Our Host

The Savant

Played by Joey Graceffa

'Everybody runs, but who will Escape The Night?''

A cursed YouTuber who, after "inheriting" an evil house, is forever forced to throw parties in various time periods where guests meet terrible fates one after the other, whether he likes it or not.

Joey is unique for a reality TV show host, in that he solves puzzles with the contestants, with the "NPC" assist character acting as a more traditional host for the contestants. Regardless, he is featured across all seasons with the title "The Savant", as the show is created by him and hosted on his YouTuber channel.

---

• Action Survivor: He's tough enough to survive this thing… with an unbroken record… somewhat. His content creator counterpart confirms he doesn't have that much Plot Armour, if any at all.
• Anti-Villain/Anti-Hero: Sure, he IS a nice guy, as he genuinely wants everyone to get out of each season alive (as much as it is virtually impossible considering the type of show he's in...), and him getting lured into "inheriting" the house and inviting the guests to it as a seeming innocent party in Season 1 WAS a good intention in his eyes, but regardless, he still sends a lot of innocent people to their deaths by acting as a (unwitting) pawn for the Society Against Evil.
  • Plus, him taking the deed at the end of Season 1 resulted in him absorbing some of the evil, essentially dooming him to repeat the process indefinitely.
• The Atoner: As of the end of Season 3, and for the majority of Season 4, Joey is dedicated to saving the lives of as many of his friends as possible. It's not exactly easy given the scenario he's put into, but the effort he puts into doing so is visible.
• Back from the Dead: Got stabbed by the Sorceress in the Season 2 finale and put in a coffin by survivors Tyler and Andrea, but the Crown of Oblivion was just put on his head before, resurrecting him. Sorry, Joey, but you won't escape the horrors THAT easily!
• Blood Oath: Joey signs a Life-Binding Contract at the beginning of Season 3 Episode 1, Binding his life to Everlock. It lasts for the entirety of the season.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: At the beginning of Season 2, the Sorceress does this to him to invite his friends. In Episode 4, he puts on the Helm of Obedience voluntarily for a short period of time.
• Broken Pedestal: To many (if not, all) of the guests. Joey even manages to be this to Rosanna of all people.
• Broken Tears: When he fails to save Lele from her High-Voltage Death.
• Camp Gay: Increasingly so.
• Cassandra Truth: In Season 3 Episode 5, where he reveals being Back from the Dead and all that snazzy stuff. Zigzagged because some clearly believe him but Colleen, especially, does not, which then dissolved into a conflict by the next episode that ends in Colleen being shoved into an Iron Maiden.
• Character Development: The only one who gets major development, mainly because he's in all the seasons. He started out fine, but as he reached a Cynicism Catalyst early on, his Chronic Backstabbing Disorder grew, reaching its peak in Seasons 2 and 3. In Season 4, however, he became The Atoner and even made multiple attempts at Heroic Sacrifice.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Has a tendency of betraying pretty much every friend he has. He gets better in Season 4.
• Cold Equation: Invoked in Season 3; it took him a bloodbath of over two dozen deaths in total, good and bad alike, to confirm his revival. Ten of them were good guys. Ouch.
• Cosmic Plaything: Forever forced to guide people into horrific deaths, era after era.
• Cynicism Catalyst: Justine's death devastated him. The next episode? He committed murder.
• Designated Monkey: He is the one manipulated to host these death games. There is no in-universe reason why this is the case.
• Dirty Coward: Often kills people just to save his own skin, or people who were suspicious of him like GloZell, MatPat, and Colleen. He gets his Character Development come Season 4.
• Distressed Dude: Is essentially this during Season 2 Episode 1.
• Doomed Contrarian: People who openly voice their suspicions about him tend to end up getting killed, one way or another.
• Drama Queen: You know this is the case when Tyler gets serious while he still flounders around when facing foods possibly made from human body parts.
• Everyone Has Standards: Sure he's Camp Gay in real life, but even Joey gets pissed when Lele and Eva are solely obsessed with Colin.
• Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?: Although Joey in real life is Camp Gay, the show tones his homosexuality way down to this level.
• Expy: Of Giles from Whodunnit? (2013). Both are men cursed to host deadly games for the rest of their lives.
• Game Show Host: Technically, though he was entirely involved in the proceedings of it as a participant in all seasons.
• Hated by All: Interesting case, Joey actually always has supporters, but each of the guests admits to hating Joey’s guts for getting them into the situation that they are in. By the end of the season Joey has lost virtually all of his friendships, only to find some new friends whom he can bring to the slaughterhouse.
• Here We Go Again!: To the point where he says this word for word on Confession Cam in Season 3 Episode 1.
• Heroic BSoD: After Justine's death in Season 1, Episode 3.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Despite being known for suffering from rather severe Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, especially in Seasons 2 and 3, he does have his moments. During various points in each season, he goes along with the plan to vote himself into the final challenges of episodes, and he outright takes Alex's place in a challenge in Season 4 Episode 7.
• Improvised Weapon: In Season 3 Episode 7, he threw a pillow/cushion at Willie when the latter entered the Divine Lounge and fishhooked Safiya. He missed by a long shot, but it's the thought that counts.
• "I Can't Look!" Gesture: Subverted. He attempts to cover his eyes with his arm at Manny's death in Season 3 Episode 9. Operative word being "attempts".
• I Did What I Had to Do: Had to take the deed so that someone with fewer moral scruples didn't.
• Jacob Marley Apparel: Implied with him showing up at the church in the In-Between in Victorian era clothing in the beginning of Season 3.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a drama llama and can be absolutely ruthless — but he really does want to help... most of the time.
• The Kingslayer: He killed Dorian, King of the Vampires in Season 2 Episode 2.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: If he didn't take the deed, he wouldn't have been "corrupted" by the evil and Season 2 would likely not happen. And the seasons afterward would have been avoided.
• Pet the Dog: When Andrea is about to get attacked by werewolves, Alex, Tyler and EVEN JOEY step in front of her to protect her, fully willing to fight against an army of massive, angry, werewolves. Damn.
• Platonic Life-Partners: With Justine. Initially.
• Purely Aesthetic Glasses: He wears a pair in Season 4, but was not seen with them in previous seasons.
• Sadistic Choice: Votes along with the other contestants on who gets to go into the death challenge every episode, which is unique for a reality TV host.
• The Smart Guy: Not his primary role, but shows traces of this in Season 1 Episode 5 when he solved a puzzle that no one else could and was The Strategist for Season 2 Episode 4.
  • Despite this, he has quite a few Too Dumb to Live moments serving as scripted Sequel Hooks.
• The Strategist: Not primarily so and more of a one-off incident; when he was picked as a captain for the Capture the Flag game in Season 2 Episode 4, opposing DeStorm, he ensured that Alex was picked last so that the other team could have him, "to start some drama". In case anyone is wondering, Alex blames DeStorm for his girlfriend's death two episodes earlier.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With the Sorceress in Season 4. Justified because after all, she killed him at the end of Season 2.
• Tempting Fate: Usually the Sequel Hook for setting up the season afterward, taking the form of Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!:
  • Season 1: Takes the deed without the others noticing in Episode 10, leading to the remains of the Evil of the house possessing him, and taking him to the Victorian Era (although most of this was only revealed in the beginning of Season 2).
  • Season 2: In Episode 10, he said on Confession Cam, "We can go home now." Cue him not being able to go home yet, as he is quickly stabbed by the dying Sorceress in attempting to take the crown.
  • Season 3: He keeps expressing his wish to go home in the later episodes, and at the end of Episode 10, he told MatPat and Nikita that he would "meet them on the other side", but we don't exactly see him leave the Carnival. Eventually the suspicions are subverted, as shown in the intro for Season 4.
  • Season 4: Was tempted by the "Pandora's Box" and went to open it before the portal closed in Episode 10, but it revealed itself to be a trap and sucked him inside.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: He has become a massive jerk in Season 2 compared to Season 1. He shows no regret for anyone dying, and backstabs Liza just to save his own skin. It is downplayed a little in Season 3 where his main motive is incredibly selfish, but he does regret a lot of it at the end and seems to try to find a way to make things right.
• Uncertain Doom: His final fate at the end of Season 4 is unclear. He is pulled into Pandora's Box and does not escape with the others, but it is unclear if he died from this or something else happened to him. For what it's worth, when Joey ranked each of the deaths from the series up to that point in a later video out-of-universe, he did not count himself from Season 4 as a death.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: He joins the Society Against Evil prior to Season 4, confirmed in a video with Ro mere days before the season premiere.

Season 1 Guests

The Renegade

Played by Shane Dawson

• All for Nothing: Had they saved Shane, he would've been killed by Marvin when the car exploded.
• Anti-Hero: We don't see much of him, but knowing the other SAE members, this is probably the case.
• Badass Biker: His introductory sound effect seems to imply this.
• Badass in Distress: He's described as a badass, but the group needs to save him in the first episode.
• Blood from the Mouth: This happens when he is poisoned, and up until his death.
• Dead Man Writing: He carries a letter with him explaining his SAE background and the precarious scenario the YouTubers are put into. When it is read by the YouTubers after his death, the episode shows the message with Shane delivering a voiceover of it.
• Gay Guy Dies First: Technically bi, but he's still first down in not just the season, but the entire series. Somewhat justified as his sexuality has nothing to do with his death.
• He Knows Too Much: Considering he is a member of the SAE intent on stopping the Evil, it's no wonder he is the first to die.
• Incurable Cough of Death: He starts coughing up blood. He dies fifteen minutes later.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a bit rude to people, but it's ultimately for the greater good.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Cited as a possible Fatal Flaw, considering he tells Sarah the maid that he knew about their Evil intentions when he catches her dragging a dead body around. It seems to not occur to him that by doing so, he's revealed himself as an SAE member and will be immediately put on the chopping block because He Knows Too Much.
• Plot-Triggering Death: His death is the first in the series and season, and proceeds to kick off the string of challenges and deaths the YouTubers go through for the rest of the night.
• Posthumous Narration: Of his letter to the rest of the YouTubers.
• Sacrificial Lamb: He's given a little bit of focus early on, but dies immediately afterwards.
• They Knew the Risks: He's a SAE member and almost certainly knew that there was a possibility of him dying, considering the letter he was carrying upon his demise.
• Too Dumb to Live: Straight up tells the maid he knows their intentions. It doesn't end well for him.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: This is of course the case when you die in the very first episode.
• Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: While we don't see much of him, Joey literally spells the trope out while talking about Shane's character.
• The World's Expert (on Getting Killed): Knows far more about what's going on than any of the guests, Joey included, and is the first to die.

The Journalist

Played by Eva Gutowski

• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Eva is the Brains to Sierra's Beauty and Lele's Brawn.
• Brainy Brunette: A genius with brown hair.
• Broken Tears: Happens to her after Timothy shoots himself in the head.
• Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Tries playing this early on so that no one will vote her in, arguing that she's the smartest of the bunch.
• Genre Savvy: She rightfully calls the maid a better suspect instead of herself for Shane's death. She also burns Joey's second invitation.
• Hypocrite: Blames Matt for Sierra's death, forgetting that she was the one who suggested voting her into the challenge in the first place.
• I Broke a Nail: Downplayed in Episode 10, as she only pointed it out and didn't express explicit pain over it.
• "I Can't Look!" Gesture: When Tim shoots himself.
• Intrepid Reporter: Considers herself one in Episode 1 as it's her role, and the 'intrepid' part is proven by her willingness to explore the Mansion in the first episode and enthusiasm in solving the mysteries in the later episodes.
• Only Sane Woman: While everyone was arguing about who killed Shane.
  Eva: Guys, what if it's not one of us and it was the maid?
  • In fact, her assumption would be the most likely candidate, or second-most likely, depending on one's views.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Goes after Matt after realising he killed Sierra.
• Russian Roulette: She goes into an death challenge with this as a basis in Episode 8. She survives.
• The Smart Guy: Before Alex Wassabi, Safiya Nygaard, and Matthew Patrick, she was the genius of the EtN cast.
• Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Defied; while she was invited back to another party by a brainwashed Joey, she immediately burned the letter, while also calling it satanic.
  Eva, upon receiving the invitation in Season 2 Episode 1: (takes out a lighter to burn invitation) Not today, Satan!
• Surrounded by Idiots: When compared to the other women in her season—Andrea, Justine, Sierra, and Lele.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Towards Matt in Episode 7, after he hits the Despair Event Horizon and starts becoming The Load. After he dies, she calms down.

