The Burbs: IDGAF what my neighbors are doing and you shouldn't either.

Evil Dead: Reading Books? I'll wait for the movie.

Tremors: Leave

The Purge: Fake wound and blood and inject a paralyzer. Play dead until morning. Wonder if they visited that in the sequels because I have only watched the first.

I know this is a shitpost but I can't help myself, paralytic drugs also paralyze your diaphragm and only last a few minutes. Pancuronium is the longest lasting paralytic and a single dose will get you 60-90 mins max. Youd spend your time fully conscious while suffocating and be dead before anyone could notice your sweet prosthetic makeup.

Also, you'd still have a pulse and warmth/color to your skin. Paralytics don't stop your heartbeat, and are know to raise it to dangerous levels or cause dysrhythmias if not carefully controlled. So anything more than a passing glance (assuming you lived long enough for it to matter) would immediately give up the game and you'd be defenseless

I hope you like rock climbing and walking through desert terrain, cuz in Tremors the valley's one exiting road is blocked by a rock slide, so leaving isn't as easy done as it is said.

My survival suggestion is, "never assume the monster is dead until you have removed its head from its body."

Doesn't work in Return of the Living Dead.

Seven: Idgaf about catholicism but this one really fucked me up.

It's probably not even a real horror movie for some; I'm just not for this genre at all.

The Fly (80s version) is one of the few I watched. Also really fucked me up. Help me OOP: how could I have survived it?

For the fly, find Janeway, she will make it her mission to kill both of the hybrid entities, which might result in you going back to normal.

Edit: Or it might result in Janeway becoming like Jason and always slowly walking towards you with a machete. At which point I think you need to recruit Freddy to deal with her.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I think during the time of The Fly Janeway was running for a city council seat in Boston (she had to; her opponent was under the influence of a Melmacian agent.)

[–] weps@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

weird sounds in the basement or attic?

I'm not going

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

American psycho is not a horror movie. It's way too good to be a horror movie. It's a thriller.

[–] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Alien, rockets not too good yet.

Aliens Vs Predator: I would fully support any immigrant who attacks sexual predators.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Except the "Aliens" are pretty much always shown to be born locally and the "Predators" never eat their kills.

Sinister: I won't move house
