4. Youre The Expert
If theres one thing the movie killer hates its when people try to figure him out. Hes unknowable. So if you find yourself in the position of being the only rationally thinking member of your group during an attack from a movie slasher, theres a very good chance youll end up with one or more holes in you that arent supposed to be there.
The Solution: Try to avoid spouting exposition I know, youre the smart guy, so if not you then who else? The jock? I dont think so. But still, eventually, the exposition giver runs out of exposition to give, right? And when that happens, what comes next? Thats right; the exposition giver becomes the machete warmer. So just try to keep your mouth shut and fade into the background; that way, the killer can occupy himself with the screamy teens, while you use that big sexy brain of yours to engineer yourself a way the hell outta there.