The Jazz Singer

Played by GloZell Green

• Blood from the Mouth: This happens when she dies.
• Bullying a Dragon: She antagonises Joey, whom she deemed guilty of the deaths.
• Deadpan Snarker: Second biggest in the season, number one being Timothy.
• Death Wail: Not quite a loved one, per se, but when Shane died, she lets out a very loud scream.
• Doomed Contrarian: She went after Joey in Episode 4. Guess who died?
• Everyone Has Standards: While she's willing to do A LOT for money, she draws the line at murder. She's disgusted by Joey, whom she believed to be behind the murders.
• Evil Cripple: Though evil is pushing it, she can be extremely rude and walks with a cane. During filming, GloZell had a leg injury.
• Evil Laugh: A short but satisfying one after Sierra asks who voted Joey into the challenge.
• Foil: With Lele; both are Large Hams with Hair-Trigger Tempers and have a habit of causing drama. Lele, however, slowly becomes a bit friendlier with her peers while GloZell becomes more arrogant.
• Fat Bastard: She's a little chubby and extremely arrogant.
• Gold Digger: She allegedly wanted to marry Joey in-universe so she can take the riches the house has to offer in Episode 1. Even if this were to be the case, it likely wouldn't have worked out.
• It's All About Me: “I’m the Jazz Singer here, sweetheart. And I don’t do duets!”.
• Jerkass Has a Point: As rude as she brings it, she's not entirely wrong about Joey and Justine looking suspicious. Doesn't excuse her bullying, though.
• Karmic Death: Her bullying of Joey makes people feel less sad when he writes her name down in the murder journal.
• Kick the Dog: Almost the entirety of Episode 4 towards Joey, considering the poor man was grieving the death of his close friend whom everyone had murdered just an hour prior.
• Knight Templar: GloZell seems to genuinely believe that Joey and Justine are evil, and thinks that solving all the puzzles is a waste of time. As soon as she hears that people must die in order for others to escape, she proposes killing someone on the spot.
• Large Ham: GloZell has a loud and dramatic streak throughout all her appearances—even as she died.
• Lack of Empathy: Her response to Joey falling into a Heroic BSoD after everyone bands together against his wishes to kill Justine is to claim he's faking it, verbally assault him without provocation, and ultimately vote him into another "two enter, one leaves" life-or-death competition and laugh about it. This heavily contributes to Joey deciding to kill her when he gets the opportunity.
• Laser-Guided Karma: She spends an entire episode bullying Joey and has a ton of Kick the Dog moments before voting Joey into a challenge. Then, Joey gets to decide who to kill.
• Only in It for the Money: She puts up a good act to entertain Joey, so she can marry him and take the money, according to Episode 1.
• Plucky Comic Relief: In the beginning, she's always cracking jokes. In later episodes, she still cracks some one liners, but not nearly as many as before.
• Sassy Black Woman: Her hilarious and oftentimes snarky comments are what won the fans' hearts.
• Shoo Out the Clowns: When the plot becomes darker, GloZell falls out of focus, she briefly returns to the centre of the plot, but is much less comedic and more unpleasant. After that, she dies and the plot becomes incredibly dark.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: One way to see her, but it's hinted that she wasn't a very friendly person to begin with.
• Undignified Death: As Tim so kindly pointed out, she twerk-died.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: One way to explain her behaviour; she wants the Evil of the Mansion gone just as much as everyone else, and decides to aggro on those she believes to be affiliated with the Evil.

The Big Game Hunter

Played by Oli White

• Apologetic Attacker: Oli continues to apologise even as he's throwing dirt on Justine's coffin. He's notably the only one to do so, since everyone else says I Was Just Following Orders.
• Beware the Nice Ones: After burying Justine, he takes his anger out on the seemingly useless wooden box. He cracks its open with one hit.
• The Big Guy: Tends to do literal heavy lifting and smashing when it's needed.
• British Stuffiness: While he has moments where he panics or is weirded out, he usually tries to act very composed and serious. Tries.
• Butt-Monkey: In later episodes, Oli is the butt of many jokes made by Tim and Lele and even Arthur.
• The Comically Serious: Combined with British Stuffiness, Oli seems unamused by Andrea's Cloudcuckoolander antics, Sierra's Straw Feminism and especially Timothy's Casanova Wannabe attempts.
• Cowardly Lion: Oli is a big and strong guy, but he’ll only use violence as a last resort, he’d rather settle things peacefully.
• Electric Torture: He went into the Death Challenge in Episode 9. He survived.
• Friendly Sniper: He's great with a gun but one of the nicest guys in the show.
• The Generic Guy: Compared to some of the cloudcuckoolanders in the cast, Oli stands out as being very down-to-earth.
• Genius Bruiser: Don't make the mistake thinking he's just a Dumb Muscle because he's a bit of a softie.
• Gentle Giant: The Big Guy with a heart of gold.
• Gentleman Adventurer: His role is the Big Game Hunter, but he is also extremely gentle.
• Great White Hunter: His designated role, and he's very much a Nice Guy.
• The Heart: Some believe that he is the first male cinnamon roll to enter the series.
• Heroic BSoD: Oli is extremely paranoid in the final episode, after the group loses Lele.
• Irony: The fearsome hunter of the group is a Cowardly Lion and Nice Guy.
• Nice Guy: He's friendly, loyal and tries to keep the group together while they argue amongst themselves. He doesn't hold many grudges aside from Justine (which he immediately regrets and apologises to; he even tries to convince the others not to vote for her but he's shut down by GloZell), Joey, and Matt (both boys earned his wrath for voting him into a challenge), but even then he's relatively cool about the whole thing.
• Not So Above It All: Despite being the Only Sane Man of the bunch, he offhanded commented wanting to get Madison's number as she was freed from the Mansion.
• Only Sane Man: Seen in Episode 1, and stayed that way ever since.
  Oli, trying to calm everyone down in Episode 1: C'mon, Shane is like, dying!
  • He was also one for Team Box, when he was teamed with Matt and Lele, who began their rivalry right before his eyes. Poor guy.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Tim's red.
• Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Defied; while he was invited back to another party by Joey, he immediately ripped up the letter, before saying he will never go back to that place.
  Oli, after receiving an invitation in Season 2 Episode 1: (rips invitation apart) No, no, no! I am not! Going! To another party! By Joey. […] Last time, eight people died! Worst house party ever.
• Token Minority: The only Brit on the show. Played for Laughs when it causes some confusion after he misreads a clue about how the floor numbers are arranged, i.e. first floor/ground floor, which costs the team some much-needed time.

The Gambler / The Adventurer (S4)

Played by Justine Ezarik

• Back from the Dead: Returns to the All-Stars Season 4. Subverted in that she dies two episodes into the season.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Justine was seen as one after after she lost the first death challenge with Andrea, killing her. Whether or not she actually is, the jury is still quick to call her out and kill her.
• Break the Haughty: She wasn't the nicest person in Season 1, but her death and the built up leads to her breaking down in tears and getting a massive panic attack.
• Buried Alive: Her eventual fate in her initial season.
• Claustrophobia: Played for Drama and Horror. The elimination of Episode 3 calls for a person to be Buried Alive — one of the slowest and most painful death methods used across the entire series as a whole, and easily the most brutal one in the season. In the episode, Justine is believed to be working with the Evil by most of the cast after failing to save Andrea the previous episode and reacting rudely when confronted about the alleged Failure-to-Save Murder. As a result, Justine is near-unanimously chosen for death… after being revealed to be highly claustrophobic on Confession Cam, which only makes the elimination/death all the more painful.
• Damsel in Distress: For a portion of Season 4 Episode 1.
• Defiant to the End: She went down attempting (but sadly failing) to stab the Pharaoh.
• The Ditz: In Season 1, she self-confessed to be "stupid". It was likely self-deprecation, but either way, she was no match for Eva.
• Dumb Blonde: Downplayed because she considers herself an "idiot" but… she's not that dumb, she's just not as quick-minded as some, which put her at a disadvantage when compared with her competitors.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Aside from Joey, no one thinks too highly of Justine.
• The Gambler: Her literal role in Season 1. She alludes to it during the party-scene at the start before the plot kicks off and people start dying.
• Genre Savvy: In Season 4, she is the only one to try and escape her horrible fate; first she tries running, and later she grabs a knife and begins to stab the monster attacking her. Justified as this takes place in an All-Stars season, where she had partaken in a previous season.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Blonde and, despite what most of the cast thought, relatively innocent when compared with other cast members.
• High-Class Gloves: Has a nice pair that she didn't take off until halfway through her challenge to save Andrea.
• Idiot Ball/Jerkass Ball: Her speech about killing Andrea was extremely dumb and extremely rude, then again, she never was the brightest of the bunch.
• Neck Snap: When she was Killed Off for Real in Season 4 Episode 2.
• Red Herring: Everyone believes she's The Mole after she says rude things about Andrea, who she was supposed to save.
• Revenge: Implied to be her motive for Season 4, but she couldn't exactly carry it out.
• Small Role, Big Impact: She doesn't last very long in the first season, but her actions affect the group in a lot of ways. Most notably, Joey becomes much less friendly and trustworthy after her death and develops into the backstabbing Jerk with a Heart of Gold he is in later seasons.
• Team Mom: Tries to be this, to little success.
• Took a Level in Badass: While she did not go gentle in Season 1, in Season 4, she proceeds to attack the monster instead of running away. She's the first and so far only YouTuber to do so.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: She is an early boot in BOTH seasons she competes in. She does get enough characterisation and is a pretty prominent player in the earlier episodes.

The Fixer

Played by Andrea Brooks

• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: She comes across as this.
• Ditzy Genius: She's quite The Ditz, but is smarter then she lets on, considering she's the one to find one of the books required to unlock a vital clue.
• Gas Chamber: How she dies in Episode 2.
• Horrible Judge of Character: Andrea should have known better then to put her life in the hands of Justine.
• Informed Ability: She is very resourceful, at making bodies disappear...
• Locked Out of the Loop: Thanks to her early demise, she misses out on a lot of twists and turns, such as being the only one in the group NOT to realise that there's a mole among them.
• Meaningful Background Event: In group scenes, she's always standing next to Timothy; it's later revealed they were close friends before the show and care very much about each other. This becomes a plot point when Tim starts to blame Justine for her death.
• Out of Focus: Gets the least amount of characterisation out of the guests. To be fair, she died on the second episode.
• Platonic Life-Partners: With Tim. He is notably affected by her death.
• The Quiet One: Only has a few lines.
• Red Shirt: Considered this by some of the fandom, considering her early demise.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: Downplayed. While not the first to die, she's mostly quiet and doesn't get a lot of focus. We do learn more about her in behind the scenes and after she dies.

