Thread: Need names of scary characters for haunted school

Tweet

I'm going to do a haunted school display this year. One of the main scenes will be a classroom with the teacher being a 3-axis skull and the principal will be one also (uh, I hope!) The teacher needs some students. I was thinking of having a row of chairs with their names on them like tombstones: Jason, Freddy, Michael, but I need some girl names that the kids would know. But who? Carrie? I just can't come up with any (I don't really watch horror movies any more...chicken!) And then I want to have their weapon of choice or some other signature item they are known for to be in a back pack or on the ground by their chair. I want to have 5-7 creepy kids.

My ideas so far for this plan are the classroom scene with the skull teacher singing the hearse song; the principal will have kids in detention (spider victims in web, gibbet, stocks); I think I'm going to be a zombie lunch lady, so my porch will probably have the butcher shop scene setter, etc., might have a school nurse in a witch potion scene, the cemetery will be the playground. The elementary school by my house has "Hills" in the name, so I was just going to call it Haunted Hills School, unless you can think of something more creative. I want to keep the "Hills" part, though.

Any suggestions for character names or scenes would be appreciated.

Just look up famous females in horror, Elvira, Vampira, Opra, Mortisha...

What about Molly from (the haunting of molly hartley and Tabitha (bewitched)?

by the way your haunted school seem's like a fun idea. I would have never thought to do that.

what about the 'ring girl"? isn t her name Samara. Oh ya what about" Donna the dead "Dawna"

One girl who can't be left out is Regan.

Thanks for the name ideas. Halloweenbarb, I totally forgot about Samara! Of course, I didn't see the movie but I know the TOTs will know of her. I think I'll use her name as one of the girls, and then the only other really familiar one I can think of is Carrie. I do have a Donna the Dead groundbreaker prop so that's a maybe.

OK, what about the school name. Its gotta have "Hills" in it. Haunted Hills School? Horror Hills School?

Any scene suggestions?

Maleficent, I must have been typing when you posted. I forgot about Regan! I gotta use that one also.

I do cringe a little as a say this but kids will also know the girls from Twilight such as Bella, Victoria, Rosalie, Alice and Jane...ouch that hurt a little saying that.

If it were me I would go with names I love myself even if they dont know it. I love like Katrina Van Tassel from Sleepy Hollow she was not a maniac killer but I would smile at that name knowing what it was reference to.

Esther (The Orphan) - she likes hammers; Lillith (Supernatural); Christine (the car); Ripley (Alien). Another good boy name would be Chucky. Your idea sounds great!
