the horror movie/location meme
Use random.org to decide on a movie and then one of the prompts that follow. Or just choose one and play it out! Or, if you want to cover all the prompts in a movie subject, feel free! Additionally, if you want to use any of the locations provided, go ahead! If you just want to play in those settings, go right ahead!
If there's something on here that you don't see listed and you want to play it, go ahead!
01) SAW:
a) You and a friend/relative/acquaintance have woken up in a dark, dingy room and are chained together - quite literally. Will you be able to get out or is this your final moment? Better hurry up because the clock's ticking.
b) Perhaps you decided to lock this person up and test them to see if they really do appreciate their life. Will you listen to their pleas for help or just sit back and watch them suffer?
c) Congratulations! You survived your trap! Now, how has your life changed or are you still committing the same crime you were judged for months later?
02) Final Destination:
a) You have just seen your friends/loved ones die in horrific ways in the area you're at. Do you try to save who you can and be labeled as batshit or do you just accept your fate?
b) It seems like Death is claming its' victims one by one and you two are next. Do you try to outrun it, thinking you can escape Death or decide that it's your time to go?
c) Lucky you. The two of you have managed to elude Death for all this time. But, it seems like Death has other plans for you. Better watch yourself.
03) The Ring:
a) You've received a mysterious tape from a friend. Do you decide to watch it with a friend or try to destroy it? Though, a phone call will result with someone saying, "Seven days..."
b) Thought it was just a fluke? Guess again. A creepy girl starts to climb out of your TV and wants to kill you. What do you try to do?
c) You've survived! But, wait - someone's deciding to watch this very same tape! Stop them before it's too late!
04) Battle Royale:
a) You and someone else have just woke up in a strange room on the promise you're going on a vacation. And now, someone's telling you that this is a game for a television show and you're the star. You're given a weapon, but do you decide to go through with killing everyone else in this room or try to fight through the influence?
b) You've decided to go through with killing these people. After all, all you want to do is go home to your family, right? But, your best friend is your target now. What will you do?
c) Good luck on surviving the program! Or is it really the end? It seems like The Program isn't done screwing with you yet. Do you take who you can and hightail it to another country or resign yourself to another round of it?
05) The Birds:
Oh no, the birds have gone batshit! Do you try to deal with them yourself like the badass you think you are or do you take cover and hide?
06) A Nightmare on Elm's Street:
a) Last night you had the craziest dream! You were stalked through a dark boiler room by a severely burned figure with sharp knives attached to the fingers on a glove on his right hand. Your pursuer closes in and slices you, but just as he's about to do you in you woke up. But wait, why do you have cuts in your pajamas? That didn't really happen, right...? Maybe you should talk to a friend about this. Hope the same thing didn't happen to them....
b) So you've succesfully managed to pull the psycho killer out of his dream world and into reality. He's only human. Hope you have a good plan and those booby traps you and your friend set up around the house will get the job done.
c) Congrats! You survived and your friends who were all brutally murdered have magically come back to life! How do you cope with this? At least it will be safe to sleep now. Or is it...?
07) Paranormal Activity:
a) A good friend of yours recently told you that they've been haunted by some sort of presence for as long as they can remember and... it's not exactly friendly. Problem is, they just moved and they're pretty sure whatever it was has followed them to their new home. They sound pretty worried, but there's no way any of this is real, right? Maybe you should head over and set up some cameras. If anything it'll make your friend feel better and you can both get a good laugh out of it.
b) So. Something actually showed up on that tape and you've been told that this presence isn't a ghost. Oh no, it's something much worse. You've got a demon after you. It feeds off of negative energy and is intent on tormenting you no matter where you go. You probably shouldn't provoke it. Who knows what'll happen.
c) You and a friend have come across a series of tapes. They look to be home videos, amateur paranormal investigations of someone's home. What you see on them is... disturbing to say the least. Deformed shadows on the walls, doors opening and closing on their own, screeches and screams coming from something that is clearly not human. The more you watch, the worse it gets and it quickly becomes apparent that whoever filmed this is most likely dead. What do you do with this information? Do you go investigate yourself? Turn the tapes over to the police? Or maybe just write it all off, believe it's not real. It's gotta be an indie film or something, man.
08) Silent Hill:
a) You've just received a letter from a friend/sibling/parent/lover/significant other. Problem is, they're, well how to put this gently... they're kind of dead. The letter tells you to meet them in some town you've never heard of. Maybe you feel guilty, maybe you think it's some sort of sick trick and want to go punch whoever sent the letter in the face, or maybe... maybe you're just curious, but whatever your reason, you do as the letter says. Upon your arrival you run into someone who looks oddly familiar...
b) It's been hours and you're no closer to finding out the truth behind this letter than you were when you arrived. You decide to explore an abandoned hotel and as you search it you come across a videotape. You're hesitant to watch it, but this could give you more information. But... wait... is that you? And this other person... it's the one who sent you the letter. Wait. Wait. Why does it look like you're killing them?
c) Oh, crap. Pyramid Head is around the corner. Better start running!
01) Graveyard: Pretty spooky place to be at this time of night, huh? Hopefully this place isn't haunted by evil spirits or inhabited by a serial killer on the loose!
02) Mental Institution: Even with this place being abandoned, you can't help but hear the moans and screams of previous patients in these walls. Perhaps there's some deep, dark secret you can uncover here or maybe you'll also end up losing your own mind.
