- If you find that your house is built upon or near a cemetary,
was once a church used for black masses, had previous inhabitants who went mad or
committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed
satanic practices in your house move away immediately.

- When it appears that you have killed the monster, *never*
check to see if it's really dead.
- Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.
- Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone
out.

- When you have the benefit of numbers, *never* pair off and go
it alone.
- As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to
Hell.
- If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.

- Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a
grave, tomb, crypt, mausoleum, or other house of the dead.
- If you're searching for something which caused a noise and
find out that it's just the cat, leave the room immediately if you value your life.

- If you find a town which looks deserted, it's probably for a
reason. Take the hint and stay away.
- If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall
down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the
fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving
fast enough to catch up with you.

- Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure
you know what you're doing.
- If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic
behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and
so on, get away from them as fast as possible.

- Do not take *anything* from the dead.
- Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which
are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you
recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.

- If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the nearby
deserted-looking house to phone for help.
- Beware of strangers bearing tools such as chainsaws, staple
guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches,
soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from deceased companions.
