TO INFINITY…ANDLEGENDS OF DC BEYOND!
JUSTICE LEAGUE (Warner Bros./DC) – 11/17/17 Director: Zack Snyder Starring: Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill, Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Ezra Miller, Amy Adams, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Eisenberg Justice has seven letters. Justice League has seven members. 1. Superman 2. Batman 3. Wonder Woman 4. The Flash 5. Aquaman 6. Cyborg 7…(Please be Plastic Man Please be Plastic Man Please be Plastic Man)
BLACK LIGHTNING (The CW) – 2017 Creators: Salim Akil, Mara Brock Skil Starring: Cress Williams, China Anne McClain, Nafessa Williams, Christine Adams Nine years after retiring, Jefferson Pierce is roped back into the vigilante life of Black Lightning when the neighborhood falls victim to a crime lord. With Katana and Stagg Industries (Metamorpho!), over on Arrow, could The Outsiders be too far behind?
TITANS (DC Streaming) – 2018 Producers: Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter Starring: TBD DC’s iconic team of superhero sidekicks is finally getting the live action treatment, but what line- up could we see?! Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy seem like no brainers, but will we get an Arrow-verse Cyborg, a la Flash? Will Dick Grayson be Robin? Will Wally West move over from Flash? Or maybe Bart Allen? Wonder Girl?
KRYPTON (Syfy) – 2017 Creator: David S. Goyer Starring: Ann Ogbomo, Elliot Cowan, Ian McElhinney, Aaron Pierre Featuring all-new stories about Superman’s home planet 200 years before planetary disaster and Kal-El’s immigration to Earth. It’s nice to know when a TV series has an end date. Created by Team Click 9 COMIC-CON 2017 THE GUIDE
THATALL THE WAS TIME A COMICIN THE WORLDBOOK?
THE TICK (Amazon Studios) – 8/25/17 Creator: Ben Edlund Starring: Peter Serafinowicz, Griffin Newman, Jackie Earle Haley, Valorie Curry SPOOOOOOOOOON! Everyone’s favorite nigh-invulnerable arachnid for justice returns in an all-new series with his trusty rabbit moth sidekick, Arthur. Naughty spawn, beware the mighty Tick!
SCALPED (WGN America) – 2017 Directors: Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah Starring: Gil Birmingham, Alex Meraz, Irene Bedard This modern-day crime story explores the power struggle on a Native American Indian Reservation when Dashiell Bad Horse returns to town and butts heads with Chief Red Crow. Think Casino meets Thunderheart, with nunchucks.
I KILL GIANTS (1492 Pictures/Ocean Blue Entertainment) – 2017 Directors: Anders Walter Starring: Zoe Saldana, Imogen Poots A young girl navigates the hardships of life by escaping into a fantasy world of monsters and magic. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS LIKE. #netflix #d&d #xbox #comics
KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE (Twentieth Century Fox) – 9/22/17 Director: Matthew Vaughn Starring: Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Channing Tatum, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges The Brits and the Yanks team up to defeat a common enemy who holds the world hostage. Wait a minute…..this sounds a little familiar. Oh! Mr. Darcy & Magic Mike? Will there be water involved? Never mind, doesn’t matter, we’ll take two tickets, please.

THATALL WAS THE A TIME COMIC IN THEBOOK, WORLD TOO?
LOCKE AND KEY (Hulu/IDW Entertainment) – 2018 Executive Producers: Carlton Cuse, Joe Hill Starring: TBD After three siblings move into their ancestral home following the gruesome murder of their father, they discover an assortment of magical keys that give them bizarre abilities. The only bizarre ability we’ve ever had with that many keys is being heard coming from a mile away and ripping the seams out of our pants pocket.
ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL (Twentieth Century Fox) – 7/20/18 Director: Robert Rodriguez Starring: Rosa Salazar, Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Rodriguez, Christoph Waltz, Jackie Earle Haley, Casper Van Dien, Jeff Fahey The famous post-apocalyptic Japanese manga gets the Sin City treatment as Rodriguez brings the tale of a scrapheap cyborg with amnesia to life. Probably more exciting than our scrapheap cyborg, though we did teach ours to make margaritas.
Happy (Syfy) – 2017 Creators: Grant Morrison, Brian Taylor Starring: Christopher Meloni, Bobby Moynihan After enjoying years of casual sex & murder, an ex-cop-turned-hitman’s life is turned upside down when a hit goes wrong. The result? A tiny, relentlessly positive, blue winged horse now follows him wherever he goes. We’re surprised it took years of murder to do that. Usually a night of bad tequila decisions would suffice.
Y: The Last Man (FX) – 2017 Creator: Brian K. Vaughn Starring: TBD Yorick Brown, the literal last surviving human with a Y chromosome, takes on a mission to discover what led to the extinction of the world’s male chromosomes. The guys around here are really hoping it wasn’t bacon.

