Thinkin bout HauntActor! IV

oh IV, where do i even begin

I feel like he’d be best as a groundskeeper at the front of the haunt, entertaining the guests in line

he’s cocky and flirty, but there’s an odd vibe about him

imagining him sauntering around in dirt covered jeans and a shirt haphazardly tucked into his waistband

the jingling of keys attached to one of his belt loops becomes the telltale sign that he’s around

probably carries around a shovel and has it slung over his shoulder as he leans against one of the stone pillars

starts flirting with a guest then mid sentence turns around and just stares daggers into some random bloke that just so managed to pass by

slightly unhinged but keeps it under wraps pretty well (unlike III)

bro has definitely killed someone and buried them in the flowerbeds

“that smell? just a new fertilizer I’m trying out!”

has an unsettling knowledge of poisonous plants and will happily tell the guests about it while side eying the gardens and climbing vines

his character leans more into goofy territory, leading the guests into a false sense of security

he knows that once they are inside those towering walls, he won’t be able to save them

hell even when they leave those walls they’ll be in the woods and IV has enough rationale to not go back there

that’s III’s hunting grounds, IV just works here

Thinkin bout HauntActor! II

I feel like his character would be an executioner

while he doesn’t speak, his presence is enough to make goosebumps spread and the hair on the back of your neck stand

I’d imagine his part of the haunt would be a torture chamber of sorts with medieval torture devices and weapons strewn about

a spiraled stairway leading into an open room, dimly lit by the few flickering torches lining its walls

chains hang from the ceiling and the air around you is damp and cool

it seems that no one occupies this section of the haunt, but he’s just waiting patiently for the right time to strike

his scare tactic would be intimidation 100%

the sound of an axe dragging across the cement floors is the only think you notice before he’s in your face and cornering you

he doesn’t say anything, only stares and

hold on did he just growl?

you quickly find the exit to continue with the haunt and make a beeline there as he just stands and watches you run with amusement

he’s definitely the type to enjoy seeing the guests cower and plead

Thinkin bout HauntActor! Vessel

I feel like his haunt character would be religious in some way

the vibes im getting are demonic priest

his sermons were all going as planned, until something slipped through the veil

the air turned frigid and his followers noticed quickly after

he ended the session early and stayed back in the chapel to figure out what was wrong

clutching a rosary between his palms, a searing pain ripped through his body at the tail end of his prayers

the last thing he remembered before he drifted out of consciousness was the surrounding candles being blown out

his scare tactic would be psychological

opting to have his presence linger in the minds of the folks going through the haunt

slow, deliberate steps and a grin that makes your stomach drop

he stands in the shadows and hisses out cryptic messages

“he is here now”

“there is no need to fear”

you can’t tell where he his, his voice seems to be everywhere at once

and you can feel his eyes boring into the back of your skull no matter which way you turn

I feel like he’d also use a voice changer to make himself sound like an animalistic entity mimicking the voice of a human

Thinkin bout HauntActor! III

we all know he has insane clown vibes

his character probably has a collection of teeth and never shuts up ever

he’s always laughing or chattering his own teeth

he can be quiet when he needs to though

imagining him at the haunted house with those metal gloves and knee caps

you walk past a creepy alleyway on your way to the line thinking you’re safe

wrong!

he’s running after you and sliding past you as sparks kick up on the concrete

he keeps eye contact the entire time

maniacal laughter ensues after you nearly jump out of your skin

he’s also the type to stay just out of sight, but stalk you through the woodsy part of the map

hiding up in trees and jumping down a few feet in front of you

impulse control is out the window

he’s always up to some shit

be it going into rooms he’s not supposed to be acting in

or having full conversations with guests

he’s gonna do it
