Things not to do in a horror movie/ survival-horror game

[Johanthemonster666]

What are some things that you see over and over in horror movies/games that should be avoided if you were in such a situation?

Cliche'examples- Avoid being the blond in a Jason movie?

-When someone tells you to go fix something (while they're safe in some air-locked control room)on a creepy space ship populated by necromorphs (Dead Space)....tell them to go f**k themselves and take off?

Don't go into the House.

And at all costs DON'T be Funny or Blond.

Don't ever get romantically involved with anybody. You will die. Oh, and don't go anywhere dark, don't go anywhere unarmed, don't go anywhere secluded, and STAY WITH THE GROUP!

 

[Disaster Button]

Don't be attractive or black and NEVER ignore the soundtrack or the audience.

 

[Last Bullet]

Never say "Is it gone?" Because it won't be. And then it will kill you.

Never, I repeat NEVER, appear in a horror movie as a meaningless character. You'll probably be the first to die. In a horror game, don't be a hero. Don't do anything you wouldn't normally do, and NEVER try to defeat the killer.

 

[Saargston]

Well, anyone who ever has sex in horror movies is always laid to rest, so as long as you stay a virgin, you'd probably have better chance of getting away in a chaste

 

[Miumaru]

Staying. One murder and Im gone. Bye.

Oh, I think I got the topic of this thread wrong. I thought it was "things that shouldn't be in horror movies/games". I was gonna say sex, cause nothing brings the storyline to a crashing halt like an arbitrary sex scene. Or maybe that was just Resident Evil, I can't be sure...

Never say "Lets split up we'll cover more ground" and if someone says that tell him he's an idiot and stick together.

Dont try to defeat the killer? Jason I understand, but sometimes its just some guy who has a weapon and walks slow. Sometimes its just like, just kill them yourselves. The Strangers I tihnk it was, was just crazy people. Human and killable.

Never split up, and never go exploring. If you sticke together, you'll make it out alive WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!

My list of useful tips for anyone involved in a horror scenario

1.When you see an abondoned house(spaceship, town, submarine) DON'T GO INSIDE YOU RETARDS!!! Especially if the lights are broken or flickering. Especially if they're flickering.

2.Don't follow the trail of blood... You know what they say about curiosity killing cats? Turns out that humans are NOT immune.

3.Don't go through the dark alley when being chased by a psychotic freak. They will always end up in front of you, and then stab you in the face.

4.Run further than five feet. The bad guys will catch up to you.

5.Just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they're not there.

6.Just because you DO see them, doesn't mean they don't have a buddy about to stab you in the back.

7.It's a good idea to AIM with a gun. Shooting blindly at an enemy is not a smart idea. You'll just run out of bullets.

8.It's easier to die alone then when you're working with others.

9.When you catch up to the guy who's been murdering your friends, don't give him a chance to surrender.

I think that's it.

Honestly, I would just run like hell, and going right at the villain trying to kill them isn't exactly the best way to get away from them. Killable or not.

 

[Resurrectionist]

Stick with your friends.
Don't pet the puppies.

 

[Extreme Pajamas]

Don't split up into teams of less than three, which is pretty much inviting death for a teaparty...mmmm scones..... Actually no, just don't split up at all.

Also as a general rule, don't say "it can't possibly get any worse." It will, and Murphy's Law will came will help in making that happen.

Always carry around a union approved job description.

Isaac could have avoided all of Dead Space had he just had a piece of paper saying "I am an engineer, not alien mother fucker-upper."

Wasn't alien mother fucker-upping part of his job description?
Why do you ask? He never thought he would run into any and the dental plan was great.

 

[ethaninja]

Don't be an egotistical douchebag/jock type. Or black. Or have a huge clevage. Those categories always bite it first.

Hahaha... it's true

He just goes from being the engineer to the Mr. Spick and Spam of unsightly necromorphs and giant monsters xD
