THE HALLOWEEN MEME
THE USUAL RULES:
1. Post with your character, mentioning their name, the series name and any preferences.
2. Repliers go to RNG and roll 1-10. (Alternatively, roll pre-emptively yourself and others can tag into the scenario you choose!)
3. Watch out behind you - you're now in a horror movie! It can be a serious thriller, a surprisingly terrible comedy (Leprechaun, I'm looking at you), or maybe a family feel-good, but you are definitely part of the Halloween spirit now!
Scenarios range from actual horror movies to more generic Halloween-y situations that are suitable for all ages. I've attempted to arrange the scenarios from most horrific to least horrific. Please also be aware that, due to the nature of some of these suggestions, there may be triggering situations within the comments, though I tried to keep the scenarios as clean as possible.
1. Slashers - You're being hunted by a psychopathic murderer - either a classic horror villain like Freddy or Jason, or one you've made up! Or, maybe one of you is the murderer, a la the Scream movies. Just remember to never say that you'll be right back.
2. Zombies - There's been an outbreak, and the world has fallen to the undead horde! You are now the sole survivors - maybe both of you will make it out alive, or maybe one of you is bitten and only has so long left before becoming a zombie yourself. They're coming to get you, Barbara.
3. Ghostly Presence - The place you are in is notorious for being haunted by ghoulish ghosts and pesky poltergeist (along with some awful alliteration), and it's up to you to either escape alive or help bring the spirits peace. Maybe you're trying to escape from the Amity house, maybe one of you made the mistake of summoning something, or maybe one of you is trying to get in contact with the living. Or, maybe, you're both ghosts. Everyone knows Beetlejuice is a classic Halloween flick, after all.
4. Possession - We need a young priest and an old priest! One of you has been possessed by a malevolent spirit; maybe you're both aware of it, or maybe it's something that will be revealed at a pivotal moment by Anthony Hopkins backhanding a little girl. Maybe one of you is being possessed by the other character! Somehow, you need to deal with this problem - be it ghosts, evil hypnotists or the Devil himself.
5. Monster Mash - It's a graveyard smash where one (or both!) of you has found yourself to be in the sway of some movie monster. Perhaps you're a vampire, or a werewolf on the full moon, or you've been pieced together by a mad scientist. Any way you cut it, this is going to probably put a damper on any date plans you might've had. Get creative - there are more than a dozen kinds of monsters out there, and cult classics are always made with liberal use of obscure mythos.
6. Evil Twins - We're seeing double! This one can go a million ways: maybe one of you believes that the other is your evil twin; maybe two of the same character are interacting, only one is evil; or perhaps you, yourself, are the evil twin, out to ruin the reputation and life of your goodie-two-shoes duplicate! Pro-tip: beards always mean evil.
7. You Are What You Wear - A Buffy classic; it's Halloween, and by some stroke of magic, you have become the costume you're dressed up in! Both of you, or just one of you, now believes that the costume you were in is what you really are.
8. Trick or Treat! - It's time to go out and get that candy you've been waiting for all year! Dress up and take to the streets and see who makes the biggest haul. Don't forget to bring eggs, in case someone decides to stiff you on the king sized Hershey's - and whatever you do, don't smash the pumpkins. That brings bad luck, or have you never seen Trick 'r' Treat?
9. Pumpkin Carving - Get out the knives and find the biggest pumpkin you can, because it's time to make some scary faces on some gourds! Show off in front of each other and try to make the best pumpkin, and then laugh when it turns out the other doesn't know a thing about how to carve a real Jack o'Lantern.
10. Choose Your Own - Pick any of the above scenarios, or come up with your own! Maybe you're strolling through a cemetery, or maybe there's an obscure horror movie scenario that I've missed that you think would be best - whatever you can think of, it's time for you to do it!
SURPRISE HARD MODE: Both characters die at the end.