The Professor

Played by Matt Haag

• Break the Haughty: He's tasked with a Sadistic Choice, screws it up, and ends up accidentally killing a friend. The others all turn their back on him and he's being made very clear that no one wants him to survive.
• Broken Bird: After he survives Episode 6, he loses all hope and becomes only a shell of his former self.
• Characterisation Marches On: Matt is initially an Insufferable Genius with No Social Skills, but in later episodes he's a Know-Nothing Know-It-All and full on Jerkass.
• Cheaters Never Prosper: Attempts to cheat and manipulate his way through his challenge with Tim in Episode 7. Not only does Timothy catch him multiple times, Matt becomes overconfident in his own skill and dies almost immediately afterwards.
• Death Seeker: Matt, getting tired of the team's lack of progress, the constant bullying at the hands of Lele and Eva and his failure to save Sierra, became one in his final episode. He suddenly acts like a massive douchebag towards everyone, even his friends. Joey later confirmed out-of-universe Matt tried to quit the show and he acted like a jerk so he knew that he'd die in this episode.
• Despair Event Horizon: Reaches one after he accidentally kills Sierra, after not reading the instructions properly after he got voted into a death challenge with her.
• Dirty Coward: Becomes one come Episodes 6-7, to the point where everyone unanimously rejoices when he dies.
• Entitled Bastard: After everything he's done in Episode 7, he still sounds surprised when everyone turns their backs to him.
• Failure Hero: Attempts to sacrifice himself to save Sierra, but ends up killing her instead.
• Foil: Lele and Matt are this to each other; Lele is more physical while Matt is more intellectual, Lele becomes friendlier while Matt becomes more of a dick.
• The Friend No One Likes: In Episode 6, everyone except for Timothy starts to hate him, with Eva and Lele despising him the most.
• Hate Sink: Becomes one in Episode 7, where he refuses to lift a finger to help and makes many rude comments towards his teammates for no reason other then to piss them off.
• Idiot Ball/Jerkass Ball: Not reading the full note for his first death challenge in Episode 6 and his behaviour afterwards.
• Innocently Insensitive: He tried to help the girls out in Episode 5 but instead they assume he thinks that they're weak. Hilariously, Matt gets captured by the guardian afterwards because the girls refuse to help him out.
• Insufferable Genius: He quickly establishes himself as an intelligent individual who is good at finding clues and solving puzzles, but not nearly as good as he himself likes to think.
• Jerkass: Becomes one in the later episodes, shame since he started out as a Nice Guy.
• Jerkass Has a Point: His suspicions about Lele were reasonable early on, but it quickly turned into a petty rivalry rather then actually mistrusting each other.
• Kick the Dog: When Lele volunteers to jump into the pool, he starts throwing perverted comments at her. Shortly afterwards, he's genuinely impressed and begins to compliment her.
• Know-Nothing Know-It-All: After his Despair Event Horizon, Matt loses the genius part but becomes a lot more insufferable.
• The Load: Becomes one in Episode 7 after reaching his Despair Event Horizon, refusing to help everyone else find clues as he believes that they're all doomed by that point.
• Mistaken for Misogynist: By Sierra, Eva and Lele when he mentions the girls won't run fast enough on their heels. Matt defends himself saying he was only trying to protect them.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Didn't feel too great after he fails to read the instructions fully and killed Sierra, so much so that he backed away a lot from the challenges the next episode.
• Never My Fault: Averted, he actually apologises to Lele multiple times and tries to make amends but she's having none of it. Also, in a Pet the Dog moment, he takes full responsibility for Sierra's death.
• No Social Skills: Mild example, he admits he doesn't go out much and acts very awkward and out of place before everything goes down. Afterwards, he makes enemies with the girls after he accidentally insults them.
• Only Friend: Timothy is the only one who puts up with the broken Matt in Episode 7.
• Pet the Dog: When Lele jumps into the pool, Matt begins to encourage her and cheer for her. He even admits that he was wrong about her being The Mole. He gets it immediately after his Kick the Dog moment.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gets a pretty bad one from Eva in Episode 7.
• The Rival: Has one with Lele, they often bicker over the smallest things and are constantly plotting to get rid of each other.
• Sadistic Choice: Specifically a Suicidal Sadistic Choice, to sacrifice himself or to kill Sierra in the exorcism. Defied because he didn't read the note carefully and killed the poor girl.
• The Scrappy: He's this in-universe, because practically all of the guests hate his guts by Episode 6, with exception of Timothy.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Frequently rants on about certain clues to the point where no one can follow what he's talking about.
• Sitcom Archnemesis: Towards Lele.
• The Smart Guy: One of the best clue finders of his season, however, he tends to overestimate his importance to the team, as Eva proves to be just as smart as him.
• Smug Snake: As intelligent as he is, he can be overconfident, as shown in episodes 4 and 7, even his final words are him smugly telling Tim he’s won.
• The Sociopath: According to Eva, but it's unlikely for him to actually be one, considering his Survivor's Guilt.
• Straw Nihilist: After he murders Sierra, he becomes this in Episode 7.
• Surrounded by Idiots: He likes to think of himself as being smarter then everyone else. He refuses to help them and tells them that without his help, they'll never make it out of the house.
• Survivor's Guilt: At the end of Episode 6 and throughout most of episode 7.
• Techno Babble: He likes to theorise out loud, the others find it annoying but it does help them find clues.
• Took a Level in Cynic: After killing Sierra, he gives up hope and develops some Straw Nihilist tendencies.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: After accidentally killing Sierra, he becomes very frustrated and makes this known to everyone else, to everyone else's frustration to the point pretty much no one mourned his death.
• Worthy Opponent: Considers Timothy one during their challenge.

The Heiress

Played by Sierra Furtado

• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Sierra is the Beauty, to Eva's Brains and Lele's Brawn.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: According to a fan analysis, she's at least partially responsible for four deaths, the second-most out of all the contestants of her season. Namely, it cites that she fails to do her part to save Shane, she votes for Andrea to enter the death challenge, she is among the group who chose to betray Justine, and her death caused Matt to hit the DEH and lose everyone else's support.
• Brainless Beauty: She's on of the least useful characters in the show, but she's very pretty.
• Comically Missing the Point: During one of Matt and Lele's arguments, Matt says, "Guess whose name I'm not going to write down?" He's obviously talking about Lele, who has just written Matt's name down, but Sierra turns around hopefully and says, "Me?"
• Cool Crown: She wears a nice tiara. Several of the guests are jealous.
• The Cutie: Timothy sure seems to think so.
• Daddy's Girl: She’s happily throwing her father’s money and status around to get what she wants.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Wants Timothy to die because his flirting makes her uncomfortable.
• The Ditz: She can't do math, sucks at puzzles and distracting guardians, and doesn't know how to read, let alone what a book is…
• Girly Girl: She's the most feminine of all the girls.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can come off as incredibly snobby, but would never hurt a fly.
• The Load: Not only does she complain rather then help out, she also slows the team down on several points and proves to be completely useless when it comes to solving clues.
• The Quiet One: She doesn't speak up much.
• Rich Bitch: She's rude, lazy and has never worked for anything in her life, in her in-universe backstory. It shows.
• Ship Tease: A LOT, mostly with Timothy but also a little with Matt.
• Spoiled Brat: Always complaining and not very useful when it comes to... anything.
• Straw Feminist: She tells the girls that they need to work together to kill off the men after three girls have died in a row, not only do both men going into the challenge survive, but Sierra herself was next on death's list.
• Tears of Fear: When she's forced to go into the challenge, she begins to cry.
• Too Dumb to Live: After Shane dies of poisonous food, Sierra continues eating. She's lucky only Shane's food was poisoned.
• Took a Level in Dumbass: She starts off as The Ditz, but still has her moments of usefulness. She becomes more and more fragile and less and less useful as the show goes on.
• Ungrateful Bitch: To Timothy, who wants to escape with her; she instead rats him out and tries to get him killed the next episode.
• Upper-Class Twit: She's inherited her wealth and is kind of an idiot in-universe.
• Valley Girl: Not extremely prominent, but she vaguely speaks like one and is a bit of a Brainless Beauty.

The Hustler

Played by Lele Pons

• Action Girl: She dives into the pool, shoves Matt into a couch, and is the most physical out of them all.
• Ambiguously Bi: In Episode 7, she shows interest in the mermaids; in Episode 8, she's gushing over Colin.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Lele is the Brawn to Sierra's Beauty and Eva's Brains.
• Braids of Action: Switches up her hairstyle after taking a dip in the nearby pool to unchain some corpses, from a bun to a braid, as of Episode 8. She's also one of the closest equivalents to an Action Girl in the ETN-universe, at least among the YouTubers.
• Brutal Honesty: She often expresses her opinions in a very blunt manner, rubbing many people (particularly Matt) the wrong way.
• Catchphrase: "Shut up, Matt."
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Just about everyone thinks she's got more then a few screws loose. The cast definitely thinks of her as the craziest YouTuber—Shane, Andrea, Justine, GloZell, Sierra, Matt, Timothy, Eva and Oli all immediately say her name when asked who is the craziest cast member.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Was electric torture over the course of half an hour, in addition to a High-Voltage Death afterward really necessary?
• Curse Cut Short: On Confession Cam, when she was picked for the death challenge in Episode 9.
  Lele: My name gets picked, motherfu-!
• Drama Queen: Joey describes her as one.
• Dumb Blonde: Subverted, she seems to be a Brainless Beauty, but shows some Hidden Depths while solving riddles in episode 8.
• Electric Torture: She's subjected to this during a sadistic variation of Ring Toss in the final death challenge of Episode 9, and this is ultimately how she dies.
• Foil: She and Matt are this to each other; Lele is more physical while Matt is more intellectual, Lele becomes friendlier while Matt becomes more of a dick.
• Gold Digger: In-universe, she claims interest in Joey for having the Mansion to his name.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Lele often snaps at the other guests and even non-guest characters for taking too long.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Unintentional, but she decides to put her own name into the hat. Then, she gets picked and is electrocuted during the challenge.
• High-Voltage Death: She gets electrocuted in an electric chair.
• Hooker with a Heart of Gold: She warms up to people and has one of the most honourable yet painful deaths in the series, and her role is the Hustler.
• Hot-Blooded: She's fiery and passionate.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be incredibly rude to some people, especially Matt, but is a good person at heart.
• Lovable Alpha Bitch: She can be quite rude towards some people (especially Matt), but is good-hearted and a fan favourite.
• Lovable Pervert: By her own account.
  Lele: I don't mind playing these perverted games... I don't mind them.
• Ms. Fanservice: She isn't called the Hustler for nothing.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: Does this to Matt in Episode 8. After everyone begins to have a harder time voting on each other since they all get along so well, Lele admits that she loved everyone in the group. Except Matt.
• My God, What Have I Done?: After Eva goes into the challenge in Episode 8, Lele avoids eye contact and feels horrible, especially after Eva starts to accuse Joey of voting her in.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: She decides to vote on herself because she doesn't want to vote on her friends. Then, she goes into the challenge and suffers a brutal death via Electric Torture.
• Odd Friendship: Who would expect a hustler and an heiress to become the best of friends?
• Only in It for the Money: She's only interested in Joey because of his house; after Episode 1, this mostly disappears, but in Episode 4, she quickly steals some jewelry.
• Really Gets Around: Her character, which results in her flirting with, of all people, the mermaids and Colin. She has a thing for dangerous people, doesn't she?
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Matt after he starts accusing her of killing GloZell.
• Sitcom Archnemesis: Towards Matt.
• Sour Supporter: She’s not always enthusiastic about the group’s plans, but unlike Matt, she still helps her team.
• Spicy Latina: Hot-Blooded and she does get a bit of fanservice from the pool scene in Episode 7.
• Took a Level in Kindness: She realizes she has hated on a lot of people (Matt and Tim in particular), and tries to act more friendly. Instead of insulting Vincent, she tries to calm him down and comfort him. When Oli is about to be eliminated from a game, Lele tries to sacrifice herself for Oli. She also comes up with the idea to vote on themselves since she doesn't want to be responsible for their deaths.
• Vasquez Always Dies: She's the most action-orientated girl in the cast and dies a horrifyingly painful death.

