The [[Police Are Useless|doubting cops]]. The [[Overprotective Dad|overbearing]] [[My Beloved Smother|parents]] and [[Dogged Nice Guy|well-intentioned boyfriends]].

You know the handy rules that ''[[Scream (
''[[How to Survive
=== Tropes: ===
Line 13:
* [[Curiosity Killed the Cast]]: Investigating strange sounds is never a good idea.
* [[Dead All Along]]: The book has a very obvious way of testing whether or not this is you. Just ask ''very specific'' questions, not vague ones. To several people, not just one.
* [[Death
* [[Don't Go in The Woods]]
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]
Line 25:
* [[Running Gag]]: About just how dangerous log cabins are.
* [[Satan]]: Defeated by way of {{spoiler|[[Male Frontal Nudity]], which doesn't exist in the Terrorverse. Therefore, showing your junk will instantly pull you out of a horror movie.}}

* [[Self-Deprecation]]: The general low quality, low budgets and [[Cliché Storm|clichéd writing]] that show up in [[Sturgeon's Law|many horror movies]] (especially [[Slasher Movie|slashers]]) is a frequent target of parody. One of the "ejection seats" is great, well-written dialogue, and another is fleeing to a location that's far too expensive for the cash-strapped producers of a horror movie to shoot in.
* [[Shout
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Mortality]]
* [[Summer Campy]]: The most dangerous place to be in the Terrorverse is at a summer camp.
