Party Characters

The Thing in the Cellar is suitable for 8 guests (or 8 teams), including the host or hostess. The available characters include:
  • Rex Tuttle: A mummy. Pretentious and a bit prim, Rex likes to remind everyone that he was once The Thing, and not just on Halloween - his gas station shrine was open all year!
  • Lee Walker: A former mall employee, Lee was bitten by a zombie shopper last Christmas, eventually ending up at 213 Elm Street with a strange craving for brains.
  • Frank Stein: A reanimated corpse, the result of a science experiment gone awry. A kindhearted simpleton, he doesn’t know his own strength. Married to Elaine Stein.
  • Elaine Stein: Also a corpse reanimated in the name of science, she is the unhappy wife of Frank Stein.
  • Earl King: A goblin who stands only three feet tall, he is the smallest member of the household – and also the loudest and most annoying. He is always playing tricks on his housemates and bragging about his greatness.
  • Cameron Vaduva: A bewitchingly attractive vampire who wants little to do with the other residents of the house.
  • Waylon Lupescu: Burly, boastful, and swaggering, Waylon is a giant of a man with bulging muscles and rough-hewn features. Every full moon, he turns into a fearsome wolf-like beast.
  • Terry White: A ghost. Kind, gentle, and non-corporeal, Terry chose to move to 213 Elm Street after trying unsuccessfully to live peacefully with several living families.