WHAT WE’RE CURRENTLY READING
All-New Wolverine/Old Man Logan – What is old is new is… well, the original Wolverine died, so these two series follow the tales of the original Logan’s daughter, Laura, and a future alternate-reality version of himself. DC Bombshells – Set during World War II, this reimagines all your favorite DC super hero women with more victory rolls and red lipstick, though their butt-kicking prowess remains the same. Detective Comics – This most recent series has collected a group of Bat-allies like Cassandra Cain and Batwoman, along with Clayface, who has a pretty great character arc as we learn that the longer he’s in clay form, the more…malleable his moral compass becomes. Injustice: Gods Among Us – Based on the popular game, this series imagines a world where Superman is traumatized to the point that he decides pre-emptive and permanent justice is better. Batman, of course, disagrees and their world is torn asunder as the two sides battle it out. Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur – The Marvel Team-Up we never knew we totally needed: a young super genius and a giant red dinosaur. Fun, fantastical stuff like this is kind of why we read comics in the first place. Ms. Marvel – Kamala Khan blends the duality and teen angst of Spider-Man with the unfailing sincerity and conscientiousness of Wonder Woman. Books with her in them are fantastic, e.g. Champions, which also features Miles Morales, another of our faves. Saga – We could say this is NOT a gorgeously- rendered series that blends mind-bending sci-fi with action, adventure, and romance, but then we’d be lying. Spider-Gwen – The continuing adventures of Gwen Stacy’s arachnid heroine includes great dialogue, fresh takes on favorite characters, and art that is edgy and fun. Tiny Titans – Robin, Superboy, Wonder Girl and many more can be found on these pages battling dirty bedrooms, playground bullies, and falling ice cream. They’re great for the little heroes in your life. AW YEAH TITANS!
Note: Both DC & Marvel have rebooted many of their books in the past year and it’s a great jumping-on point for fans of different characters in the superhero universes, as many of them are quite good.

100 Bullets – What would you do if someone gave you an untraceable gun with 100 untraceable bullets and evidence that one person ruined your life? Astro City – The real central character of this series (featuring somewhat familiar characters) is the title city and the people who live there. Buffy the Vampire Slayer – The series picked up where the show ended. The limitations of a TV budget were tossed out the window when pen and ink came into play. Daytripper – This beautiful, award-winning graphic novel chronicles the life and death of a man who sees the world unlike anyone else. DMZ – Follow the story of a reporter who sets out to cover both sides of the second American Civil War in a battle-torn Manhattan. Ex Machina – An ex-hero that can speak to machines becomes mayor of New York City. The story alternates between current politics and past heroics. Fables – Our favorite “gateway drug” to the world of comics asks, “What if all your favorite fairy tale characters had been exiled from their homelands, and were now living together in New York?” Fear Agent – The story of an alcoholic survivor of an interplanetary invasion on Earth who slugs it out with alien races across the galaxy. Locke & Key – Coming in the next couple years to TV, this series is about ancient keys that are scattered throughout an old mansion, each one unlocking a unique set of abilities in the user. Lumberjanes – A group of girls encounter mysterious shenanigans happening in the woods around their summer camp. Manifest Destiny – For you Old West period buffs, here’s an excellent horror series chronicling the secret monster-hunting adventures of Lewis & Clark. Morning Glories – Sort-of a “LOST” set in a high school. Brain-bendy. Rat Queens – A foul-mouthed party of adventurers get into trouble in their fantasy realm. Repeatedly. Rising Stars – The life story of a group of kids who are granted special abilities from a mysterious light in the sky. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – Skottie Young & Eric Shanower have faithfully adapted Baum’s books in a beautiful and brilliant series of graphic novels. WHAT WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND

