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

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
