So when I originally approached the readership of this journal and said 'lo, what should I include in my site FAQ section?', roughly half the people who responded said 'horror movie survival.' So yes, there's an actual section on getting out of a horror movie with your skin and sanity reasonably intact.
Feel proud of yourselves.
So now that the horror FAQ is underway, I ask you...what all should be included? What burning questions do you have about the things out there that want to make you die -- and maybe more important, what questions do you have about staying alive? Remember, only you can defeat the crawling terror from beyond the stars. Unless, y'know, it eats you first.
Does "don't split up" get overridden by "don't have sex"?
I mean, you're always in more danger if you're alone, but if you're staying in a couple or group, and there are two (or more) of you having sex, will that make you more of a target?
Q. Once you realize that you're trapped in a horror movie, is it already Too Late, or can you escape by (a) forcing the movie to switch genres, (b) breaking the fourth wall, (c) using other characters as cannon fodder, and/or (d) bribing the writers to keep you alive in hopes of sequels?
My number one question, due to personal interest, is... How does a brunette survive a horror movie? (I think Ripley uses a BFG, which does, I admit, appeal, but I'm hoping for more options... >_> )
Do you have any survival tips for the Vasquez? Because those of us who are (a) brunette, (b) prepared for the zombie apocalypse, and (c) not love interest material are usually dead by final credits.
I'm increasingly fascinated by TV Tropes, because they really don't seem to specialize in, well, all the horror movies ever. I have buckets of (blood) movies where the Vasquez lives, but those just get used as proof of trope inversion. It's...odd.
Is it better to be the Purely Virtuous Woman Who Does Not Compromise (while those of lesser morality get devoured all round me), or the Practical Woman Of The World Who Can Choose The Lesser Evil (while the foolish idealists are zombie lunch, dinner, and tea)?
What is the best food to keep on hand in case of a Zombie Apocalypse?
When and how is it appropriate to tell your a)slow b)promiscuous c)zombie bait friends that "it's not you it's me, we should see other survival groups."?

Brains. You're going to end up as a zombie sooner or later, so you may as well plan ahead.
