The Generic Horror Drinking Game is a game that can be played with any standard horror or hack n slash movie. It works best with the cheesy 80s movies that usually involve 6 or so people getting trapped in a cabin/mall/cave/etc… As long as the movie follows the predictable formula of a group being terrorized and murdered than this game should fit the bill just fine!
How to play the Horror Drinking Game
Requirements
Any classic horror movie and some drinks
Summary
In this game players bet on which character they think is going to die next. Then players drink or give drinks if they guessed correctly or not.
Generic Horror Drinking Rules
Once all the main characters are established you can pause the movie and players can take turns betting 1 to 5 drinks on who will die next. They can either pick a character from the main cast or they can pick “background character” or “the villain”. Whenever a character dies pause the movie. Whoever guessed right gets to give drinks equal to his or her bet. Whoever guessed wrong must drink their bet. If someone correctly guesses when the villain will die he gets to pick someone to finish their drink.
Additional Rules
If you wanted to try the more intense version you can add on the following rules. On top of the betting rules players can also drink whenever any of the following horror movie tropes happen:
- Main characters have sex
- Main characters decide to split up
- Someone goes to investigate the basement
- Phone line is cut
- The car doesn’t start
- There’s a shower scene
