As you may not know, I am a pretty big fan of horror films, and I'd sometimes imagine what it would be like if I was in one.

Since I'm black, I'd probably be one of the first to die.

But if I manage to make it passed the first 25 minutes of the film, I would be sure to follow a particular set of rules to keep myself alive. Of course, one could use as many tips as possible, so if you know any, please post. I wanna live!

Here are mine:

1. Don't be a blonde. As I have noticed, the blonde is usually the first to die in a horror film, so if you're a blonde, and a killer is on the loose, dye your hair as black as possible.

2. Don't take a piss outside at night. If you do this, you're asking to get killed. The killer will just sneak up behind you, so hold your pee, man. You might not want to wait long enough to get home, but if you pee outside, you won't live long enough to finish.

3. Don't be the only black person. Let's be real, black people only exist in horror movies to die, so if you're black and you're going out, bring at least three of your black friends. Odds are, only one of you will be killed. The rest of you can hightail it the hell out of there.

4. No sex. The people who get dirty will get dumped in the dirt, so no sex until the killer is officially dead. If you're a virgin, good for you. Stay one.

5. If you hear a scream, run as far away from that scream as possible. Don't waste time trying to figure out who's doing the screaming. They'll be dead by the time you find them. Just get the hell out of there.

6. Get yourself a gay friend, and follow him everywhere he goes. Gay men are usually immune from being killed in horror films, so make friends with one, and you might survive. If you yourself are gay, be the leader of your group. If you're all gay, this tip is useless.

7. Never drink. The one who refuses the invitation to drink is usually the one who lives the longest. Avoid drinking to maintain all senses of judgment and coordination.

Well, those are my tips. You got any?

Prometheus Spoilers: The only black person was actually their head honcho and a martyr so homeboys don't always get mistreated.

How do I know if I'm being filmed? Don't be egoistic, stupid or audacious.

True that with the spoiler, and that was also the case with Alien vs Predator, only she didn't die.

You're right, there are a few exceptions, but they're rare.
Don't be too much of a hero or you'll end up sacrificing yourself for the others to survive/escape. But don't be too much of a selfish bastard/villain or you'll end up getting what's coming to you in the end.

So essentially be very very neutral.

- Beg the writers of the horror movie you're starring in to let you live.

- When you're running from a killer, don't fall.

- Stay in large groups. A killer can't kill you in a crowd. ( Well they could, but they would need a gatling gun to level the crowd.)

- When you are fighting for your life, don't be afraid to eye gouge. Eye gouging can stop a fight immediately. (Killer can't kill you if he's blind.)

- Don't be a hero. There's no need to be the "Nice guy". If you have an opportunity to escape, but you don't want to leave anyone behind. You say "Fuck you guys, I want to be in the sequel!" and then run like hell.

Don't go to a cabin in the woods, or any place with little to no populace.

Reading what you wrote about the cabin reminds me of another good tip.

Don't go to a place you've never been to. It is always good to be familiar with your surroundings, so staying away from unfamiliar areas will make it easier for you to seek help.

Don't be the killer unless you're Jason or Freddy.

Stay away from people who generally look like a killer.

Keep a gun on you at all times.

make sure all the doors are locked and shades drawn before you're left alone in the house.

run out of the front door, not the up the stairs.

if hiding, put your phone on vibrate or take the battery out.

if you're running, don't stop and look behind you.

unless you're the main character, don't try to fight the killer head on.

Run. Just run. Don't give anyone any second chances. Never stay at one place for a certain amount of time.

Do not go into an old asylum warehouse boiler room or haunted house... Youre asking for it if you do.

Always question a free trip out of the blue. If you didnt buy it dont go. Someones luring you.

Get rid of all lights. The killer cant murder what the killer cannot see.

Finish the killer off by decapatation. Theres no coming back from being headless.

If you smoke pot you will surely die.

If youre with a group and you get seperated just leave them. Theyre probably dead. Dont go back for them.

Be a ninja.

Keep your car keys clipped on you. If they drop then you drop.

If you're the killer make sure your last victim is 95% dead before you reveal your plan and why you did it.

Don't do drugs that impair you speed or vision. Try Coke or Ice so you can take the mother fucker down like Tony would.

-If you hear a noise in the dark never shout hello or go and investigate.

-If you are a nerd, then you will probably die, but you will go out like a hero.

-Don't be a freaking idiot. For real. If people actually used their brains in horror movies the survival rate would multiply tenfold.