The Mobster / The Con Man (S4)

Played by Timothy DeLaGhetto

• Abhorrent Admirer: To Sierra and Lele, but also pretty much every other woman he comes across.
• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: In stark contrast to Season 1, he begs and pleads for his life in Season 4. it doesn't work.
• The Alcoholic: Frequently drinks from his own bottle in Episode 2 of Season 4.
• Armor-Piercing Question: He asks the group why everyone in the 1920s (does it again in Season 4) loves puzzles so much. Everyone agrees in response that that's a good question and that they hate riddles.
• Asian and Nerdy: Parodied when he mentions he's "got this" while solving a puzzle in Season 1 Episode 1 due to being Asian. In Season 1, he's also played this trope somewhat straight as he's smarter than what his Casanova Wannabe tendencies come across as, and he does solve the aforementioned puzzle from the first episode correctly. He unfortunately Took a Level in Dumbass in Season 4.
• Back from the Dead: Makes a return in Season 4. Then he proceeds to get killed off in Episode 3 of the season in a subversion of the trope, greatly contrasting his initial season where he lives for eight episodes.
• Berserk Button: Don't mess with his friends, Andrea in particular.
• Boom, Headshot!: During a game of Russian Roulette against Eva in Season 1 Episode 8.
• Break the Comedian: Timothy is a wisecracking and mostly upbeat guy in the first season, however, he becomes a Stepford Smiler as the season continues. First he loses his best friend Andrea, which causes him to go after Justine to get Revenge. Then he loses Sierra, causing him to quietly stare at nothing whilst everyone else begins to argue. Then he loses Matt, which he attempts to gloss over, as Matt wasn’t very popular with the others. And finally Joey stabs him in the back and he’s forced to play a deadly game of Russian Roulette.
• Casanova Wannabe: Probably the biggest one out of the entire show, considering he flirts with just about every woman he comes across.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He comes across like this in Season 4, where even Tana of all people is unsure whether Tim completely knows what he's doing. Fan speculation goes that Timothy was handling his revival by drinking a lot of alcohol—he was constantly seen drinking from a bottle—and was drunk while looking for clues, which might explain why he acts so weird and tired.
• Deadpan Snarker: When he's not hitting on girls, he's making witty comments about whatever the group is doing.
• The Don: His role in Season 1.
  • Con Man: His role in Season 4.
• Driven to Suicide: The loss of three close friends, the betrayal of Joey, and Eva's terrified reaction leads to Tim faking a hit and Taking the Bullet for Eva in Season 1.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Ultimately downplayed as none of the YouTubers are truly evil, just morally ambiguous at best.
  • Sure, he had no problem stealing Shane's wallet and burying Justine alive, but even he finds DeStorm a massive jerk at the end of Season 4 Episode 3. He even calls DeStorm evil after he mocks him for losing the challenge, before that, he calls him the devil.
  • To a lesser extent, but in Season 1 Episode 2, he says he only kills people for business and not for pleasure.
• Funny Background Event: He talks about stealing Shane's wallet in Season 1 Episode 1. When everyone is inspecting Shane's body, if you look closely Tim can be seen taking Shane's wallet out of his pocket. Lampshaded during his segment during Season 1 Episode 11, with a replay of the shot, with emphasis on Tim taking the wallet.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Showcased especially during the challenge in Season 1 Episode 5, where he starts attacking and shouting at the carnival spectators.
• Heroic B So D: After the deaths of Andrea, Sierra and Matt he suffers a short one, but gets over them pretty quickly. He finally snaps after being voted into a death challenge for the third time.
• Heroic Sacrifice: After Eva misses a target, Tim says she hit him, and decides to shoot himself in the head. While ambiguous in the show, Timothy later confirmed it on his social media.
• I Need a Freaking Drink: Does this a lot in Season 4, especially after he and DeStorm go into the final death challenge.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He has no problem stealing wallets and killing people for business, but he quickly bonds with the other guests and is upset at almost all their deaths. It's implied he sacrificed himself for Eva and was the only one standing up for Matt after his breakdown.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Timothy, notorious for his Sticky Fingers, realises in his final seconds that his former ally DeStorm stole his wallet.
• The Load: Downplayed in Season 1, where he'a not as useful as the others but still helps from time to time. Played straight in Season 4, where he's best described as dead weight.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: He has two things on his mind: 1) stealing people's wallets, and 2) flirting with every girl he comes across.
• Meaningful Background Event: In Season 4, he is seen drinking from a bottle very frequently and his mannerisms are a bit off.
• Nice Guy: He boasts about being a crime lord and can be a bit of a jerk at times, but when it comes down to it, he easily befriends every guest he meets and keeps a positive attitude throughout the entire night.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
  • Tim briefly drops the friendly and comedic demeanour after Andrea dies in Season 1 Episode 2. He gives Justine a "The Reason You Suck" Speech and starts a friction in the group. He calms down after Justine dies.
  • After Sierra and Matt are voted into the challenge, Tim can be seen looking very upset in the background, worrying about his friends fates.
  • When it becomes clear there's no way he and Eva survive the death challenge together, he decides to pull a Heroic Sacrifice to save Eva.
• Pet the Dog: The only person to not hate Matt, even after he accidentally killed Sierra, who Timothy may have had a crush on. During the death challenge, they remain friendly towards each other.
• Platonic Life-Partners: With Andrea. He is understandably upset when she dies and starts lashing out at the person he deems responsible for Andrea's death.
• Plucky Comic Relief: He becomes this after GloZell dies.
• The Pollyanna: Never gives up hope of going home or surviving challenges. After he realises he playing Russian Roulette against Eva, he seems to lose all hope and performs a Heroic Sacrifice.
• Purely Aesthetic Glasses: He wears a pair in Season 4.
• Really Gets Around: Downplayed; he has a tendency to flirt with a lot of the women in Season 1 — even the mermaid.
• Running Gag: Timothy keeps losing his wallets in Season 1. Also, Tim thinks every (other) woman the group comes across is hot. Somehow, the former persists to Season 4.
  Tim, part of his last words, in Season 4 Episode 3: And you stole my wallet!
• Professional Butt-Kisser: Seems to do this a lot around DeStorm in Season 4.
• Russian Roulette: It ends up being the cause of his death in Season 1.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Tries to do this in Season 1 Episode 4 with Sierra, but it fails.
• Shipper on Deck: Believing in Belligerent Sexual Tension, Tim ships Matt and Lele and actively tries to get them to stop bickering.
• Ship Tease: With all the girls of Season 1, but especially Sierra.
• Slimeball: His main personality in Season 4.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He's not nearly as tough or respected as he likes to think he is.
• Smug Snake: Especially in the earlier episodes of Season 1, but he becomes better later on.
• Sticky Fingers: Timothy steals Shane’s wallet off his corpse. In his introduction trailer in season 4, Timothy steals a shiny oil lamp.
• Token Evil Teammate: Downplayed, but he plays villainous roles in both seasons. In reality, he's a Nice Guy.
• Took a Level in Dumbass: In Season 1, he was shown to be more capable then given credit for; in Season 4, he becomes The Load and seems more interested in flirting then getting out alive.
• Villainous Friendship: He and DeStorm because they knew each other before they died. They quickly bond and are the most "villainous" guests, but Timothy is a lot less of a jerk then DeStorm, and their friendship ends when they're put into a death challenge against each other.

Season 2 Guests

The Novelist / The Aviator (S4)

Played by Alex Wassabi

• All Webbed Up: Happens in Season 2 Episode 3 when he gets captured by the spider-woman villains of the episode.
• Arch-Enemy: DeStorm in Season 2, as Alex blames him for Lauren's death. They make up in Season 4.
• Asian and Nerdy: The Smart Guy of the group in Season 2, and has Asian blood.
• Back from the Dead: Brought back for a second chance at life in Season 4. He still dies in Episode 8 of the season though, making this a subversion.
• Big Eater: In Season 2 Episode 5. In an episode full of Big Eaters with Sweet Teeth, he really stands out. He doesn't hesitate when offered hot cocoa by the episode's antagonist and even doubles back into a room to retrieve a candy bowl.
• The Big Guy: Especially in Season 4, where he Took a Level in Dumbass and no longer acts as a Genius Bruiser.
• Broken Ace: In Season 2, being smart, talented, strong, good-hearted... except that good heart got broken when his girlfriend died two episodes into their debut season.
• Broken Bird: In Season 2, he immediately loses his girlfriend and it really affects him.
• Butt-Monkey: Has it the roughest out of anyone in Season 2. In Season 4, he's constantly getting captured.
• Can't Kill You, Still Need You: The group considers him too helpful and instead votes for his girlfriend Lauren. Alex begged for them to vote for him, but all except Jesse ignored his request.
• Casanova Wannabe: Briefly, in Season 4. First the Arabic dancers, then Jezebel.
• The Chew Toy: He's this in both seasons. In season 2, he goes through a Trauma Conga Line, losing all of his friends and becoming a Death Seeker. In season 4, he is constantly getting captured by monsters and flunks nearly every challenge.
• Chick Magnet: Jorogumo, Liza, and the pirate girl from Season 4 and more seem to take an interest in Alex, on top of him already being in a relationship during Season 2.
• Death Seeker: Implied; he volunteers for almost every challenge in Season 2. Possible because he misses Lauren.
• Distressed Dude: He gets captured by the Monster of the Week in Season 2 Episode 3, Season 4 Episode 1, and Season 4 Episode 6. Sounds like a recurring event now.
• Dumb Muscle: He shows shades of this when he loses some of his skills from Season 2 and becomes more of a strong action hero. He's also constantly getting captured.
• Easily Forgiven: In Season 4 Episode 4, he returns to the heroes without much drama, even though he spent the past several episodes acting like more of a douche than he did for his entire debut season.
• Face Death with Dignity: In Season 4, he being Killed Off for Real very calmly. Those bullets sure hit us in the torso too.
  Alex: (on Confession Cam) At the end of the day, I may not have pirate's blood, but I do have a hero's heart.
• Flashback Echo: Type 5 appears in Season 4. When he continously misses on his slingshot shots in Episode 8 and lampshades on his Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy skills, a Flashback Cut to Episode 4 for when he misses his arrows on his target occurs.
• Genius Bruiser: He's very strong, but in Season 2, he displays lots of tactical skills and is the teams main puzzle solver.
• Goggles Do Nothing: In Season 4, he has a nice pair, but we don't see him pull them down over his eyes for any practical usage.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Played for Laughs in Season 4; he claims that he doesn't trust Mortimer because he was slightly better looking than himself.
• Face–Heel Turn: In Season 4, it's only temporarily.
• Heroic BSoD: After Lauren's death in Season 2 Episode 2.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He has no problem doing this for his friends in Season 2.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Tyler in Season 2.
• Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: This is repeatedly illustrated in Season 4, in that he sometimes barely even looks where he is shooting. It's one of the factors that gets him killed off for good in Episode 8 of the season.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Uses this tactic more then once in Season 4. He seems to have replaced Roi as the group's main Butt-Monkey.
• Nice Guy: Definitely was one in Season 2, being friendly and helpful to everyone except DeStorm; in Season 4, he Took a Level in Jerkass.
• Official Couple: With Lauren in Season 2. Sadly, her death put an end to their relationship.
• Revenge Before Reason: He immediately blames DeStorm for Lauren's death instead of listening to his side of the story.
• The Smart Guy: Seen as possibly the smartest of the group.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Tyler and Alex are pretty sensitive guys, Tyler being scared of almost everything and Alex crying when his girlfriend or friends die. On the other end of the coin, we have Jesse and DeStorm, the bad boys of the group who don't follow the rules.
• Smug Snake: During the earlier episodes of Season 4, when he experimented with his more "evil" side.
• Sweet Tooth: In Season 2 Episode 5. In an episode full of Big Eaters with Sweet Teeth, he really stands out. He doesn't hesitate when offered hot cocoa by the episode's antagonist and even doubles back into a room to retrieve a candy bowl.
• Take Me Instead: Asks the YouTubers that want to vote for Lauren to vote for him instead in Season 2 Episode 2. Jesse is the only one who honours this request.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: In Season 2 Episode 4 with DeStorm, as they are put on the same team for a round of Capture the Flag.
• Temporarily a Villain: In Season 4, while experimenting with his dark side.
• Took a Level in Dumbass: In Season 4. Not so with finding clues, but he's constantly charging at monsters without thinking clearly and flunks several challenges.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: He became a lot more cocky in Season 4, he also wasn't as much of a team player as he used to be. Then there was his alliance with DeStorm and him trying to act like a villain. Thankfully, he says that he'll go back to being his usual self at the end of Episode 4. The moment where he decided to go outside and try to help Tana and Gabbie with their challenge seems to imply he's back to his Season 2 self.
• Toxic Friend Influence: It's heavily implied his new attitude in Season 4 is thanks to his alliance with DeStorm.

