4. Don't Touch Anything Strange
Half of all horror movie situations wouldnt happen if the characters would just keep their hands to themselves and not touch anything. For some reason, upon discovering a dark and decrepit old basement or attic, characters feel the need to touch everything little thing they come upon. Even more moronically, upon finding an ancient looking book with strange ritualistic notes and an urging not to repeat them, most will go on to do that very thing and unleash horrible demons. If the numerous examples from cinema history have proven anything, it is that you should always refrain from messing around with strange objects found in equally strange places. However, like a dumb cat who doesnt know better, horror characters let their curiosity get the better of them. Curiosity is one of mankinds greatest traits, but there are certain times when it should be explicitly obvious when to reel it in. If you dont want your girlfriend to be possessed by demons, try not reading from the Book of the Dead.
