[memelikeyoumeanit]

HORROR
1. An intense feeling of fear, shock, or disgust.

2. A thing causing such a feeling.

THIS MEME CONTAINS INTENSE TOPICS THAT MAY TRIGGER INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS TOPICS THAT ARE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED

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.

[Sure. As long as it's not as cheesy as the movie... God, I laughed so much...]

[brazenness]

[ PFFFT lol. Then you best clarify which parts were cheesy. Because that movie kinda gave me nightmares. Fuck you, Tip Toe Through the Window. Fuck. You. B( ]

[consulting_freak]

[Pretty much 90% of it. xD; Especially the soundtrack... You should under no circumstances ever watch The Conjuring.

The main premise of the movie had it's perks, though. I do like the idea of going through weird psychic dreams to save souls.]

[brazenness]

[ Aw, u poor sport. And already did. And kinda loved it despite it scaring the crap out of me multiple times.

I did like the premise, as well as how it built up to a certain point. I didn't like the ending but then most people didn't lol. Will still watch the sequel ]

[consulting_freak]

[I can't help it. I think the only horror movie that really got to me was the first Paranormal Activity film. I guess the Japanese version of The Ring (Ringu) and The Grudge (Ju-On) left me unsettled for a bit. Paranormal Activity made me lose a little sleep. Off and on. For about two months.

I can ignore the cheesiness if you want to use it. XD I am sure Sherlock will be creeped out by anything not normally possible.]

[brazenness]

[ I'm a bit of a wuss with horror movies but I do love them. lol PA 3 was the one that scared the shit out of me out of the four. And I haven't been able to watch the original Japanese versions of those films, just the American remakes because the trailers for the Japanese films were enough to creep me the fuck out. >.<

And I honestly think we can make it scarier. Even if it's just Arthur coming into their room one night and informing them there's someone on his bedroom ceiling. ]

[consulting_freak]

[The fist PA was worst for me because PA2+ explained things. In the first film, you have no idea why any of this is going on. It's scary. It could happen to anyone. I fit under the category of anyone. Once they start explaining that someone traded their first born son's soul or what not, it got much less scary.

Sherlock would come in there ready to deal with some kind of weird acrobat kidnapper...]

[brazenness]

[ Well, maybe we can leave a few things unexplained here so as to keep it scary. ;p ]



It wasn't the first time Arthur had come into their room in the middle of the night. But it was the first time he had ever claimed that it was because there was another person in his bedroom. A man. On the ceiling above his bed.

"With a red and black face and yellow eyes."

Joan was skeptical at first, telling Arthur to go back to sleep and nudging at Sherlock under the covers for allowing their son to watch scary things on the telly. It wasn't until the child continued to insist on the man being real that Joan pushed up enough to turn on a lamp and squint at her son.

"Did you see him as you were waking up?" He nodded before adding, "And he stayed there. Looking down at me for ten minutes. I watched the clock." By the time the ten minutes had passed, the child felt disturbed enough to slide out of the bed and then run out of his room and to his parents.

[consulting_freak]

Sometime during Arthur's description of the man standing in his room, Sherlock could no longer ignore the noise going on in his room while he's trying to sleep. He groaned noisily, rudely interrupting the conversation as he pulled his pillow up so he could press it against his ears to drown out some of the noise. That didn't make the conversation stop, though. So, he had no choice but to listen.

There was something vaguely familiar and unsettling about all of this that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

It was painful to hear his child who was usually so clever and rational claim the bogeyman was visiting him in his room. He felt even more frustrated when Joan started buying into everything. He literally threw his pillow off his face before sitting up - still very groggy as evidenced by the sluggish motion of him sitting.

"It was a hypnopompic hallucination," he tells the child bluntly. "We'll take you to the doctor in the morning to test for a mental disorder, now go back to sleep." We was never a traditional father and he especially had trouble with judging the nuances between proper and inappropriate behaviour when he was half asleep.

[brazenness]

Joan had been trying to see whether or not Arthur had just thought he had seen someone as he was waking up, whatever dream he may have been having still fresh in his mind. Like it had simply been a trick of the eyes and dark. But then Sherlock made his little declaration and Joan turned to glare at him before hitting him in the head with her own pillow.

Honestly. If he had any tact at all, she thought he would at least reserve that for their child.

As she gets up from the bed and takes Arthur's hand, "Ignore your father; he's delirious from lack of sleep."

And then she leads him from the bedroom and back to his room, intent on checking his room and showing that there was no one in there.