The Explorer

Played by Liza Koshy

• Abhorrent Admirer: Liza seems to enjoy the idea of Alex being single, Alex shows no interest.
• Book Dumb: She hasn't been to college but is extremely good at finding clues.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Her Genki Girl and The Pollyanna attitude can slip into this at times in season 2.
• Damsel in Distress: She is kidnapped in the first episode of Season 2, and basically becomes this for the episode.
• Dead Person Conversation: Calls out to Joey at the end of Season 3 via the blue crystal. She tells him the guests can be revived, but they need his help.
• Defiant to the End: The Collector told her not to fight against her spear after being stabbed at the beginning of Season 4 Episode 1, but she continues her struggle.
• Genki Girl: She's energetic and fast, and a fan fave to boot.
• Motor Mouth: Has a tendency to talk really fast.
• Plucky Comic Relief: Delivers many lighthearted moments in a show full of death.
• Posthumous Character: Her only scene in Season 4 is a flashback.
• Pungeon Master: Liza makes lots of terrible puns in her short time on the show.
• Ship Tease: With Alex in Season 2. She's really happy that Alex is single (except his girlfriend kind of just died) and specifically tells him she'll save him.
• Slashed Throat: The most likely cause of her death in Season 2 Episode 5.
• Third-Person Person: Refers to herself as "The Explorer", her designated role, or "Little Brown Girl".
• Took a Level in Cynic: In her brief appearances in Seasons 3 and 4, she's no longer the funny and hyper-active girl she was before and is a lot more serious.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: By calling for Joey to help the dead and giving him a chance for atonement, she unintentionally set off the catastrophic massacre that was Season 4.
• Your Soul Is Mine!: Receives this treatment from the Collector at the beginning of Season 4 for not being in "her exhibit" (and likely communicating with her friend in the living world).

The Thespian

Played by Tyler Oakley

• Awesome Moment of Crowning: He's not quite royalty, but the moment he put on the Crown of Oblivion and broke the curse on the Victorian Era Mansion certainly qualifies.
• Deadpan Snarker: Tyler has a very dry sense of humor.
• Dirty Coward: Played for Laughs but he constantly panics as soon as danger shows up. He hides behind the girls, a curtain, or simply screams like a little girl and pees his pants.
• The Drag-Along: Always complains about everything and often needs to be pushed into doing things.
• Drama Queen: The biggest one of the group.
• Epic Fail: Tyler tries to be a leader, doesn't really work out for him.
• Foil: To Andrea Russett. Tyler's honest, kind and a Drama Queen; he survived by making alliances and being a pleasant person to be around. Andrea is a Pragmatic Hero who is The Strategist and survived by staying out of drama and shifting the blame to others who acted suspicious.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Blond and one of the most innocent survivors.
• The Leader: Tries to be this, but fails.
• The Load: Considers himself one. Hilariously, everyone else thinks Tyler's the brains of the group, implying he's much smarter than he gives himself credit for.
• Lovable Coward: He's the easiest frightened out of anyone in the Season 2 cast, but is good hearted.
• Nervous Wreck: Has a constant expression of 'shook' on his face.
• Nice Guy: Even though he's always complaining and a bit of a coward, he's still one of the kindest people in the cast and remains completely innocent at the end, having never killed (directly), backstabbed or lied to the others.
• Non-Action Guy: He sometimes organises the group and takes the lead but doesn't want to do anything physical himself.
• Non-Action Snarker: As mentioned above, he is a Lovable Coward, but often makes disparaging comments at others, especially on Confession Cam.
• Oh, Crap!: His face has a constant expression of terror and bewilderment.
• Only Sane Man: In his confessionals, he often complains about everyone else's extremely dumb decisions.
• Red Is Heroic: He wears a very nice red jacket and is a heroic Nice Guy, albeit a bit of a coward.
• Screams Like a Little Girl: Whenever he's terrified, which is almost always.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Tyler and Alex are pretty sensitive guys, Tyler being scared of almost everything and Alex crying when his girlfriend or friends die. On the other end of the coin, we have Jesse and DeStorm, the bad boys of the group who don't follow the rules.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: Everyone else seems to think Tyler is The Smart Guy of the group, and he wears a nice pair of spectacles.
• Took a Level in Badass: After Alex dies, Tyler tries to honour his friend by stepping up his game. He does his best to help out and no longer chickens out by situations.

The Engineer

Played by Lauren Riihimaki

• Deadpan Snarker: To Gabbie.
  Lauren: What did you do to help the group?
  Gabbie: I did the salting.
  Lauren: Yeah, that was some good salting. Good salting.
  Gabbie: Thank you.
  • Tana cracks up after Lauren's comment in the background.
• Devoured by the Horde: Her blood was sucked out by numerous vampires in the death challenge of Episode 2.
• The Engineer: Her literal role to fit in with her DIY works. She doesn't live long enough to prove herself as this, sadly.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Blonde and is in no way responsible for any deaths, really.
• High-Class Gloves: A nice pair to go with her gown.
• The Load: What everyone thought she would become if she stuck around longer. Granted, she did get captured pretty easily and was unable to help thanks to her gown.
• Nervous Wreck: She couldn't think while under the pressure of being in a death challenge, and even before then, she didn't volunteer to suck blood from a dead vampire's neck, because she didn't want to mess up and get everyone killed.
• Nice Girl: Downplayed, since we don't see much of her, but she seems to be this.
• Official Couple: With Alex.
• Pimped-Out Dress: A gorgeous golden gown with a fake booty to match, as it was in fashion at the time, and she rocks in it. Too bad she was Dressing to Die. Also a Deconstructed Trope since her gown was so "big and voluptuous" that she failed to hide from the Vampires in time in Episode 1, and it overall restricted her movement greatly.
• Satellite Character: Besides her relationship with Alex, she does not receive much characterisation.

The Outlaw

Played by Jesse Wellens

• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: After realising he's in trouble, he quickly begin to beg for the others to save him.
• Ambiguously Evil: Considering he's an outlaw, it's pretty obvious. Doesn't help that he also seems more amused by the situation than scared. In reality, though, he's just The Prankster.
• Asshole Victim: Played with. He betrays the group and hasn't been very useful or friendly, but he still regretted his decision and was a member of the team.
• Beard of Evil: Evil is quite a stretch, but he is an outlaw by role and is one of the more morally ambiguous members of the group.
• Blood Knight: In Episode 1, all he can think about is killing a vampire. In Episode 2, he quickly takes out his gun to solve a minor conflict, which to be honest, was a bit unnecessary.
• Break the Haughty: He's kind of a jerk but he breaks down crying after his friends abandon him to die.
• Chekhov's Gun: His handgun provided quite some drama in the beginning of Episode 4, which he had carried during earlier episodes and his intro.
• Crazy-Prepared: Brings a gun to a dinner party, jeez!
• Dirty Coward: He asks Alison if he should help her, but when the Vampire starts to attack her, he quickly backs down and hides behind a curtain. He also begs the group to save him and seems absolutely terrified of Jorogumo.
• Didn't Think This Through: He leaves the group with DeStorm but soon realises that this isn't a very smart idea. It costs him his life.
• Eaten Alive: By Jorogumo, how he died in Episode 3.
• Face Death with Despair: Jesse noticeably drops the ‘tough guy’ attitude and begins to sob when he’s about to be eaten by Jorogumo.
• The Gunslinger: Wields a nice handgun, though he never used it… in person.
• Honor Before Reason:
  • Jesse was going to vote for Lauren, but voted for Alex instead to honour his request to Take Me Instead.
  • A meta exaple; in real life, Jesse was asked to come back in Episode 8 for a revival, but turned it down, presumably thinking that he lost fair and square. This led to Jesse not being asked for Season 4, much to his dismay.
• Lust: Declared his Fatal Flaw by several members of the fandom. As they term it, he "thought with his libido instead of his brain".
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Although way less prominent than DeStorm, he acts like a jerk towards the group and when he's captured, no one really misses him. However, he has no problem working together with the group and actually regrets abandoning them. Then, there's also him voting for Alex instead of Lauren to honour his request to Take Me Instead.
• Laser-Guided Karma: He leaves the group because he's done with saving people. Shortly afterwards, he begs the group to save him.
• Pet the Dog: He decides to vote for Alex instead of Lauren like Alex requested.
• The Quiet One: He tries to stay out of drama and goes by relatively unnoticed for the majority of the show.
• Red Shirt: Considered this by some of the fandom, considering he doesn't live very long.
• Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: After being the done with the whole 'saving someone' crap, he decides to leave the group.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Tyler and Alex are pretty sensitive guys, Tyler being scared of almost everything and Alex crying when his girlfriend or friends die. On the other end of the coin, we have Jesse and DeStorm, the bad boys of the group who don't follow the rules.
• Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He's pretty attractive, tall and dressed completely in black.
• Token Evil Teammate: He's an outlaw and has notably less morals then his teammates.
• Too Dumb to Live: Decides to leave the group with DeStorm, presumably for lack of action even though he knows that it's dangerous considering that they just saw Alex get kidnapped and the entire place is full with Evil. Even dumber that when he has been captured and finally realizes that he makes a mistake, he starts to beg the group to save him. It doesn't help him.
• Villainous Friendship: With DeStorm. Well, as villainous as a YouTuber can be.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: Discusses the Black Guy Dies First trope with DeStorm in Episode 1, not knowing that not only would DeStorm win the first death challenge of the season, but would also outlive him.

The Saloon Girl / The Pin-Up Girl (S4)

Played by Tana Mongeau

• Back from the Dead: Many fans didn't anticipate her return in Season 4, but still. Sadly, she dies halfway through the episode in a twist, making this a tragic subversion. The trope was almost double subverted, but ultimately the group doesn't choose to bring her back a second time.
• Beta Bitch: To Gabbie's Alpha Bitch. Tana's the not-so-bright and friendlier one of the duo.
• Brainless Beauty: Gives off this impression at first to DeStorm.
• Butt-Monkey: No one seems to think highly of her. In Season 2, this made sense due to her lack of assertiveness, but luckily she returns and shows everyone just how capable she is.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: She's often looked down upon by others for being The Ditz. But when she's given control of the situation, she shows that she's more then just a pretty face.
• Damsel in Distress: For a portion of Season 4 Episode 2.
• Decoy Protagonist: She was a big and prominent player early on in Season 4, having the most character development and getting a lot of screen time. The first two episodes even have her as the main focus. Then, she's unceremoniously killed off halfway through to bring down the group's morale.
• The Ditz: While she isn't nearly as much of a Brainless Beauty as everyone thinks, she still has her moments.
• Gutted Like a Fish: The guardian to the Path of Betrayal sliced her in the stomach in Season 2.
• The Heart: It's obvious that she's the kindest one of the bunch in Season 2, possibly excluding Lauren.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: She thought that she wouldn't win the challenge against Justine.
• Hidden Depths: At first, DeStorm thought of her as a Brainless Beauty, but spending time with her in Season 4 revealed her full potential to him (i.e. she found a lot of clues). She also knows how to read mirror handwriting, a skill that came in handy in Season 4 Episode 5.
• Improvised Weapon: Not quite a weapon, per se, but she definitely threw a lollipop at the Sorceress in Season 2 Episode 5.
• The Load: Everyone thinks of her as this, but Season 4 makes it clear that she's NOT to be underestimated.
• Look Behind You: Invokes this to throw away some disgusting dumplings in Season 4 Episode 4.
• Motor Mouth: According to Bretman, this was her main flaw — he suggested to revive her, but pointed out they would have to tape her mouth shut.
• Nice Girl: She feels absolutely terrible after voting Lauren into the challenge and refuses to order the mummy to kill Justine.
• Shameless Fanservice Girl: She has no qualms showing off her body. Even in Season 4.
• Tempting Fate: When she and Gabbie were entering the Season 4 Episode 5 challenge, she hoped that both of them would come out alive, like the last time they had participated in a challenge against each other back in Season 2 Episode 3. The kicker? Both of them died.
• This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Tana just so happens to be able to read backwards very fast. This must've been the only time it actually got in handy.
• Those Two Girls: With Gabbie, they seem to be very close in season 2 and even die together in season 4.
• Took a Level in Badass: In Season 4, she becomes more assertive and finds more clues. She also wins her challenge as opposed to flunking in it in Season 2. Her increased helpfulness is also a major factor for when she became an option for revival.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly girl to Gabbie's tomboy.
• Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Considered this by some of the fandom, as she's very much a Nice Girl.
• Trademark Favourite Food: Lollipops, goes with her sweet and innocent personality.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Gabbie, they often bicker, but they do care deeply about each other.

