2. Great, you’ve ignored us. And now you’ve whipped your torch around one of the cabins and found Jason’s Vorhees’ bed. Brilliant. At least have the common decency to look scared...

3. Thank you. Finally, you’re listening to us. Okay, we think we just saw a shadow move under the door to your left. So, whatever you do, don’t go and have a look. We know that shadows are fascinating but...
