Question 1/5

1. Several students around town have fallen victim to a crazed murderer. What’s your reaction?

You’re creeped out, though you try not to show it. You brush it off, even though you’re constantly looking over your shoulder.

You’re intrigued. Now you can finally put all of your horror movie expertise to use.

You scoff and ignore it. Probably just another dumb rumor made up by someone looking for attention.

You’re scared. Even if it’s just a rumor, you stay on high alert and act with caution.

It definitely freaks you out, but you’re sure that everything will be okay as long as you stay with a group.

Question 2/5

2. It’s Halloween night. How are you spending the holiday?

Hosting the biggest party in town and socializing with whoever you can.

Watching some of your favorite horror movies with a few close friends.

Enjoying some time to yourself, alone with your thoughts.

Hanging out at a party, but unable to focus on anything besides the possibility of a killer lurking in the dark.

Staying with your partner the whole night.

Question 3/5

3. What do you wear for your Halloween plans?

Your sports clothes as you just came from practice.

A complicated and niche costume you’ve been planning for months.

Just whatever combination of sweatpants and hoodie that you wore to school that day.

A fun costume that’s the perfect balance of creative and classic.

Something a little basic, but still cute.

Question 4/5

4. You’ve somehow managed to get separated from the rest of your friends. You think that you’re alone, but the rustling noises around you say otherwise. What do you do?

Start running at the threat. You can probably scare it off.

Hide. You have a bad feeling you can’t outrun the threat, but maybe you can wait it out.

Start walking away as quickly but subtly as you can. Try not to make it seem obvious that you know someone else is there.

Do your best to get a sense of your surroundings and figure out the best way to escape the threat.

Start screaming. If you can draw attention to yourself, someone else will come and help you soon enough.

Question 5/5

5. You got away, for now. But the killer has claimed another victim. What kind of precautions do you take?

None. You already got away once, and you know that you can do it again.

You barricade yourself inside of your house and keep a phone close by.

You stay home and just go to bed, locking the doors tightly.

You and a few of your closest friends all hide out together and take turns keeping watch.

You decide to stay in a large group of people and constantly recount your near-death experience with the killer.
