i gotta say this thread has amazing ideas from me, you, and doc that will make amazing haunted house ideas in real life. bravo.

 

Yeah. A GAME OVER house entirely dedicated to horror games. To be honest, it'd make a good sequel, being darker and more horror-based than the original.

 

I don't know how characters from my haunted house would interact with Cuphead characters. It's not really something I think about.

Also here's a question for DocNiktMarr if you have a scarezone where all the scaracters from your haunted house ideas invade the Inkwell Isles from the video game Cuphead how would you treat it? (Also it's a crazy idea i had so sorry if it sounds too crazy for you)

Yeah, too crazy, and I don't play XBox. Plus, a lot of Cuphead is the animation, the weird transformations, the strive for a vintage feel. It wouldn't lend itself too well to a scarezone where it's invaded by Project Evilution rejects and Micheal Myerses as silent Blues Brothers, it'd be like if The Land of Ooo was attacked by The Fire Nation and B:TAS supervillains. Not that well visually.

 

If anything, Cuphead should either go in the Game Over house, or get its own house.

Rick: No thanks i'm a man of science not a man of drugs.

 

 

 

But as the Rick Dance proves, Rick is a man of science AND drugs.

You bet it is! Also what about the Adult Swim's Funhouse of Horror idea? Are there some changes to be made to the haunted house idea? Here's another question for DocNiktmarr would there be interactions of the scaracters in your haunted house idea based scarezone?

 

Again, I don't see it as a "My Ideas" Scarezone, but rather a "This Year's Main Events" Scarezone. So it's not like it'd be all of my ideas together, just like one or two, maybe three of my houses' characters alongside whatever other IPs and originals they have that year. (Also why I didn't list scarezones - they already have a scarezone for themselves)

BUT, if it was a big scarezone:

-(Lord Eldritch stalks the Necromancer)

 Eldritch: (FALCON PUNCH) NATURAL TWENTY! (whiffs it) damn gm.

-(Zanta Claws chats with Fouettard)

 Zanta: We're a lot alike, you and I.

 Fouettard: We should team up!

 Zanta: That's what I was thinkin'! Better than that Tom bastard.

-(Rick admires the aquatic hybrids)

 Rick: You see, Morty, sometimes science is a lot more art than science. A lot of people don't get that.

 Morty: That's some messed-up s--t, Rick.

 Rick: IT'S ART, MORTY! YOUR PUNY MIND CAN'T SEE IT, BUT IT'S ART!

-(Billy follows Rick)

 Billy: WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB! I'M PICKLE RICK!

 Rick: Who the f--k let you watch Adult Swim?

-(Joker has a bunch of villains' attention)

 Joker: I have brought you here today for one reason: TO DESTROY SUPERMAN! ...I've always wanted to say that!

-(Kichasuka Ona approaches Borderlands Psycho)

 Kichasuka: Am I pretty?

 Psycho: I WILL MAKE YOU FACE PIZZA

 Kichasuka: (Backs away slowly)

-(Willie rakes the ground besides a scared guest)

 Willie: Willie hears ya, Willie don't care.

-(Hugo strange approaches Rick)

 Hugo: What secrets your mind must hold...

 Rick: Smarter men have tried, pal, so f--k off.

-(Shinning Homer passes the Scientist)

 Homer: (Backs up) NEEEEERRRD!

[Ideas for Houses (Get Ready to Hate Me)]

I don't think that Scarezones are given dialogue to work with, that a lot of it is improvised. But I can still imagine interactions between characters!

 -(Scenario: Reaper confronts Ghostface)

 Reaper: A copy-cat killer. Get your own shtick.

 Ghostface: Yeah, right. You look like you just left a STAB-themed paintball match.

-(The Entity and Scary Terry meet)

 Entity: Looks like Hollywood is running out of ideas./This reboot looks terrible!

-(Robbie Rotten meets Black Hat)

 Robbie: So, I see you haven't written me back yet.

 Black Hat: I've been making rewrites to your plans. If you want to see them, you'll have to pay the fees.

 Robbie: At YOUR prices?... Well, maybe.

-(Mayor VS... well, Everyone except the priest and villagers)

 Mayor: WITCHES, ALL OF YOU! YOU WILL ALL ROT IN HELL!

-(Black Hat meets Murdoc)

 Black Hat: So, I hear you know of an enemy of a certain group of superheroes...

 Murdoc: Eh, Ace? That wanker couldn't beat up that bag head you call an assistant!

 Black Hat: Wow, that's a low opinion on your subordinate.

-(A Burning Fireman talks to The Priest)

 Fireman: What's with all this? All this monsters? Why am I in so much pain, father?

 Priest: There's only one explanation, and you're not going to like it. We must be in Hell.

-(Murdoc and Lord Eldritch are watching the TLT laptop)

 Murdoc: Clearly, this sap has no talent.

 Eldritch: SHUT YOUR MOUTH!.. I like it.

-(Joker Minion vs Burning Fireman)

 Minion: Well, looks like some men just want to watch the world burn!

 Fireman: Oh, shut up.

-(This one is a bit less dialogue heavy. The Toons follow Robbie Rotten around, worshiping him.)

-(Stu Macher or Billy Loomis are giving a lecture about The Rules to a group of D-Class personnel. The Entity watches from behind a crate)

 Stu/Billy: There are certain rules that one must abide by to successfully survive a horror movie. One, don't have sex. Two, don't drink or do drugs. Three, Don't go into a room and say "I'll be back," because you won't.

 Entity: What if the Killer murders people in their dreams?

 Stu/Billy: Well, we're all doomed then... oh, S--T!

 

Props that should be in the warehouse?

• Some of Flug's more portable creations.
• Throughout the warehouse is graffiti of Billy's Drawings from Deathly Draw.
• A bunch of unopened Ghostface costumes for Scream. After all, anyone can be behind that mask. They're sold at every five and dime in the state.
• Some vintage action figures and a power glove for Adult Swim's Funhouse of Horrors.
• The Gallows scaffolding and some of the facade from Torches and Pitchforks.
• Some of the fire safety equipment from Blazing Inferno. Separate from the actual fire extinguishers for obvious reasons.
• Recreations of NoES series costumes on a clothing rack, next to the New Nightmare script and a clapper board.

A question for DocNiktMarr if you had a scarezone that is based off of your haunted house ideas and scarezone ideas how would you treat it?

 

Well, if it was based off of my scarezone ideas, it'd be kinda redundant. I assume you mean in the style of Altars of Horror/The Harvest/Crossing Over The Mindfield?