HEROES & VILLAINS
HENCHMEN (Entertainment One) – 2017 Director: Adam Wood Starring: Rosario Dawson, Nathan Fillion, James Marsden, Jane Krakowski, Bobcat Goldthwait When you have to choose between being a super villain and a hero, the choice is obvious (villain). But what if you had to become a hero (gasp!) in order to save the villains!? Decisions, decisions…
THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE (Warner Bros.) – 9/22/17 Directors: Charlie Bean, Paul Fisher, Bob Logan Starring: Olivia Munn, Justin Theroux, Michael Peña, Dave Franco By night, six young ninjas defend their island home from villains. By day, however, they're ordinary teens fighting their greatest enemy: puberty! Or, um, high school.
ARCTIC JUSTICE: THUNDER SQUAD (Open Road Films) – 1/26/18 Directors: Aaron Woodley Starring: James Franco, Jeremy Renner, Alec Baldwin An ambitious mail room fox uncovers an evil walrus’ plan to melt the polar ice caps and has to assemble a ragtag group of Arctic creatures to stop him and his army of super-polite puffins. We can relate!
THE INCREDIBLES 2 (Walt Disney Studios/ Pixar) – 6/15/18 Director: Brad Bird Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson Honey, where are our super suits?!

YOU KNOW, FOR KIDS!
COCO (Walt Disney Studios / Pixar) – 11/22/17 Director: Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina Starring: Gael García Bernal, Benjamin Bratt, Anthony Gonzalez, Edward James Olmos, Cheech Marin A young boy who dreams of becoming a musician meets a charming trickster and embarks upon a journey through the Land of the Dead to uncover the secrets of his family’s past, aka the True Life Story of Enrique Iglesias.
EARLY MAN (Lionsgate) – 2/16/18 Director: Nick Park Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Maisie Williams, Richard Ayoade, Timothy Spall The stop-motion legends behind Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep roll the clock back to the dawn of time and land of mammoths and cavemen. Wonder if they’ll discover cheese…?
GNOME ALONE (Smith Global Media) – 10/13/17 Director: Peter Lepeniotis Starring: Becky G., Josh Peck A little something for those of us who wonder about the secret lives of our garden gnomes (we’ve all done it). Once you know the truth, do you go back to school like everything is normal, or do you pick a side in the battle between gnomes and Troggs?
SONIC MANIA (Video Game) (Sega) – 8/15/17 In a move that could not have come fast enough (ironically), Sega brings back an all-new adventure in classic 2D featuring everyone’s favorite hedgehog, plus the choice to play beloved sidekick Tails and the brawny Knuckles. Get them rings!

YOU KNOW, FOR KIDS!
BLAZING SAMURAI (Open Road Films) – 2017 Director: Chris Bailey Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Yeoh, Michael Cera, Mel Brooks, George Takei, Ricky Gervais Inspired by comedy classic Blazing Saddles, this is the story of a dog who dreams of becoming a great warrior and saving his town from an evil feline warlord. It’s good boy meets bad kitty.
MY LITTLE PONY: THE MOVIE (Lionsgate) – 10/6/17 Director: Jayson Thiessen Starring: Uzo Aduba, Emily Blunt, Zoe Saldana, Michael Peña, Kristin Chenowith, Liev Schreiber The Mane 6 venture out to fight dark forces threatening their beloved Ponyville. Keep your Pegasisters and Bronies close, it’s gonna to be a bumpy ride!
THE LAND OF SOMETIMES (Kaleidoscope UK) – 2017 Director: Leon Joosen Starring: Ewan McGregor, Terry Jones Follow along with twins Alfie & Elise on their musical adventure as they visit an island filled with strange and unique characters. Since this is based on a critically acclaimed audio book, would it qualify as a TL;DR or TL;DL?
LEAP! (The Weinstein Company) – 8/30/17 Directors: Éric Summer, Éric Warin Starring: Elle Fanning, Maddie Ziegler, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mel Brooks, Kate McKinnon An inspirational tale of an orphan girl who leaves her rural village and heads to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a ballerina. Something many of us have dreamed of, for sure. (The dancing and Paris, not the orphan part.)

