About this quiz
Horror movies run on rules. Don't split up. Don't go into the basement. Never, ever say "I'll be right back". Yet every cabin-in-the-woods story is full of characters who break them, and we love them for it.
This quiz figures out which classic horror archetype you would be. There is the final survivor who keeps a cool head, the skeptic who insists there is a logical explanation, the expert who has read the creepy old book, the comic relief, the wanderer who just needs to check on that noise, and the friend who turns out to be the twist.
There is no gore here and no specific films, just generic archetypes and everyday questions about how you deal with weird noises, bad plans and suspicious strangers. It is spooky-season fun that works all year round.
At the end you get your archetype, your odds of making it to the credits and your mix of the others. Share your card and find out which of your friends would definitely open the creaky door.
