The order you are born into your family can influence how you view the world and how you interact with others. How do those stereotypes match up with horror movie tropes? This list explains what would happen to you in a horror movie, based on your birth order.

Youngest child

A youngest child would definitely die in a horror movie. In fact, they’ll probably die first. They have little regard for rules, so they’d be exploring strange noises in the basement all alone, taunting the killer, losing their virginity, drinking — every single thing you’re not supposed to do in a horror movie. The youngest child may be the dumb person at the beginning of the movie whose inattentive actions result in their early demise.

Middle child

The middle child plays two roles in a horror movie: either they die or they’re the killer. Forever overlooked by other siblings, the middle child will try to stand out and get attention in a way that gets them killed. Or else, they have decided to turn the tables and the attention they crave in the most unwholesome of ways (by becoming the killer).

Oldest child

An oldest child will definitely survive a horror movie, and they’re too moral to be the killer. An oldest child is brave enough to do what it takes to survive, but cautious enough to not be an idiot and get themselves killed. They’ll be a protector of other people they meet along the way to their inevitable gruesome face-off with the killer. When it gets down to it, they’ll prevail.

Only child

An only child will survive a horror movie. They’re too mature to go crazy and kill people. They’re also too perfectionistic to do anything that would get them killed. Only childs are typically pretty smart and resourceful so they’ll be able to pull through and make it out alive.