FLIGHTS OF FANTASY
BRIGHT (Netflix) – December 2017 Director: David Ayer Starring: Will Smith, Noomi Rapace, Joel Edgerton It’s just another Tuesday as a human cop and his Orc partner race to find a mystical weapon before it falls into the wrong hands. Mythical creatures living side by side with humans, what could possibly go wrong?!
MIDDLE-EARTH: SHADOW OF WAR (Video Game) (Warner Bros. Interactive/Monolith Productions) – 10/10/17 After conquering Orc and Troll armies throughout Middle Earth in Shadow of Mordor, it’s looking like we’ll get to lay our hands (and swords) upon Ringwraiths this time around! Bring it.
FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM 2 (Warner Bros.) – 11/16/18 Director: David Yates Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Johnny Depp, Zoë Kravitz, Jude Law The (mis)adventures of Newt Scamander continue as the stakes are raised with the inclusion of Gellert Grindelwald and a young Dumbledore.

TOMB RAIDER (Warner Bros.) – 3/16/18 Director: Roar Uthaug Starring: Alicia Vikander, Walton Goggins, Dominic West Lara Croft’s origin as an adventurer kicks off as she searches for her missing father on a remote island. For those of you unfamiliar with the critically acclaimed re-invention of the Tomb Raider series, Croft has traded in her trademark dual- pistols for a climbing axe and a bow. Legit badass.
RAMPAGE (New Line Cinema) – 4/20/18 Director: Brad Peyton Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Malin Akerman, Joe Manganiello, Jeffrey Dean Morgan Not a lot is known about this adaptation of the popular ‘80s arcade game. Making our best guesses, we’d say Malin is playing Lizzie the lizard, Joe is Ralph the werewolf and Dwayne is George the ape.
WRECK IT RALPH 2: RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET (Walt Disney Studios) – 11/21/18 Directors: Phil Johnston, Rich Moore Starring: John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, James Corden, Alan Tudyk, and every Disney princess from Jodi Benson to Auli'i Cravalho! We don’t normally include things in here that won’t come out before next year’s SDCC, but we’re unreasonably (yet justifiably) excited for more wreckage.
JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (Columbia Pictures) – 12/20/17 Director: Jake Kasdan Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Jack Black The biggest problem with being sucked into a vintage video game unexpectedly is that you don’t have enough time to hit up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start. Best keep an eye on your life meter! (To be fair, that’s generally good advice IRL, too.)

Sci-Fi/ Fantasy Swear !!@#$! Words
If uttered, the following words and phrases are likely to get your mouth washed out by the village elders or local Jedi master.
Bantha Fodder – In a galaxy far, far away, this is used to suggest that the thing or person being referred to is a lie or lying. Similar to a phrase using the initials B and S, it is also often shortened to “poodoo.”
Bastich – Insinuating someone is of questionable parentage and character. Originating in 2000 AD’s Judge Dredd, it was later coopted for DC Comics’ Lobo.
Gorram – In a galaxy-spanning sci-fi universe like the one of Firefly, not everyone believes in the same god. But they still need to swear.
Lump – If you need a substitute for the F in your traditional WTF, and the kids have caught on to Frak, you could try this expletive from Adventure Time instead.
Mudblood – Derogatory term from the Harry Potter series referring to a witch or wizard with at least one Muggle (non-magic) parent.
Mutie – Pejorative term for Mutants in the Marvel universe.
P'Tok – This term for a child lacking a spine is hurled as an insult or used as an expletive by Klingons. It is also generally understood by many other species in the world of Star Trek.
Rutting – Similar to the F bombs of our world, this one can be alternately used as adjective or conjunction, depending on how you much of a rutting grammar nerd you are.
Shazbot – A handy exclamatory phrase from Mork & Mindy to keep on the tip of your tongue in case you stub your toe around your grandma.
Smeghead – Slang for idiot or jerk, used as the primary insult in the BBC series Red Dwarf.
Smurf – In the la-la land of The Smurfs, this word can get your mouth washed out with soap by Papa Smurf, depending on how you smurfing use it. Created by Team Click 25 COMIC-CON 2017 THE GUIDE

