What would YOU do if you were trapped inside the asylum alone?

The second film showed that you can survive in there alone if you know what you're doing. How long would it take you to stop being scared? Weeks? Months? Years? What would you be doing? Would you try to unlock the mysteries? Would you be able to keep your sanity? How long would you keep looking for a natural, physical way out until you give up completely?

I think I would take a LONG time until I stopped being scared, if ever. However, once I became numb to the demonic faces and constant real life jump scares, I would make a sort of "professional career" out of it. I would try to get as much as I need to make a detailed map, and I would constantly take notes about each and every inconsistency and pattern that arises. I want to know that place like the back of my hand, and every ghost inside.

I would try to bargain with whatever was there, but I say that with the hindsight that we moviegoers generally believe that these sorts of things will defeat you if that is what they intend (so why try to evade it and be the mouse?). I'd meet the thing head on, summon all the courage I could then demand it humour me for a moment. I'd ask it if it has any designs on me or if it simply liked playing with people then I'd tell it I'm not going to feed it and that it should just get it over with. Better dead than terrified!

Though I would cheekily slip in to the conversation that I may be much weaker and powerless than it while alive, but being dead will be new to me and I could be quite a competitive or annoying spirit and *beep* it right in it's ear!

Then I would pop a hole in my orange cup with the included straw and proceed to drink my OJ defiantly.

I'd probably be dead within minutes

I think it is silly thay Preston lived so long. Wether he is really eluding the evil or being allowed to survive isn't cleat but it had to be the latter in my opinion.

It is my dream to be locked in an Asylum alone. I would like to have my sister there though. It would be more fun. I would definitely try to unlock the mysteries. If it were real then yes I would be scared.