The Mystic

Played by Andrea Russett

• The Chessmaster: She's a talented schemer.
• Foil: To Tyler. Tyler's honest, kind and a Drama Queen; he survived by making alliances and being a pleasant person to be around. Andrea is a Pragmatic Hero who is The Strategist and survived by staying out of drama and shifting the blame to others who acted suspicious.
• Ironic Nickname: She's a Mystic who fears ghosts and possessions. Lampshaded in Episode 12, behind the scenes, during her introductory segment.
• It's All About Me: Discussed between her and Joey.
  Andrea: (regarding the Sorceress painting) That looks like me a little bit.
  Joey: No, it doesn't! Not everything is about you!
  Andrea: But it is.
• Jerkass Has a Point: Though she is often considered ruthless and pragmatic to the point of jerkassery, she often gives good reasoning to justify her shadier choices.
• Lack of Empathy: Played for Laughs. While Tyler celebrates saving a group of children, Andrea mutters she'd rather save herself first.
• Pet the Dog: She gets along very well with Tyler and defends him multiple times in arguments.
• Pragmatic Hero: She's definitely one, especially in comparison with her companions.
• The Quiet One: Her main tactic in Season 2.
• Shoot the Dog: When she smashed Tana's tablet in Episode 6, dooming the girl.
• The Strategist: She thinks very carefully about every move she makes.
• Surrounded by Idiots: She doesn't seem to think much of her other guests, especially Gabbie and Tana.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: She doesn't get along very well with most of the cast.
• The Unfettered: Whilst not as ruthless as Nikita, she noticeably has less scruples about killing someone or leaving others to die for her to escape.

The Railroad Tycoon / The Enforcer (S4)

Played by DeStorm Power

• Aloof Ally: Has a tendency to work alone, and doesn't trust easily.
• Arch-Enemy: With Alex in Season 2, as Alex blames him for Lauren's death. They make up in Season 4 Episode 3.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: In Season 2, he is always bragging about how smart he was despite not showing much skills after Episode 2. Season 4 takes it up a notch, but at least now he has the skills to show it.
• Asshole Victim: Undoubtedly the most hated out by the audience out of all the guests in Season 2 due to his Jerkass tendencies. His death seemed to be more of a relief to the audience, considering his behavior during the episodes he was in. This makes a turnaround in Season 4, when he Took a Level in Kindness, and it's heavily implied that he performed a Heroic Sacrifice for his second death.
• Back from the Dead: He returns in Season 4 as an All-Star. Subverted when he dies four episodes in... again.
• Bait-and-Switch: He appears to take all of Alex's coins in Season 4 Episode 3, then proceeds to switch out their coin pouches for one another, dooming himself to the challenge that episode.
• Beard of Evil: He's quite petty and Hated by All in Season 2, and has a beard. Season 4 subverts this gradually as he Took a Level in Kindness.
• Big Bad Wannabe: He seems more interested in joining the villains than defeating them in Season 2.
• Black Guy Dies First: Defied after he survived the first death challenge of his first season. He's familiar with the trope considering the annoyed reaction he has when Jesse brings up that he'll probably be the first to die.
• Blatant Lies:
  • After he encourages the Vampires to kill Lauren in Season 2 Episode 2, he tells the group that he did everything to save her.
  • Does it again in Season 4 Episode 3 when asked how many coins he collected. DeStorm doesn't want anyone to know he had the lowest amount of coins.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: In Season 2 Episode 3, he says that Alex looked sad and disappointed to see him alive. He then does an impression of Alex before turning to the camera, saying that he's still alive.
• The Bully: Loves to taunt the other guests, especially Alex.
• Card-Carrying Jerkass: Takes immense pleasure in being an asshole and wastes no time in showing this to his teammates, acting as aloof and crude as he can.
• The Comically Serious: In Season 4, his evil side is toned down and more Played for Laughs than for drama.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: His role in Season 2, though not necessarily corrupt.
• Death Equals Redemption: His sacrifice in Season 4 was meant to be this.
• Dirty Cop: Played With. His role in Season 4 is the enforcer, but similarly to his Season 2 role, there's little actual evidence that he's corrupt. He's definitely shrewd and selfish.
• Dirty Coward: Played for Laughs in Season 4; when Rosanna screams for his help, he immediately tries to save her, until he sees the mummy that's holding Ro hostage. He then turns around and runs away, screaming that he doesn't feel like playing the hero.
• Evil Is Petty: Everything he does, he does because he can.
• Face Death with Dignity: He's the only YouTuber in the first three seasons that didn't die screaming, pleading or looking like he was in pain — especially emphasized with his final confession.
• The Friend No One Likes: Everyone admits to hate him except for Jesse and Gabbie. Season 2, that is. Though Colleen and Joey held reservations against him in Season 4, he was more likeable in that season.
• Hated by All: He quickly loses any sympathy at the start of Season 2 Episode 2 for being a shady jerk, but what really does it is when he kills Lauren and proceeds to brag about it.
• Hate Sink: Especially in Season 2, being insufferably prideful and prone to dickish behaviour. He does get better in Season 4, though.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Does this in Season 4 Episode 4, in a dramatic contrast to his actions in his debut season.
• Insufferable Genius: He says he has a high IQ, whether this is true is debatable but he's certainly insufferable. Season 4 shows that he is pretty intelligent, though.
• Irony: In Season 2 Episode 4, he was chosen to be the captain for the Confederate team for Capture the Flag even though he's Black.
• Jerkass: While he may be on the side of the heroes, in both seasons (but moreso in Season 2), he treats them like crap.
• Kick the Dog: In Season 2, he constantly reminds Alex of his deceased girlfriend, while in Season 4 he votes for Rosanna just For the Evulz.
• Lack of Empathy: He doesn't flinch when watching his buddy Timothy get beaten to death by Garuda.
• Odd Friendship: Seemed to be forming one with Rosanna, of all people. This Female Angel, Male Demon pairing didn't last very long, however, but they seemed to be getting along very well.
• Pride: His Fatal Flaw in Season 2.
• Scary Black Man: He is Black and quite intimidating.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Twice. First in Season 2 Episode 3, when he and Jesse leave the group to join some spider ladies in a game of strip poker. The second time in Season 4 ,when Rosanna is captured by a mummy and screams for DeStorm's help; DeStorm tries to save her but quickly changes his mind after seeing the mummy.
• See You in Hell: Doubles as Dying Curse; these are his literal last words, to Alex, in Season 2. Funnily enough, they meet again in Purgatory in the All-Stars Season 4.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Tyler and Alex are pretty sensitive guys, Tyler being scared of almost everything and Alex crying when his girlfriend or friends die. On the other end of the coin, we have Jesse and DeStorm, the bad boys of the group who don't follow the rules.
• Small Name, Big Ego: In Season 2, where he doesn't showcase much skills. He averts this in Season 4, where he becomes much more helpful and less evil, but still keeps his massive ego.
• The Sociopath: Shows a lot of traits in season two. He has an apathetic towards the other characters’ deaths, betrays his allies and friends without a second thought, seems to sincerely believe that the other guests betrayed HIM rather then the other way around and has a massively overblown ego and cannot comprehend why they would ever want him eliminated.
• Token Evil Teammate: To the guests in Season 2, he becomes less evil in Season 4 and since they have the Sorceress, she fulfills this role.
• Took a Level in Kindness: In Season 4, he's considerably more amicable and as a result, much more well-liked in the group when compared with Season 2. He even carries out his fair share of Heroic Sacrifices.
• Teeth Clenched Team Work: With Alex in Season 2 Episode 4, as they are put on the same team for a round of Capture the Flag.
• Too Dumb to Live: In Season 2 Episode 3, he and Jesse decide to leave the group even though he knows the place is full of Evil and one of the YouTubers, Alex, has just been kidnapped. Subverted in that it doesn't lead to his death, but it did come close as Gabbie chose to save him.
• Unflinching Walk: Does this constantly in Season 4, he never runs away from monsters like the others, he struts.
• Wild Card: No one knows whose side he's really on. He backstabs nearly everyone at some point and seems to be better off on his own then with a team.

The Vaudevillain / The Hollywood Star (S4)

Played by Gabbie Hanna

• Action Girl: Played with. She does great in challenges but her large dress often stops her from fully kicking ass.
• The Alcoholic: Played for Laughs when she steals multiple glasses from Alison's tray in her first scene. It's hinted upon in later episodes.
• Alpha Bitch: In Season 2, she switches between this and a Lovable Alpha Bitch.
• And Show It to You: How she dies, in Season 2 Episode 7.
• Attention Whore: Gabbie is extremely egocentric and quickly becomes jealous of others when she thinks they are outshining her.
• Back from the Dead: For Season 4. Subverted when she is killed halfway through the season.
• Big Eater: "I'm hungry!"
• Bring My Brown Pants: At one point during Season 4 Episode 2, according to her confessional.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: In Season 2. It was very disheartening.
• Damsel in Distress: For a small portion of Season 4 Episode 1. Also in Episode 5 of the same season.
• Drama Queen: One of the reasons why she's funny.
• Everyone Has Standards: Might be Hypocritical Humor, but Gabbie is shocked by Tana's outfit in season 2, saying that if she wants attention so desperately, this isn't the way to go.
• Fluffy Fashion Feathers: On her headdress in Season 2.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Her Freudian Excuse for treating Tana like crap in Season 4 was because she was jealous of her beauty.
• It's All About Me: She's quite self-centred and boastful.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Has some morally questionable decisions and can be extremely rude towards others but always makes up for it afterwards. She convinces everyone to vote for Lauren but apologises to Alex later on, feeling it was mistake. She supports DeStorm, but isn't as selfish as him, because while DeStorm sneaks away from the group, Gabbie jumps between Joey and his gun to make sure everyone is safe. In Season 4, she is constantly diminishing and rude towards Tana but says it was out of jealousy and apologises; in Season 2, she seems absolutely heartbroken by her death.
• Large Ham: Not to the extent of GloZell, but she can ham it up pretty well.
• Narcissist: She's aware of her beauty and not exactly humble.
• Only Sane Woman: Considers herself this.
• Pet the Dog: Has a few moments to showcase she's good at heart, such as stepping between a gun to protect her friends, and being genuinely distraught at Tana's death in Season 2.
• Pimped-Out Dress: Both seasons; her Season 2 dress is decorated with silver sequins, and her Season 4 dress is a glossy, silvery pink with fur-trimmed sleeves. Unfortunately, the long and fancy skirt she had in Season 4 is quite inconvenient when one has to run around finding clues and dodging capture from the Collector's minions.
• Sexy Slit Dress: Her Season 2 dress has a hip-high slit in it, which shows her legs when she runs.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Her arrogance is what quickly gets on others' nerves.
• Tempting Fate: During the voting process, she said that she felt sorry for the one to go up against Alex. Guess who got voted in?
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Tana's girly girl.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Towards Tana in Season 4; they were Vitriolic Best Buds in Season 2, but have drifted apart a lot by Season 4.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Tana, they often bicker, but they do care deeply about each other.

Season 3 Guests

The Super Spy

Played by Teala Dunn

• Accidental Misnaming: Her calling Safiya "Sophia" is a Running Gag for the duration of her survival in the series. Safiya eventually decides to vote her into a death challenge over this.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Reasons why almost everyone voted on her? They either thought she was not contributing to the team, or she was jealous of her outfit (Nikita), and that she couldn't get her name right (Safiya).
• Black Girl Dies First: Defied, as Safiya managed to save her in that particular death challenge. Discussed behind the scenes by herself.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Teala was the youngest Season 3 castmate, being 21 at the time.
• Butt-Monkey: No one tolerates her and she's constantly bullied because she sucks at puzzles.
• Extreme Doormat: She fails to plead her case, twice. She also never fights back any of the bullying.
• Forgotten Fallen Friend: No one even bothers to ask what happened to her after she died, they're all just glad Rosanna is back instead of her.
• The Friend No One Likes: Everyone is annoyed with her constantly screwing up or not helping in challenges and the longer she stays, the less popular she becomes. This is most evident on two points, during the first voting ceremony, no one is surprised or says a word when she gets picked, they all simply look away, knowing that the majority voted her in. The second time is when Joey tells the group that there's only a certain amount of cards per person, without saying it, everyone realises he's talking about Teala.
• Irony: A super spy? Someone who's extremely skillful and clever. Teala? The opposite.
• The Load: The reason the others kept voting for her.
• The Millstone: Never helps out nor does anything of significance other then slowing the team down.
• Nervous Wreck: Most of the time, she’s too freaked out to help.
• Only Friend: Matthew is one of the only people to treat her kindly as opposed to judging her based on her "worth" in completing challenges and puzzles.
• Running Gag: She keeps mispronouncing Safiya's name as "Sophia". It hilariously gets on Safiya's nerves.
• Sassy Black Woman: Shows minor shades of this.
• Ship Tease: With Matthew and Roi.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She vocally expresses a fear of clowns. Unfortunately for her, Monster Clowns are the theme of the first two episodes.

