THE HORROR MOVIE MEME
HORROR
1. An intense feeling of fear, shock, or disgust.
2. A thing causing such a feeling.
1. Roll for Scenario.
2. Play out Scenario.
3. ???
4. So much profit.
WHO ARE YOU?
Roll for your Role in this particular feature. You may not take on all the mental traits of your new trope, but it'll give you something to do within the typical framework if you can't think of anything.
1. Plucky Hero you're the guy/gal who started this shindig. If you're a final girl (the one who survives at the end) that remains to be seen. Ultimately however the final outcome of all this is going to be your fault.
2. The Sex Kitten Unkind words include whore, slut, or "guy/girl everyone wants to bang." You're here for eye candy. Expect to die naked. Sorry about that.
3. That idiot with the video camera You're the guy/girl making sure we all see this. While you might be a hero because it means that people will learn from the death of your friends, you're still the dick who goes back from the camera. Why would you do that.
4. Local Law You represent adulthood and aging. Horror is against old people unless they're grizzled and bitter. It's also against authority. Be prepared to either go insane or die and prove that authority sucks.
5. Higher Law You're the guys/gals who are probably doing this. Or maybe trying to control it. You represent that even though authority sucks we can't escape it and yes, ultimately you will end up in a shitty apartment paying bills or you'll go to jail. You crack down and roll in that "I'll never get caught" feeling bro. You've earned it by playing with the system.
6. Monster Congratulations you're the bad guy. The evil guy. the monster guy. You're just nasty. Either you're a typical monster or you're just a guy who became a monster but being bad is a LOT of fun okay. Okay. So enjoy it. You represent our darkest fears that we hide from behind computer screens, Sonata cars, and Local Law.
7. Infected You're giving up on society as a whole and turning into a monster. Fuck society! Fuck humanity! Fuck people! down with power! up with the revolution!
8. The body count You're just sort of there. You're there to be tortured/watch people get tortured/generally amuse the audience.
9. The Hunter ONCE UPON A TIME. you were one of the previous eight tropes. You survived, found a witch, got cured, got out and now you hunt the very things that took everything you loved from you. We don't know what you represent. Seriously hunters don't seem to last super long just ask the Winchesters who despite surviving are pretty screwed up.
10. You're the Audience ...somehow you know exactly what the hell is going on and you're in a horror movie with people who don't. Do your Scream-esque warnings save the lives of the people on screen or are you doomed to just be another casualty...in the movie?
1. The Cabin in the Woods An Idyllic vacation turns into a nightmare when you read from a book/invite in the hitch hiker/leave the back door unlocked/investigate the strange noises coming from the lake.
2. An American werewolf in London You've been attacked by something large and furry and now you're twisting, shifting, changing into something dangerous. You might not be in London, but you'll still be just as dangerous.
3. Rosemary's Baby and Other terrible bedtime stories You're pregnant/channeling Satan/performing an exorcism/trying to fight off demonic entities from Pinhead to Bozo the incredibly demonic clown.
4. The Devil's Carnival That carnival has always been there, perhaps it has perhaps it hasn't but the games are a little too rigged and the carnies are a little too creepy. Drink nothing, touch nothing. Or do you touch everything? after all, you can't help but fall...
5. 30 Days of Night You're a creature of the night, an undead monster, a being of the nether regions who has sold your soul for the remains of your humanity and as a price? You must drink blood. Also known as the obligatory vampire option.
6. Welcome to NightVale ...Carnivals, vampires, werewolves, floating cats, talking heads, satanists, glow clouds, demonic possession are all par for the course. Pick one and own it while turning up the weather and listening to it.
7. SAW You're pissed, someone's pissed, someone's mad about something and what do we do when people get mad? Do we write concise letters or talk about it? Heck no. We put them in large complicated rube-goldberg devices and/or make them pay by watching them suffer. Or you're just breaking into a house for funsies. #healthyanswerstocoping #nonotreally
8. Hannibal and other cautionary tales. So you're not furry. You're not a mutant. You're twice as scary because you're a regular person. Something went wrong in your wiring and now you eat people and after you eat people you carry them up to your house and put them in the window and call them Mom or something. (It's a horror meme. can't do horror without hannibal right?)
9. How insidious Ghosts, goblins, ghouls, things that go bump in the night. Something wants you out of your house, wants your son, wants you to die because it's not alive anymore. The obligatory ghost option.
10. It's always been this spooky Dystopian Horror, for the science fiction, cyberpunk, alernate reality fan. Either one day a year crime's been made legal, there's a ship that came back from hell floating above Neptune, or Insert your own here.
11. There is no 11. No "choose your own adventure" option. Real life sometimes makes the choices for you.