 

Well, it'd need to be a location where a crossover is somewhat feasible. I guess that The Harvest's barn is supposed to be a Cabin In The Woods type thing? (Also, I never watched that movie. Probably should. Sounds interesting.) So I'd make it so that SOMETHING explains the presence of the monsters and villains. Your idea of a warehouse is a good example: the props could be the real deal, and the characters were drawn there. But I honestly don't know what an example of my "House Representation" scarezone would be. So I'm just going to take the idea of The Harvest and work with that.

SCARACTERS and props:

• WASTED: Hell of a Drug: The Dealer, Bug Junkie, and Pig Cop. In the scarezone are some of the containers used to make the drug. (The Garage was supposed to be like the lab.)
• GAME OVER: Borderlands Psycho, ZAmN Chainsaw Maniac, and Skorpion. Some busted consoles and weapons (a BFG, a Buzz Axe, and an Ice Hammer) are along the wall.
• DYSTOPIC: Three Soldiers. Propaganda posters are hung on the walls.
• Gorillaz: Murdoc, The Boogieman, and a Zombie Gorilla. The Band's instruments and posters are hung on the wall, and some of Murdoc's plastic beach trash is near the walkway.
• CHRISTMAS CREEP: Fouettard's Revenge: Fouettard, a Dark Elf, and Krampus. There are some crates of Christmas decorations and presents, some of the elves' tools and chains are hung on the walls, and there is a rotten can of Fouettard's meat on one of the crates.
• DEANIMATION: Adler Caricature, the "Mickey" (Probably an older man in a suit), and the drunk clown. Posters for Adler's movies are hung, and there is an animator's desk with a partially completed frame.
• Rick And Morty: PetRICKfied: Rick, Morty, Scary Terry, and a gromfomite. Many of Rick's tools and inventions are in the scarezone.
• Monster Music: Dracula, a Transylvanian, and Zombie Micheal Jackson. Vinyl covers for The Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, The Rocky Horror Picture score, and Thriller are hung, and there is a record player in a corner.
• Uncle Sam's Mythical Monstery Tour: Uncle Sam Aine, the Jersey Devil, and a Wendigo. Posters for Uncle Sam Aine are hung, and some costumes are displayed.
• Y2K: New Fear's Eve: A survivalist and two EMP Drones. The scientist's tools are abandoned near the walkway, and there is a string of Christmas lights that are stored on the wall, occasionally flickering despite not being plugged in.
• TERRORLOCK MOUNTAIN: A scientist, a guard, and an elite guard. Some workplace "motivational" posters are hung up, guns are stored in a rack next to some armor, some of the mercenary's weapons are in a box.
• TOKYO YOKAI: Kichasuka Ona, Ohaguro Bettari, and the Kitsune Bouncer. Teke Teke's scythe, an oil lantern, and some shrine decor are in the scarezone.
• The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror: Shinning Homer, Nightmare Willie, and Stalker Ned. ToH posters and frames are on the walls, and on the floor are a Krusty Doll, the Feelin' fine typewriter, and the inanimate carbon rod-powered remote, and Bart Raven is in the rafters.
• ARKHAM ASYLUM: Joker, Scarecrow, and Hugo Strange. The Supervillains' various weapons are on the walls, some of their paraphernalia are on cases or tables (Joker's Dentist gear and mirror, Smilex, Fear Gas, Mad Hatter's Tea set, Ivy's Vines), and lodged in the wall are several batarangs.
• Ex-Heroes: MidKnight, Controlled Truck Driver Ex, and Stealth. Components to the Cerberus armor, The Dragon's old costume, and some scavenged materials are in crates.
• Hotel California: The demonic hostess, captain, and a lost soul. The props are all Tiffany decor.
• Urban Legends: POLYBIUS: The Nightmare aliens. The arcade cabinet is against the wall, flickering.
• THE REDACTED CONSPIRACY: 3 Men in Black. The missing posters are posted outside the structure.
• A HALLOWEEN CAROL: Victor Chantz, Halloween Past, and Halloween Future. The Church decorations are about, and the wall contains his axe, chainsaw and knife.
• The Most Dangerous Game: Zaroff's Island: Rainsford, Zaroff and Ivan. Zaroff's gun and trophies are displayed on the wall.
• DEATHLY DRAW: Billy, Lord Eldritch, and a skeletal native. School books filled with doodles are scattered throughout.
• DRUIDS AND DEMONS: The Rogue, the Necromancer, and the Lich. A table has a game book and some dice, and fantasy weapons are hung on the wall. In the corner, is a mimic.
• The Death Aquatic: Shark, Starfish, and a generic Hybrid. Aquarium maintenance tools are placed about.
• RICK AND MORTY: THE CITADEL: Hostage Taker Rick, Big Morty, and Bootleg Chemist Rick. Flyers from around the Citadel are hung on the walls, and portal guns and laser guns are laying about the room.
• Bibliophobia: Dracula, Death, and Zombie Yorrick. Books are splayed about.
• EDDSWORLD: Vampire Matt, Red Leader Tord, and Possessed Tom. Various props from around Edd's house are scattered.

• Night of the Living Tombstone: Two Skeletons and Freddy Fazbear. TLT Posters are scattered on the walls.
• MULTIVERSAL BREAKOUT: King Radical, Reaper, and Napalm. Gear from DESPAIR HORIZON (Warden's Guns, Restraints, Surgical Tools) line the barn. (Side note: Since the house was based on Twilight's Multiversal Breakout idea, I kept the name, Multiversal Breakout. DESPAIR HORIZON is simply the name of the ship, which is an understandable confusion. I mean, there are people who think that Tim Allen's show about the handyman is called Tool Time, but that's just the show Tim Taylor hosts on Home Improvement.)
• MONSTER MUSIC: Volume 2: Succubus, Werewolf, Freddy Silhouette. The album covers, some Chinese Takeout from Lee Ho Fook (Heheh), The Man With The Golden Eyeball, ruined Halloween Party decor, and some of the creepier "Somebody's Watching Me" props are all over the barn, and the Fresh Prince graffiti is on the wall.
• YouTube Dead: AntiSepticEye, Mrs. Johnson, and Darkiplier (More active than in the house). Recording equipment is on a wall.

• FITE NITE: Championship Bout: Three wrestlers, each with chainsaws. They will be as hostile to each other as they are to guests. Posters and the laceration glove are on the walls.
• THE HALLOWEEN STORE: Toy Gorey: Princess, Pirate, and Ghost psychos. Wares from the toy store and Halloween popup store are on the wall, and some Halloween animatronics are on display besides the walkway.
• CC: Seasonal Snuff: Nick Ruprecht (Chainsaw and Santa Mask), Santa Claws, and Slay Ride Horse. In the barn are banners from the films, and filming equipment.
• THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT: Stiltwalker Stingy Jack, the Devil, and a Maize Scarecrow. There are a lot of pumpkins in the barn.

