I'm half watching Lost Boys 2, and the male lead is too dumb to live... right after learning that vampires exist, he had to invite a girl into his home, one of the crucial rules in vampire myth being a vampire can't enter a dwelling without being invited... then he had sex with her, and everyone knows that if you have sex in a horror film then serious shit will kick off.
More horror cliches please. |

Horror cliches -
Androgynous last girl will always survive.
Don't be black or a jock or a slut
Don't separate
Do have some kind of tragic past - you're more likely to survive that way.
Yeah, that's a few off the top of my head. |

"Being black.
"
Oh yes!
Stephen King seems to make his female characters act incredibly dumb, often running right into their death.
Top marks goes to the female lead in Salem's Lot, who acknowledges that girls who go into the haunted house always get killed. Guess what she does. |

Don't run up the stairs, when you could be running out the front door.
Never ever say "I'll be right back"
Don't have sex or take drugs.
Don't fall asleep
Remember it doesn't matter how fast you run. The slow walking bad guy will always get you. |

"Always remember that a car needs a key to start and it is unlikely that the owner has left them in the sun visor!
Unless you can hot wire a car "
Can you do that? |

No, but I like to think I'm pretty well versed in the rules of horror |

Turn on all the bloody lights in the house, make sure all windows and doors are locked (before you go to bed or upstairs)
Stay in one place, lock the door.
Don't decide that it would be a good idea to go into the creepy basement!!
Most horror films would be over very quickly if people actually had a brain! |

There's a film where a black actor says "Everyone knows the black guy dies first" I can't remember which film but may have been Evolution. |

Yep!
I mean, I'm not having sex much so that's one rule sorted |

Never go "off grid" for a weekend in the woods... Dodgy cabin, miles from anyone (apart from the murderer) and no phone signal......for a camping or party weekend with several dumb people (male and female) and a jock (who inevitably wants to check the aforementioned gloomy basement or shout "who's there" into the dark woods.....)

Don't walk backwards. Only in horror films do people sneak around backwards (usually in the dark) and thus bump into things, usually their friends who are also walking around the place backwards or an inanimate object which will scare the shit out of you. Walk forwards! |

Don't think you've killed the bad guy at the first attempt. Don't turn your back on him thinking the job is done, even when you've shot him, stabbed him or set him on fire. He WILL somehow still be alive! Smash that fuckers skull in while you have the chance. |

Dont stop and get out of the car when the bad guy's about as you know it wont start up again.
Also make sure you have plenty of petrol for your chainsaw. |

Not technically a horror movie, although I think it's a bit of a shocker, but how many times did Jack and Rose get out of damaged to only put themselves back in it in Titanic? |
