14. I'll Be Right Back

No.

You won't.

You are not coming back.

Nobody who says "I'll be right back" in a horror movie is coming back.

It's basically a legally binding death certificate.

"I'm just going to grab something from the car."

DEAD.

"I'm going to check upstairs."

DEAD.

"I'm going to see what that noise was."

VERY DEAD.

The safest response to "I'll be right back" is:

"Nope. I'll come with you."

Congratulations.

You've just increased your survival odds.