• Gallery of Lost Souls: The Scream, Van Gough, and The Plague Hag. Various artworks are just in a box.
• Sandman's Lair: Sandman, a normal Minion, and a Clown Minion. Contents from a kid's room is scattered on the walls.
• Uranium Studios: The Atomic Apparition, The She-Beast (monster form), and a Weird Woods creature. Movie posters and props are on the wall.

• Gangsterland Cutthroats: Two farmhands and a Gangster. A whiskey still's parts are on the wall.
• The Year of Fear: April Fools Jester, New Years Vampire, and Red Wedding Incubus. Various props are related to one of the days mentioned - a sundress in a box would be marked for May Day, a yearbook was signed on the last day of school, and some memorabilia from the big Thanksgiving game.
• COMICFURY: Artistic Rage Unleashed: Ariane Eldar, Mr. Hyde, and Basilisk. Various books with ComicFury comic covers would be scattered about.

• Titans of Terror: Apocalypse: Micheal Myers, General Freddy, Rotting Jason. Items from the Leatherface cult are stored in the barn.
• GAME OVER: CONTINUE?: Trevor, ReDead, and Headcrab Zombie. Various weapons from the games, a barrel, and a dead headcrab are in the barn.
• GAME OVER ARCADE: Donkey Kong, M. Bison, Rick Taylor. Various Arcade game posters are on the walls, and there's another barrel - shame DK can't throw it.

• WINDY GULCH: Fresh Meat: The Gravedigger, The Bartender, and The Butcher. The various rules are on signs scattered about the scarezone.

• STARLAB 51: Stunstick Guard and Two Scientists. Various tools from around the ship are in the barn. (Even though, as it turns out, the scarezone wasn't actually at a barn, and just had a bunch of pillars... I feel let down.)

This is pretty good right there i liked the idea of a insane car salesman killer also the Crossing over the Mindfield scarezone will have some scaracters from my haunted house ideas and your haunted house ideas. The scarezone will have a prop warehouse feeling and almost at the end of the scarezone is Mr.Mindfield sitting on a throne while lantern minions are lingering around the throne.

 

So, Crossing Over the Mindfield is your proposed event's version of Altars of Horror/The Harvest? Cool, also, I was just thinking of the representation that my house ideas would have in such a scarezone.

Well that's okay but still i love the idea of a haunted house focusing on one scp. By the way what do you think of this idea in space there is a space prison/asylum that holds villains from movies, tv shows, video games, comic books, fan fiction, novels, web comics,web videos and anime. However one day a breakout occured and all hell breaks loose. Can you survive the breakout?

 

Sounds a bit too ambitious and crazy, and a bit like the Pantheon house.

 

But the idea of this huge monster crossover where all sorts of villains are out to get you sounds pretty cool. Maybe it could be explained like LEGO Batman Movie's Phantom Zone, that there's a force imprisoning various supervillains and trapping them in what is supposed to be a personal hell. But even said force can't control the sheer amount of evil. All Hell breaks loose, and you enter a world where reality is a myth and evil takes control.

 

...So, what villains do you say belong in the space hyperprison? I could list several (But no anime. I have very little experience in that field). To be fair, it sounds like a crazy fan fiction. But to be honest, that's part of the charm.

1 hour ago, themazethinker said:

OH sorry i thought it meant it was for a different house.

 

So did I.

 

Is that SCP in the pantheon?

 

Actually, upon research, the SCP Foundation is, in and of itself, a member of the pantheon. So it's reasonable, I guess.

[Haunted House and Scare Zone ideas]

An interesting idea. It would probably be better than Uni's original run of Fear, from what I hear...

 

But I had another Scarezone idea.

 

CRAZY CAL'S USED CARS

 

Crazy Cal has gone CRAZY! He's slashing prices on his wares! Prices so low on cars that are almost straight-out-the-factory? He's gotta be insane!

The people of Carey have gotten use to hearing ads of this type on their airwaves and late-night television. It's a tired gimmick being used to sell cars that probably won't be that good of an investment in the long run. But recently, Cal's been having a rough time. His wife left him for some daytime news anchor, his dog was hit by a bus, and his therapist killed herself. But that's not going to stop Cal! In fact, he just got a whole group of hired hands, straight from Shadybrook, and with their help, prices won't be the only thing they're slashing...

 

Crazy Cal's Used Cars (stylized in an obnoxious bright font for promotional purposes) is a scarezone that I came up with reading the Insane Proprietor page on TV Tropes. Set in a car lot, the area is filled with cars in heavy states of disrepair, with some possibly on fire. Trashy country music plays, and Cal sometimes gets on the intercom to make promotions and threaten guests.

 

SCARACTERS:

• Crazy Cal: One of those gimmicky Honest John's types, wearing a ridiculous suit and hat that may or may not match. He walks around with a chainsaw, and may mouth the prerecorded messages.
• Salesmen: Escaped asylum patients wearing mixtures of casual garb, straightjackets, and business suits. They try to sell you on the cars in the lot, and will try to tear you apart when you refuse. They carry a variety of weapons.
• Victims: Kidnapped customers who are bound by their hands and may be trapped in the cars. They try to escape, but a salesman will always catch them to "further discuss the deal".

Well i know that but i would like to imagine that Rick would basically be absent and be home babysitting with Morty however when he heard that Universal Studios is under attack he decides to go to Universal Studios by using the portal gun and the reason why Rick is at home babysitting Morty before Universal was under attack was that he would rather have adventures with Morty rather than waste time on theme parks.

Also by the way what do you think of the two scene ideas for my pantheon haunted house idea?

 

Good explanation.

 

As for the pantheon house: Again, I don't really think a house should be set in the Trope Pantheon. It's a licensing nightmare. Admittedly, it's an awesome idea, but at the same time, it's crazy to expect a house based on a fan work with over 150 licenses. And as I said, I don't think the tropers would appreciate a character made for the express purpose of taking over the trope pantheon. (See: Villain Sue). HOWEVER: It could be done. Choose licensable characters for each house, keep the trope part a bit vague (the general pubic doesn't know TV Tropes), and make some twisted corruptions for each house. As for your two ideas, good ideas. Any other idea for house corruptions? (Food could be taken over by the Flesh Eaters, Shape could be turned into Thing-esque monstrosities, and Health and Diseases could be taken over by a number of fictional plagues.) Again, I love an idea allowing for a mix of monsters.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING TOMBSTONE

 

Yoav Landau is an internet celebrity and musician who is famous for remixes and original video game music. He was scheduled to play at Horror Nights (to the dismay of the people who believe that FNaF is overdone), but as the event started, Yoav suddenly vanished. The guards followed the clues, only to find a twisted backstage filled with monsters from his music. Follow them if you dare, but be careful....

