Interesting they weren't entirely accurate.

They all drink, some live. Sidney has sex, lives. In the original Halloween, which started their conversation, Laurie smokes weed, lives.

That was pretty much the point.

The rules don't mean $hit.

Randy called them rules, but there're really more like clichés. They don't have to be true, but more offen than not they are.

When Sydney at the end says "not in MY movie." she was speaking to the whole "self aware horror movie" that this movie was. Since she was aware that she was in a horror movie, she could avoid the common pitfalls.
