indescribable horror attack at start

First time poster, short time listener.

If you get a Unspeakably Awful Indescribable Horror monster (door) card mear the begining of the game would you almost certainly die?
You wouldn't have enough strength to defeat it and it has no "ignores below level" on it.
It's probable no one has enough power to defeat it added to your own as well.
Is it just chance you could die right away if you were unluckly in the run-away die?
That doesn't seem fun!

I have the 1st edition, 22 printing, if that matters.
