JAYE’S CHARACTERS FOR HORROR
What I learned is that there is a blueprint for putting horror together. Once a concept is in place, these steps serve as a template to start adding meat to the story.
1. Tell us your Concept and the Group you have chosen.
Concept: Children, who were murdered in cold blood, have come back to terrorize a group of teenagers, who have chosen to disgrace their hallowed grounds.
Group: Thrill seekers. These are friends looking to mix things up. They go to party at the abandoned house by the creek… the one that holds the urban legend….2. Tell us the Dying Pattern of this movie.
B. 6 to 8 characters will be together and die off one by one3. Give us an Identity and a sentence for each character that makes up your group.
Whitney – The Moral One. She will be the only survivor, and the house by the creek will keep her and take care of her. She is pregnant by her boyfriend, Marcus, and he will turn out to be an ass when he finds out he’s going to be a dad.
Josh – Out of control/Obnoxious. He will be the one who initiates vandalizing the house. He will be the drunkest and the loudest, and the first to enter.
Sarah – The sacrificial lamb. Karen will throw her to the wolves, so to speak, and then immediately meet their untimely demise as she tries to make a break for it. We will see her be a test subject for her friends throughout and leading up to her death.
Marcus – Love Interest. (and asshole) This is Whitney’s boyfriend. The guy that helps to unwittingly allow the children to “spare” Whitney’s life… if that’s what you want to call it… He will encourage her to get rid of the kid and make bad jokes about drowning it in the creek, referencing the urban legend of the house.
David – Leader. This is the guy who knows the urban legend and talks his friends into going to their last party. He’ll tell scary tales and jump scare people.
Karen – Complainer. She doesn’t want to be there. The house is dirty. The creek is gross, they brought the wrong beer and the weed is low quality; and David and Robert are kind of being jerks to her. She’s the one who sacrifices Sarah to save herself, except it doesn’t work like she thinks, and she gets double the rage that Sarah got.
Robert – Rule breaker. Likes to push limits. Tries to get to know Karen better and he’s less than a gentleman about it.
Olivia – Introvert. David’s cousin. She timid and shy and wants to come out of her shell. -
ROB’S CHARACTERS FOR HORROR
What I learned:
In this lesson, I learned that there are multiple groups of unique characters and a variety of dying patterns to choose from, when crafting your screenplay. I also learned that every decision you make for your screenplay should honor the concept, because the concept is what will sell your screenplay.Concept and the Group I have chosen:
– Concept: A Parapsychologist and his Team investigate the home of an elderly serial killer, haunted by the victims of his past.
– The Group I have chosen is: A Team of Professionals.Dying Pattern of this movie:
I have chosen Dying Pattern B: The characters experience the terror and survive together, but one or two die.Identity and a sentence for each character:
Paranormal Team
– Leader: Professor Daniel Tillman, a Parapsychologist that leads by example. He believes that no one is more important than the team. His team is his family. He has never seen a ghost and believes they do not exist.
– Rebel/Rule Breaker: Abby Tillman, the professor’s granddaughter, is unorthodox and doesn’t believe in rules. She butts heads with her grandfather because she has seen ghosts all her life.
– Complainer: Tommy McClees, the tech specialist, is a total scaredy cat. His girlfriend, Noelle got him into this. He’s an honest guy, full of humor.
– Monster Bait: Noelle Johnson is Tommy’s girlfriend. She loves the paranormal and is the teams researcher. She wants to believe.The Scheckla Family
– The Carrier: Jerry Scheckla, terminally ill, lays haunted on his deathbed. In appearance, he looks like a kind old grandpa. But in reality, he is a dying serial killer with a house full of secrets.
– Introvert/Loner: Jerry Allan Scheckla Jr, or “Al” to his friends, is the only son of the dying old man. He is a man that is shaped by the trauma of losing his mother at a young age. He drowns himself in work to avoid his family. His marriage is on the rocks.
– Innocent: Barbara is married to Al and is the mother of his daughter. She’s worked for years to reconcile the relationship between Al and his dying father. After many years, Barbara is on the verge of leaving her husband.
– Sacrificial Lamb: Ellie is the daughter of Al and Barbara. She loves her grandpa and is deeply affected by his imminent death. She’s fully aware of her parent’s marital problems but distracts herself to cope. A family tradition. -
ASSIGNMENT 3 – SURVIVORS & VICTIMS
(Title: “GRAHAMSTOWN”)
What I learned from this assignment: That there is a method/pattern in choosing the characters to reach a specific audience; this can facilitate the Producer’s (and Casting Director’s) job when marketing the film.
1- The concept and the group I have chosen: The elderly who turn into monsters at night target young people selected by their age biblical meaning (the no 21 = exceedingly sinfulness of sin) and who are isolated. The monster(s) are also responding to a secret code to choose their leader(s) (the no 77 = vengeance).
