6 roles
LEAD. Smart and charming in his own way, level headed and is not one to jump to conclusions. He has a natural instinct to be curious in a methodical way. Josh is the leader of the group. Caleb is his best friend, and has a brotherly banter with him.
SUPPORTING. Caleb is more careless about life, rarely takes things seriously. He's sarcastic and loves playing around, perhaps as a defense mechanism for what he is really feeling. Caleb is dating Zoey, though it seems like he treats her like a close friend rather than a partner.
SUPPORTING. A "scaredy cat" who tries to appear tough for the sake of her boyfriend, Caleb, but has a hard time and her worries tend to show very quickly. She's very cautious and overthinks everything. She does not enjoy being in uncomfortable situations.
SUPPORTING. He's the definition of a hipster wanna be, but in reality he's just a geek who wants to be cool. He is not the most confident and doubts himself often, but tends to keep pushing thanks to Josh's presence. He feels he finally has found a solid group of friends, and in order to keep them he tends to follow what they do. Sometimes by making it seem like he came up with the ideas that the others already had.
SUPPORTING (One scene only). Sweet and bubbly. Carrie is a horror nerd who works at the library. She's got that innocent personality that has a dark side. Very knowledgeable (think book smart) and although she doesn't look like it, she knows all about the supernatural. She's worked at the library so long she could take you to a book with her eyes closed.
ANTAGONIST, NON-SPEAKING. Tall and with a slight hunch. Von Schaffirt is the ghost that follows those who disturb his home. He is quiet and keeps to the shadows every watching his prey until he's ready to strike. Think of the red faced demon in Insidious.