 

(Just a note, I was going to work on the first Eddsworld House first, but the first parts were deleted and TLT released a freaky new video. So huh.)

 

ROOMS:

• Facade: A Universal Concert Stage decorated to feature posters for The Living Tombstone. Guest walk past the seats, onto the stage, and into a backstage. Behind where Yoav would perform is a screen, showing music videos for his songs.
• We Are Number One: Enter the backstage, where Bobby, Tobby and Flobby hind behind doors and cause mischief. A guard demands to be let out of a cage, and Robbie dramatically tells guests of the bad things yet to come. The lighting is a dark purple.
• Five Nights At Freddy's: The Nightguard's room. The security monitors flash to the music. The guard panics as Bonnie and Chica bang on the windows. Freddy will emerge from a Boohole. In the transition, Foxy rushes guests from Pirate Cove.
• It's Been So Long: Guests enter a hallway full of missing children posters. Certain posters have tears light up on their pictures. A crying mother asks guests about her son, and Purple Guy attacks from a boohole.
• Die In A FIre: The decrepit halls of Freddy's. Lights flash, showing the vandalism on the walls, and a guard hacks up an animatronic. Another guard attacks guests with an axe.
• I've Got No Time: In the transitions to, an animatronic hides in the kid's hallway. In the bedroom, the kid tries to ward off Nightmare Freddy, and Nightmare Foxy lunges from the closet. The transition from is that circular light show.
• I Can't Fix You: After passing a cutout archway of the animatronics depicted in the thumbnail artstyle, guests enter an inferno. Silhouettes of Circus Baby, Funtime Freddy and Foxy, and Ballora attack.
• Spooky Scary Skeletons: Guests exit the inferno and enter a raveyard. Strobes, the tombstones have those light bar things that have the bars rise and lower in the beat of the music... any idea on what those are?... anyways, skeletons dance, a few turn hostile.
• Jumping Devil: Enter a suburban neighborhood where demons are attacking humans. Guests then enter a house, where a demon taps on the window and a human shows his "scary face". Exit the house, where the humans attack. One character wields a chainsaw, another bangs on a trashcan.
• Yumbo Bear: Guests venture into the woods, where a boy searches for his teddy bear. Yumbo will jump down from a tree.
• Gameboy Advanced SP Blue Edition: Guests enter Julian and Ding Dong's Apartment. Julian is a corpse in a casket, and Ding Dong plays a grieving mother. Oney will rush guests from a boohole, his skin rotten and green.
• Globglogabalag (I'm not spelling that right. I won't.): Guests enter a library, where disturbing bookworms (like, librarian tapeworms) hide behind the shelves and lunge at guests.
• Way too long. (Some rooms would have to be cut. Spooky Scary Skeletons has to be kept. REGARDLESS. Kid's show songs (We Are Number 1 and Globglogalalalalala) are probably among the first to get cuts.)
• Bendy and The Ink Machine: Guests enter a sepia hallway covered in doorways to darkened rooms. Bendy cutouts will lunge out at guests. At the end, guests enter a room with the Ink Machine. Water drips onto guests from above, and Inked Bendy lunges at guests.
• Don't Tattle on Me: Guests enter the darkened basement, with several Tattletails performing the Mother Banishment ritual. The string lights light up in time to the music. At the end, a Mama puppet lunges at guests.
• It's Raining Men: The corpses of Reinhardt, Soldier: 76, Torbjorn, and Winston lie in a dark hallway. Reaper does the Death Blossom dance, and puffs of air hit guests to simulate bullets.
• No Mercy: A dead Mercy is propped against a wall in the No Mercy pose. Mei and Widowmaker rush guests.
• My Ordinary Life: The Trio are sitting in the room, stoned off of their butts. The TV plays the music video, and the air is heavy with marijuana scent. A gnome will attack from behind the TV.
• Ghostbusters: The Ecto-1 is on fire. Gozer, Zuul, and Vinz Clortho attack guests.
• Fun Dead theme: Two zombies are behind velvet rope, minding their business. The theme from Fun Dead plays, softly... until Edd, Matt and Tom crash into the wall, kicking up a cloud of dust and blaring the music from their radio.
• Squid Melody: Guests enter a messy art studio. The various colors splashed on the wall flash in time with the music (BLUE), and a mad Inkling-inspired artist attacks guests with a bloody cleaver for their red paint. Guests then enter a revolving tunnel made to look like splashing paint and blood. (RED)
• Finale: Yoav is tied up to a chair in a dark room with two TVs. Both TVs play a music video from his discography, volume cranked up. A skeleton, Freddy Fazbear, Reaper, and Tom are revealed to be his captors. (I just came up with that ending.)

Shuffling the room layout is fine.

Thanks! I try my best to create a backstory but hey at least i tried there. (also that's a good guess there but however the reason he got those powers is that he learned about dark arts from a book about dark arts when he disguised himself as a human sorry to disappoint you.)

 

That's also a cool idea.

Well i actually have a backstory for him *ahem* Many years ago there two entities that would give out dreams and nightmares one is the dream creature and the other is the nightmare creature however one day the nightmare creature had new powers and were ready try the new powers out. However once he tried those new powers onto the fateful kids and adults the dream creature realized that he was way too overpowered, infuriated and angry at this the dream creature locked him away in a orb never to be seen again. (Or is he?)

 

An interesting story, but usage of the phrase overpowered... kinda kills it.

 

Maybe he committed a sacrifice for the powers, a horrific sacrifice, and instead of seeing that he was overpowered, the Dream Creature saw Nightmare Creature was going mad with power. Gets the same message across, but without sounding like you're gushing about a new character in a video game. Other than that, a decent backstory.

and also i got a haunted house idea in which all of the characters from every adult swim show come to Universal Studios to come pitch an idea for the event when they can't think of a good idea for a haunted house they found a script and concept art of an unfinished haunted house attraction maze (and that script is created by Marty Mindfield my fan made hhn icon) and surprisingly Universal approved of it despite the cliches it had however when Marty is possessed by Fear at the warehouse he begins rampaging through Universal Studios by making the haunted house attractions come to life along with the now finished haunted house attraction that was originally unfinished can you (the guests) escape this "too real" haunted house attraction along with the other adult swim characters?

