Fear not, though. Halloween doesn’t have to be so deadly. Follow these basic safety tips and you may just survive…if you’re lucky.
- When you find yourself running from a ghoulish beast out of the cemetery, desperate to escape; keep your car key on a ring by itself. Then you can find it quickly without fumbling through 50 keys as the monster approaches. Better yet, get a remote starter.
- Speaking of cars and getaways, make sure that your car starts immediately and has a good battery. Also, keep it filled up so you don’t run out of gas in some dark, creepy and haunted backwoods.
- Never take the lonely and remote shortcut, especially if it goes through an old cemetery.
- If you are babysitting at a gloomy, isolated house and the phone rings – don’t answer it.
- Be aware of any and all clowns not traveling with a circus. They are just plain scary.
- Don’t turn your back on the psychotic fiend that you just stabbed, shot, pushed off a balcony or any combination of. It will come back to life at least one more time.
- Stay away from barns or tool sheds full of sharp, pointy farm instruments.
- When running for your life from a zombie or other stumbling, lumbering creature of the night, be prepared to fall. A lot. No matter how slow it is, it will always catch up.
- If the power fails and the lights are out, don’t go looking for what just caused that thump in the basement…alone…and without a flashlight.
- There is safety in numbers. If you have other people around, don’t split up to investigate all the other mysterious disappearances.
And last, but certainly not least….
- Never, ever end up in the sequel. The monster/beast/murderer always kills more victims, with more gore and is harder to stop or destroy. And the sequels are never as good as the original.
