Introduction
Look around you, does where you are look uniformly ominous. Are you being chased by an unusually powerful or intelligent being. Well congratulations! You are in a horror film! It may not sound that great because it is not. You are probably going to die, but if you read this guide you might not. So let’s get started!
The most important thing I could tell anyone in your situation right now is “don’t be stupid”. It has been said in so many television shows and movies. “Dont go in there you’ll — see I told her not to go there!” yelling at the movie screen. It has been so overused in comedy that it has become a meta-cliché. So make sure that you, if you do not want to die, stay calm and don’t be stupid.

First, think of all the horror films you have heard of or seen: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Chucky. The majority of horror films are predictable (Carroll 97). Slasher films are especially predictable: run, scream, die, in no particular order. If you read this guide then you are not going to do that. I assure you.
Night One: The Chase
Know who is chasing you. As a rule of thumb the person trying to kill you is most likely a human (Iaccino 130). You most likely will not know who is trying to kill you until you see them face to face because it will be a shock to you as much as it is the audience (Iaccino 130). When you come face to face with the murderer and survive assess whether they fall into one of these categories, large and bulky, average and thin or short and small.
If they are large and bulky do not try to outrun them. They will not move because both of you know who will win a race, You’ll lose sight of them and they will appear out of nowhere in a few minutes. Instead back up slowly and look for an open field or climb to higher ground. Keep them in sight. Stare them down until they get bored and walk
