How to Survive a Horror Film

Don't go in there!

How to Survive a Horror Film
Ashley Strube

Do you ever get angry at how idiotic characters can be in scary movies? Do you find yourself screaming at the TV giving them advice, and they never listen? As a horror movie fanatic, I have compiled a series of steps that may or may not help you survive your own horror film.

1. Watch the original Scream movie.

The movie basically makes fun of horror films, and tells you how to survive!

2. Bite the goddamn bag

If someone comes at you and throws a plastic bag over your head, don't just suck in air and give up. Fight! Suck in air and bite that bag! It's like you don't even want to try and live!

3. Stay on the first floor

Face it. The basement is hard to get out of, unless you have doors, and the upper levels leave you prone for injuries.

4. If you hear a noise, do not go investigate it.

And if you do, at least bring a weapon with you.

5. Upgrade your security system.

If you do not have one, GET A SECURITY SYSTEM!

6. If you don't recognize the number calling you, don't pick it up!

If It's important, they'll leave a message! Someone attempting to kill you probably won't waste their time leaving you a voicemail.

7. Don't share every shred of your personal life on social media.

You never know who could be stalking you.

8. Don't invite strangers over, or go to their place.

*cough cough* Craigslist killer. *cough cough* Tinder.

9. If you are alone, do not let anyone know.

"You gonna regret it" - Adelaide (American Horror Story, Season one)

10. Trust your GPS, follow your GPS.

Absolutely NO shortcuts!


For Slasher films:

1. Stay in school

2. Don't go outside (especially the woods, or field, or lake, or summer camp, or stream)

3. Don't split up or let yourself be alone

4. Don't do drugs (Or alcohol for that matter, you need to be alert!)

5. Trust no one (It's always the quiet ones...)

6. For the love of chastity, do not have premarital sex. (Immoral acts lead to a quicker demise.)


To conclude, use your brain and follow the guide lines given to you! Do not be ignorant! Take a self defense class and get a taser.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
