Things Brits Would Not Do In A Horror Film
I am so excited about Halloween I could, erm, scream? The horror film collection gets pulled out and I send my nights watching the best horror film selection out there! I’ve spent hours trawling websites like hellhorror.com to find the best horror films out there. I don’t know about you but Halloween always makes me ponder spooky stuff. Ok, that’s a lie. I am always pondering spooky stuff for example, I am one of those people who has thought about what I would do in a Zombie apocalypse and it turns out I am not alone. Hurrah! In fact, a nationwide study revealed that 55% of us Brits have a solid plan in place made up of great choices if the dead emerged from their graves. I don’t know about you but I find this oddly reassuring!
And, fortunately, 56% of British adults polled said they believed they could survive a zombie apocalypse, with 15% of us regularly discussing it with mates down the pub. I really do appreciate this level of forward planning especially when it comes to surviving ghouls.
So I am curious, do you have a zombie invasion escape plan in place? If so what is it? The people surveyed stated the below at the top things NOT to do.
THINGS BRITS WOULD NOT DO IN A HORROR FILM…
- Run into the woods and not stay on the road 32 percent
- Run and hide somewhere you’ll be trapped 32 percent
- Get split from the group after someone has been murdered 31 percent
- Not look behind you 31 percent
- Trip and don’t get up immediately 31 percent
- Run out of petrol on a deserted highway 31 percent
- Make a noise near the zombie 30 percent
- Drop the car keys 28 percent
- Not having my phone on silent 27 percent
- Fail to charge your phone 26 percent
- Get in a cupboard or wardrobe 25 percent
- Not have a charged phone 25 percent
- Don’t call the police 24 percent
- Investigate a bump in the night 23 percent
Now, I have watched enough zombie films and tv shows to know that a lot of these make perfect sense. I think I’d stick to a rural area…with plenty of water and a lot of weapons!
The survey was created by giffgaff who are big on Halloween, why not check out their Halloween hub for some scary fun and retro Halloween costume inspiration or in my case just to see what was the most popular costume the year I was born, turns out it’s Ghostbuster, yasss!
So what are you doing for Halloween? Are you having a party, dressing up or trying to avoid it at all costs? Or are you too busy thinking about your zombie apocalypse escape plan to even consider celebrating the 31st? If so we want to know below and on our social channels, as sharing is caring after all…..and after all this zombie talk, now I am scared so the social engagement will be most welcomed!
It’s like TV shows that never age, this is the same for the horror film genre.
It’s amazing how many people want to do something fun for Halloween, but this is mostly across the pond in the US. I’e noticed we are not as out there with Halloween, it seems to be a huge thing over there. I often consider doing something similar but no one seems to do it really round here. I would rather have halloween decorations over Christmas. I know, I said it!
It’s incredible to think that so many people refuse to do Halloween and with the world becoming very different, will Halloween be left in the dust in the UK? I really hope not as it is my favourite time of the year!
What part of the year do you enjoy? Most people make the most effort for Christmas, but I like all the sabbats! That is the witchy side of me though as I love to celebrate all sabbats. Do you? Tell me below!