2- The dying pattern: A (the characters are killed off one by one)
3- The identity (in 1 sentence) of each character that makes up the group:
· Rescuer: MATTHIAS (biblical meaning = the gift of the Lord) – A journalist in his thirties who comes to Grahamstown to write an article for a newspaper on the small town’s unusual people longevity. While doing his research, he will uncover another disturbing story: the town’s equally unusual number of young deaths and disappearances. He is clever, inquisitive and persistent: he keeps digging for the truth.
· Innocent: ANNA (biblical meaning = favour, grace) – A student in theology. A good person, pure, a bit gullible: she only sees the good in people and does volunteering work (reading stories) at the only old age home of the town.
· Out of control/obnoxious: MIA (biblical meaning = bitterness, rebellion) – has rich folks; spoiled; keeps on changing majors, she is awkward and not very gifted in the looks department; likes to rock the boat and put others in trouble. Manipulative, her lies will cause the death of one of her fellow students and the one who she has a crush on (Stephen).
· Lovers: NAOMI (biblical meaning = pleasant) + JAMES (biblical meaning = supplanter, the one who comes after). She: very pretty, popular and not too bright but streetwise, she has James eating in the palm of her hand. She senses that there is something not quite right with the old people of the town and steers away from them as much as possible. He: on a football scholarship, your typical good looking boy who falls for the prom Queen. They are in love and very romantic, this will be their downfall.
· Rebel/Rule breaker: ANDREW (biblical meaning = manly) – Student in architecture and a wrestling regional champion. Very strong physically and he will form a friendship with Matthias, becoming his side kick in his investigations. His strength will become his weakness as he will underestimate the elderly’s strength and die a horrible death.
· Introvert/Loner: JOANNA (biblical meaning = God is gracious) – A student in literature she is the introvert and loner of the group. She never goes out at night and writes poetry. She talks little but is a keen observer; she makes notes of unusual behaviours in the elderly and will send anonymous notes to Matthias to guide him towards the ‘real story’ of the town.
· Sacrificial lamb: STEPHEN (biblical meaning = was Christianity’s 1<sup>st</sup> martyr) – A ‘good boy’ in all aspects, a bit of a geek, he is secretly in love with Anna; he also does some volunteer work at the old age home just to be near her. He will sacrifice himself to save her and will die in front of her own eyes.

Robert R. Smith Characters for Horror
What I learned doing this assignment is: The importance of intentionality in creating horror characters whose fates fit their characters.
My film title: The Toreph
Assignment Lesson #3
1. Tell us the concept and group you have chosen.
The monster is a Toreph, singular for Teraphim from the Bible Genesis 31. “Teraphim” is usually translated “household gods,” meaning idols. However, another tradition says they were mummified severed heads that were used for the occult purposes of necromancy and divination after being animated by a demon who speaks after a gold nameplate with a demon’s name is inserted into the mouth of the skull, under its tongue. The demon is Azazel, a desert demon of Jewish and Arabic mythology.
The Group: “Professionals.” A team of archaeologists who make the mistake of entering a forbidden cave / tomb at a place they should have stayed away from as it is known among the locals as Tel Esh-Shaitan, “Satan’s Hill.”
2. Give us the dying pattern of this movie.
The Toreph is discovered in a cave south of ancient Jericho in Israel and it is the professional team of archaeologists which is the group that the Toreph will attempt to kill and in a few cases he succeeds.
3. Give us an identity and a sentence for each character that makes up your group.
The group of professional archaeologists is:
Professor Colin Kendrick, leader of the archaeological expedition who dug everybody into a death trap into which he himself has fallen. Victim.
Osman, the innocent guide whose only crimes are discovering the gold nameplate engraved with the name of the demon Azazel and being in the wrong cave at the wrong time.
“Boots” Barton an archaeologist and pal of Ned Garner. Boots will have endeared himself to the audience by his comic relief in the story that his killing will break their hearts and further accentuate the total evil of the Toreph.
Kaitlyn Randolph is the love interest of Ned Garner who interests Azazel, the Toreph, as well, Azazel led those Fallen Angels who desired human women (Genesis 6:1-4; Enoch 9:1-8). Survivor.
Ned Garner, lead character and rescuer, aspiring archaeologist and chess enthusiast. Will he put the Toreph in a Royal Fork? Survivor

Pamela’s Characters for Horror
“What I learned doing this assignment is…?”
Thinking about characters and their place in the narrative was a great exercise. It helped me to define even minor (but killable) characters and start slotting them into the overall story not necessarily by importance but by what value they will bring to the story.
