10 Rules To Survive A Horror Movie

You've heard it in Zombieland and you'll hear it again here: you need a strong set of lungs and to be in good shape if you have any hope of outrunning the evils of a horror movie. It's all well and good sitting on your butt and marathoning Friday the 13th in the dark covered in Dorito dust and Dr. Pepper cans, but when a supernaturally hench bad guy sets their sights on your particular flesh bag, you're gonna regret not maxing out your endurance bar very, very quickly.

There are plenty of examples, too. Take a look It Follows's demand for constant movement, or literally any zombie movie ever; they demand some limber limbs if you want to stand any hope of making it out alive.

I guess this is definitely a 'do it in advance' kind of rule for best results, but should you find yourself stuck in a horror movie whilst woefully undertrained, then the solid advice of 'run away as fast and as far as you can' still stands strong.