 

...So, who is Mr. Mindfield?

[Ideas for Houses (Get Ready to Hate Me)]

The Eddsworld Houses... geez, those ideas were, what, a year back? Realistically, it'd never happen. Edd isn't with us any more, Tom distanced himself from the franchise, Mrs. Gould didn't do anything, and the comics helmed by Matt haven't been uploading recently. I'm starting to think that the property may be "cursed", as much as I believe in curses.

 

The Night Of The Living Tombstone is more likely, but still a stretch.

 

I'll do these later. Eddsworld, Eddsworld Presents FunDead, Eddsworld Presents The Wrath of Zanta Claws, and Night Of The Living Tombstone... may be considered "bad" ideas, but just because I don't think the Horror Night Nightmares forum would appreciate me saying that a house based on various YouTubers would be interesting, doesn't mean that I don't want a house with appearances by Clown Shark, Hyper Fangirl, and AntiSepticEye.

 

As for your house ideas:

1. The Adult Swim house does kinda sound interesting. Now, I don't watch that much Adult Swim, but I don't think that Rick Sanchez, The Mad Scientist and the Robot Chicken, The Warden, etc need an outside force to create a nightmarish environment. Heck, make the house about Adult Swim characters trying to pitch their shows to become Horror Night Houses, but the disagreements go violent on their own and guests have to walk through the fight to get the house.
2. The Nightmare Creature... Personally, I have several things I want to make that I would license to Horror Nights if they were to ask (A Superhero universe where monsters are fairly common, a comic about a group of mercenaries that go up against a cult of ravagers and then a necromancer, a story of a pair of cops where one just so happens to be a vampire), but I don't post the ideas for the haunted house spinoff because that feels a bit too egotistical. ...Oh, you mean OC as in Terrorlock, Darrin Adler, and The Sandman, don't you? Well, I guess the idea of many universes changing to fit the whim of a character is a pretty cool idea for a house (In fact, another bad idea is a sequel to Titans of Terror, where the Superfan watching slasher films and his parents in the living room watching Christmas specials causes dreams where the monsters end up creating some Christmas Chaos), but TV Tropes' Pantheon consists of a heck of a lot of licenses to obtain, I doubt the tropers would be accepting of a random Original Generation just being capable of warping it, and to be honest, Nightmare Creature sounds a bit generic. As a fix: 1. Instead of specifically the TV Tropes Pantheon, change Nightmare Creature's domain to be something like the nightmares of a pop culture enthusiast or a stressed-out Copyright lawyer. 2. Give him a form of backstory. This is optional, though. I mean, Jack Schmitt was a child murderer who was killed and locked in a box, Albert Caine gradually became obsessed with Death, Bloody Mary was a psychiatrist who gradually became obsessed with fear, Paulo Ravinski was always a twisted psycho who loved killing things, and Julian Browning was a stickler for rules who was killed by a freak accident in his own theater. The exception is Elsa Strict, she's why I say it's optional. But alongside a Who, give us a Why and a How. 3. Give Nightmare Creature something... unique! Make him more than just a generic shadow that escaped the wall! For example, a face visible in the mist, a preferred method of killing, some murder-assisting superpowers, a twisted lair, and/or a voice that sends shivers down your spine. But a humanoid bundle of fog is pretty boring as the main antagonist. You need to spruce him up. I mean, what would Freddy Krueger be if he was just a gardener wearing a burlap sack stabbing people with a steak knife? Would Micheal Myers be as notable if he wore flannel, had a goatee, glasses and a fade cut and calmly talked about the tastes of wine as he killed people? Would Ghostface masks have become so iconic if the Killer was just some guy with no real motive that made generic Bond One-Liners?

I feel like I need a paragraph break to continue to rant.

 

I'm trying not to be too harsh, I just want you to know that. I'm just trying to give some pointers, but I'm not known for politeness.

 

I'm almost done. What I'm trying to say is, just saying that the villain is a humanoid mass of fog called the Nightmare Creature isn't the best idea ONLY because it sounds like something that's been done to death. But don't just crumple up the idea and throw it in the waste bin. Take what you like about the character, and flesh him out until you have something unique. Because that's how innovation happens - The LEGO Movie took cliche films meant to market toys and turned it on its head, creating a deep, yet hilarious experience. Cuphead, through hard work and dedication, became famous for its killer difficulty, swinging music, and retro, lovingly-animated artstyle, despite belonging to a genre that rarely gets attention nowadays. And if Disney hand't decided to push the boundaries and make Snow White, how long would animation be stuck as simply the genre of shorts? And even if you start as a generic example, you can still become the icon. Deadpool was just another Liefeldian creation until he got healing powers and awareness of the fourth wall, Pirates of the Caribbean could have been another pirate movie if not for Johnny Depp and whoever is costar is, and the LEGO Games would just be an oddity in licensed game history if they didn't have their solid gameplay and distinct quirky humor.

 

The point is, just because it's not the strongest idea, doesn't mean you shouldn't plan out Nightmare Creature's house. All the idea needs is a little love and some brainstorming.

Well actually some of the goosebumps characters could fit in one of the scenes like the graveyard ghouls could be in the graveyard scene, slappy could be in the alleyway sitting on some crates talking back to the guests, the abominable snowman could be in the orc horde street as a little cameo and by that i mean him messing with the lamp pole in the orc filled street (kind of like how in the book cover when he does that)

 

All good ideas.

[Ideas for Houses (Get Ready to Hate Me)]

Confession time: I'm not much of a bookworm either. I mean, yeah a good book is great, but I'm not an avid attendant to the local library. The reason I suggested Bibliophobia is the fact that the concept alone should be awesome. Imagine a city overrun by the likes of Pennywise, Dracula, Orcs and Zombies, and Moriarty? It'd be an awesome madhouse. But there are more qualified people to suggest the monsters and scares.

 

But meh, I've never been to any haunted houses. (Ignoring the haunted hayride I went to when I was still in highschool and still getting out of the too-long scaredy cat phase.) No experience never stopped me before.

 

BIBLIOPHOBIA

 

Yeah, bookstores aren't as popular as they once were. But Burt's Used Books is a respected establishment in Carey, even if the day is uneventful. And when no one needs the clerks' help, they're free to enjoy a nice book themselves. It's a nice, peaceful nook independent of the rest of Carey's reputation.

