Tips for surviving horror movie situations

[Sojourner]

If you come home and find a window open that you know was closed, don't just shut it and go about your business. Proceed on the assumption that there's a stranger in your house who means you harm.

I feel like picking the right companion(s) is critical for surviving such a situation. It might seem pleasant to spend the adventure with an attractive member of the opposite sex, but that person is probably going to freeze up at some critical moment and cost you both your lives. Better to pick the biggest, ugliest goon you can find. The intimidation factor might even work on the killer!

That and having your Glock at the ready...

If a sound wakes you up at night, don't just raise up, look around and lay back down. Grab your gun and call 911.

If your dog either acts fearful or growls at seemingly nothing, consider that dogs are aware of things that are imperceptible to us, and be on guard. Especially if the hair on his neck bristles up.

That and having your Glock at the ready...

Always do.

The Glocks belong to my wife

Have I brought this up already? There's a fun game where you pick some famous person with your birthday and decide whether you'd survive a horror movie with them as a partner.

My son has the same birthday as Mr T. He's good to go "I pity the fool".

My stepson has the same birthday as Sean Bean (killed in Lord of the Rings, killed in Game of Thrones, in fact click me for a list of 24 different movies that he's died in. Obviously he's not surviving a horror movie.

I have Abraham Lincoln, who was reputedly extremely tough, so I'm good to go provided that there's no theatre in this horror movie. Omar Bradley would be a good second choice.

Anyone else want to play?

No one I would call to survive, except that I would use them to feed the monsters while I ran.

You are the monster.

When you tease me about my running just remember, in a horror situation I don't have to outrun the monster - I just have to outrun you

No doubt
And while I can run any more, I’m still strong enough to carry 2 fully loads 15 round magazines.  I just stop and wait for whatever it is that wants to chase me

Oh

And I can carry $100 worth of groceries in one hand…

What you really need is the ability to hold a fully loaded gattling gun in one hand, like Arnold Schwarzenegger did in the movie Predator.

Most people can hold a candy bar in one hand....