The Disco Dancer / The Duchess (S4)

Played by Colleen Ballinger

• Arch-Enemy: Joey in Season 4 at first, because I dunno, he killed her the previous season?
• Back from the Dead: Season 4. Hopefully, this dilutes the shock from the Season 3 tropes about her. She also returns from her Death With No Return in Season 4 Episode 8.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: The only person that she was happy to see in Season 4 was Matthew because he always by her side.
• Broken Bird: Shows signs of this after Matt's death in Season 3, and is quite traumatized following the events of the aforementioned season, especially her Cruel and Unusual Death by Iron Maiden.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Gets voted into the Maiden of Madness by everyone in the group after all the drama she caused with Joey in previous episodes by accusing him of being up to no good. Her screams from being sealed inside are enough to cause nightmares for anyone, and this is arguably not just the worst death in the season, but also the entire series.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: In Season 4, where she is initially rude towards the others, she quickly manages to forgive both Rosanna and Joey and work together with them.
• Doomed Contrarian: She basically went after Joey actively in Season 3 Episode 6. She regreted her actions by the end of the episode, but...
• Drama Queen: Becomes this in how she antagonizes Joey in Season 3 Episodes 5 and 6. It does not end well.
• Fluffy Fashion Feathers: Wears a feather boa in Season 3.
• Grievous Bottley Harm: She uses a beer bottle to knock out the Pirate Girl holding her and Rosanna captive in Episode 8, rendering her a Damsel out of Distress.
• Happily Married: To her husband Erik, as mentioned in Season 4 Episode 6.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: She's a Defrosting Ice Queen in Season 4, being fairly rude and dismissive on the surface but willing to help out a friend in need.
• Iron Maiden: The Maiden of Madness. Directly ties into the Cruel and Unusual Death above.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She has a tendency to start fights but will help you out when needed.
• She Is the King: She is made King of Camelot in Season 4 Episode 5 and retrieves Excalibur.
• Ship Tease: With Matthew, Jc and Safiya in Season 3.
• Take That!: She delivers one to Logan Paul with a fantastic quote on Confession Cam about the Strong Man.
  Colleen: (reacting to the Strong Man) This guy reminds me of a very large, terrifying Logan Paul.
• Team Mom: In both seasons. Parodied somewhat in Season 4 when she keeps referencing her offscreen motherhood.
• True Blue Femininity: She wears a blue coat in Season 4, though it looks grey sometimes.

The Record Producer

Played by Manny Gutierrez

• Agent Peacock: Proven to be the strongest member of the current cast while wearing full face makeup.
• The Big Guy: The physically strongest of the bunch, as proven in Episode 5.
• Beta Bitch: Nikita's second in command.
• The Ditz: Surprisingly subverted, despite his many quirks and being The Big Guy for the group, he is very smart and of good use in solving puzzles.
• Et Tu, Brute?: In Episode 9, he asked Nikita not to shoot him when she had a choice between suicide and killing him. She chose the latter.
• The Fighting Narcissist: Downplayed. He's the strongest member of the group but cares deeply about his appearance.
• Geeky Turn-On: He has a crush on Matt.
• Genius Bruiser: He's both extremely smart and extremely strong.
• Genre Savvy: "DON'T GO IN THERE, YOU DUMB BITCH!"
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Downplayed. He's a lot friendlier then Nikita, but still can be a bit of a jerk in some instances.
• Killed Mid-Sentence: Nikita shoots him whilst he’s trying to talk her out of it.
• Motor Mouth: His appearances in confessionals tend to go on for a while.
• Platonic Life-Partners: With Nikita, until…
• Pretty Boy: The clowns refer to him as such; he actually seems to approve of the nickname.
• Ship Tease: With Matthew, especially with a certain behind the scenes quote.
  Manny: When I first think of Matt, I'm like okay, he's like that smart guy that I have to watch for and he's kinda nerdy and sexy.
• This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: Uses this often, along with Nikita.
• Title Drop: Downplayed in Episode 7.
  Manny: (on Confession Cam) I wish I could just be there with 'em to… escape this freakin' night.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: He becomes notably more of a jerk in later episodes, after being send into several death challenges and surviving.
• Tragic Bromance: He and Matt were Heterosexual Life-Partners and cared about each other a lot. Cue to the Episode 5 death challenge.
• Undying Loyalty: To Nikita due to their close friendship, with emphasis on the dying part due to being on the wrong end of a Suicidal Sadistic Choice.
• Yes-Man: Acts as a Beta Bitch to Nikita, constantly backing her up in arguments.

The Hippie

Played by Jc Caylen

• Brilliant, but Lazy: Jc's biggest flaw might be his lack of putting in effort. When he's actually trying, he's extremely smart.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He appears to be a guy who's not contributing anything... until they need to solve a math puzzle and he solves it on his own in no time.
• Dramatic Irony: His entire death is this. He helps out his team and becomes their best player but thanks to Poor Communication Kills between him and Matt, he gets voted into the challenge by one vote. He even lampshades this as he then picks Matt and jokes about him being the one who voted for him, not realising that he's actually right.
• Erudite Stoner: He's a stoner who is considered to be the smartest member of their group.
• Expy: Of Andrea Brooks from Season 1, both are The Quiet One who showcase some Hidden Depths while trying to solve a puzzle. The problem is that no one noticed this and they are voted into the challenge for not doing enough to prove themselves (in Andrea's case, she didn't help that much, but in Jc's case, he was one of the more useful team members). They both have to choose a partner to save them and end up picking a person who voted them into the challenge in the first place. Oh, right, and both of them die in the challenge of the second episode.
• Foil: To Roi. Jc is smart but lazy and needs to be pushed into helping; he's very relaxed and laid-back. Roi always tries to help but always fails, and is hyperactive and not very great at puzzles.
• Foreshadowing: In Episode 1, Jc is seen helping Matt and Ro win a prize at the carnival. During Episode 2, Matt struggles with the same game he struggled with in Episode 1, only this time Jc can't help him since his life is in Matt's hands.
• Hidden Depths: No one expected Jc of all people to be a math genius.
• Mellow Fellow: He almost doesn't seem to care that he's in a life or death situation as he's always calm, probably only except when getting killed.
• Nice Guy: He gets along pretty well with the others. It makes it all the more sad when he dies first.
• The Quiet One: Almost only talks in confessionals, until the math challenge and voting scene where he really shines as a character.
• Ship Tease: With Matthew and Colleen.
• The Stoic: Is the coolest about the whole situation, even when they need to vote someone to die he's trying to be rational about it.
• The Stoner: While it's never stated, he has a relaxed personality and has many traits that fit this trope. His introduction even references this by adding a water bubbling sound effect.
• Tempting Fate: He constantly says that he feels safe, since he helped out the group in a pivotal moment. But his confidence was misplaced as Mattt decided to vote him in. Afterwards, he's speculating about who voted him in. He lists Matt as a suspect and his last words to the group were "How f*cked up would it be if Matt was the one who voted me in?"
• We Hardly Knew Ye: He's good at math and a very relaxed person. That's about all we know about him in-universe.

The Daredevil

Played by Roi Fabito/Guava Juice

• Butt-Monkey: He just can't seem to get a break when it comes to getting kidnapped by the Monster of the Week — first the clowns, then the clowns again, then the Snake Woman...
• Comically Missing the Point: When talking to Calliope, she was talking about the stars, cut to Roi looking up in the air when Calliope was referring to the box with stars on them that the group was carrying.
• The Cutie: Some fans see him as one due to being an energetic guy with a heart of gold.
• Dumb Muscle: He's not stupid, just not that great at solving puzzles.
• Establishing Character Moment: His first appearance, when he got excited by the prospect of going on a dangerous adventure. He also started brushing his forehead with his toothbrush while reading.
• Foil: To Jc. Jc is Brilliant, but Lazy and needs to be pushed into helping; he's very relaxed and laid-back. Roi always tries to help but always fails, and is hyperactive and not very great at puzzles.
• Genki Guy: Excitable and energetic.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He saves Colleen from a snake bite by pushing her out of the way and taking the bite, then he takes one for the team by dropping the tower.
• Hidden Depths: He loves dancing. Too bad he didn't get to go to the disco.
• Iron Butt Monkey: Throughout the season, he's constantly injured or captured during missions. In Episode 3, he spends almost the entire episode dying of a venomous snake bite, being saved just in time for the challenge where a tower lands on his head and he is then killed by the Snake Woman.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Always is the first to jump into a challenge or try to help the group, and it always ends in him getting captured, poisoned, etc.
• The Load: He spends most of his time captured by the Monster of the Week and doesn't get too help that much. Subverted in that after being bitten by the Snake Woman, he and Teala help find the Lazarus Box which helps revive several important characters later on.
• Nice Guy: After Matt saves him, he tries to sacrifice himself to save him from going into a challenge.
• Running Gag: His passion for dancing seems to be this.
• Ship Tease: With Matthew, Nikita and Teala.
• Slashed Throat: How Roi dies in Episode 3.
• Small Role, Big Impact: While Roi doesn't live very long, he and Teala find the Lazarus Box and are thus pivotal in the revival of multiple characters.
• Spell My Name With An S: It's spelt 'Roi', with an 'i', not 'Roy'.

The Troublemaker

Played by Nikita Dragun

• Action Girl: One of the girls who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty in their debut seasons, but is proven to be this in Season 4 when she acts as Alex's guardian angel in Episode 6 and fights against the Minotaur.
• Affectionate Nickname: Manny calls her "honey", and Matthew calls her "darling" in later episodes.
• Alpha Bitch: She's very self-centered and rude most of the time.
• Arch-Enemy: Matt in their initial season, but they have made up by Season 4.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: She and Matthew grew closer to each other after the events of Season 3.
• Brutal Honesty: Described so Behind the Scenes in Season 3 Episode 11.
• Cleavage Window: Has one for her Season 3 outfit.
• Combat Pragmatist: Despite not involving combat. In Season 4 Episode 6, she crawls between the Minotaur's legs when he was in her way during the challenge, and also knocked over Colleen's Parthenon while the latter was ahead.
• Determinator: Discussed in Season 4 Episode 7, and she happens to be one herself.
• Dice Roll Death: Taken very much literally then defied in Season 3 Episode 1. She escaped her original fate because Mortimer dropped by on a motorcycle and shot the Monster Clown that was going to kill her.
• Dude Magnet: Mistakenly thinks she's this.
• Establishing Character Moment: When she received her invitation, she was immediately characterized as her snarky, bitchy self.
  Nikita: (to the one delivering her invitation) Bitch, where's my burger? I did not order this.
• Fire-Forged Friends: With Matthew; after going through multiple quarrels and conflicts throughout their season, they collaborate to help each other survive by their finale and continue to do so as SAE members in Season 4.

• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She literally vowed to go after the people that voted her and Manny into the Funhouse Death Challenge in Season 3 Episode 7 if she made it out and Manny didn't.

Played by Rosanna Pansino

• Back from the Dead: Returns to the All-Stars Season 4. Tragically subverted when she dies a painful death as the Episode 9 Heartbreaker of the season.

• Break the Cutie: Season 4 implies this as she gets into a row with Joey.

• The Cutie: A sweet, innocent cinnamon roll for most of the series thus far. She's incredibly kind and has few to no malicious intentions, even showing remorse when Nikita goes into the death challenge in Season 3 Episode 3, as she voted for Nikita because she was someone she hadn't worked the most with and she didn't know what else to do, as well as when she voted for Colleen to be put in the Iron Maiden in Episode 6, as she apologies tearfully while doing so. Even canonical sources reference her being a cinnamon roll.