Until one day. While checking out an odd tome dropped off, a cashier read off a sequence of words that seemed to have no importance. This line of mumbo jumbo was really a dark spell that could bring forth characters from any book from within the building. The more books in the vicinity, the more power the spell has. And now Carey is in for a mess that it has not prepared for.

 

There would be more rooms than listed here. These are just some that I would like to see.

Some ROOMS:

• Facade: The back of Burt's Used Books.
• Burt's Used Books: The Bookstore seems to be larger than it should be. The bookshelves wind about, housing torched books. Some books are floating in the air. DEATH lurks around a corner, and an Orangutan sits at the register.
• Orc Horde: Orcs have taken over the street.
• Italian Restaurant: Vampires have taken over. Dracula, a Strain bloodsucker, and Barlow (I'm looking to TV Tropes for names) prey on guests, with Dracula attacking a diner. Guests head into the bathroom, where Edward Cullen is staked and decapitated and Van Helsing leaps from a stall. (Original Idea: When guests get to the bathroom, independent of the vampires was a dummy of a little kid washing his hands in a urinal.) Guests then exit through a large hole in the wall.
• The Sewers: Immediately connected to the Bathroom. Upon entering, guests are attacked by the Phantom of the Opera. They then walk past the scene of the Loser's Club fighting Pennywise, who will jump after passing his little alcove. Guests then witness a dropped corpse onto a pile of corpses, and are ambushed by Sweeney Todd. Finally, guests pass by Montresor bricking up Fortunato.
• The Alleyway: Upon exiting the sewers, Moriarty will attack guests. As they cross the alley, Christine will lunge at them.
• Merchant's Street: a street full of storefronts. Various miscellaneous villains attack guests or loot the stores (EX: Count Olaf with his knife attacks guests, a knockoff of the Grinch loots a store that's already got its Christmas display up, Patrick Bateman bursts out of a door with a chainsaw he was previously using on a cashier, Lord MacBeth sees the guests as spies and traitors and proceeds to try to execute them with a sword, and the Big Bad Wolf (a puppet from Werewolf In London in granny's clothing) snarls at guests while feasting on a bystander's corpse).
• Graveyard: Zombies. With some Undead Hunters, of course, say, Stealth and St. George, Todd Wainio, T Sean Collins, and that rollerblade idiot with a meat cleaver on a hockey stick. Notably, out of the five I mentioned, Idiot meets his canonical fate. At the end, guests enter a crypt.
• Catacombs: The catacombs are lit by torches, and filled with zombie versions of famously deceased characters. Romeo and Juliet, Yorick (without his skull, just a flap of skin for a head), James and Lily Potter, Lennie Small, and The Old Man from The Telltale Heart are reanimated, trying to cling to their former lives but being driven insane by their current status of unlife. (Lennie could be cradling a recent victim. I feel bad about making him a monster in a haunted house.)
• Finale: Guests exit the catacombs and head towards a skyline. Along the way, they are attacked by Ghouls and Deep Ones. Oh, and towering over the Skyline is Cthulhu. Once in the skyline, they given a final scare by three of the staff's favorite monsters.

Now, is this perfect? Nope. Personally, there are a lot more bogeymen that I would have liked to have included. Voldemort, Sauron, some Goosebumps characters, to name a few. But I didn't know how to include them.

Not to be rude or anything but It would be cool if you describe the scenes from the Rick and Morty citadel idea you had.

 

 

...okay.

 

RICK AND MORTY: THE CITADEL

 

After a renegade TerrorRick from C-137 somehow managed to single-handed destroy the government of the Citadel of Ricks, the survivors of the carnage attempted to rebuild the city. But between a renegade factory Rick, corrupt Morties, and an upcoming election in the city, the city looks to be in for a hard time.

 

ROOMS:

• Facade: The Facade is a replica of the Citadel's skyline, with the title placed over and Rick and Morty's faces gracing the show title. Music includes the Rick and Morty theme, Goodbye Moonmen (and the TLT remix), The Citadel theme from The Rick-Lantis Mixup (As you should obviously know, the basis of the house), and various fake commercial audio.
• The Museum: Guests enter a series of rooms based on the history of the Citadel, narrated by one of Hollywood's famous voices under duress of a shot to the head. Guests go through recreations of the fall of the Citadel, including the trial of Rick C-137 from Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind, Rick in prison, and Rick crashing the Citadel into his Galactic Federation Prison. Evil Rick, some freakish aliens, and a Rick Guard using Hammer Morty as a weapon appear in the respective room. At the end, guests pass a recording booth where the celebrity narrator is shot by a Rick, and stumbles out of the booth before dying.
• City Life: Just some scenes from around the city, with hostile ricks and morties peppered throughout. Scenes like a commute, a cafe, the Morty school.
• Morty Riot: Guests go through a Morty riot. A particular rioter will attack guests, and Cop Morty will threaten guests with a taser.
• The Campaign: Basically, just the debate.
• The Bust: The Portal Fluid bust. Bootleg Chemist Rick meets his end, and the Mortytown Locos stalk you through the rest of the building. Includes the Crib Morty stabbing Cop Rick, before reaching out to stab guests.
• Simple Rick Factory: Guests pass by the Simple Rick Flavor Core, where outside, J-22 kills the Regional Manager Rick. You then enter the Flavor Core, where J-22 makes his demands and Simple Rick gets blended. Finally, guests exit the building, only to get shot by Rick D. Sanchez III.
• The Creepy Morty: A shootout between Cop Morty, Cop Rick, Big Morty and his henchmen. Cowboy Morty will jump out in a panic. Then guests pass by the scene where Cop Rick is forced to shoot cop Morty. However, Cop Morty tries to shoot the guests, only for Cop Rick to shoot Cop Morty instead.
• The Assassination: Campaign Morty is meeting the crowd. This distracts guests from Campaign Manager Morty.
• Finale: For The Damaged Coda plays as Evil Morty makes his speech to the Higher-Ups. The actual scene involves Evil Morty looking down on guests as they walk past the corpses of the secret council of Ricks, and two Guard Ricks attack guests. Guests then enter Space, where the dead Ricks and Morties float. Some are actors, and will lunge at guests.

I'm just going to post an idea without pitching it with others first.

 

The Death Aquatic

 

For years, people have been mystified by the concept of fish-human hybrids. Mermaids, the Gill-Man, that guy from the Universal movie that's a better stageshow than an actual movie... Well now, a lab has opened an aquarium showcasing what they claim are successful hybrids, so what can go wrong? Obviously the creatures break out, kill people, and eat the corpses. What, you didn't see that coming? C'mon, this is Halloween Horror Nights, not Disneyworld!

