Avoid a Deadly Halloween – Follow These 11 Tips to Survive

               Halloween is a scary time – it seems that every psycho killer and thing that goes bump in the night is just waiting, out of sight, for the chance to attack.  And if that is not bad enough, there are all those treats floating around waiting to defeat the stoutest diet and add pounds as we head into the heart of the holiday season.

               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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Never take the lonely and remote shortcut, especially if it goes through an old cemetery.
4. If you are babysitting at a gloomy, isolated house and the phone rings – don’t answer it.
5. Be aware of any and all clowns not traveling with a circus.  They are just plain scary.
6. 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.
7. Stay away from barns or tool sheds full of sharp, pointy farm instruments.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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….

11. 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.
