It's October which means it's prime time to sit back and watch some of your favorite horror films β if you're into that kind of thing, of course.
That said, one of the most frustrating parts of watching a scary movie is when the protagonist(s) avoid all of the plain-as-day signs of danger, which ultimately leads to them getting wounded, and sometimes, killed.
So it's appropriate β on Friday the 13th, no less β that folks would be tweeting how one could survive in a horror movie.
