10 ways to survive a SLASHER movie. (Halloween Edition!)

So recently in the last three months or something, I wrote a post about 10 ways that one could use to survive a horror movie. And people seemed to like it! So I figured, with one of the spookiest days of the year coming close, why not do another post similar to that! Hooray!

Slasher films are very different than horror movies though. Horror movies are movies that make you afraid to go to bed without some sort of light. Like IT, Get Out, or The Shining. Slasher films are the ones that make you not trust your friends and make you paranoid. Films like Halloween, Scream, or Nightmare on Elm Street.

Just like any movie where the main goal of the character is to survive, these people do the craziest stuff. SO I feel the need to make another list for you all.

Now normally I would have characters to help me show these, but I don't really have any that would best fit these scenarios.

1. Don't move to a town with a history of murders. Or even better, avoid any place with a history of murders. Especially when  done by a serial killer. It boggles my mind that kids still went to Crystal Lake camp, or that people still lived in Woodsboro. Like I said in the horror one. Research people. It can't hurt.

2. Don't be alone when there is a masked murderer on the loose. You should at least be in a group of four or more people so that way if you all stick together, you guys have a better shot of all getting out alive. Being alone, or with your love interest, or even with a few buddies won't do you any good if you are outside taking out the trash and Ghostface kills you.

3. In case you skipped that last step, I am just gonna say it again in different context. Splitting up, is the worst thing one can do in a scary movie. Separating yourselves from the group, makes it easier for a killer to kill you. You're basically just "investigating a cracking noise coming from the woods, and Jason will be like "It must be Christmas!" and kill you. If you're in a group, and get attacked it's easier to make sure more people come out safe. Unless it's like Scream and there's more than one killer. Then you best run as fast as you can.

4. Don't assume your boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend/family member isn't the killer. If that killer is wearing a mask and it could be anyone. It could even be me. Your love for these people will not change the fact that, if any of these above people were the killer, they will kill you. (See Scream 1-4, and Scream the tv series.) Be very careful who you trust.

5. If someone is calling you and threatening you, there is a good chance you are being watched. Now here your options are very limited. Don't go outside. There is a good chance they are outside waiting for you to come out. Keeping that in mind, it is also not a good plan to cut off your escape by locking windows and doors or by going upstairs. Your best bet is to hang up the phone and call the police. The killer might be trying to keep you on the phone and distracted so you won't find them. After calling the police, arm yourself and wait.

6. Now in the situation that there is a killer in your house and they are after you, do not go upstairs unless you plan on jumping out the window. Even then you probably wouldn't survive the fall. Your best bet is to run outside and away from your house as fast as you can. Run to a place where there's a lot of people or towards the police station.

7. If there is a masked killer on the loose, stay away from Halloween parties/costume parties. In Scream 2, a woman was killed in a theater of people, some of whom were dressed as the killer from the first movie, by the killer of the second movie. On stage.

8. Now I know that most of you reading would not do this, but I feel the need to say this. Don't flirt with the killer. If you see a shady looking guy in a mask and hood, don't make flirty remarks. He was flirtatiously slice yo throat.

9. If someone texts you out of the blue, and you've heard rumors that they A.) Might be responsible for murder, or B.) Might be dead Don't answer them. Don't have text conversations unless you know fully well that the person on the other end is really who they say they are. Otherwise...

10. This one might be the most important. If there is news that someone is killing people in your town... I wasn't actually going to say this when I first wrote this step but moving out. Moving out works just as much as this. I was actually going to say, don't try and figure out who is murdering people. That's just stupid. That's how most slasher victims die. :) Be smart. Also yeah. Moving out of that town would work too. Seriously I... Hold on guys I'll be right back. Something is making a sound outside and I am home all alone. Let me just go out there with no protection and I'll be right back!



Wow. That guy was an idiot. He literally just walked outside. Yeah... Don't worry about him though...



Just kidding guys. I am not dead. :) Also I am not home alone. I was attempting humor.
Thanks for reading! Hope you all enjoyed and please stay safe this Halloween. I should be back to posting semi-regularly soon! Stay fluffy! BUHBYEEEEEE
