When you're writing a story and there's going to be a spoiler in it, should you tell people that a spoiler is coming?

.....if you're Writing a story, spoilers are unavoidable as they further the plot.
If you're talking about a film or tv show or something that's different. If the movie is older than five years I don't mark spoilers because almost everyone knows by then. For example, I think we all know what the twist of The sixth sense is, I think we all also know that Bella gets Edward in twilight and her exboyfriend the Shirtless werewolf dude becomes a *********.
If you're doing a review only reveal spoilers if they are INTEGRAL to the review.Like (2)

In my opinion: yes, unless the group is called "I love *name of specific movie/book/whatever*". ;-)

yes, like it would spoil it for people to know the twist In "the Sixth Sense" for example and I would want them to experience "this twist" for themselves.
