You forgot... don't take showers, don't walk down basement stairs... actually avoid the basement altogether, and stay near unimportant characters that are likely to die before you do. Establish yourself as a main character by being relatable and getting the most camera time.

I kinda wish that horror movies were shorter and more to the point. Less frills. It would be nice if every once in a while the hero just beats the murderer to death with a baseball bat... or the sheriff shoots 'em in the head instead of getting murdered right before they are going to help.

Yeah, the protagonists actually being useful would be nice.

Then you could always hit 'em with "there's more than one."
There is no overkill.

Only "Open fire" and "I need to reload."

Would be cool to use shadowrun as an engine for a modern zombie movie campaign.

And yes, yes it does.

I was thinking of something starting out more along the lines of resident evil 2 (the game), dawn of the dead (remake), or zombieland. The only problem is that people would be really upset if their characters die, so it would probably be best to have only one or two actually players (Possibly controlling more than one character, depending on the type of story). I love the stories in those old playstation games like resident evil 2 and parasite eve. Would probably go with something similar.

If I was going to base a ShadowRun game on horror, I'd use Silent Hill or something Lovecraft wrote.  Maybe throw in a little Eraserhead and Jacob's Ladder.  I would destroy everyone's sense of reality and sanity.

I'd mix Silent Hil and Parasite Eve, creepy fog and supernatural weirdness meets superscience (iirc) mutants seems like a winning combination to me.

REJOICE! For bad things are about to happen.

What I used to do to high armored PC's in Cyberpunk was throw them against the Bozo's (who happen to use lots of weapons that incorporate acid).  Nothing like watching three guys stripping off armor as they run from a bunch of gangers dressed like killer clowns from outer space.  I am new to Shadowrun 4th ed. so I have no idea if acid would burn through armor but it is something to think about.  Also water would be a problem.  I think that it would kind of be hard to swim in ceramic plate and kevlar.

SILENT HIIIIIIILLLLLLLL!!!!! <3 <3 <3

Totallynotafangirlofthewholeseriesnopenotabit.

Still want to go back and play Parasite Eve. I wanted to do a Call of Cthulu game based on Silent Hill, but I never got around to it.

And Jacob's Ladder is one of the main inspirations for Silent Hill, especially 3 or 4. Never seen the movie, I could tell you which of the games it was if I actually did. XD I think 4's my favorite because of Walter.

Though how Silent Hill could be made into Shadowrun I'm finding hard to see unless you could like... do it as getting trapped in a freakydeaky matrix program or something? (lol now it's .Hack//sign...)

Jacob's Ladder is a serious mind-f.. uh, great movie. Saw it at a midnight showing when I was a freshman in college.

Well, it inspired the silent hill games. It has to be... one of those sort of movies. My mother complained that she couldn't understand it which usually means that it was a good movie.

Definitely good, but some of the visuals were creepy as hell (granted, it's about 20 years old, so they might not be as creepy anymore).