Tell us your Concept and the Group you have chosen.
Professional Group: A group of teachers and nearby residents take shelter at an elementary school during a hurricane
Tell us the Dying Pattern of this movie.
The characters experience the terror and survive together but because the Care Center can choose to kill or maim someone, some of the characters will ‘change’ and become subordinates to the Care Center. One or two die outright.

Jake Iorio’s Characters for Horror
Film Title : 66 Sycamore
What I learned from this assignment is the specific characterization that goes into writing a great horror story. There needs to be a specific kind of group and a specific dying pattern so it can be terrifying. Their identities are also important because it is what gives the audience a way to relate to the character.
1. Tell us your Concept and the Group you have chosen.
Social Group (Family).
My concept is a twelve year old boy, Jack, who wakes up one morning to discover his parents have murdered someone and he helps them bury the body in their backyard. It plays into the dynamics of the family as Jack begins to see the ghost of his dead man.
2. Tell us the Dying Pattern of this movie
Dying Pattern B: The characters experience the terror and survive together, but one or two die. However it will be the parents that will die because Jack will have no choice to kill them if he wants to survive.
3. Give us an Identity and a sentence for each character that makes up your group.
INNOCENT: Jack is an innocent child going into adolescence and being thrust into this terrorizing situation is in a way a loss of innocence.
THE CARRIER: The parents, Mom and Dad, themselves because they bring the horror into the house.
RESCUER: Mr. Foster, Jack’s English teacher. He becomes a sort of replacement parent figure in Jack’s life since his parents are unable to be there for him. He is also someone who is looking to help Jack because his instincts tell him that he is in a dangerous situation at home.

Debbie’s Characters for Horror
What I learned is that by defining my characters this way, scenes suggest themselves and ideas bloom out of character, which helps to create the best story.
Concept: A reptilian alien princess brings her asteroid spaceship into earth’s solar system in order to trap humans and use them to make and test human-alien creations.
Group: Team of Professionals
Dying Pattern: B most die but several survive.
Characters:
John: John is a rich businessman on the surface, but underneath he is still the special forces leader that he was in the war. He is our leader.
Serenity: Serenity is John’s 14-year-old daughter who won a trip to the asteroid in a science competition by building a very advanced robot. When the organizers found out her age, they tried to disqualify her, but John used his pull to make them live up to their contest’s rules. She is the Innocent
Jack: The robot that Serenity built. Jack is an AI who learns through experience/observation and through “reading”. He is the Moral One.
Sly: Leader of the military escort of the group. He goes up against John for leadership until John reveals a tattoo, to which Sly defers. He’s our sacrificial lamb.
Sabrina: Sabrina is a photojournalist who has been with men in several wars. She learned a piece or two about guns and defending herself. She’s our rebel
Mae: Scientist sent to help Jack integrate with the ship so they can find out more information. She’s our Red Herring.
Robert: Doctor sent to handle any medical emergencies onboard. He’s our Monster Bait
Kev: The pilot who takes them to the asteroid. He’s supposed to drop them off, then wait in orbit, but he’s trapped with them. He’s our Complainer.

MICHAEL GRECO’s CHARACTERS FOR HORROR LESSON 3
WILDTA – Working within the broad types of horror
characters and events drives creation of compelling characters.ASSIGNMENT
As you saw in the example THE PURGE, create the Survivors and Victims of your movie.
1. Tell us your Concept and the Group you have chosen.
CONCEPT / GROUP:
Hiram Pa Talley is a wealthy venture capitalist, rare coins enthusiast and land baron serving as self-appointed “Duke” of a three-county area in the rural Midwest. Talley manipulates his baleful wife, his arrogant, entitled and somewhat useless children, his employees, local politicians and business leaders and a mistress or two on the strength of his domineering persona and his money. When Talley and his boat are suddenly missing, along with local teenage girl Celeste, rumors ignite and Talley’s children and hangers-on embark on casual to urgent endeavors to locate his cash and valuables; they focus on Talley’s refuge, his prized boathouse, and do not return. When Celeste emerges, disheveled and partly unclothed, not recalling anything of the episode with Talley or the circumstances of her absence, the town goes into lockdown. Excepting Talley’s youngest daughter, defiant and high-spirited Cordelia.
On the strength of his domineering persona and his money Talley terrorizes [The Group]:
– his baleful wife, Lizette Dalrymple Talley;
– his arrogant, entitled and somewhat useless children, namely Whitaker, Braden, Valeria, Neil and Cordelia;
– his employees, including his accountant Gerald, properties manager Norman and personal assistant Tarryton;
– local politicians (Pit Stewart) and business leaders (Strother Wilhelm, diners); and
– a mistress or two (Catherine and Endora).
