2 roles
Heavily scripted with some improv. Part lecture on an autopsy, part scare actor, finding ways to insert body horror and feelings of unease and dread in delivery. Very macabre, serious role. This role should evoke fear, audience members should try and move away when this character walks past. Think predator vibes - great white shark, unsettling not creepy.
Improv heavy. The comic relief role who is able to identify a jump scare and take it. Comfortable shepherding groups of people through liminal spaces whilst delivering lines and able to mix fun jokes with tension delivery and easy scares. This character guides groups whilst delivering fun banter. Suitable for actor with tour guiding experience. This is the final role and needs to leave a lasting impression.
