Scary movies are chock-full of powerhouse women overcoming the impossible, and in-turn many spooky movies offer great lessons we can all apply in business and in life. But just in case you aren’t the kind of person who had a Scream-themed 11th birthday party, here are some business lessons without the jump scares:

Always be a Team Player. (IT, 2017) When push comes to shove and you’re battling a project of epic proportions (or, you know, an evil clown in the sewers), there’s power in numbers. If everyone plays their part and communicates, there's no problem you can't handle.
Don’t run and hide from your problems. (Ready or Not, 2018) Your problems will always catch up to you, whether it be a regulation and compliance issue, or a new husband who’s family is in a diabolical cult (let's hope that's not it though). When times get rough, you can only run out the clock for so long. You have a much better chance of succeeding if you face things head on with wits and strategy. After all, sometimes the only way out of something is straight through it.
Some risks are not worth the money. (The Amityville Horror, 1979) If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. It can be tempting to take what appears to be a phenomenal deal, but sometimes those slashed prices were slashed for a very good reason.
There’s no shame in calling in the experts. (Poltergeist, 1982) (Jaws, 1975) (The Exorcist, 1973) No one expects you to know everything about everything. Even the most seasoned of CEOs probably don’t know how to get rid of a poltergeist, take down a great white shark, or perform an exorcism. And that’s fine. If wouldn't perform an exorcism on your own, don't do taxes on your own. Experts are available to us for a reason.
Learn from your predecessors. (Scream, 1997) Everyone wants to be an original, but it would be silly not to learn from those who came before you. If someone forged a path first, study it. You don’t have to be a copycat, but you could learn great things simply by paying attention to those who did it first.
