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
