Poll: What Horror movie Situation would you do best in?

[Xprimentyl]

Giant monster attack; seriously, you see them coming from a mile away and their whole intent is mass destruction; they're never worried abou ONE person, so I'd just get in muh car and drive off. Granted, all my shtuff'd be screwed, but I think that's pretty much a given in all the scenarios.

 

[Robert Ewing]

I'd like to think in a zombie situation, but thinking about it... I'd probably do very averagely compared to everyone else. If I was aware that a zombie apocalypse would hit, then my chances would increase by 100%, but if I woke up and the world was zombie infested (Like I always imagine how it would be when I think about it) Then I'd do averagely.

So... Zombie attack? But I know about it a few days in advance.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Slasher, I like guns, my care always starts, decent runner, and im pretty good with my fists.

 

[r0kle0nZ]

Zombies, since whenever anyone watches a Zombie movie they think of their own plan.

I for one, live on the outskirts of a city, so I could hightail it out in a hurry. Live near a Military Instillation, so if shit hits the fan, I'll hold out there because the Zombie Survival Guide said so. Also, I have a pretty decent amount of usable weaponry in my room. A Katana being one of them.

So, yeah Zombie plans, everyone may laugh at it! However, when it doesn't happen I'll be prepared!

I'd say I'd probably do ok in all of those because I'm white and by the Laws of Hollywood have a 2.73455 greater chance of survival.

If your a white virgin then there is 58% chance providing you don't masterbate or think of sex

Unless you're an awkward virgin, then the chances of death increase exponentially in relation to the awkwardness, I believe it was chance of death=awkwardness squared +2.43532

Its a dangerous tight rope this im screwed any way haven't been a virgin for seven years i think i will stay away from the creepy attic people die in lol

Spoiler: zombies

I've collect a lot of weapons so I probably could kill lots of them, but surviving without other people isn't my forte

Spoiler: slasher

I would kill the guy the first time st least, but these guys tend to not stay dead

Spoiler: giant mosnster

let's see, if you read my zombie entry you know I collect weapons, and I'm most likely going to be more agile than the monster so, forget just surviving I'm gonna kill it, thousand cuts style (of course it'd probably take like, an hour to do it)

Spoiler: aliens

Well, I guess I would join the underground resistance once they started actually invading, yeah I can hurt em, but unlike with the monster I'm at a disadvantage for maneuverability, so yeah, I'm kinda fucked

Spoiler: robots

I live in a small town and don't own any robots, they'd probably just leave me alone

Spoiler: curse/ghosts

Well, I've got plenty of religious symbols around my house, and I'll use the power of the internet to look up uncursing rituals

Spoiler: universal

I'd probably be fine, as with the ghosts I've got tons of religious symbols, and I could probably make silver and wooden bullets.

I'd probably be best with giant monster

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I would say zombies, because I have a plan that almost 100% guarantees survival......But considering that the plan is "move up to the arctic circle when the warning signs show, but before the panic", I don't know if that counts.

If I was IN a horror situation...I'd probably do best in your generic monster flic (dracula, etc). For one, I would be the guy going "no. No we are NOT !@#$ing splitting up. I will kill the next person to suggest that!"

And then I'd die first because I'm the funny guy, and the funny guy always goes first. Or second. Right after the skeptic.

EDIT: Since everyone else is doing it...

Spoiler: zombies

If I had warning? I would survive. I would go to the arctic with my family, my GF and anyone else I care about that can be convinced to come.

If it happens overnight...I'm screwed. I know the zombie survival rules, but I'm not in the best shape and have no real weapons, nor do I know how to handle a gun, assuming we could find some up here in the Canadian suburbs.

Spoiler: slasher

I would die. Pissing my pants, probably. Unless I got the jump on the guy with a weapon/chair/staff. Then I would start hitting and not stop, then grab his knife and start mutilating the corpse.

but yeah, I'd probably die. I might be smart enough to know not to go into obviously dangeuos places and all....but I'm a wimp. If I run into the guy and I don't have a clear advantage....I'm dead.

Spoiler: giant mosnster

Run. Just run. There is no freakin way I can take on Cthulu or godzilla. I'd MAYBE survive?

Spoiler: aliens

If they cannot be talked down, I will probably just sit on my hands and wait for the end. I have no weapons, and they have super advanced tech. I'll just wait for someone else to save us, or for the end to come.

Spoiler: robots

I'm a programming noob. The worst I could do it make them do an infinite loop that divides by zero. And only if they're running on Java. I think I'll just run. And die. Terribly.

Spoiler: curse/ghosts

Ok, A ghost I could maybe deal with. I'd sit down and just say "look, You're obviously upset about something. Here's a white board and a pen. Tell me what the problem is so we can help you." And if all he wants is my death...well !@#$. I'm screwed.

If I'm cursed? ...Make a very very veeeeery nice apology to the person that cursed me, and beg for them to remove it. If that's not an option, and the power of love can't stop it...I'll BRB and take a toooon of sleeping pills. I don't want to get murdered in a terrible terrible way or get dragged slowly into an underworld I don't really believe in. although when there, if someone asks "what are you in for?" I'd reply with "some asshole cursed me. I'm actually not a bad guy! and when that asshole comes down here too, I'll make sure he has a worse time than me!"

Spoiler: universal

I know a good chunk of the rules. I should be OK. And if I'm up against dracula, and works with the rules of "he fears whatever artifact relates to your faith that you actually believe in", I will go "I believe in the infinite power of the universe. Ergo, the entire WORLD is that artifact. Where are you gonna run now?! >: D"

Although if I get werewolfized, I would try my hardest to master the curse and use it.

You have clearly never seen a giant monster movie ever have you. Weapons don't really work on them. Its like fighting a giant Incredible Hulk. Bullets and missles bounce off of them and blades would never be able to cut into their flesh. Only another Giant monster or a super weapon (i.e. Oxygen Destroyer) can kill one. Plus it could fry you if it had a beam weapon. Though if its King Kong you would be fine. Bullets hurt him.

Zombies. Zombies, zombies, zombies. Every nerd I know(myself included) has his or her own plan for the zompocolypse. I actually have several, depending on where I am, if my brother's with me and what kind of zombies they are.

Universal seems easiest, life would suck a bit, but by being Genre savvy you'd be safe. Star indoors when dark, have mirrors, religiuous icons, silver and wooden bullets.

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.

Depends on the lore, sometimes it's because the Christians hunted vampires the most, espeically with stuff like the inquisition. Or because Dracula was originally a Christian. Other times it's simply has to be an object of faith, generally because Vampires are considered soulless creatures. But I think the best one is where it has to an object of faith with someone who actually believes in it to work.

When the X-men fought Dracula a cross made by Wolverine wouldn't repell him, but one used by Nightcrawler (a devout catholic) did. Also Kitty Pryde's Star of David worked. In a Doctor Who episode from the old series a Russian Communist and staunch party supporter repells a vampire with his army badge where a young Priest who has doubts fails.

There are other variations like it has to be the vampires original belief (you're screwed with Atheists and Nihlists) or sometimes its just one of many myths made up by the vampires to remove attention from themselves.

But what if I'm such a devout atheist that I carry around a Darwin fish and a copy of The God Delusion or God is Not Great with me and my... let's call it "knowlege" is stronger than another's faith?

Then that might deter the Vampire, but then again it might not simply because your belief might not carry the unquestioningly fanatical weight that relgious ones do.

As I said in the post above with the communist example, it might not even need to be a religious/non religious belief, sufficient belief in any person or object might repell them. Really depends on what lore we're working from.
