My favorite horror movie cliche is the girl who runs up the stairs instead of down, thus setting herself up to be hunted down in the bathroom, where she'll be hiding behind the shower curtain. (Mostly because I know I would do the exact same thing in that situation.)

And now I'm going to have to take the rest of the week off.

My favorite part of this article is that it helps you get your motivation right. (Sample: You are Michael Myers from 'Halloween.' Your motivation: 'At age six, you stabbed your sister to death on Halloween with a butcher knife because, well, you could. You've been locked in a mental institution for fifteen years, but you escape and head back to your old home -- conveniently enough, on Halloween -- intent on killing anyone related to you. Apparently, you're terrible at family gatherings.')
