FRIDAY THE 13TH "Be Afraid! Be Very Afraid!


 From Mtv.com :

Today is Friday the 13th, which means anything that can go wrong will go wrong — black is white, up is down, pigs can fly, and all of these oddities will culminate in your demise in an epic "Final Destination" inspired display of gory awfulness.
Alright, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. But for the superstitious readers out there, you may want to consider being a little bit extra careful on this supposedly unlucky day. For example, while we would rarely encourage you to take cues from your favorite action heroes and act in dangerous and brash fashion, today is one day where you really don't want to step out of line — again, if you believe in superstition, that is.
So, in the name of speaking to that crowd, we're offering a little bit of advice on what not to do on Friday the 13th based on our horror movie watching experience. Check out our thoughts past the jump!


- Remember when I called out "Final Destination" earlier? There are a lot of lessons to glean from those films: don't stand under massive glass window elevated twenty stories in the air, don't exercise too aggressively in the weight room and make sure to stay away from airplanes of all kinds. In other words, avoid everything. Even ice water.
- In "Scream," Jamie Kennedy eloquently summarized the most important rules of surviving scary movies. One such rule is to never have sex, or else risk grisly death at the hands of a serial killer. We're not here to preach to you on what you do in your personal life, but maybe this is one unlucky day of the year where you don't want to get lucky, if you catch our drift.
- Don't go to sleep until the clock strikes midnight, unless you want to risk a lethal invasion from a guy like Freddy Krueger, or even the cast of "Inception." At the very least, make sure your mind is trained for such possibilities.
- Although he's not exactly a horror movie icon, Anton Chigurh of "No Country for Old Men" is one of the single most terrifying characters of all time. Take my advice, friendo: if you see somebody limping around your town today with an awkward haircut and a captive bolt pistol at his side, run — don't walk — in the other direction.
- Speaking of avoiding people — this is Friday the 13th we're talking about, after all — it's best if you avoid large men with hockey masks and machetes. You should probably do that every day of the year, but today is one particular day to look out for such thugs.