 

The Death Aquatic is a house I came up with while watching gifs of starfish moving. (I may have a new fear, by the way.) Take a bunch of sea creatures, give them a humanoid shape but keep the creepy features, and set it in a building full of those blue lights that make certain colors glow.

 

ROOMS:

• Facade: A generic aquarium facade. Some cheery, ocean-related music plays (Under the Sea and Somewhere Beyond the Sea, for example).
• Past Fantasies: A small exhibit showcasing past depictions of mermaids and other hybrids, including a feegee mermaid and a Girl in A Fishbowl illusion. Except the girl is ripped in half, and every so often you can see a monster run behind it. The lights flicker while a voice hypes up the man-made wonders of nature you're about to witness. A scratched guide will tell you to turn back.
• Swimming With Sharks: Guests walk past a huge tank full of water, where the blood of a diver murks up the view from inside. Another diver will pound against the glass, only to be pulled away.
• The Aquarium: The main part of the haunt. The creatures have busted out of their tanks, which occasionally spray guests. Caretakers hide from the hybrids, who also hide wherever they can or roam the halls. This is where the blue lighting comes in, and the music becomes frantic and synth-based.
• The Glass Tunnel: A place where the floors, walls, and ceiling allow you to see the shark hybrids. Cracks in the glass spray guests, and some shark hybrids try to get to you. At the end of the tunnel, one will jump out at guests.
• Finale: Guests enter the busted remains of one freaking huge tank. Looming over them is a giant hybrid (Either a grotesque fish creature, or a giant tentacled creature with tentacles over its mouth... I don't know if the Cthulhu reference should be made.) Hiding in the tank are some of the freakier hybrids from earlier.

HYBRIDS:

• Generic Hybrids: Basically, just fish creatures. The fins have turned into webbed claws, their teeth are small but pointed, and their eyes are fisheyed.
• Piranha: Smaller Claws, Larger Teeth.
• Shark: Larger with more teeth. Not as clawey. Black eyes.
• Starfish: A freaky bumpy mass with some wicked looking tendrils on each arm. Multiple appear at once, and often feasting on a guard. If you know how starfish eat... ew.
• Starfish babies: A single actor is covered in smaller starfish, some with freakishly long arms from where they were ripped off. They are eating them alive, with scars from where they pried the starfish off.
• Squid: Tentacled monsters. The costume could make them a mass of tentacles with a squid head (think Octodad if he were a writhing mess) or actually give them a humanoid body shape.
• Lobster and Crab: Both have pincers, the lobster is taller and has more mass, while the crab is shorter.
• Angler Fish: They have huge mouths, with huge teeth, and they also have the lure.
• Many more. If someone at HHN decides to do this, they should research the freakier sea life.

GHOSTBUSTERS: Spirits of New York

New York City, home to some weirdos. But we're not just including the people living in the city in that statement, we're including those who are stuck to NYC even in the afterlife. An attack on the Ghostbuster's containment unit has caused all the ghosts residing inside of it to break out, leaving New York City in a state of chaos. And sure, you might be able to get a photo with everyone's favorite class 5 full-roaming vapour, but you'll have to avoid the more malicious spirits and demigods in your attempts.

 

GHOSTBUSTERS: Spirits of New York would be a scarezone set in the New York area, utilizing the firehouse (which I hear is a replica of the actual Ghostbusters Firehouse) as a setpiece. Ghosts and other creatures from the franchise (including cartoons and reboot) roam the streets of NY, scaring guests and causing mayhem. One entrance features a parked Ecto-1, and one of the buildings will feature an inflatable upper body of the Staypuft Marshmallow Man, which will be "knocked down" by a lightshow replicating crossing the streams. Slimer will be projected onto the lower levels of the buildings, being Slimer. The Music consists of scores from the films.

 

SCARACTERS:

• Gozer
• Dana as Zuul
• Lois as Vinz Clortho
• Ivo Shandor
• Zombie Cabbie
• Jogger Ghost
• Red Sox Fan Ghost
• Reboot Subway ghost
• Flasher Ghost
• Grundel
• Vigo The Carpathian
• Library Ghost
• Mayhem
• Mummy
• Janosz Poha
• Nanny Poha
• The Peoplebusters
• Scareface
• Scoleri Brothers
• Samhain

TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS

 

The peasants are revolting! ...Well, yes, but to be fair, let's see it from their point of view. The go outside one night and not only is their village in a weird location, but there are odd structures in the background and people in weird manners of dress have invaded, using strange devices. Must be witchcraft! And you know the way God intended us to handle Witches - a rope around their neck and a floor dropping out from under them.

 

TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS is a scarezone where the scaracters think YOU'RE the monster. To be fair, they're mainly just panicked and mislead, but you know how people in hysteria are. As such, you're the target of an angry mob. The area is surrounded with a facade of a village, lights flickering in the windows, and sometimes a fog. Setpieces include a well, just for show, a pyre, with someone's bones still visible, and a gallows. More on that later.

 

SCARACTERS:

• The Angry Mob: Peasant men and women, covered in dirt and crap, carrying torches and farming implements - pitchforks, scythes, sickles, hoes, axes. They tend to listen to their authority figures, and cower in fear or gang up against people using technology - take out your iPhone to influence the scaracters.
• The Mayor: A portly man in finer clothes. Stands on the gallows, calling out a guest to get special treatment from the mob. He tends to point out guests with fancier things, and tends to demand their possessions once all is said and done, for "research". Later in the event, he may start carrying more modern gear - sneakers, watches, a poorly-hidden smartphone - so I guess it's not witchcraft if HE has it?
• The Preacher: A tall, skinny man dressed in the garb of a holy man. Stands outside the steeple, condemning guests to Hell for witchcraft. As the event goes on, he'll also get some words in against the mayor.

EXECUTIONS

Every so often, the Mayor will demand that a witch gets their dues, and a small show will start. The Mayor will demand a that a witch is caught and hanged, and single out a "Guest" (a scaracter with a distinct feature that changes every so often during the night, and every few nights so as to not have actual guests be hassled by scaracters) for the mob to bring to the gallows. The Guest is brought onto the stage, where the preacher asks if he accepts God and whatnot, allowing a member of the mob to prepare him to be hung from a harness when the time comes. The Guest is then hung, and allowed to die. The Mayor uses this as a threat to the others.

