OKAY My Idea For A Halloween Drawing Challenge: 31 Day Horror House

OKAY my idea for a halloween drawing challenge: 31 Day Horror House

With a lot of stuff to do, I probably wouldn’t be able to join in myself this year but you know when a “haunted house” in a cartoon or video game is like an entire spooky world with just EVERY conceivable horror trope crammed under one roof? One of my favorite examples is the little known Braindead 13, but there’s lots more, so this challenge would be to populate and stylize your own! What would we call that? I guess a 31 Day Horror House!

The only rule is that every character has to be some kind of monster, and ideally a different “species” of monster every time, or at least “subspecies” if for example you wanted both a Dracula-style and Nosferatu-style vampire under one roof, or 31 different interpretations of a “space alien!” Whatever!

You could also give all of the monsters an additional theme. Maybe they’re all also plant people? Or object heads? Or different animals? Or hybrids of two different monster tropes? Maybe the house exists in some other fictional setting, like what the heck would a haunted monster mansion look like in the Star Wars galaxy or Spongebob? Whatever makes it more fun and more unique.

Day 01: a wild, feral monster that stalks the surrounding woods

Day 02: the gatekeeper of the weird old mansion you’ve found

Day 03: the butler/housekeeper who guides you around the house

Day 04: the groundskeeper/gardener

Day 05: the handymonster they might assign to “fix” your car

Day 06: the master of the household’s faithful pet

Day 07: the head chef who makes you a “nice” dinner

Day 08: some kind of pest that infests the house

Day 09: something dangerous lurking in the gardens

Day 10: something dangerous lurking in the pond, pool or fountain

Day 11: something horrible inhabiting the guest bathroom

Day 12: something they keep under a trap door to dispose of guests

Day 13: a resident that only SEEMS harmless and pleasant

Day 14: the only resident that is harmless and genuinely helpful

Day 15: a conniving double-crosser that could be helpful

Day 16: the night watch/security chief

Day 17: waste management

Day 18: the resident medical expert

Day 19: the librarian

Day 20: a scientist or inventor

Day 21: the scientist’s creation

Day 22: a more defective creation

Day 23: an artist

Day 24: a young child monster (or several)

Day 25: a nanny or on-site schoolteacher

Day 26: a pair of monstrous lovers

Day 27: something so horrible even they keep it tightly locked away

Day 28: Anything you want!

Day 29: The Head of the Household.

Day 30: What the head of the household really answers to.

Day 31: what the “main character” (or even you!) becomes when their escape fails and they join the house.

Drew Alex! I kept debating whether I wanted to keep his wings or not, but I think he looks better without them.

Tonight, in this very town, something strange is going down.

Horror house day 1 “a wild, feral monster that stalks the surrounding woods“

Very rushed because today was hectic, but I still wanted to get somethin sketched out.

Anyway, this guy was once kept inside the house, but broke out and now menaces travelers and wildlife.

When it sees someone new, it changes its face to a copy of that persons.
