1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, never check to see if it's really dead.
2. If you find that your house is built upon or near a cemetery, was once a church that was used for black masses, had previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices in your house - move away immediately.
3. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.
4. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.
5. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, or if they speak to you using a voice which is other than their own, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. NOTE: It will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared.
6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.
7. Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a grave, tomb, crypt, mausoleum, or other house of the dead.
8. If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.
9. Do not take anything from the dead.
10. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. 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.
11. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, get away from them as fast as possible.
12. 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), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.
13. Beware of strangers bearing tools such as chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any device made from deceased companions.

We almost got the same TT theme this week :lol: Happy Thursday!

If only people stuck in horror movies could have this list....it would save them a lot of pain!!

My TT is up!

Your list is giving me the creeps. It is a little bit scary. But good post in preparation for the halloween.
Thanks for passing by.

Your list totally made me laugh. I always think those things when I am watching something scary (which is very seldom).

Have a great Halloween!

Wow am I scared ! I will move immediately as there are probably skeletons in our garden, here were the Waterloo battle field and all these dead soldiers ... you never know. and on top of that I am living with a BLACK CAT ! I will never survive Halloween !

We bought a house with a cemetary right behind it. We walked in it alot of evenings.

quietest neighbors I've ever had.

Happy TT!

Great scary list! I will definately remember it all this halloween.

*Big grin*...I knew that you would have an awesome TT. You crack me up with these...except for number 2. My brother actually had an old turn of the century house a long time ago, when he lived in Kansas City. Strange things happened all the time, and I am a witness to that. He finally dug up the history of the house, finding out that a horrific death had occurred there, in the very room where most of the weird noises and creepy stuff was happening!

Hey! Can we try 3# this weekend?????

#11.....hmmmmm....I have increasing hairiness.....that might explain some things......

#13.....I go to work everyday with one or more of those objects just to deal with patients!

Excellent list!

Fantastic list! #5 gives me the creeps.. demon kids gives me the creeps!

BTW...love the TT13 picture :)

Ooooh, and don't run away from any of these things in high-heels. Invest in some good running shoes.

So, I kinda want to print this out and post it in my cube.

#12 is the reason I never visit Maine...Yep, King scarred (and scared) me for life.
This list is a riot- perfect for today!

Love the photo, BTW.

That's a great list and your TT header whatever thing its called is great with the TT coming out of the mouth!!

Very fun list! Love the Thursday Thirteen picture as well!!!

Oooooooooh, Spooky!

Hysterical list! Great to start off the day with a chuckle!

Happy Halloween!

Hey, I am from a VERY small town in Maine (most northern too) -- does that make me a monster? Some would probably say so right about now :)

Sue

The first one is the best! They never do that in scary movies!

Mine are in the fast lane.

Thank you for posting this. I always forget #5. And #7.

I love the picture!

Hi, you are so funny, what a clever way to make a list. And of course, my mind started racing with associations and movie lines and titles. Great fun!

Happy Thursday and hope you have a fun Halloween.

I think that most of those are good rules for life in general. =)

I goggled Nilbog...shouldn't have...now I have the green monster in my head...

Great list. It never makes sense to me why people always go back to make sure the monster is dead when you know good and well it isn't. I guess they never go to the movies...lol
Happy Halloween.

I sure wish I had read the tip about not solving puzzles that would open the gates of hell before now.

I've got a mess to clean up!

Great TT!

you crack me up...where did you get these?

roflllll! making me wanna watch some scary movies right now.

This is a GREAT list! Very funny--and accurate. LOL.

Immensely sensible list. :) (Nilbog, Nilbog...where do I know that from...?)

I love horror movies, so yes I know what Nilbog means and what movie it's from!!! ;) Great list!!

Happy Spooky Thursday! Mines up!

LOL! Those are priceless :))
I love, love, LOVE horror flicks!

If the door to the crypt is locked from the outside and has a big metal bar across it to hold it shut, DON'T UNLOCK THE DOOR AND REMOVE THE BAR!

I wonder if anyone gets that it is YOU in the header...no one really commented on it! Great list. Knowing my love of Halloween (not) my addition to the "Remember List" would be ...don;t forget to shut off all your lights and watch a movie in the dark.......HA I am so NOT fun!

I'm hoping you learned this from the movies, not personal experience?! ;-)

Would Blair, MD be out of the question too?!

Happy Halloween!

What a great TT!! I remember when I was in high school we would go to football games and the field is right next to a cemetary and my friends and I would run through the cemetary to get home.. we watched way too many scary movies!
