This week we lay down the official ground rules of The Horror Comedy Potcast's Guide to Survival! Almost like an old-school fable, Haley tells Jake about some horrifying tales with a powerful underlying theme. Each group of stories is to prove a point: if you follow this specific rule, you will survive the scary. Seven key rules to survival are explored, with several terrifying stories of endurance and bravery to support each rule.

Do you have your own rules of survival? We want to hear it! Email us, DM us, or let us know on our new Facebook page! Don't forget to drink water, and see you Wednesday for more short, scary stories.
