Ever wonder if, when faced with a zombie outbreak, a masked serial killer rampage, or an ancient curse accidentally come-to-life, you'd survive?
Well, now you can test your odds with this original quiz!:
www.cabbagesnkings.net/2009/08/quiz-will-you-survive-horror-movie.html
Note: this quiz is 100% scientific (okay, not even 2%)...
Completely accurate (lies, lies, lies)...
And relies on proven horror movie cliches as tested by award-winning horror actors (Bruce Campbell, Neve Campbell and other horror actors not-in-fact-named-Campbell are not in any way affiliated with this quiz).
So tell me-- what horror movie skillz could you bring to the action?

I might live through the film.
-
Maybe that means you'll live through the film AND the sequel.
-
I hope so! I love horror films!
-
-
wooohoo I'll live! maybe not as the leading lady, but I just need too develop more superpowers and stop running around in panic!-
I think the panic probably would have a chance to subside once you make it through that first film.
By film two, then you just grab weaponry. -
Yeah!! I need to freshen up my fighting skills too!
-
Never hurts. A small investment of time and equipment now means less medical treatment and/or people picking through your belongings later.
-
True, perhaps I need to learn some medical stuff as well...you don't know what you might encounter!
-
-
You aren't the leading man or lady, necessarily, but you're decent evil-fighting support. You'll probably make it out there! Don't get cocky, though. Give more to charity. Add a little more humor to your dialogue. Panic openly less. Wear sensible shoes. And stay out of the backseats of cars. And you should be fine.
I guess I can't win them all.-
I think you're already pretty well covered on the humorous dialog area.
That backseats of cars thing, though. That might be the tricky bit. -
That will be a challenge. But since the universe has been conspiring against me lately, I think I can manage.
-
Long may you live.
-
-
Okay, I have to head off to a meeting, but I'll catch up with everybody shortly.
-
I think I wouldn't make it to the sequel. I do really dumb things. I once saw a creepy guy outside my window. I grabbed a broom and a pair of really big Fisckars scissors, ran outside and threatened to kill him. Real stupid. -
I somehow think it's a good thing you're moving to a safer neighborhood, Shirley.
-
Lol! This is true. I don't keep my mouth shut once I get started. I'm prone to telling people off. I don't mess with people unless I'm highly annoyed.
-
-
O.K. this is a thread killer, no pun intended!
Since i'm a Black American I won't last fifteen minutes...LOL! Oh wait, that's not funny!-
Black Americans occasionally seem to make it through in horror movies if they're either 1.) a name actor already/a known rapper or 2.) funny.
I'd really like to see you survive-- maybe make sure you don't buddy-up with any of the snotty popular kids. I think that would shift the odds quite a bit in your favor.

I just watched Quarantine last night with my best friend. We both agree that we could have survived that situation for two reasons:
1. We would have kept at at least a 1:1 weapon to person ratio.
2. We would have killed anyone who was bitten immediately and without hesitation.-
I think that no-mercy-sorry-you've-been-bitten-gotta-go idea is really key to surviving horror epidemics.
Also, if you see someone who is acting like they're injured, don't just assume they cut themselves shaving like they tell you. Or fell. Or whatever lie they come up with. CHECK for bite marks. -
Precisely.
And dammit, LOCK the door, and bring a galdurned flashlight. Why doesn't anyone ever do that? -
It's true. Candles are NOT proper lighting in an Evil situation.

Funny post Jenn, I left this comment.
Well based on points it says that I might make it to the sequel. I assume there is a lot of emphasis on that might....people of my general persuasion don't tend to make it out of these here type of films although I think it would be quite the opposite in real life as we have proved to be quite resourceful and in general don't chase after creepy things that go bump in the night.
In my case I am a more of a get the frig out of dodge ask questions later type of girl.-
(*Snort*) As long as, you don't have any huge panic meltdowns (as at least one member of every horror movie team must do--
(it's called "Game Over Man Anxiety" or "Paxton Syndrome")
--then I think we might just be seeing you for the sequel, Faith.
Besides, I believe your ability to banter probably gives you an edge. -
Hearing/reading a woman quote "Game Over Man" gives me warm tinglies.
[repeats to self: "I'm already happily married. I'm already happily married."] -
Bullgrit, I'm just glad somebody got the reference.
-
"I say we nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
:-)

