Good eeeeeevening and vellllcome to my humble abode.

http://www.goblinville.com/downloads/new-graphics/houses/mysticmansion.jpg

I am the host of this year's Halloween Costume Ball.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif


These are the guests that should be arriving shortly:

Last1standing
kittylane
jesique
Percy
MerAlove23
Jo-Admin
greeneyedgirl
Dan_Shues
SoraNoYume
Harrison
Polly
Rozie
skatergirl
Rob
Nibbles
Trish1537


This year's theme is Horror Film Characters. All guests, with the exception of Nibbles who I am playing PM tag with at the moment, have by now been assigned a character.

Each guest will post in character and leave clues about who you are. Each guest will then try to guess which character each guest is representing.

But, please do not post your guesses on the thread. Please send them to me by PM and I will tabulate the results and announce the winner on the final night of the Costume Ball.... Halloween. The winner is the guest who has the most correct guesses.

So, we have two weeks... take your time and have fun with this. Do try to post at least once a day in order to try to give everyone a fair chance at guessing your character. But, remember, be careful and don't be too obvious.

The only hints I am going to give you....

The characters are from mostly older movies, but not necessarily all of them.
Not all the characters are villains or monsters.

Note: Other ageless members may send guesses to me via PM, but only those who signed up for the game will win a prize.

I will sticky the thread during the game to make it easier for everyone to find.

edited to add a link to the original thread so that everyone will understand what this is about:

I might be late. I'm at the doctor's right now.

i wish my mom had stayed with my father, life might have been easier for me :(

i hate that i have never been accepted, i have lived a very protective life. but i still try so hard to fit in. :(

i hope someone one day will fell my pain.... boo hoo, boo hoo. sniff, sniff.

*Officially in character*

Bring me my shawl...I'm cold!

**Weeping...knashing of teeth**

NOOOOO!!!!
NOOOOOO!!!!
WHY??!?! WHY?!?! WHY...did you not SAVE HER??? HOW?! How could you not save her??? Your SKILLS!! Your abilities?! How could you...just let her....DIE like that! With ME...not even THERE!!

CURSE YOU!! You WILL PAY!! YOU WILL PAY!!

(Emote: Checks out the other guests and pees on the floor.)

everyone see's me as innocent but they dont know the rage that is building in me.

i dont even understand it myself.......

I was born to a single mother

I Never Sleep..... and some think I tell them what to do with my mind.....

Oh gooood, some guests have begun to arrive. Make yourselves.... comfortable. I hope that nothing..... bad (muahahahaha) has happened to the other guests.

I think I will start passing out potion, I mean, um, drinks to the guests.

I absolutely LOVE to read....but there's this one particular series...oh my my, just makes me all goose-pimply.

Hmmm....this house is clean.

Nadine.

I am English born, and will eventually die, for the love of a woman.

No comprendo nada... I am lost, what is going on? HELP! :D

P.S. I think I came in, to a house that I was not invited! jajajaja

This is the Halloween Costume Ball. :) We had a thread about it elsewhere in Chit Chat. If you want to play, I am accepting new guests just through tonight. After tonight, sorry, can't take more players.

Let me know if you want to play and I can help you understand what to do.

Can I come in through the back door?... :)

I will give it a try but I may be a ghost! :D

Altarubiaguapa has decided not to join the party after all. But, Trish1537 arrived last night before midnight. So, she will be the final guest admitted to the cemetery... um, I mean party. :D

Just a reminder to everyone to please try and post at least once a day in character to give everyone time to try to figure out who you are.

I live in Oregon.... and I got Longggg Black Hair

C0ckadoodie!!!

I guess I will just look in through the window... :D

*slips in quietly, look around the room, and sits in a lady-like fashion at a table in the back*

*in a southern accent, because I'm not good at typing those*

My apologies for my late arrival. I have been quite the recluse for a number of years. I don't receive many visitors at the plantation. I'm sure this will be quite the enjoyable event. I'll have some some tea with lemon, if you please.