First things first: supplies! Your first instinct might be to run to Hot Topic for some studded belts and Manic Panic then join the ruling punk gang, but you’d be wrong. Instead, find some clothing with pockets that’s built to last and protect you from the elements. If the current slate of apocalyptic films are an indicator, sunscreen is going to be top of your list, but be sure to grab a few bandanas too, for air filters, sun protection, bandages, or even wicks for Molotov cocktails. For things like wood, nails, and batteries/generators, get to the hardware store. Plus, there are no windows there for undesirables to crawl through, so it’s a good place to hunker down.
Stock up on booze! They ain’t making more of it. Use the cheap stuff for cleaning wounds and making bombs. Maybe get some canned food while you’re at it. Oh, and matches. You always need matches.
Guns & Knives You may have not have been a fan of them before, but now you might have to protect yourself from rabid dogs, mutant beasts, zombies, or worst of all, nasty humans. First-time shooters: stick with the easy-to-use revolver or shotgun, and just in case we’re dealing with zombies, aim for the head.
Your smart phone just became kind of useless, so find yourself a CB and some 2-way radios to communicate with any fellow survivors. You can find these at an electronics store, event production company, or abandoned semi truck. (Just make sure the trucker doesn’t try to eat you.)
You may have realized that you can’t find these stores without your computer or phone. Best break into your elderly neighbor’s home and steal a big yellow book called “The Yellow Pages.” Grab a map from your local gas station.
If you’re the sole survivor, keep the blues (and boredom) away by binge-watching your favorite shows the old-fashioned way—TV on DVD. You can use gas from empty cars to fuel your generators and keep those discs spinning. Also a good argument for keeping your physical media collection.

It’s super cool down here in the sewer. We got clowns, zombies, werewolves, spiders, all kinds of great stuff. Best of all? We all float down here. Everything floats. Come on down! Beep, beep, Ritchie.
THE DARK TOWER (Columbia Pictures) – 8/4/17 Director: Nikolaj Arcel Starring: Katheryn Winnick, Matthew McConaughey, Idris Elba, Jackie Earl Haley Look, we’ve all been there. You’re a gunslinger, shooting up an entire town and you have to reload your guns. It’s a pain, right? You gotta see how Roland does it. This guy can totally reload a revolver with one hand. And fast, too! Oh, also there’s an evil wizard, portals, basic end of the world type stuff. Fingers crossed for a lobstrosity.
CASTLE ROCK (Hulu/Bad Robot) – 2018 Creator: Stephen King, J.J. Abrams Starring: Melanie Lynskey, Bill Skarsgård, Jane Levy, Andre Holland, Sissy Spacek Characters from Stephen King’s universe will return as stories weave in and out of their lives. Maybe we will finally learn why everyone doesn’t get the @!*# out of Maine. Seriously. Nothing good happens there. And we all know this is really Derry. You’re not fooling anyone.

INSIDIOUS CHAPTER FOUR (Sony Pictures Entertainment) – 1/5/18 Director: Adam Robitel Starring: Lin Shaye, Leigh Whannell, Josh Stewart, Kirk Acevedo With younger versions of Lin Shaye’s character appearing in the film, it looks like we’ll be getting a little more backstory on her history with The Further. Considering how stressful that place is, we wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out Lin is actually only 25 years old.
DEATH NOTE (Netflix) – 8/25/17 Director: Adam Wingard Starring: Nat Wolff, Margaret Qualley, Willem Dafoe, Keith Stanfield, Shea Whigham If you found a book that would kill any person whose name you wrote in it, would you use it for good or for evil? Predictably, a high school student that found it chose to become a vigilante, as you do. Based on a manga comic, this should technically be on page 10 or 11 but we needed another movie for this page, so… Shhh.
FRIEND REQUEST (Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures) – 9/22/17 Director: Simon Verhoeven Starring: Alycia Debnam-Carey, William Moseley, Connor Paolo, Brit Morgan A popular girl shares everything with her 800+ friends on Facebook, but after friending & unfriending a social outcast, her closest FB friends begin dying cruel deaths. ‘Scuse us while we take a few moments to “re-friend” a few folks…