03) Abandoned Theme Park: Everything here is rusted completely, but you swear you can hear the screams of children on rides, among other things. Do you decide to investigate the place and try to figure out the secrets or do the sounds of kids screaming spurs something deep inside you?
04) Haunted House: Oh, boy! Let's go exploring! It seems like the wallpaper is already peeling and... what's that metallic smell coming from the basement? And what's with the doors opening and slamming closed? Hope you have a flashlight handy to make it through the night.
05) Church: Such a beautiful place, isn't it? But, are you sure you aren't hearing voices in an area where it's supposed to be quiet? Or, for that matter, are you sure you're not hallucinating seeing a god? And, it seems like the doors are closed already...
06) Random Area: You wake up in an unfamiliar location with there being no one around. The sheriff isn't in town, nor is the mayor or, quite frankly, anyone but another poor sap that woke up in this area. Hopefully you two can make it out of here alive before becoming a part of the town like the other visitors.
07) Hotel: There was nothing in sight for miles, so you and a friend decided to stop by at this rinky dink motel with the lights flickering every so often and everyone else just seeming complacent about being stuck in such a place. Perhaps there's something omnious about the bathroom's smell or what reeks in your room. At least there's HBO.
08) Zombies: Looks like popular media wasn't kidding when they said the undead would rise again in your town. Hope you have what you need to fend off the zombies and know what to do against them!
hey, the chance to put a darker spin on a fluffy fairytale? Deal me in.
[ Her accent's muddled; British father, American mother will do that. ]
You'll be here a while, won't you? I have time for the long.
[ She has nothing but time. ]

It all depends on the nasties mucking about in your head, now, doesn't it? But that wasn't your real question.
To put it simply, yes and no. Yes, I deal with the paranormal, More often than most people do and get to live this long. I wouldn't call meself a bleedin' paranormal investigator. Sounds too much like one of those damn pricks on the television.
What I am, though, is a man who's had to deal with the things that go bump in the night for a very long time. I've developed a sort of reputation with those sorts. They know who I am, and if I don't have a name for them, I can at least point out what they are. Mostly.
I may not be the best, but I'm damn good at what I do. So I help people out.
no subject
For a price. Nobody does anything for free. I know how that works. I've got a dowry.
Not that anybody's touched it.
[ She pauses, and considers; in her head... hmm. ]
Are they in my head, Mr. Constantine? I know they're in my flesh. But my head--do you mean that I'm possessed, or that I'm crazy?
I'm not quite sure how this-- works. I've been taught to be a wife, not a ...whatever you like to call yourself.
no subject
Heh. Dunno if anyone's told you, but most people marry outta love these days.
They might be in your head. Could be in your flesh. Haven't really been around t'judge. Hell, you could even be crazy and the reason I have goose pimples is because it's fucking cold in here.
[He raises an eyebrow.]
Mostly I call myself a man.
no subject
Legend holds that to break he enchantment, I must have one of my own breeding -- old money, blue bloods, whatever you like -- accept me as I am, with all my flaws. Only then will they melt away.
So far, they run screaming. We've got a gag order on he contracts now. I can't just-- fall in love with anyone.
No one's going to just-- fall in love with this face.
[ A sigh, you can practically hear the hair flip. ]
Will I need to come out? Be examined? If you run, do we keep our money?
no subject
[He takes his cigarette from his mouth and puts it out on an end table- no respect for anything, it would seem- and leans forward, his face little more than a blurry image among the nicotine haze.] 'less you want me to do all this willy-nilly. Your face is required. And as far as your money? You don't need to worry about it. Everything will be fine.
no subject
[She asks the question as if it were very serious. And it is to her. She's used to most running and screaming, and she's not sure Constantine won't do the same.]
Just a moment.
[The intercom clicks off. Eventually, the kitten heels she wears can be heard, quiet, beyond a false wall that swings open.]
[The magic will reach him before she does; it's a curse, alright. In the flesh and on her skin -- something that takes what is a -- admittedly strange deformity and twists it in the eyes of the viewer with the right bloodline.]
[And while John may have sullied himself over the years, the Constantine family is old power, and the curse recognizes it's target and sinks in it's teeth, ready to play with his senses and try and make him subject to it.]
no subject
Images flash before his eyes, things he thought he'd never see again, yet there they are, in explicit gory detail. He gets up shakily and begins to move to the exit. A few more steps- push aside the damned harpy and run.- no. He forces himself to stop and glues on a face of complete confidence, something he really doesn't have at that moment.]
'Zat it, then? We'll be having your little garden deflowered before the end of the week. Trust me.
no subject
Which is why you're halfway to the door. I'll-- go back into my rooms. It's safer that way.
[She turns, brown curls bouncing and draws the door shut behind her. It melds seamlessly with the wall-- like she'd never been there. Penelope was as much a ghost of the house; felt over heard, heard over seen-- rarely glimpsed but always somewhere, trapped behind the walls.]
[The intercom clicks on again.]
What's our next step, Mr. Constantine?
Sorry for the late tag!
First things first: We need to identify what, exactly, had done that. If it truly is something inhabiting you and not just a bloody curse. I need to know the story, and who the family was what cursed yours.
pfft i'll wait for quality tags :)
She was reputed to be a witch. It's all very dramatic. [She pitches her force for the deep intoning that comes nextl:] 'The first daughter born to the Wilhern line will reveal you for the pigs that you are. Until one of her own kind loves her as she is, she will forever wear the face of a pig.'
[She laughs, though it has no humor in it.] Guess she wants to make sure the difficulty's set pretty high.