I have a family owned business.

I am the artist in the family, my mom says so, and I want a horse sooo bad!! She's an actress you know!! I even have a little studio in our basement!

I'm not amoung the living

I'll be in the basement.

I taunted men for their inexperience............

mama thinks the devil is inside of me. i told her that i have special powers.

I was reciting a poem in the park when they came to take me away!!!

I'm a peaceful, gentle person.....mostly. I like taking care of people too.
I'm also very stout. i LOVE weilding heavy tools.

Finally! A vacation! This is gonna be great!

I make a great sandwich.

*sipping her tea, turns and glances out the window, and sees people approaching across the lawn.*

"Oh, my!"

*Steps out on porch, pulls out a shotgun and fires a shot into the air*

"Get off my damned property! You'll never have the plantation, NEVER".

*steps back in the party, sits back down primly at table, places napkin in lap, and turns to her companion sitting next to her*

"I believe I'll have some more tea now, and this time bring me a cookie along with that. That will be all, thank you"

I hope my guests are having fun. There certainly are some smart ones here. With two more weeks left to go in the game, the guesses are already starting to roll in. There is currently a four way tie. Four people all have one correct guess. Hmmm, but who are those who have guessed correctly? We will all find out on Halloweeeeeennnnn.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif

Gosh it's Dark down here!!!

Don't worry....your daughter is alive and in this house.

Nadine.

.....lead them to their death........

Another doctor's appointment! And today they gave me Ritalin!! Just because I called someone a C**T.

Anyone hear from Whiterose? I am still trying to get my character!

I have sent her 2 or 3 pm's today.

-Nibbles

I MUST get to her!
I MUST! I can not let them do this to her!!
I MUST!! I must get there...
Oh god I must...

**Gets into car**

Please don't go, my 'love...please....

**Suddenly....

CRASH!!

Erwood...Leshire...

Sorry about my box being full today :( but it's all cleaned out.

Hey everyone, when you send me your guesses, make sure that you are telling me the name of the character. Just guessing the movie isn't going to be enough because we are looking for the character name. :)

I come here great with child.

The "Evil One" lives in the hearts of my neighbors.

Hey everyone, when you send me your guesses, make sure that you are telling me the name of the character. Just guessing the movie isn't going to be enough because we are looking for the character name. :)


Hey - try your best to come up with the name of the actual character. But, if you can't, and can only think of the name of the actor/actress that played them, I'll accept that.

Now come on people, give us some clues on your character. You started this ..you HAVE to continue on. you can NOT let it end with just THAT!
So post some clues, you dirty birds!!!

Concluding the poem, I scream, "Something has hold of my soul and I don't know what it wants!!!"

*puts hand over ears and shakes head*

I simply cannot stand it. Someone please ask those children to stop singing that rhyme!

It's kinda damp down here...

What's over the hill there? Sign says "East Proctor"....hmmm. Sounds as good as any; let's try that.

I have been barren for sometime before now.

*Sigh* That damn ice machine has to be cleaned out...AGAIN!

"at first i thought he was obnoxious, but now the big lug has grown on me!" *bats eyelashes*

My husband and I just moved to an apartment in New York.

I am plagued by strange dreams.

one of the twin sons dies in a bizarre accident......

"my big guy fights off all the beasts of this world for me!" *bats eyelashes*

I was booted out of university.

"when he holds me in his arms i feel on top of the world!!" *bats eyelashes*

I wish my husband would stop spending so much time at the neighbors!

CURSES!!! Damn THEM!!

Not only did they destroy HER...
But they destroyed ME, as well...

They will PAY!!
THEY ALL WILL PAY! Each and every one of them...seperately....EACH OF THEM...
They think I am dead...so they will never suspect...BUT EACH ONE OF THEM...WILL DIE!

