Here is a list of things and situations that usually apply to or happen in scary movies- they are very predictable, plus some basic rules about what to do and what not do if you want to stay alive in one, just in case the option ever comes up, LOL. So, read on, it just could save your life:
~ If you turn out the light, don't worry- the room won’t get dark, it will just become a shade of dark blue. ~ If you hear a noise outside, or even in another room, and go to investigate it, you will be murdered. ~ Never inspect something hanging from a ceiling, it will fall on you.... ~ A killer is never officially dead until buried, they often jump up for one last kill. Watch you back.... ~ Never, I repeat, never, answer a door. ~ Just because someone has a voice like the inspector or has a badge, doesn't mean it's really him. They stole his badge.... ~ Don't go into a room alone, that's where the killer is. ~ Virgins are the only one’s who survive. ~ Drugs and alcohol will get you killed. ~ Don’t run upstairs, it’s a dead end. ~ Locked doors never stay locked, so don’t even bother. A simple axe or kick will open them, so it's a waste of time. ~ Don’t run into the woods. ~ There is often more than one killer, so don’t be surprised if they surround you, or if you just left a room with him and he is now in this one. ~ The killer is never who you suspect, so don’t judge people, they will eventually turn on you. ~ Cars always mean chases and crashes. |

your car wont start untill the last second - after several frantic tries .. and only after the killer has smashed a window or jumped on the roof.
also car related ... feel free to run the killer over a few times. he'll just get back up. oh .. and if you do knock the killer down ... dont pick up the gun/axe/shovel and finish the job ... just walk gingerly past his body giving him time to grab your leg on the way by. say .. reading this ..... the rules of horror are kinda dumb arent they .. |

Dear Talentless Hack,
Hey, instead of musing over what the rules are and writing a cliché-ridden swill-tome that wouldn't get published if you sucked off the publisher, hows about you ignore the rules and write your horror novel or whatever based on LOGIC. If the characters are smart, then that will force you to write a villain that is smart, and it will probably be scarier that way. But you can't write smart characters if you yourself are a dumbass, can you? Verily, Fuck You

By not following the rules, he can avoid cliches- or better still, create all new ones.

Thank you all!
Thank you all very much, especially to the kind person who had me in stiches with his rules of how not to die in a horror film.
One of the latter replies hit right on my thinking, once I am equiped with all the hundreds of don't dos in a horror film, my characters can go out of their way to avoid these clichés. This is why I've asked for everyone's help. There are too many writers, producers, editors, and studios ripping off one another's ideas. Yes it works and yes it makes them money, but how many times can Freddie Kruger die? How many times can Chuckie come back to life? I guess you've heard Alien Vs. Preditor has a squeal coming (great... the only way to kill most of these villans is to stop throwing money at their creators and "Hollywood"). It's time for something original, some new ideas and maybe, just maybe, if enough cliché riddled rules are broken or bent or just plain left out, it will be worth reading and with any luck scare the shit out of you. Thank you all again, and keep the ideas coming. Lawrence |
