(This list is a result of the conversation Mike and I had after watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacres: The Beginning.)
1. If someone's in the house with you, NEVER run back upstairs unless you feel up to diving out a window.
2. Never go into a dark basement. It doesn't matter if the light switch just isn't working, a fuse is blown, or the power in the whole house is out - it's a BAD IDEA.
3. If you hear a noise, don't go check it out. Assume it is not the cat, dog, or a squirrel and prepare for the worst-case scenario (ax murder/serial killer/supernatural creature, etc.) instead.
4. Don't fool yourself into thinking a piece of wood is adequate protection. Sure, if it's pointy at one end it'll help you take out the vampires coming after you, but you'll need more than that to stop the serial killer that's been terrorizing the surrounding neighborhoods recently. If you have a gun, check to make sure it's loaded. Then check again, just in case.
5. If your friends get taken somewhere, you can follow them to see where they end up (so you know where to bring help), but DON'T GO IN AFTER THEM. Even if you're in some deserted area, one way on the highway and start walking. You've got to find something eventually.
6. If you've been captured and you're being held in a deserted area, don't scream for no reason. If the skin is being flayed off your arm, okay, go ahead and scream, but if you're just tied to a table leg or something, shut up and conserve your energy for when it'll do you some good.
