Happy Halloween!!

Halloween is tomorrow and at this spookiest time of the year, I felt that I should remind you of some rules and facts that we have learned from horror films....

The basic horror movie survival rules, as set by Randy at the first Scream movie are:

#1: You can never have sex - sorry guys, sex equals death :-) 
#2: You can never drink or do drugs - The sin factor! It's a sin. It's an extension of number one.
#3: Never, ever, ever under any circumstances say, "I'll be right back." Because you won't be back.

And of course, at a horror film, you push the laws and you end up dead. 

Scream, 1996

Then again, it's those situations where you know that it's going to end up a horror film: let's say if you took a winter job in an isolated hotel, thinking that you will have time to work on your writing.... We can all guess how it's going to turn out:

The Shining, 1980

Also avoid showers... Especially in creepy motels with creepy motel owners with weird fixations on their mother....

Psycho, 1960

You might want to also avoid school dances: you never know when some girl is going to mental after a school prank!

Carrie, 2013 (remake of the original 1976 film)

Then we have the occasional vampires, zombies, warewolves and evil spirits, but don't worry we have Buffy for all that ;-) 

Happy Halloween everybody!!!
