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.
- 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.
- During a power failure, when the
lights are out, don’t go looking for what just caused that thump in the
basement…alone…and without a light.
- 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.
