A/N So sorry for the delay! Summer was manic (in a good way!) and left no time for updating! Hope this doesn't disappoint. Please review. Reviews feed the muse- flames cook the marshmallows!


36. Broken legs/ arms and bullet wounds HURT

No matter how painless it looks to jump out of that second story window and continue running (possibly with a small limp) - broken bones HURT. As do gun-shot wounds. Unless you have an unnaturally high (and I do mean HIGH) pain threshold- try to avoid jumping from the second story window, into the path of the bullet etc.

37. When running from your adversary in the house- try grabbing the phone on the way past

That goes double if it’s cordless.

Yes they may have cut the wires- but it’s worth a go! Plus if it’s cordless you can throw it at them and maybe slow them done if you get a direct hit!

38. Always take the middle bed

When given the choice the middle is always the best. You will not be the first thing the psycho/ wolf/ zombie/ evil thing will see if they enter via the door OR window therefore giving you time to escape. Plus it will give you the choice of escape routes AND you won’t be the last!

Middle bed rules

39. When being chased women should always turn around and kick the bad guy between the legs

Certainly the most effective method I can think of to make him hit the deck quicker than you can think. Just make sure you don’t get yourself killed in the process (i.e. does he have a gun/ long sword/chainsaw? Best keep running then)

40. Always check the back seat

The bad guy chasing you has mysteriously disappeared- and oh look your car! What a strange co-incidence!

The backseat is a favourite hiding spot for all sorts of evil things…best check it before we so anxiously lock ourselves in with them

41. Never hesitate to kill the evil thing/psycho

They have been trying to kill you for the last 2 plus hours. You finally have them at your mercy- fully aware that if they escape they will continue to kill--and you hesitate?!?! THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU AND THOSE AROUND YOU. Survival is the name of the game here people

42. Avoid those who take the whole “avoiding the sun” thing too far…

I can think of only one reason a person would avoid direct sunlight like it was death itself…..

43. Full Moon- carry silver

Relates again to rule 9 (such a handy rule that 9)

Preferably a silver sword or bullets (with gun) - but any silver will do.

44. Holy water is your friend

Vampires, demons, evil creatures in general... they all hate the stuff. Plus it can double as your bottle of water! Just don’t drink it all- an empty bottle that once held Holy water is just not scary….

45. Animal mutilations are never the work of local kids or wildlife

Take note of when these are happening and act accordingly.

Full Moon? Buy/make silver swords/ bullets/ daggers etc

Satanic/ black magik signs? Evil witch. Find the source of her power and blast it to hell with a rocket launcher

None of those? Check to make sure that no graves have been disturbed...

You get the idea

46. Strings of deaths involving neck wounds- carry crosses/stakes/Holy water

Again relates to 9 (see how often that rule comes up?)

Start learning to aim for the heart and how to best to strike. Maybe some cross-bow lessons?

Don’t leave the house at night unless you must. And for the love all things Holy- don’t invite the cool-but-very-pale-never-seen-in-the-middle-of-the-day-guy/gal into your house! (Or any very pale looking person for that matter- unless you saw them walking up to your house in the bright daylight! Even then...be wary)

47. Neck biting fetish? Avoid

Links to the previous rule.

No matter how cute s/he is- it’s so not worth it! Unless the whole drinking blood, immortality, soulless thing appeals. Just remember you will be dead so you can’t really call it a whole new life together….

48. Lots of deaths connected to you? Move

Do the string of murders seem to be focused around you somehow? Maybe you are being stalked by a psycho killer or possibly a ghost/spirit has latched onto you. In either case- move.

49. When you have hit psychopath over head- never look away as when you look back they won’t be there

It is one of those annoying facts but psychopaths etc are really hard to kill! I mean you have shot them, hit them over the head, pushed them down the stairs- and not even a scratch! Be safe…

50. Shoot the “dead” guy/thing a few more times before checking it is really dead.

Just when you think it’s dead and you go to make sure- it/he suddenly sits up trying to kill you AGAIN. It’s just not fair how much these guys survive- would love to know how they do it, but somehow they do. Always shoot them a few more times in the head AND heart before approaching.

Burn them till they are dust just to extra safe (and any satisfaction in doing so is an added bonus!)

This leads into….

51. You have survived! Congratulations! Now- watch out, cause you are going to go through all this again!

Sequels are a -----! You think it is finally over- after all the sun is shining, the bad guy/thing is dead/behind bars/ crippled/now a good guy…..

Then along comes the sequel!

And so the list continues….


A/N Thinking of a sequel under the possible heading "How to Survive A Real Life Horror Movie Sequel" what do you think?

Credit given where credit due:

39. Thanks for this Endsville! Nice idea!

40. Loved this x0eternity0x!

Thanks for all your kind words! Hopefully see you in the sequel
