Characters
The Mummy of King Aldrinktotat
Uncovered twenty years ago, the Mummy left Egypt and stalks the globe painting the world red in search of a good time. Madness, mayhem and wanton destruction often follow in his wake. Always well-dressed in designer linen stripes, the Mummy is welcome in hot spots everywhere. He is also a celebrated author - his self help book Life Begins at 3,000 was on the best-seller list for years.
Balihi, The Rogersandhammerstein Monster
The Rogersandhammerstein Monster is constructed from the body parts of various and sundry individuals. He received a degree in decomposition from Juilliard and has been known to terrorize villagers with show tunes. His works include "Graveside Story," "Eternally Damned Yankees," and "Cats." While many women have tried to nail him down to marriage, he always broke loose before vows were ever exchanged.
Asthmadeus, The Prince of Dimness
The Prince of Dimness is deathly afraid of the dark, and he has never been accused of being the brightest flame in purgatory. But, what he lacks in brains, he makes up for in boyish good looks. The Prince spends his life party-hopping the world in his silver Rolls Royce (His brother got the gold one).
Hannibal Schecter
Hannibal Schecter is the world's only documented kosher cannibal. Following the strict dietary laws of his faith has always been a challenge for the hypnotically charming maneater. Hannibal can often be seen escorting tasty beauties to funerals, wakes, and other society functions. Not surprisingly, those beauties are rarely heard from again.
Glumda, The Wicked Witch of DePressed
Always jealous of the other more prosperous enchantresses, the Witch spends much of her days casting spells of mischief to pass the time. She rarely leaves her remote fortress, except to engage in her hobby of mile-high acrobatics on her broom.
Angela Deth, DDS
This beautiful dentist is famous for putting her patients under - six feet under, that is. This vivacious Dr. Deth earned the admiration of ghoulkind when she perfected the Intergenerational Root Canal, a procedure so painful your next of kin can feel it, too.
Aretha Garlique
The effervescent Aretha Garlique is renowned the world over the ethernet. She has done seances for royalty and heads of state and has aided the FBI and Scotland Yard in tracking down murderers.
Lizzie Bordeaux
This gothic and enigmatic woman hails from the south of France. Lizzie has had to fend for herself since her youth and has learned the cutthroat ways of business. A sharp and incisive woman, and never one to mince words, she's carved out a slice of the Transylvanian dream. She's the respected owner of the Motel California, one of Deadbolt's finer inns and is engaged to your party host Neville Aster-Night.
