Okay, so I'ma rant for a minute about Horror Movies.
Most people don't think there's a way to figure out if the main character dies or not, but there is.
Now I assume everyone knows what Horror Movie Rules are, but just in case, here's a brief explanation. There are certain rules that if broken, you can know who will die. As an example, when you yell "don't go in the basement" you're actually telling them "don't break rule #2!" so on so forth. There are a lot of different rule but here are a few:
1) Don't answer the phone
2) don't go up or down stairs
3) don't split up from the group
4) don't go outside
5)don't do the did. Especially since you usually end up doing it with the killer.
6) don't think about doing the did. People can tell, and then you die
7) Phone lines don't work, and if they do the Police won't believe you
8) Don't hide in enclosed spaces. Seriously, logic says no, rules say no, just don't do it
9) don't joke about it. It always starts off "oh theres a murderer hahaha" and ends up with "oh shit theres a murderer"
10) DONT. DROP. YOUR. KEYS. Everyone already knows this, just a friendly PSA
Now, onto how to tell whether or not the MC will live. I'll tell you right now, 9 times outta 10 they do, and all their friends die. But if you are unsure follow this one simple idea.
The MC likes to play "how many rules can I break at once"
Don't understand?
Well, look at the movie Scream. The mc breaks so many rules I literally fell over laughing. And for those who say "doing IT doesn't lead to death" that's actually wrong. It's because it's apart of a series of rules the mc broke, when everyone else who only broke the 1-5 rules ended up dead, while the mc breaks 10-15 rules in a matter of minutes at a time.
So yeah, if you ever wonder if the main character is going to survive, keep track of how many rules they break over the whole movie.
That's all, have a great day/night muh Geekos!!
