    The Burbs: IDGAF what my neighbors are doing and you shouldn’t either.

    Evil Dead: Reading Books? I’ll wait for the movie.

    Tremors: Leave

    The Purge: Fake wound and blood and inject a paralyzer. Play dead until morning. Wonder if they visited that in the sequels because I have only watched the first.

      I know this is a shitpost but I can’t help myself, paralytic drugs also paralyze your diaphragm and only last a few minutes. Pancuronium is the longest lasting paralytic and a single dose will get you 60-90 mins max. Youd spend your time fully conscious while suffocating and be dead before anyone could notice your sweet prosthetic makeup.

      Also, you’d still have a pulse and warmth/color to your skin. Paralytics don’t stop your heartbeat, and are know to raise it to dangerous levels or cause dysrhythmias if not carefully controlled. So anything more than a passing glance (assuming you lived long enough for it to matter) would immediately give up the game and you’d be defenseless

      I hope you like rock climbing and walking through desert terrain, cuz in Tremors the valley’s one exiting road is blocked by a rock slide, so leaving isn’t as easy done as it is said.
