To expand on those ways to get slashed in a slasher film. For the hot chicks, make sure you wear the most flimsy faded short Daisy Duke shorts or a micro mini showing some trim. Also the hot chick should be promiscuous just like the dudes. Or wear her cheerleading outfit.

Actually that's exactly the point Wink  In your general horror/slasher, there are always boneheaded choices made by the characters which lead to their inevitable deaths. 

In your prototypical slasher flick, make sure to do the following in order to avoid surviving:

1) Always split up - it's safer to be alone than in the group
2) If you hear a noise, be sure to investigate it. And if it's dark, don't bother bringing a light source.
3) If there's a knock on the door or a phone ringing, answer it.  It may just be a singing telegram, but it could be the killer and you need to make sure he/she knows you're home.
4) If the killer's in the house, run UPSTAIRS where you can't escape nearly as easily as on the ground floor.
5) If you think you've killed the killer? Instead of doing the logical thing and getting as far away as possible, stick around.  Check his vitals, make sure he's dead because he likely isn't i.e. the fun's not over yet.
6) If you're a female, show your tits.  If you're a male, hit on every female possible. Promiscuous qualities tend to move you to the front of the killer's line
7) You find yourself a dead body, either fresh or decaying? Scream as loud as humanly possible so the killer knows where you are.
8) If you happen to run into Jamie Lee Curtis, you're in luck.  She's almost always gonna be the sole survivor, so you're most likely dead even if you ignore the first 7 guidelines.

Did anyone else notice that the only SANE suggestion ---"Why don't we get in the running car?" --- comes from the blond? And of course the others dismiss her suggestion because she's blond, ergo dumb?

I gotta admit though, I love the look on the face of the guy behind the chainsaws. It's kind of a "this is too easy" or "are you kidding me?"

problem is, Geico is about 30 years too late. People were saying this stuff since the 80's when Friday the 13th first came out.

Geico probably thinks they are so clever lol

This is a clever takeoff on Cabin in the Woods, lampooning the clueless characters in horror movies.

The chainsaw killer is played by David Figlioli, the guy who says “Are you crazy? Let’s hide behind the chainsaws” is played by Creagen Dow, the girl who say “Why can’t we just get in the running car?” is played by Carrie Wiita, the girl who says “No, in the basement” is played by Cali Fredrichs, and the guy who says “Let’s hide in the attic” is played by Aaron Jennings.

I like this ad!

And don't forget that when you are investigating that noise in the house, always walk backwards so that you can conveniently bump directly into the killer.

Cabin in the Woods didn't invent that concept. Scream was a huge hit doing just that a decade and a half before Cabin in the Woods existed, and IT didn't pioneer the concept...

Speaking of Scream, I took your advice from a few weeks ago and rented Craven's New Nightmare, watched it the other night.  It was pretty good, and obviously reminded me of Scream in the satirical "movie within a movie" sense. I loved how the actors from the original played themselves, and a couple of cameos as well by Lin Shaye & the guy who played Rod.

Of course! CITW was released in 2012 & lots of movies have had the same theme of teens in peril, young adults in peril, families in peril, with the characters being clueless as to how to avoid trouble!  It's just the latest in a long line; Scream is from 1996.

Just in time for Halloween, someone had this list for surviving Horror movies...

If you happen to end up in a Halloween or horror movie, it
is worthwhile to remember a few simple rules to help keep
yourself healthy, happy and safe (in other words, not
dead).

1 - When it appears that you have killed the monster,
NEVER check to see if it's really dead.

2 - Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a
joke.

3 - Do not search the basement, especially if the power
has gone out.

4 - If your children speak to you in Latin or any other
language which they should not know, shoot them
immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long
run. However, it will probably take several rounds to kill
them, so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak
with somebody else's voice.

5 - When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER pair off
or go alone. Hit the first person that says, "Let's split
up."

6 - As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open
portals to Hell. It's just not that fun.

7 - Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt.
This would apply to any other house of the dead as well.

8 - If you're searching for something which caused a loud
noise and find out that it's just the cat, GET OUT OF
THERE ANYWAY!

9 - If appliances start operating by themselves, do not
check for short circuits; just get out.

10 - Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.

11 - If you find a town which looks deserted, there's
probably a good reason for it. Don't stop and look around.

12 - Don't fool with recombining DNA technology unless
you're sure you know what you're doing.

13 - If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or
fall down at least twice, more if you are female. Also
note that, despite the fact that you are running and the
monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast
enough to catch up with you.

14 - If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit
uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for
blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, kill
them immediately.

15 - Stay away from certain geographical locations, some
of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street,
Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you recognize
this one), anywhere in Texas where chain saws are sold,
the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.

16 - If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely
road, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to
phone for help. If you think that it is strange you ran
out of gas because you thought you had most of a tank,
shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and
most likely be eaten.

17 - Beware of strangers bearing tools. For example: chain
saws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving
knives, combines, lawn mowers, butane torches, soldering
irons, band saws, or any devices made from deceased
companions.

18 - If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery,
now is the time to move in with the in-laws. This also
applies to houses that had previous inhabitants who went
mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion,
or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices.

19 - Dress appropriately. When investigating a noise
downstairs in an old house, women should not wear a flimsy
negligee. And carry a flashlight, not a candle. Make that
two flashlights!

20 - Do not mention the names of demons around open
flames, as these can flare suddenly. Be especially careful
of fireplaces in this regard.

21 - Do not go looking for witches in the Maryland
countryside.

LOL.

Numbers 2, 6 & 20 are dangerous in real life, not just horror movies.

Nilbog is Goblin spelled backwards.  Redrum.

Yeah, it's neat seeing so much of the original cast as back as themselves.

Quote In your prototypical slasher flick, make sure to do the following in order to avoid surviving:
 
A)  Stand around texting, remaining oblivious to all that goes on around you.  (On the other hand, the slasher may be disappointed that the victims aren't resisting, and go off to find more challenging prey.)  Note:  The texter will only start screaming in panic if the signal is lost....

I saw this commercial at least twelve times today during my Sunday football binge.

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm tuning in for NFL football, or NFL professional commercials?

I have to admit that the one Geico ad with the guy whooping and hollering about getting some cold cuts, that one's still pretty amusing.

I'd still rather be watching football, but hey, I guess it counts for something.

Good job.  Take it as a compliment that so many here liked it.  As you can probably guess by the name of the site, that's pretty rare 'round these parts.