-
Dammit! I'd have gotten 10 if I wasn't so damned sarcastic!
-
Heh, hm-- I didn't know I'd worked an anti-sarcasm pitfall into the quiz.
I thought you would have instead gotten points for quirky humor. -
It was the mocking of people who took the curse seriously that let me down...
-
Ah, yes... Foolish mortal, normal logic and critical thinking will never stop Horror Movie Cliches! (mwahahahah!)
-
-
12 points! So, I'd probably make it. But, would I really want to be involved in a sequel? I'll have to find a lookalike to replace me, or someone who will be my long-lost sibling while I'm off studying in some foreign country ... or in therapy, after having witnessed all the deaths.-
You make a good point about the siblings/relatives in sequels.
And how many characters do actually get therapy after being pursued relentlessly by killers with knives or chainsaws?
Does Sidney of Scream get post traumatic stress help? I think not.
The only time anyone ever gets psychiatric help is if they've already been committed once and no one believes them. -
Yeah, she probably just shook it off.
The psychiatrists would score well in this quiz. They're more likely to not believe the stories and eventually run into the killer('s knife/chainsaw/etc.), make a shocked face and die. Especially if they're old. -
"Hmmm.... vat are you runnink from zat you are afraid of zee psychiatrists, Mr. Ze Zhirteentz?"
-
-
I might live through this film. Damn... I thought I would do a lot better.-
Two questions for you:
1.) How do you feel about the reliability of your car and how much gas do you keep in it? Because cars have a way of going bad during horror situations.
And
2.) What kind of car does the Kool-Aid Man drive? What sort of wheels makes the Kool-Aid Man say, "ohhhh yeah!" -
I always keep the tank full, because that's how Kool-aid man rolls. And, of course, I'm driving the Cherry Kool-aid red Lambo.
-
Ah, a Lambo, very nice... You Kool-Aid pitchers do know how to live!
-
No wonder you won't live. You are going to drive the car off a cliff avoiding a half naked girl in the road.
-
Well, clearly, the Lambo will die tragically in a flame-thrower-induced conflagration intended for the serial killer.
Or else, perhaps, on a Top Gear rerun.
Either way.
-
-
I don't think I'd make it through the opening credits of a horror movie, I'd be sliced in the first minute.-
Can you outrun the friends you went to the movie theater with?
The bodies slow evil down a little.
-
-
In scary dreams, whenever I'm being chased by a killer I usually end up getting fed up, giving up and letting them kill me. They usually hesitate.
I think I'd die.-
Wow, whenever I have dreams like that I either wake right as I'm going to be caught, or I'm running and I'm going really slow, and no matter how hard I try, my legs are like bricks.
-
No, no! Never give up! Never surrender!
(Wait, wrong film genre... sorry...)
-
-
I earned "Drugs Kill, and so do evil monsters." Too much of a jock I guess.-
Hey, I'm sorry about your unfortunate demise, though.
Your typing is excellent for the Recently Deceased. -
Yes, well, after all those years of being the school quarterback, owning the snaziest sports car on the planet, and having a personal harem of 18 gorgeous cheerleaders I guess I had to get mine sooner or later.
-
Or wake up when the alarm goes off.
-
(Sends harem to slap TSR.)
-
Ha! I take no abuse from you and your harem of puny cheerleaders. They will keep the monsters busy while I make it to safety.
-
Unfortunately we've tamed the monsters with marijuana and are now ordering them to attack you.
-
Meh.
I'll just wait for the cheerleaders to turn on you when they finally realize you've been using them to fight your battles for you. -
Nah, just against you because you're a girl and thus it is not gallant for me to kick your ***.
-
-
Ha! I totally survived
-
You're a ninja.
Like you wouldn't survive anyway. -
Heh A ninja with guns
-
More's the better. How are you with a flamethrower or a chainsaw?
-
Surgical!
And I know how to build forts, shelters, and hunting gear for survival! -
Wait, wait, that's all too convenient--
Unless YOU are the masked serial killer!
AGHHHHHH! -
Muwahahahahaha.
No, I'm just the misunderstood loner that everyone wants to blame for everything, but winds up saving the day and the pretty girl. -
Ah, a nice tried and true cliche! You are like Phantom of the Opera meets, erm, Sling Blade.
-
Yeah! or one of those good vampires or, Oh I know! Angel, from Buffy and the vampire slayer! Yeah!
-
Angel was a cutie, but remember-- that involves a lot more brooding in the dark. You'd do better in a Spike role, I think.
-
HahahahHAHAHAhahaha you're a Buffy fan LOLLOL
*whispers* Yeah, Spike was my favorite vampire.... -
Yeah, I kept worrying they'd kill Spike off. He was a fave of mine.
-
-
I read your post but didn't have a piece of paper to write down my answers. I am off to take the quiz now!-
Heh, and make sure you fill in the full circle with a number two pencil. I'll be grading you for neatness.
-
Hey, I will most likely survive as I am decent evil fighting support! Not the leading lady, but apparently, I am the plucky sidekick!
I can deal with being a scooby. -
Typically the support folks are a lot less annoying than the lead girl is, so congrats!
-
-
Hey, let's ask the guy with the hatchet if he knows the way out of this cemetery.
I'm sure he's freaked out a little bit too, what with all the headless bodies at his feet.
Excuse me, sir...-
The one time Rooster stops to ask for directions, and THIS is what happens...
Alas, poor Rooster, we knew him well. (Heads bowed)
-
-
10 points for me! -
Sure I can. I just hate watching a horror movie with any girl in it. Simply because she's always falling down and crying instead of getting up and running.
Or, if she actually does hit the killer and he's down, she runs away or slowly walks to him and gets killed.
If it were me, I would jump in the air and land on his throat. My father was in the military and he told me that six pounds of pressure on someone's throat could kill that person.
So, I'm nearly 200 pounds, so I think I'll be able to kill the serial killer.
Of course, with my luck, some DA trying to make a name for himself will probably charge me with manslaughter because I was defending myself.
