Things I Learned from The Haunting of Sorority Row

Well this weak and unoriginal TV-movie has TONS of plot cliches and I found it more funny than scary. Here's a few things I learned:

1. If a picture of someone has a blurred face, they will die soon.

2. Ghostly sorority girls are half-rotted and wear an expression that makes me recall The Exorcist, but when given their engagement ring they suddenly look like they're alive before some 90s-style SFX happens and they turn into a pile of bones.

3. If you're confined in a coffin for a minute, you will die inexplicably, giving the movie the only possible "nice" ending (ghost disappears, the bully gets her comeuppance, and the good guys all survive)

4. When a frat boy and a sorority girl have sex in a PG movie, they go to bed together with ALL their clothes on - and leave them on. All night.

Add more, please!

I found this odd myself, but I think since Sam had only known him for a little while, it was really early for them to do anything other than make out and fool around. Especially since he doesn't complete stand by Sam's side even when he's a bit freaked out and doesn't have to stay there regarding the last girl to have revenge taken out on her.

I thought they did not have sex honestly

5. When pledging, be sure your boyfriend is not a geek that will stand at the door and refuse to go away even after he has been told what is going on.

6. Frat boys like theater, sorority girls like beer and pool.

My only guess here is that with everything going on, she was 'scared to death' by being in the coffin.

12. There is no such thing as a fast metabolism. If you want to be thin...you better be ready to deal with an eating disorder.

13. When you're being burned to death in the shower, make sure you stand right under the shower rose where the water-jet is strongest and don't step back to where it is relatively water-free.

This one made me laugh for some reason. The simplicity of it.