This is going to be a great three months, but I am gonna miss Debbie Klein though. Her body is so hot!

*quizzical look*

who moved my penguin?

*passes out fresh goblets of blood... er, I mean wine, to all the guests*

Ahem, may I have your attention please? Here's an update on the status of the game. Here is the count of correct guesses so far:

One of you has 6 correct guesses
One of you has 2 correct guesses
Four of you have 1 correct guess

Some of you are in the right movie, but haven't guessed the right character.

*goes back to passing out goblets of wine. Checks on those who have passed out to see if they are breathing. @#$%! they ARE still all breathing. sigh*

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif

This house has many hearts.

Nadine.

I am very literate and intelligent.

This is just such a lovely party. Shall we have any dancing this evening? You know, we had such a lovely party once at the plantation, long ago when I was young. Everyone was in the ballroom and.... *voice trails off as she looks toward the staircase*

My good friend warned me about Witches.....

I don't know if it was the punch or the fact that I haven't been sleeping well, but I feel sick!

* SPEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW*

***burrr***

Walking in this cold rain is no fun...I wonder if we can get something to eat up ahead?

does anyone have any big jars I can keep stuff in? I'm, um, trying to grow... something.....

OH MY LORD!!!

*looks at staircase with HUGE eyes, and puts hands over mouth to stifle a scream, points at stairs*

pause

*closes eyes, looks up at stairs again, looks confused, and then nervously begins drinking her tea again*

They EACH will pay....
Oh yes, they will!!

BUT...I must think carefully, how each one of them will pay...
My pipe organ, while I play...will provide me with the solitude that I need to think....
And yes...the pendants must come into play...
Oh yes....

My window needs to be cleaned so I can see out of it...I need to keep an eye on things.

God speaks to me. Especially when He wants me to help someone in need.

A crowd of people made fun of us as they passed us by.

"The Slaughtered Lamb"

Hmmmm......strange name for a pub, but at least it looks dry and warm

*joins ALTARUBIAGUAPA outside the window* Hmm what is going on here? Should we pop some popcorn for the show? :)

****!!! My neck is killing me!!

****!!! My neck is killing me!!

puts down shovel

I'm a Dr, maybe I can help with that?

Go into the Light. There is peace and serenity in the Light.

Nadine.

I am highly educated with unusual tastes. :cool:

I am highly educated with unusual tastes. :cool:

Yo Harrison, you're supposed to post in character in this thread, bro... ;)

....... :p

You could say I haven't kept up with today's fashion.

I hope my "guests" are having a good time.... while they can. muahahahaha!

The ball is halfway over and here is the latest tally of the guesses that have been submitted so far:

One guest has 6 correct guesses
One guest has 5 correct guesses
One guest has 2 correct guesses
Four guests have 1 correct guess

*goes back to passing out poisons.... gah! I mean wine*


http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif

My Mother really hated me

There is no death. It is only a transition to a different sphere of consciousness.

Nadine.

Wow...what a weird bunch of people! Let's just get out of here.

Now that we are midway through the game, I thought I'd let the guests know that have submitted guesses so far, how many of their total guesses they have guessed correctly and how many of their total guesses they have guessed incorrectly. I will not tell you specifically the names of those you've guessed right or wrong, only the total number. ;)

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif

The numbers 666 keep coming into my mind!

I don't get around quite like I used to.

She is gone....but, I must bring her back!
But.....that crash....it...scarred my face. It destroyed it....
These latex pieces will help me look like myself....
The blasted phonograph is now my voice mail....

And each of thier deaths...will be gruesome. More so than the last...

Bee's and Bats...will be the first few modes of death...

She will be avenged!

((freezes as an erie howl splits the night))

What was THAT???

Maybe it was just a dog...let's just keep walking.

I wish my son would stop bringing home those wh@res! I don't want them in my house!

People see me chowing down and go "Eeeew!" but I love my meals. :)

There certainly are a lovely array of guests at this party. I'm having a wonderful evening here. Perhaps I should mingle a bit, yes.

