With Halloween coming up this week, I thought I'd post a few safety tips I've learned from watching my favorite TV show, Supernatural.
On All Hallows Eve there could be all kinds of ghoulish creatures roaming about. One can never be too careful.
You should be fine if you follow these tips:
~ Watch your back. If something creepy is after you, it will ALWAYS sneak up from behind. And usually from the direction you were just looking a moment ago.
~ Do not split up! The surest way to come face to face with something scary is to split up. People of the movies, when will you ever learn?
~ If you hear a strange noise coming from your closet (or the room down the hall, or--heaven forbid--from the cellar) DO NOT CHECK IT OUT. I repeat, do NOT slowly and hesitantly approach the sound, especially if the lights won't turn on and there is intense, unsettling music playing in the background.
~ Never leave any part of your body exposed outside of the covers. The covers are your friends, stay under them. And DO NOT dangle your feet over the edge of the bed.
~ Never back up to a window. Inevitably the creature/demon/zombie/evil clown/vampire/ghost will break the glass and grab you. In fact, keep your window locked. And if you hear something tapping against it, it is most certainly NOT the wind.
~ Salt is your friend, keep it close. Silver bullets or iron blades are also recommended, but harder to take on airplanes.
If there's one thing I've learned, you can never be too careful.
Have a happy and SAFE Halloween!
Well if I wasn't freaked out before, I am now!!! :0)
ReplyDeleteWell, luckily you have your dogs to protect you!
DeleteThis is seriously awesome. And if Supernatural (and Buffy) has taught me anything, it's to always be prepared. Way to let the masses know what to do.
ReplyDeleteHappy Supernatural Halloween!
And people think TV is a waste of time. Pshaw! :)
DeleteThe good news, Julie, is that I typically do these things on a regular basis anyway.
ReplyDeleteI know you're kidding, but the sad thing is, I really do do these things on a regular basis.
DeleteROFL This is awesome! I learned as a wee girl (after watching too much of the Twilight Zone) to be wary of this stuff and to appreciate the value of a good blanket. Funny that, even today, if I wake up and find a body part hanging over the edge of the bed, I can't go back to sleep until I get it safely under cover again. =D
ReplyDeleteThe hard part is when my husband is out of town. Things are so much scarier when I'm all alone.
DeleteYou know...theme music does follow me around and does get more scary when I walk around corners...to see what is making all of those strange noises. And I sleep with my feet off the bed, but they're covered. Do you still think they're safe?
ReplyDeleteI love the this take of Halloween! They should teach it at school.
I don't know Melanie. Sleeping with your feet hanging over sounds pretty risky.
DeleteYou forgot the rules of cemetaries. Never walk through them at night and by no means stand on or near a grave; you are just asking for someones dead relative to pull you into their bedroom! Great post. Sorry for the late comment, been busy. Haha
ReplyDeleteHey T.J.! It's always nice to hear from you because I assume that means you're safe and sound. You're right about the graves and cemeteries. Another important safety tip.
