10. Stay on the main road!

Goofball slasher comedy The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre—the fourth entry in the series—is mostly remembered as the only Chainsaw movie to star a pair of future Oscar winners: Matthew McConaughey and Renée Zellweger. (Marilyn Burns, who played the original film’s Final Girl, also has a cameo.) But Return also contains our final lesson in prom-night survival: if you storm out of the dance, furious at your no-good cheater of a boyfriend, don’t disregard motor safety. You just might accidentally find yourself lost on a creepy back road… being chased by a chainsaw-wielding fiend.