As the event goes on, the mayor starts to get greedy - the plant always has some nice article of clothing or interesting gadget, and he always inspects it before having the switch pulled. The Preacher grows resentful to the man, rightly assuming that he's more intent on gaining some form of power over the peasantry with the items he's interested in. This culminates in the final shows, where after the hanging, the Preacher calls out the Mayor's possession of items lifted from guests. The Peasants turn on the Mayor, who is then himself hung, and for the final hours of Halloween Horror Nights, the Scarezone devolves into a madhouse, as the villagers turn on each other.

[Haunted House and Scare Zone ideas]

ENTER SANDMAN

 

The Nightmare is all too real when you enter the Sandman's realm. He and his minions harvest the souls of their kills, while forcing others to wear themselves out, by mixing their garden-variety fears with what should be kind memories, but are instead turned into vile abominations.

 

Enter Sandman is the scarezone dedicated to my Icon idea. The streets are lined with men and women, slaughtered in their beds, and a fog fills the air. The buildings have images of sand blowing across them, and some sand is spread on the ground. The soundtrack includes an instrumental rendition of Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare, the original Chordette's Mr. Sandman, Enter: Sandman, Dreams of Cruelty, and Dark Side, among other songs.

 

SCARACTERS:

• Sandman: Two men playing the icon. One wields the shovel, the other the sickle.
• Sandmen: Sandman's minions. They carry a variety of weapons, and one is a stilt walker. They tend to shush screaming guests.
• Victims: People who are currently living their nightmares. Examples include a man who is out in public without pants (goofy boxers optional, otherwise use tighty-whities), a man covered in snakes, a woman splattered in blood, a woman with all her teeth removed, and a woman with her face fixed in a silent scream. They are all bloody and beaten.
• Corrupted Innocence: Icons of childhood, morphed into vile creatures. Include a Teddy Bear, a birthday clown, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, a superhero, a princess, a fairy godmother, a porcelain doll, and a kindly old grandmother.

[Haunted House and Scare Zone ideas]

Time to do something different:

 

An Icon Idea.

 

The Sandman

 

Some say he was a factory worker who was buried alive after angering the mafia. Others say he was one of the dream demons that gave Freddy Krueger himself his powers. Others still say he is merely a figment of the imagination, albeit one that is common among dying hallucinations. But one thing is for certain: The Sandman is a mythological being you do not want to meet. He often appears in your nightmares, taunting you with your worst fears before manifesting before you and killing you slowly.

 

The Sandman is a rather large man wearing an old, dark green trench coat and matching fedora. His face has been turned into a pile of sand, with holes where the eyes should be. He doesn't talk much, but when he does, he speaks with a loud, raspy voice. Sandman often uses a sickle or a shovel.

 

Necessary IPs would be Nightmare on Elm Street and IT.

 

Icon house would be Sandman's Lair. Sandman would force people to enter a combination of common nightmares.

 

Icon Scarezone would be Enter Sandman.

 

Minions would be similar beings wearing old-timey pajamas.

[Haunted House and Scare Zone ideas]

The Street Divided

 

In his Suburban home, Mr. Jimmy puts up a Kid-Friendly Halloween Display every year. This year, however, parents are avoiding his house, because right across the street is the recently moved-in Johnny Krueger, a 20something-year old fratbro who is throwing a wild Halloween party, with heavy drinking, substance abuse, and a heck of a lot of fake gore. As the night goes on, Jimmy and his actors butt heads with Johnny and his revelers, and the night won't end until someone calls the cops.

 

Have you ever seen 13 Tales of Halloween? I can't recommend it. But one of the better shorts was WAR, which was a story about an old man with a traditional Halloween setup getting into a fight with his younger neighbor, who throws a wild Halloween party. It culminates in the old guy attacking the younger neighbor with a chainsaw, only for them both to end up impaled on a stake sticking out of the ground. This scarezone is basically that, with more aggression. There are two houses set up in the scarezone, one with all the trappings of a decent kid-friendly yard haunt: Tombstones, ghosts, various Halloween-colored Fairy Lights, scarecrows, and Skeletons. The other has blood strewn about the front, beer cans littering the front yard, strobe lights, and plastic-and-latex body parts hanging in the trees and windows. Both sides have fog machines, and Jack-O' Lanterns (Johnny's are more monstrous, and often have weapons lodged in them). Mr. Jimmy's house has Halloween Novelty songs playing, while Johnny blares metal.

 

SCARACTERS (Listed in the order of Jimmy-Johnny):

• Mr. Jimmy: A middle-aged guy dressed like a vampire. He stays in his yard, greeting guests. Wields a cane.
• Johnny Krueger: A young punk with a mullet, wearing a tank-top and camo pants. Operates in the bed of a pickup truck, carrying a chainsaw and spraying "beer" from a keg on guests.
• Ghostly Bride and Groom: A pair of actors dressed as skeletons getting married. The Groom carries a cane, and the Bride carries a dead bouquet of flowers.
• Lumberjacks: Two tough guys who wander the streets, drunkenly shouting at guests and waving their chainsaws around. They wear flannel shirts and brown pants.
• Stilt Walker: A man dressed as a ghostly gentleman, wearing stilts. Doesn't need a weapon, he's wearing stilts.
• Party Girl: A drunk girl with messily applied skeleton makeup, carrying a solo cup.
• Witches: A pair of women playing witches, in black robes, hats, and green face paint. One witch carries a broom, and the other a heavy wooden spoon.
• Bikers: A pair of portly bikers. One carries a hammer, the other wields a machete.
• Death: A man wearing a black robe with a faceless mask and skeleton gloves. Carries a scythe.
• Halloween Punk: A man wearing a denim outfit and a gnarled pumpkin mask. Threatens guests with a buck knife.
• Scarecrows: Two people dressed as scarecrows. One wears gingham, overalls, a burlap mask with a goofy face, and a worn baseball cap. The other wears a red shirt, black pants, a jack-o' lantern mask with a smiley face, and a straw hat. One carries a pitchfork, the other a sickle.
• The Slashers: Two guys. One wears a Freddy Krueger costume, the other a Jason Costume (from the days Jason wasn't a mangled corpse). They are both a little unfit to actually "be" playing their characters, so the scaractors will be playing guys playing these iconic slashers. Freddy has his glove, and Jason a hatchet.
• Sheet Ghost: A man wearing a sheet with holes cut out of it to form a face.
• Skelebro: A man wearing a leather vest over a Skeleton costume. Carried a baseball bat with nails in.
• Mad Scientist and Monster: A man dressed as a mad scientist and his Frankenstein-esque monster.
• Ravagers: Two guys dressed in apocalyptic armor and gas masks. They use a hatchet and a chainsaw.
