SCREAM rules for horror films...

[CarolinePar]

:banghead:
ok...
I know at least a few of y;all could easily recite the "rules" for horror films - but that is an emphasis on easy --
your challenge is this...
how many rules for horror films can we as TH forum members create before we repeat or post one found in the SCREAM movies?

up for it???

ready...set -
GO!!!

I'll start:
Do not go swimming at the beach during July 4th;*things* in the water have NO sense of USA pride!

Burn the body, chop it up, dump acid on it, do whatever you gotta do to make sure the killer aint getting back up.

[CarolinePar]

niiiice -- but how can you be sure?

Be nice to the extra shy girl at the Prom, *especially* if she gets a crown!

[mrblue]

If you get bit by a zombie you gotta have your brains blown out.

If she doesn't, don't rub it in; let her know it'll be OK (even if she ain't the killer, you'll get brownie points for not being a jackass and have a little better chance of living)

Briggs you consist-taint-ly amaze me!

Don't have a pet
Ants,Birds, Cats, Dogs....(do I really need to go into more deatail with this one?)

When having sex in the woods always make sure the killer that's on the loose is at least a few miles away before fornicating.

[mrblue]

If something crashes from space don't go investigating.

[NicoleMayCanaday]

Just don't go in the fucking uncharted cave.

[Throwing Stones]

If you daughter begins to spew vomit, eat her own feces, and begins to climb the walls, do NOT waste your time. You can't save her.

[NicoleMayCanaday]

Listen to the town sheriff when they tell you to get out of the water.

[mrblue]

Don't go around raping city girls.

[FreddysFingers]

When you hear a strange noise coming from the darkened cellar, closet, basement, car, trunk, forest, toolshed, boat, bed underside, cargo hold, sewer or enclosed area in department store... stay the fuck out and walk away!!! Don't inspect it!

[mrblue]

If you find all your friends slaughtered don't call the cops get the fuck out of town.

[Dr. Briggs]

If you find yourself trapped in a somewhat enclosed situation with others, with someone seemingly stalking you and smug "rules" promising ironic revenge-deaths to each of you: Never villify the obligatory bitch and/or asshole in the group. If you can, make them feel special as possible for three reasons.

1) Keep them from going psycho and letting the "chessmaster" inwardly laugh at your fighting and killing amongst yourselves
2) They may just have self-esteem problems which lead to their asshole-ness. Nurturing their personalities in such a situation could actually prove therapeutic.
3) If you can keep them in line, you can probably keep the rest of the group in line and on their way to escaping as well. Plus, the person who kidnapped you, usually the quiet "victim" of the group, will get pissed off that the one they most likely wanted revenge on the most is given such special treatment and will start to crumble before your eyes, possibly outing themselves. :p

[Throwing Stones]

When you see a small rash start to spread on your girlfriend's arm and they try to hide it during a zombie attack, kick them the hell outta the car.

[mrblue]

Never go skinny dipping at a cursed campsite.

[Throwing Stones]

When you wake up in the middle of the night to find demon claw prints next to your bed in the baby powder you sprinkled down, by all means - put up a for sale sign the next day.

[mrblue]

Always check the backseat.

[NicoleMayCanaday]

NEVER underestimate the buddy system.
