Walk through the pitch-black hall of doom, run into a few corpses, or let them run into you. Don't take that early exit; Michael Myers is just around the corner. You feel like you could potentially get sick, but there's no turning back now. Forget about turning around to find out your friends took another route, the dead guy with the chainsaw is straight ahead: If you run, he'll run after you; if you walk, he'll still run after you.
