    The survivor.

    He or she will have sweet, relaxing, undisturbed sleep for the rest of her life. I think not.
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.

    Rumours...

    No, they have to survive to come back for a lame sequel.

    The guy in the red shirt's always the first to go.

    Depends on whether it's Modern Horror or Gothic Horror. In the latter, it's easily arguable that the villain suffers most.

    I hate to say this, but from what I've seen...black people suffer the most, at least in the movies I've seen.

    I don't know, personally I'd like to think that whomever you focus on would seem to you to suffer the most.

    Though one generalization is obviously true: the Blonde dominates the story.

    I hate generic Hollywood horror...
