Hi Love Dogs, someone sent this to me and I thought everyone would get a kick out of it. Karen kln@a.crl.com > HORROR MOVIE SURVIVAL GUIDE >> >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> * When it appears that you have killed the monster, *never* check >> to see if it's really dead. >> * 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 necrophilia or >> satanic practices in your house move away immediately. >> * Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke. >> * Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone >> out. >> * 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.