(stands up and smooths skirt)

Oh my lord, it looks as if I have spilt something all over my skirt. What is this?

*peers at skirt closely*

OH MY GOD it looks like b......*screams at the top of her lungs and falls to the floor*

I can reach people from their own homes without even being there

i did NOT kill those babies!!!

i just want to belong, school is so hard.

I hope my baby is okay.

i did NOT kill those babies!!!

and even IF i did....i pray for them. God will take care of them.

I will take you places you've never seen. I will show you things that you have never seen and I will see the life run out of you!

Newsflash -- there is now a two way tie for first place:

Two of you have six correct guesses
One of you has five correct guesses
Four of you have two correct guesses
Two of you have one correct guess
Seven of you have either not submitted any guesses or none that were correct. :p

Now, remember, that you are guessing the character's name from the movie. If you happen to guess the name of the actor/actress that actually played the character in the movie, I will allow that as long as you have named the correct movie.


http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif

Wow...my life (?) has really changed in the last few hours!

TV becomes reality

We always keep a shovel or two in the kitchen...never know when one will come in handy.

OoooOOoooo, my guests are become verrrrrrry wise. There is now a four way tie for first place:

Four guests have six correct guesses
One guest has three correct guesses
Two guests have two correct guesses
Two guests have one correct guess
The rest have either not guessed at all, or incorrectly.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif

Dance with me, you little toad............dance

I wonder who that was? His hair was perfect, and I'd love to meet his tailor.

I wonder who that was? His hair was perfect, and I'd love to meet his tailor.

Does he have a wife? I could get him a wife.

My son needs to be more attentive!

I've got some news for my friend that he isn't really going to like hearing, but right now he's too interested in that cute nurse to listen to me. Of course, the fact that he's a real animal in the sack isn't helping matters any...

Some of my guests have been paying very close attention to the game. We now have a new leader, who has correctly guessed some characters that others have not yet been able to.

I am going to post our standings, but, then because it is the last week of the game, I am going to also PM every guest who has submitted correct guesses and now let you know which ones you have guessed correctly. And, from this point forward, anytime that you send me a correct guess, I'll let you know that right away.

One of you has eleven, count them, ELEVEN, correct guesses
Two of you have seven correct guesses
One of you has six correct guesses
One of you has three correct guesses
Two of you have two correct guesses
Two of you have one correct guesses
Seven of you have either zero correct guesses or have not submitted a guess at all.

Have fun guests, while the fun lasts. muahahahaha!

A suicide has been committed here in my neighborhood and I am becoming increasingly nervous.

every girl hopes for a date for prom.

Oh! A sale on shower curtains! We need to replace some.

Well THAT went well. :mad:

Sheesh, what was I expecting? He only listens to me once in a blue moon anyhow. Maybe if I brought some friends along…

I love being in white

I hope I can rescue their little girl.

Nadine.

The housekeeper hasn't been in for quite some time....(I'm not referring to myself, y'all, I'm referring to my character's house!!! :D)

I know what I'm doing....now, take these painkillers.

.......haunted by memories of a tragic event in their long-ago past ......

Here is the latest update:

One of my guests has 12 correct guesses
Two of my guests have 7 correct guesses
One of my guests has 6 correct guesses
Three of my guests have 4 correct guesses
One of my guests has 2 correct guesses
One of my guess has 1 correct guess
Seven of my guests have either not submitted guesses or have 0 correct guesses

I want to give kudos to two Ageless members who are not active game participants, but who have been submitting guesses. One of them has 14 correct guesses. One has 6.

Some of my guests seem to have wandered off from the party. I hope that they didn't encounter something eeeeevil out in the marsh.

There are only 5 days left of the party, including today. All the guests need to come back and post more clues in order to give everyone a fair chance at guessing your character.

hides shovel behind back

Sorry, I was in the graveyard. I ran into something, but I'm not sure it was evil.

