With The Scary opening soon we decided to pose a few Stephen King plot scenarios to the cast and see how they would react.
1. You’re in the grocery store when you notice a thick mist gathering outside. Suddenly people run screaming into the store saying that there are giant insects killing people outside. What do you do?
"Gather as much Raid and bug spray I can find, pull out my phone for video evidence, armor up by wrapping myself in duct tape and start exterminating. I hate bugs." - Jamie
2. You’re in high school and you’ve discovered that you have telekinesis. It’s prom night and some mean kids pull a nasty prank on you. What do you do?
"A human puppet show would be a unique and diverting highlight for any formal affair. Why not give the band a break with your new found entertainment abilities? Nothing says FUN like a life-sized Punch and Judy. (Didn’t one of them have a club?)" - Nannette
3. You wake up tied to a bed in a strange room. Someone comes into the room and tells you they are your biggest fan. What do you do?
"Propose." - Robert
4. You are a single parent with a young daughter. You find out that you’re precious little girl has the ability to starts fires with her mind. What do you do?
"Run to the store and stock up on graham crackers, chocolate bars and marshmallows, it’s time for s’mores!" - Evie
5. You buy a house that’s near an old pet cemetery. As fate would have it your beloved cat dies. Your neighbor tells you that the pet cemetery is on an ancient burial ground and the cat will come back to life if you bury it there. What do you do?
"Tell that nosy neighbor to stop cutting my grass all the time. Mr. Scuffles liked it long and unkempt dammit!" - Alex
6. You buy an old car and decided to fix it up. As you work you realize that the car is possessed and likes to kill people. What do you do?
"I would pay more attention to the walking routes of my enemies." - Graceann
7. Your family decides to be caretakers of a sprawling resort while it’s closed for the harsh winter. You’re isolated and alone. You start seeing all sorts of ghosts and horrific things. Someone starts acting really creepy and you’re afraid of them. What do you do?
"Invite some hot-20something friends to join me for the weekend, pull out a video camera, take extreme closeups of myself with a runny nose, market it as a real world Blair Witch Project, make lots of money, use cash to renovate the resort and call Ghostbusters." - Marcia
8. You’re skipping down the lane, minding your own business, when a clown peeks out of a storm drain. He’s got your favorite toy and promises to give it back if you just reach in and grab it. What do you do?
"Well, first off, if I’m skipping I’m probably somewhat impaired in which case I would not at all be surprised to see a clown in the sewer. After all, I have friends who some would consider “clown-ish” and in my impaired state I would be reminded of the numerous times I’ve seen friends in the gutter. So I would pause to see if it’s someone I know and if it wasn’t and he actually DID have my favorite toy I’d drag his thieving clown ass out of the sewer and beat the crap out of him." - Curt
