa-red imagery, night vision mode, etc. More screwed than with aliens. My only real weapon would be logical paradoxes.

Final Destination, Ring, One Missed Call style curses can't be avoided. Not really. I'm fuck-uk-uk-UUUUUKED. Being haunted by a ghost or poltergeist is another issue though. For the most part they only get pissed if you own something of their like a home or keepsake. I'm not enough of a materialist to keep a haunted home or McGuffin.

Dracula and Nosferatu are bi-sexual, attacking anyone. They won't recruit me in their harem so I'll just be a snack...if I was in their part of the world anyway. Mummy's are also territorial and I'm thousands of miles from those areas. Dr. Frankenstein is a guy I'd like to hang out with and his monster is just misunderstood. I wouldn't mess with his though and I'd keep fire away from the guy. The Wolfman is another issue but he's normally in Europe so I'm safe so long as he stays there or, I stay away from him during the full moon.

Overall, I think a Curse would be the one I can't survive no matter what. Drag me to Hell would be the absolute worst case scenario. I think I'd have the best chance against slow-moving zombies.

The one bit where the serial killer is sitting in the closet and the dumb girl walks slowly towards it to open it. At that point I'd have the sense to get the hell out of there.

Zombies. I've had my plan for years now. Steal a boat. Live at sea. Raid ports for supplies and to let off steam by smashing a few zombie skulls. Return to sea, fat and sated.

I chose the Universal Horror monsters. They seem a lot easier and not as wide spread as the others.
Dracula: garlic, crosses and a pointy stick.
Werewolf: If I had a day to prepare, it would be easy to get a gun and make silver bullets. That or get out a chainsaw.
Frankenstein: Slow moving target. Chainsaw or headshot.

I think I'd be screwed with the others. Maybe not the slasher one though...

The Friday the 13th type stuff, because i'd have enough sense to not go where the killer is hiding, with the exception of Nightmare on Elm Street.

Cursed/Ghosts.

Grab the crucifix, fill up the holy water, memorize my favorite scriptures, throw on a long duster, snag the wide brimmed hat, and load a nice shotgun in case the occultists come. Seriously. All you need is the word of God and Christ.

Atheists, admit it. These are awesome images.

Go figure, watching Ju-on when this thread comes up, damn creepy ass movie...

Zombies I'd be fine have a plan and am ready to go.

Slasher really depends on the genre, I could probably get away by using common sense but a dedicated slasher will kill me regardless.

I can probably avoid a giant monster attack by just bailing out of the city. I'm right on the edge as it is so a quick bike ride and I'm in a relatively safe zone.

Aliens will probably hunt me down and kill me, not much I can do.

For robots see aliens.

A curse could potentially kill me outright regardless of what I do, so its pretty much 50/50.

The universal monsters are also a bit of a 50/50, depeds which one comes gunning for me and the rules they follow.

I think zombies. I can be quite resourceful when I need to be and I'm in good shape, though I don't have very many weapons around here, but I could find some no problem.

Slasher. I'd just get int he car and drive away. Most slasher villains are slow and only attack the easy targets in the middle of nowhere, if you drive to a city then you're safe.

I often wonder why it is only Christian symbols seem to work against these monsters/demons. I mean what if I used Taoist or Buddhist symbols and purification techniques? What if I had a star of David? Man, these monsters are so insensitive to other peoples' faiths.

That said, assuming it's the shuffling zombies from a World War Z style world or a classic Dawn of the Dead, probably that. I'm in a rural area with little to no people and everybody is armed to the teeth.

slasher. even more so if it's one of those you get a phone call it's from the murder "I can see you" or strange noise coming from another room and I'm gtfo if it's the cabin in the woods and some goes missing I'm gone no they come back let's wait no let's go looking for them I'm gone. I'm in a group like in I know what you did last summer and 1 of us dies I'm leaving the country and joining a monastery in some remote location.So more or less and genre of slasher can be escape by using some common sense and getting the heck out of there (house, town, city, country)


Giant monster same thing. Leave the city or area it is attacking

Anything with a giant animal, like Lake Placid, I just wouldn't go near the lake, simple

Hopefully they're slow moving ones, but if there the new fast ones that are popular, I won't be so lucky. But it shouldn't be too bad, provided I know ahead of time that an outbreak has happened and I just barricade myself in a suped up School bus.

Does this entitle a killer is in my area or I stumble into a killers home turf? I honestly don't know, this is one of those ones where if I knew before hand, I'd be much better prepared. Apparently though, I'm the brave boyfriend type who is the last person to die. According to facebook that is.

I've got this one in the bag. I never understood how a giant monster could giver such a giant death toll, provided you weren't in the army or an unsuspecting building structure. Basically, just treat it like a tornado. Hide underground in a place where it can't reach.

Not to sure, I doubt I'd be around long if they had better technology than us

I'd like to think so if I hung around with John Connor. Worst comes to worst, I can survive on the land without an internet connection. Bring it T1000.

I saw the Ring. The amount of shit I'd have to do to become unhaunted pretty much crosses this one out, no fucking way.

I'm pretty much boned. Most likely would kill myself, come to think of it.

Not to sure. Basically, just stay back and try to play off the innocent bystander. No need to get heroic here, I'm just gonna try to not be the old lady that get's eaten on the Subway in American Werewolf in London (or was it France?)

Not only are slashers just really pissed off people(Assuming that we're following the laws of basic physics), and that they tend to walk around really slowly whilst telegraphing their attacks, I think I could survive alright. I could also get the couple of black belts I know to help me out. Or... you know... call the cops

Giant monster attack. Since I live in Mississippi and giant monsters DEFINITELY only attack important cities and places I should be fine...right? Any other situation I'd imagine I might be dead fairly quickly.