HELLO, DOLLY!
CULT OF CHUCKY (Universal Studios) – 10/20/17 Director: Don Mancini Starring: Jennifer Tilly, Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent Let’s be real here. Aren’t we ALL in the Cult of Chucky? Friends ‘til the end! Words to live (and die) by, for sure. Hidey-ho!
ANNABELLE: CREATION (Warner Bros.) – 8/11/17 Director: David F. Sandberg Starring: Anthony LaPaglia, Miranda Otto, Stephanie Sigman While we do enjoy plots surrounding Annabelle, we’re also pretty sure that someone could just film a room full of porcelain dolls by themselves, no trickery, and achieve a fairly strong level of discomfort and dread within the viewer. Right?
PUPPET MASTER: AXIS TERMINATION (Full Moon Features) – 8/11/17 Director: David F. Sandberg Starring: Anthony LaPaglia, Miranda Otto, Stephanie Sigman Everyone’s favorite murder puppets are back for the final chapter of the Axis Saga! Join in the fun as Pinhead, Blade, Six Shooter, Tunneler, Jester and Leech Woman enjoy a blood-soaked Nazi-killing spree. Remember: Nazis are BAD. (It’s sad that some people have to be reminded about that.)

LIVE. DIE. RINSE. REPEAT.
JIGSAW (Lionsgate) – 10/27/17 Director: Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig Starring: Laura Vandervoort, Tobin Bell, Callum Keith Rennie It’s been 10 years since Jigsaw died, but mutilated bodies are starting to pop up again. In a somewhat similar vein, we’ve planted a virus in this document that will begin leaking your browser history online in the next 60 minutes. Would you like to play a game?
THE PURGE 4 (Universal Pictures) – 7/4/18 Director: James DeMonaco Starring: TBD This prequel will explore the history of The Purge. Sooo, it’s a current events documentary?
HAPPY DEATH DAY (Universal Pictures) – 10/13/17 Director: Christopher Landon Starring: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Ruby Modine It’s Groundhog Day meets Scream, with a serial killer murdering a college student over and over again in different ways until she can figure out WHY. Personally, we love Groundhog Day AND murdered teens, so we’re in no hurry for her to figure it out.

SO YOU'RE IN A HORROR MOVIE...
You know the signs. Maybe you’re enjoying a weekend at a remote, rustic cabin, and your friends start disappearing. Or you start to hear the shimmering strains of a child singing while you’re alone in the house. Or maybe you’ve started noticing a suspicious smell coming from your roommate, making you wonder if he really lived through that recent accident after all.
If you notice any of these things, the bad news is, you are probably in a horror movie. The good news is, we at Team Click have seen plenty of scary fare, and we’re here to help you save your skin. Literally.
Tip 1: Don’t Panic! Keep a level head and you’ll be more likely to keep your actual head. Speaking of common sense, Tip 2: Stick Together, People Unless your name is Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy or Scooby, there is absolutely no way that splitting up is going to work out for you. Tip 3: Stay Sober You know how hard it is to play beer pong when you’re inebriated, and the ping-pong balls aren’t trying to kill you. (Although, that does give us an idea for a new horror franchise…) Tip 4: Know, and Respect, Your Enemy Your odds of surviving will increase greatly if you can accurately identify exactly who or what is trying to kill you, especially if you plan to fight back. Different weapons kill different monsters, after all. And no mocking! The second you try to lighten the mood by playing with that doll like it isn’t a creepy possessed killing machine is the second it takes your life with its tiny, tiny porcelain hands. Tip 5: Be a Wholesome Girl Sorry dudes, but if Final Girl Theory has taught us anything, it’s that odds of survival are next to zero unless you are a nice, intelligent girl who can keep it in her pants. If that doesn’t describe you, then you could try wielding a killer sense of humor—often the comic relief is only horribly maimed. Everyone else? You’re toast.
And finally, when it comes to that dank basement, mysterious room, or oddly rustling closet, for goodness sake people, Tip 6: DON’T GO IN THERE!
