Title: If you were a character in a slasher movie...
Post by: Nukie 2 on August 23, 2009, 06:15:55 PM
I'd probably be like most people, I guess, and be killed in the middle of the film, because I'm not really lucky or unlucky. Also, I'm one of the types of people who aren't easily convinced at first of something being the cause of something else; this case a killer on the run and so I'd get killed when most people are killed.

I think I would survive. Why? Because I survived the ghetto I live in for 35 years.

Trust me, I've seen scarier people then Norman Bates.

I'm well past my teen years and not particularly bosomy, so I like to think I'd SURVIVE!  I picture myself as a Donald Pleasance type, walking around multiple sequels providing atmosphere by saying things like "This evil MUST BE STOPPED ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

I'm not sure why but i picked "die in middle."  I know I could survive for at least a little while because I have pretty good luck and If I attacked the killer I would it him/her as much as possible before running away.

I'm such a natural jokester, it's always the clown who manages to allay everyone's fears with his wisecracks, then wander off alone after two or three others have disappeared and buy the farm in a particularly gruesome way.

Think the oriental guy in the FRIDAY THE 13TH remake.

I figure I would survive and return for sequel after sequel. Why? Because I am most likely to either be the Dr. Loomis like character or the Slasher in the film.

I feel that I would survive, I'd be the older eccentric character who, towards the end of the film, fights the lunatic killer to a standstill to allow the others to escape and then apparently dies a gruesome death, only to reappear at the end of the movie with little or no explanation for his escape.

I feel like I'd get killed towards the end. I can put up a fight and run over the killer with a van once or twice but I have a feeling it would be that last bit where he jumps out to end the movie.

I could fall two different ways depending on the circumstances.

1.) Think of the whole thing logically as a game and use my knowledge of horror movies to know where the killer will strike next.

2.) Be the idiot who runs out swinging wildly with a weapon only the find the killer behind me with something they will undoubtedly impale me with.

I'm hoping my character in the film would approach it using the first mentality.

I would totally survive, I would just fade into the background and at the end of the movie be found hiding somewhere. :teddyr:  I'd use my knowledge of horror films to survive

I would make it to the end because:

1. My killer underpants would make the slasher faint.  :buggedout:
2. I wouldn't say "Who's there?"
3. I would put on the light and see what was hiding there.
4. I wouldn't say "Hello?"
5. I would walk tall, carry a big stick and kick some slasher ass.  :teddyr:

I'd be the eccentric old coot/hermit who pops up warning the kids and providing back story because he was there (as an observer) the first time around.  Which means I would survive, because I would have to be there for the sequels to be able to pop in and warn the next bunch about what happened to the last bunch of kids who were foolish enough to...and so on.  A sneaky form of immortality.

Besides: I have always wanted to screech, "OH NO! IT'S THE BOOGENS!"  (Who am I fooling: of course I have done that!)

Definitely killed in the middle.  I think one of the main reasons I love slashers is that I'd be that guy smoking a bowl (well, in my younger days), trying to get lucky.  "Jack. what was that noise?"  "Oh don't worry about that, come over here a minute."

I don't care whether I survive or not as long as I get to be in the skinny dipping scene with the voluptuous, promiscuous blonde.

According to a FaceBook quiz, I'd survive, so it must be true. :tongueout:

Seriously (we're talking about surviving in a slasher movie, and I try to get serious?), I wouldn't be getting lucky in the woods; instead, I'd be getting a friend speech somewhere. Also, I'm pretty sure I'd survive since I don't camp. Or live in a big city. Or live anywhere near a mental hospital. Or attend slumber parties, Halloween parties in spooky, abandoned houses, or live over an Indian burial ground.

I think I'd probably just bore the psycho killer to death and triumph.

What a boring slasher movie this is, so far no one gets killed in the beginning, and most end up surviving...come on!

OK, I'll change my vote to "killed in the beginning," but I'm going to need more money up front to compensate for the fact that I won't be in the sequels.  Contact my agent.

Maybe it's a spoof of a slasher film like Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth. Instead of the slasher killing everyone, they all die or escape in some way which leaves the slasher considering a career change.

You have an agent  :buggedout:! I guess that'll make you the star!

If it was a slasher flick, I'd be one of the first to die. My Fight or Flight response is set on Fight, but my lack of phyiscal or martial prowess means that I'll  probably try to fist fight a knife-wielding maniac and end up getting stabbed in the face. I might last a couple extra seconds if the slasher is succeptable to groin injuries.

If it's supernatural critters I make it to the halfway point when I shoot the damn things, only to find out they're playing dead. I then get stabbed in the face with my own gun.

Regular monsters,dinosaurs and the like, I make it towards the end but then run out of bullets and then get a talon in the face.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that horror movies don't like my face.

I don't smoke or drink.
I've never taken anything illegal.
Sex does happen every once in a while but I'd defiantly live. All the cool intresting people die first and us dull, boring, people stay on till the end.

I would have said some time back that I'd get killed at the beginning but my personality has developed since then :P

...I say I fall into the "dumbass-nerd-archtype", which, depending on the type of film and my mood, could land me anywhere: If I happen to be Randy Meeks or the film's director in a cameo (Which I am not), I'll survive. If not I'll more than likely get killed somewhere in the rising action after making some stupid joke, or as part of the "final gang".