2. Tell us the Dying Pattern of this movie.
Hiram’s sycophants and hangers-on would go to the boathouse in secret, and generally not return – disappear permanently.
The only persons to return are:
– Celeste, the cheerleader and beauty queen (Valeria’s friend who comes into Hiram’s orbit before his disappearance), who stumbles into town appearing ghostly pale and soaking wet, unable to recount the events and circumstances of her abduction and absence;
– Neil and Cordelia, Hiram’s youngest children who refuse to kowtow to Hiram and manage to escape his angry assaults; and
– Catherine, Hiram’s long-time mistress, an independent woman with a confident demeanor who fascinated Hiram because lives with verve by her own ethical code and principles.
Those who do not return are usually enticed aboard Hiram’s boat, clobbered with an oar, raped (in the case of the women) and drowned.
The Group cannot do much inside his house, which is always busy. They look for clues along the river, and especially at his boathouse, a secluded riverside structure a quarter-mile away that served as Hiram’s refuge – visitors and visits were limited and carefully monitored, enticing interest in his activities there..
3. Give us an Identity and a sentence for each character that makes up your group.
Example: Leader: Without much consideration, Mike sets a direction, then inspires or pushes the group to go there. Hopefully, he guesses the right direction.
· Leader
· Rescuer
· Innocent
· Out of control / Obnoxious
· Red Herring
· Love Interest or lovers
· Complainer
· Rebel / Rule Breaker
· Introvert / Loner
· Moral One
· Monster Bait
· The Carrier: The one who brings the horror to the group
· Sacrificial Lamb
Disappeared and presumed Dead:
– Acquisitive perpetual sufferer / victim [and baleful wife] Lizette Dalrymple Talley – expects respect, allegiance, and an outsized share of Hiram’s wealth for all the silent suffering and indignity he made her endure, as he impressed her into duty to appear as cheerful, energetic, devoted wife
– Hiram’s arrogant, entitled and somewhat useless children, namely:
– Whitaker (Rescuer), eldest, demanding and presumptuous, competitive, arrogant and affectedly regal, insists on letting everyone know that he is responsible for caring for Hiram’s progeny, and his wealth, in Hiram’s absence.
– Braden (Out Of Control / Obnoxious), second son & child, mischievous, salacious, brash, rebel of the family, intensely inquisitive and curious, determined to find location of Hiram or / and cause of death, caches of coins, collectibles, cash and assets, and what the Hell does he keep hidden in that boathouse.
– Valeria (Innocent), third child, eldest daughter, waif-like, pouts silently to get what she wants, abandons responsibility to give back, inert and ineffectual.
– Neil (sacrificial lamb), matches Braden for brashness and curiosity, more ethically structured, thoughtful and caring. He keeps that part secret, as Braden and Whitaker dominate him somewhat, and have always lead him into trouble, from which they dutifully protect insulate him…until they don’t.
– Cordelia (Lone Wolf), faithful in spirit but driven, independent; fiercely ethical; unconcerned with Hiram’s wealth, considers the privileges his wealth has brought to be a trust which imposes responsibilities on her to manage it properly, for the benefit of others outside herself family.
– Employees:
– Accountant Gerald – glorified thief – shrewd and resourceful – keeps multiple sets of account books for Hiram’s income tax reporting and personal dealings, settling of scores; resents Hiram’s children and believes himself as much the source of it as Hiram.
– Properties manager Norman – responsible but afraid of the world. Suggestible, naive and vulnerable to influence.
– Personal assistant Tarryton – pious and impenetrable, believes himself Hiram’s most trusted confidant. Aligned with Lizette as well as mistresses, plays them gently against each other and plays the children against each other and everyone.
– local politician Pit Stewart – charismatic, venal, ever anxious and conniving, panting about how to get Hiram to give up his cash, Pit moves too fast and is trapped.
– local business leader Strother Wilhelm, owner of a chain of diners in the region financed and abused by Hiram, Strother seizes on Hiram’s disappearance to try a power play;
– Hiram’s mistresses or girlfriends:
– Catherine – serene and patient; resourceful in that she keeps another lover secret from Hiram and his toadies.
– Endora – smart but blowsy, petty and greedy.
Survivors:
– Celeste, the cheerleader and beauty queen (Valeria’s friend who comes into Hiram’s orbit before his disappearance), who stumbles into town appearing ghostly pale and soaking wet, unable to recount the events and circumstances of her abduction and absence;
– Neil and Cordelia, Hiram’s youngest children who refuse to kowtow to Hiram and manage to escape his angry assaults; and
– Catherine, Hiram’s long-time mistress, an independent woman with a confident demeanor who fascinated Hiram because lives with verve by her own ethical code and principles. She is tactical, but she demands answers.
