Horror Character Draft: Who Belongs in Your Nightmare?
Matt and Dan turn horror fandom into a draft, choosing characters while reacting to the team the other person is building. The fun comes from the choices colliding, rather than from declaring one final ranking.
Danny Torrance brings supernatural ability and an unexpected family connection into the mix. Michael Myers changes the balance again, while choices from Ready or Not and The Black Phone open up different kinds of survivor and threat.
They even pause over the problem of a character being too powerful. Once the picks share an imagined space, a favorite is not automatically the most useful selection. The discussion becomes half recommendation list, half argument over what kind of horror story these people would create together.
Who would be your first pick, and which character would make the others completely unnecessary?
