Survival Guide Cont....

You still haven't listened. You broke the first rule, and watched the second rule in action. You found the remains of your friends, maybe an arm or eyeball from the boy who went to peak into the darkened room. You have now entered the horror movie, and there is no going back. Once the first person has died, it is now kill or be killed. Here are some tools that should always carry with you/begin to find now that you are in the horror film:

It may not be practical to carry around a double barrel shotgun in your purse, or a wooden stake to kill a vampire, but you should ALWAYS have a cell phone/radio. Make sure the battery is chargered and have it with you at all times--never hesitate to use it. They won't kill you for making a bad 9-1-1 call, but not making the call might get you killed.

Holy Water-- this might seem a little crazy, but ya never know when you'll need to burn a vampire, witch, ghost, or whatever. BE PREPARED!

FLASHLIGHT! Idiots that go in the dark without one DESERVE to die. They having amazing LED lights you can attach to keys and everything.

Pencils: Can be used as a wooden stake to kill vampires (See Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Also, can be used against humans. Remember the scene in The Dark Knight: "Wanna see a magic trick?" I'm just saying, getting stabbed with a pencil will hurt.

Ligther/Matches: Fire is very helpful in pretty much any situation. Blowing things up and burning them down can help you escape. As part of the guaranteed survival, you need to burn the corpse of whatever was hunting you, just to make sure it is DEAD! Also, you need to burn the bones of a ghost who is haunting you.

Silver Bullet: this is optional. Since Twilight has forced its way into pop culture, vampires and werewolves aren't as scary as they used to be. Sorry Jacob Black, but I'll shoot first and ask questions later.

Of course you should gather other weapons as you go on...pitchfork, knife, gun, sickle, whatever. Take whatever you feel is necessary. "Better safe than Sorry" is 100% true in horror situations.

For more suggestions on tools/weapons you'll need, watch "Supernatural" and study the contents of Sam and Dean's truck. If you'll need it, they'll have it.
