Your Horror Movie Survival Guide: The Average Person’s Best Bet
The good news this Halloween? The average, non-athlete civilian has a better chance of surviving some famous horror movies than you think. Your best bet is to avoid the supernatural and stick to the "guy in a mask" tier.
The Easiest Villain to Beat: Ghostface (Scream Franchise)
Forget Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers—your best chance for survival is against the villain from the Scream franchise: Ghostface.
Why You Win: Ghostface is, invariably, just a normal person (usually a clumsy, emotional teenager or disgruntled adult) in a mask and a cheap costume. They are not supernatural, do not teleport, and bleed when stabbed.
The Survival Tactic: Unlike dealing with a relentless immortal, an average person with a solid baseball bat, a frying pan, or even just a decent head start could likely subdue and expose them. Furthermore, the Ghostface killers tend to follow the rules of a movie, which means their biggest weakness is often simple common sense and refusing to split up.