*casually strolls over to window, and peers out at guests on patio below*

*smiles and nods at everyone, and then when no-one is looking, begins attempting to push a huge heavy plantar out the window onto the guests below*

i cant believe the most popular boy in school wants to take me to the prom!!!

Did I introduce you all to my new friend Frank?

There are only three more days of the party including today. All guests need to return to the house and begin to post your final guesses, especially those who haven't posted much. Please come back and post to give everyone a chance to guess who you are.

the queen of the prom!!! me! wait what that noise overhead?

Each doctor will DIE...
And if YOU are a doctor, YOU will die TOO....because you could not save her life!!
And eventually, I will die next to her...if I can not save her....

Was that thunder? And lightning? I'd better leave... got things to be doing.

The party will be over in a little over 24 hours from now. It's time for all guests to return to the party, post your final hints, and then if you haven't already done so, submit your guesses to me via PM. I will then tally the guesses and post who the winner is tomorrow night. I will also reveal the name of each guest's character.

It's been fun. I hope that everyone has had a good time with this!


http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif

I always tell my son, "Remember...only your mother REALLY loves you!"

He's never going to listen...I might as well be howling at the moon. :(

Its blood, blood is all over me, they will pay, i will destroy and kill everyone in my path, i may be killed in all this but i will not die, i will raise from the dead.

no more miss nice girl, paybacks are a beotch.:mad:

Look at the chain I have started!!

Verna, fetch my coat, I'll be leaving now. Thank you very much for inviting me. The last time I went to a really fine party like this was right before Drew....*cough*

You'll excuse me now. I must return to the plantation. I'm expecting a visit from my cousin. You do understand...Good evening everyone, and Happy Halloween. Don't lose your heads!

Yeah! I rescued the little girl! I hope I don't have to do it again and again!

Nadine.

Frank seems a bit upset, he doesn't like to date I ma... err... got him.

Could my baby be evil?

Four aging friends.........

Chowder Society............

Guilt..........

Beautiful and sophisticated...........

One more hour for all the guests to wrap things up. Send your final guesses to me by PM if you haven't already done so. I'll come back in about an hour and will post the winner.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/curly.johnson/images/nos_vampire.gif

CONGRATS SORA!!!!!! I hope you didn't watch my MOVIE!!:p

I feel better knowing that the ones I couldn't guess were movies I'd never seen (most of which never even heard of).

I really enjoyed everyone's characters. Very clever postings! :D

A fun fact about me playing Norman Bates' mother (which turns out to be him)...my mother watched that movie when she was pregnant with me! Maybe THAT explains things??? :D

Thank you very much!!

I HATE horror movies!! I don't think I've seen most of the movies....

I researched your clues/hints!

I could not guess Percy, Harrison or Trish........they were tough for me!


Thank you Whiterose for being such a wonderful hostess!! This was much fun for me!

Love,
sora

Thanks Kat, I know that was a bunch of extra work for you, but it was so much fun! ((hugs))

Congratulations Sora! :D

Man that was hard for me cuz I've never seen my movie! I think thats why I was so easy for people to guess....I just used direct quotes that my character said in the movie!!! :D

I loved that Poltergeist came out the year I was born (1982) and the woman who played my character (Zelda Rubinstein) actually shares the same birthday as me! (May 28th) How cool is that!

Nadine.

I loved that Poltergeist came out the year I was born (1982) and the woman who played my character (Zelda Rubinstein) actually shares the same birthday as me! (May 28th) How cool is that!

Nadine.

Wow, I did not know that! That is cool!

Nadine, you've GOT to see that movie sometime. It is really a great movie.

I'm quite pleased with myself actually. I had to find out the names of the characters I guessed (or some of them), but I knew who they were and what film. And I'm not a horror fan! :p

Didn't really have a clue who my character was, did I make it too hard to work out?
