You may want to rent such recent examples of the genre as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Halloween H-20 to know that you never talk to a stranger on the phone or walk into a dark house alone. Even if you don't do those things, you could still be in a passel of trouble. But at least you won't be someone the audience calls "stupid," and you may live to see another day.
