20 Rules You Must Follow To Survive A Slasher Movie

3. Reading Aloud From A Demon-Summoning Book Is Not Recommended

This should go without saying, really. If you find, say, the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in a dark cabin in the middle of nowhere, don't read it. At least, not out loud. Even in a jokey way. That is a sure-fire way of ensuring that the psychotic killer that is watching you through the window gains supernatural powers. Let's face it - you are not Ash from Evil Dead. You do not have a chainsaw for an arm, nor are you armed with a sawn-off shotgun. You're just a drunk teenager reading a book. If the villain becomes unstoppably monstrous, you only have yourself to blame.
