On Monday, Samara Morgan had walked out of a well into the ocean, and out of the ocean into a haunted house. She'd expected, from the way the ghosts with STAFF badges talked, to find herself back in her well on Tuesday night, with the cover firmly shut just the way that woman who was not your dirty-word mommy had left it.
Not so much. So much not so much that not only was she still here, she was still here with no nasty grown-up NO YOU MAY NOT rules wrapped all around her like choking wet well-weeds. That feeling had vanished as soon as those STAFF badges did.
No well, no rules, and no waiting for someone who still had a VHS player to stumble over her story. Instead, there was a whole empty movie theatre here, like it had just been waiting for her all these years.
NOW SHOWING
DOUBLE FEATURE, FREE ADMISSION, FREE POPCORN:
Untitled and
Don't Watch This Rated G. For gross.
She wasn't taking any chances. They were getting everything. Even the DVD extras. Not that she knew what DVD extras were.
[OOC: THING ONE - Ghosties who stayed, you may consider this your official Free To Be You signal to start doing your thing all over Fandom if you haven't already! You're also welcome to use the lobby or movie threads to bump into each other and hatch evil plots, if you need a place for that; Samara's film won't affect your characters aside from presumably boring the crap out of them since it's been playing at the con for two days.]
OOC: THING TWO: For the living, watching either/both of the films means you want your character to be tormented by Samara for the next 3 days, as described
here. I'll send a mass e-mail for brainstorming where/when you'd like her to appear and what you're welcome to mod, etc. to those who ping in to watch. If you just want to wander in and then change your mind, there's a lobby thread where the only dangerous thing will be that the popcorn is slightly moist.]
