Just in case you have forgotten "the rules".

Please use these helpful hints
this and every year. Happy Halloween!

1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, NEVER check to see if
   it's really dead.
2. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.
3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone out.
4. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in
   the long run. However, it will probably take several rounds to kill them,
   so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak with somebody else's
   voice.
5. When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER pair off and go alone.
6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.
7. Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. This would apply
   to any other house of the dead as well.
8. If you're searching for something which caused a loud noise and find out
   that it's just the cat, GET THE HELL OUT!
9. If appliances start operating by themselves, do not check for short
   circuits; just get out.
10. Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.
11. If you find a town which looks deserted, there's probably a good reason
    for it. Don't stop and look around.
12. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know
    what you're doing.
13. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at
    least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that,
    despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling
    along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.
14. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior
    such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness,
    and so on, kill them immediately.
15. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed
    here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you
    recognize this one), anywhere in Texas where chainsaws are sold, the Bermuda
    Triangle, or any small town in Maine.
16. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go to the
    nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help. If you think that it is
    strange you ran out of gas because you thought you had most of a tank, shoot
    yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and most likely be eaten.
17. Beware of strangers bearing strange tools. For example: chainsaws,
    staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers,
    butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from
    deceased companions.
18. If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the time
    to move in with the in-laws. This also applies to houses that had previous
    inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible
    fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices in your house.
