10 Rules To Survive A Horror Movie
4. Keep Your House In Check
This is an entry dedicated largely to one issue: bad drains are a bad omen, and you need to keep those bad boys clean and efficient if you don't want to die a horrible death in a horror film. If faucets start leaking blood, or goo, or stop working right when you get into the shower leaving just enough time for you to look right into the shower-head before whatever's stuck there gets blasted in your face, just turn the damn things off and leave. It's not worth it.
Don't try and fix it by sticking your hands down a pipe - or, god forbid, a waste disposal - either, as that will be the last you see of them.
In broader terms though, look after where you're living and you'll notice when you get ectoplasm stains and can get the hell out of there. If creaky noises are unusual rather than just 'the old house settling', then you'll twig instantly when there's a stranger prowling your corridors, or some jerk knocking things over whilst hiding in your loft (which you shouldn't go in anyway).
And if by some nightmare these noises are all there upin moving in... well, you better move out again pretty sharpish.