She comes back, saying, "I'm a fighter, and I'm gonna stick it out till the end."
  • Doubles as Tempting Fate, because she doesn't make it out alive.
    • Then the above trope is subverted, respectively, as she's Back from the Dead. Then the trope becomes double subverted because… tragedy struck.
• Tempting Fate: Other than the above…
  Rosanna, Season 4 Episode 9: I don't wanna be a snack!
• Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Considered this by some, if not most, of the fandom, for being a Nice Girl to pretty much everyone around her; proven sadly true in Season 3 Episode 8. Eventually subverted when she was given a second chance to fight for her life in Season 4, but becomes a Double Subversion when she dies in the penultimate episode of the season.
• Took a Level in Dumbass: Rosanna was very average in her original season, and while she could be a little bit childish, she was very aware of what was happening around her and had times where she broke and acted serious. In Season 4, Rosanna is almost a Womanchild in comparison. She acts like a 11-year-old and doesn't seem to realise the seriousness of the situation.

• Cover Innocent Eyes and Ears: In Episode 5, she covers Rosanna's eyes so that she doesn't have to watch the Strong Man make out with Veronica.

• Expy: Of Season 1 survivor Eva Gutowski. Both are dark-haired, intelligent, and determined, and are chosen to save another YouTuber's life in their respective second episodes, and succeed in doing so. The main difference is that Eva survived her season.

The Playboy

Played by Bretman Rock

• The Ace: He's one of the strongest and smartest—and according to him, funniest and prettiest as well—cast members.
• Agent Peacock: Despite wearing makeup, he broke a board near-effortlessly during Episode 4. Guess Nikita has a type when it concerns friends.
• Animal Motifs: A rabbit, courtesy of the Teasing Creator and the emoji hinting at his role.
• Attention Whore: Constantly cuts off anyone who’s talking for longer than one sentence to take over the conversation.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: It might be just his makeup though.
• Camp Gay: Maybe a bit downplayed on the show, but it counts.
• Chekhov's Skill: He mentioned that he had been on the Track Team while at school. This sure helped him a lot when he had to compete in a Race challenge in Episode 8. His prowess in slingshots as a child also came in handy.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He seems to not take anything that’s happening very seriously and cares more about his appearance than his own safety (or anyone else’s, for that matter).
• Comically Missing the Point: When Mortimer is turned to stone, he remarks that he's a stoner too.
• Genius Bruiser: He's very strong but has his moments of being The Smart Guy.
• It's All About Me: His main attitude throughout the season is incredibly self-centred.
• Jerkass: He's rude towards literally everyone—Joey, the other guests, villains, helpers, NIKITA...
• Jerk Ass Has A Point: He's completely right about blaming Nikita for his situation.
• Naïve Newcomer: He obviously knew nothing of Joey's previous excursions against the Evil in-universe, prior to hearing the dead discuss. Joey said that it took him a while to comprehend what was going on in-universe.
• Odd Name Out: The only member of the season cast who's not an All-Star.
• Pet the Dog: He does put in a good word for Tana when they are looking at who to revive, says that she was a lot smarter then they gave her credit for.
• Playboy Bunny: Not his outfit, as we can see, but it's alluded to upon his character role teaser on Twitter.
• Plucky Comic Relief: He's always cracking jokes at the most inappropriate situations. It borders into Cloud Cuckoo Lander territory.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: The biggest one yet, he refers to others as bitches and uses at least two curse words in each sentence.
• The Smart Guy: Quickly proves himself to be this despite being the Naïve Newcomer.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Bretman and Manny are friends of Nikita, they're strong, smart, determined and resourceful, but wear makeup and are Camp Gay. The difference is that while Manny is a Nice Guy who always follows Nikita, Bretman is a Jerkass who's always shown bickering with Nikita.
• This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: He uses this every other sentence.
• Ungrateful Bastard: Justified. While the first thing he does when Nikita arrives is threaten her, it was her fault he got stuck in the first place.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Nikita, as they are always bickering, but still care about each other.

Recurring Characters

Characters that appear in all or most episodes, but other minor characters may have their own profiles as well, depending on how vital they are to the storyline.

Each season has one or more "assist" characters, teaching the guest how voting works and bringing them clues if needed, they also serve to count and reveal the votes.

Season 1

Arthur, Sarah and Marvin

Played by Paul Chirico, Katia Hayes and David Hutchison, respectively

The head of staff and main assist character for Season 1, the maid and the groundskeeper.

---

• Ax-Crazy: Sarah clearly enjoys hunting down Eva, whilst Arthur is such a sociopath that he treats hunting down and murdering the survivors as a game of hide and seek.
• Beard of Evil: Both Arthur and Marvin have facial hair and are two of the main antagonists of the season.
• Benevolent Boss: Zigzagged in the finale. While Arthur verbally abuses Sarah and Marvin in that episode, he also compliments Marvin's gardening abilities.
• Big Bad: Revealed to be this in the finale. A multilude of fans figured it out much earlier.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Arthur. He acts like a helpful assist character for the YouTubers, but turns out to be the mastermind for the events of the massacre.
• The Brute: Marvin is the muscle of the group. He is the strongest and would've been the one to kill Shane.
• The Butler Did It: Some of the guests suggest this could be an option, but it's mostly forgotten about until it's too late and Arthur reveals himself.

• Karmic Death: Arthur is killed by his own brother whom he locked up and tortured for an unspecified amount of time.
• Manipulative Bastard: Arthur successfully tricks everyone into thinking he's a loyal butler, earlier, he also poses as a loving husband for years before poisoning his wife For the Evulz.

---

• All There in the Manual: Supplementary material reveals the names of the characters with No Name Given.
• Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: Vincent is accused of this by the doctor that interrogates and tortures him in his flashback episode. Given his awareness of someone working with the Evil of the house the whole time, however, it's possible Vincent subverts this trope to an extent…
• Domestic Abuse: Madison was abused by her husband prior to becoming a mermaid.
• Drowning My Sorrows: The priest becomes The Alcoholic after the failed ritual.
• Glasgow Grin: Madison has one, which makes her look very unsettling and causes her to make weird noises when she speaks.

• Greed: Colin's Fatal Flaw; his Gold Fever drives him to commit murder, and his refusal to leave the Mansion without all his German gold ends up causing the death of another innocent.
• Hallucinations: Vincent supposedly suffers from these, and the guests have to confront three of them in order to free him.
• Hate Sink: Colin. Though unintended, he is a greedy and selfish jerkass, and overall has few to no redeeming qualities aside from being attractive.

• Hooks and Crooks: Arthur's brother kills Marvin and Sarah with a hook.
• Hunk: Probably Colin's only possible redeeming feature — he's sexy.

• Karma Houdini: Colin was an uncaring jerkass who never got his comeuppance. Thus, he is hated by virtually the entire fandom. If only he weren't so greedy...

• Mr. Fanservice: Colin is introduced wearing only cargo pants and boots, which immediately distracts the girls and Timothy.

• No Name Given: The Priest, though other material reveal his name to be 'David Santos'. Arthur's brother is also confirmed to be named 'Marco'.

• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After being freed from his prison, Arthur's brother goes on a rampage and slaughters all three villains like a boss.
• The Scrooge: Colin. He guards his pile of German gold like a pitbull, and even killed his mates because he believed one of them had taken it.

Season 2

Alison

Played by Lindsay Elston

A Vampire that formerly served her father Dorian, King of Vampires, and Season 2's main assist character.

---

• Anachronism Stew: Her name is unconventional for a character from the 19th century; it's unknown if her being a Vampire has anything to do with it.
• Defends Against Their Own Kind: Protected the YouTubers from evil vampires in Episodes 1 and 2.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Sacrificed herself in place of Andrea Russett to the werewolves in Episode 8.
• Ojou Ringlets: She has curls right in front of her ears and is technically the Princess of the Vampires.
• Rebellious Princess: Since her father is the King of the Vampires, and her mother the Queen, she is automatically the Vampire Princess. The rebellious part is self-explanatory: she helps the YouTubers throughout the season, up until her death in Episode 8.

Jetpack Girl

The assistant of Cedric, who then turned to help him.

---

• No Name Given: We just call her Jetpack Girl and that's it.
• Ship Tease: With Riley at the end of Episode 10, comforting her after she kills the Sorceress.

• Purity Personified: Well, what's left of the good in the Sorceress, anyway.
• Sealed Good in a Can: More like, Sealed Good in a Glass Box.
• Ship Tease: With Jetpack Girl at the end of Episode 10.
• Walking Spoiler: It's quite tough to talk about her without mentioning the Sorceress' backstory.

Sampson, Sireen and Torhil to the Undying

Three minor helpers of the YouTubers, who appear in Episodes 5 (Sampson) and 6 (the latter two).

---

• The Dog Bites Back: Sampson pushes the Gingerbread Woman, his 'guardian' who terrifies him, into the oven, Hansel and Gretel style!
• Gender-Blender Name: 'Torhil' is sometimes spelt as "Torhild", which is a Norwegian girl's name.

• Mauve Shirt: Sampson, arguably. He acts as a secondary 'assist' character throughout his debut Episode 5, but gets unceremoniously killed off near the end.

• Spell My Name With An S: No one can really decide if the name is spelt 'Torhil' or 'Torhild'. They also cannot decide if his title is 'the Undying' or 'to the Undying'.

The Sorceress

Played by Eva Augustina

The main antagonist for Season 2, luring Joey to the Victorian era and mind controlling him into inviting the guests to complete a ritual that will bring a dark god that gave her her powers to this world.

• Lesbian Vampire: Vera is suspected to be one, due to her unhealthy obsession with Andrea Russett.
• Monster of the Week: Subverted, as quite a number of them were Back for the Finale, namely Vera, Cash, the Prometheans, Atticus and the Devourer (as a two-parter appearance). Basically everyone else plays this straight.
  • Double subverted for the Harpies, who first showed up in Episode 5 and continued to be the secondary antagonists of Episode 6. However, since they were killed in Episode 6, they never showed up again.
• Neck Snap: Torhil the Undying does this to a harpy in Episode 6.
• Someone Set Up Us The Bomb: Our final remaining YouTubers, as part of the final step to free Riley, "blew the shit out of" Cash and Atticus.

Season 3

Calliope

Played by Shontae Saldana

"That's a huge bitch!"

One of the main assist characters for Season 3.

---

• Bullying a Dragon: In Episode 9, she steals Mortimer's handgun and shoots and hits the Carnival Master. This results in her death. It doubles as a Roaring Rampage of Revenge because right before she stole the gun, the Carnival Master killed Mortimer.
• Cassandra Truth: Everyone in town — YouTubers included, didn't believe what she said about the Cursed God and the artifacts, etc, until the Monster Clown gang struck.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Initially gives off this impression to the guests in Episode 1, but...
  • The Cuckoolander Was Right: Quickly subverts the above trope in the same episode when it turns out that she was right about the Carnival Master and his wicked schemes.
• Crowbar Combatant: Uses a crowbar to beat down a Monster Clown in Episode 1. We never saw her do this again, though.
• Hidden Depths: It is revealed at the beginning of Episode 10 that she was the SAE member that came with Jael and Ryu to save Everlock from the Carnival Master. She survived due to going to hold off the guardians instead of joining the other two attacking the Carnival Master. She spent the next forty years stuck in time attempting to protect the town only to be mocked.

• Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: His Fatal Flaw in his initial season; it results in his corruption.
• Face–Heel Turn: Does this at the end of Season 3 Episode 9, although under the influence of the Artifact of Doom.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Mortimer. As in "dead water", according to some translations. Possibly foreshadowing his, albeit involuntary, Face–Heel Turn.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Has glowing vermilion-red eyes under the influence of the Artifact of Doom, notably seen in Episode 9.
• Taken for Granite: In Season 4 Episode 6, by the Gorgon.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Unspoken, was killed by the Carnival Master after he was freed.

---

• Alliterative Name: Some of the Monster Clown names — Sally Slaughter and Lascivious Luke. Also the name of the group itself (to some degree) — the Killer Clown Clan.
• Back from the Dead: The Man With No Name sure is, in Season 4! Further exaggerated when Lucy and a member of the Monster Clown gang are brought back as well in Episode 10.
• Batter Up!:
  • Sally Slaughter wields a metal baseball bat, which she never got to use.
  • In Season 4 Episode 10, Lucy also appears to favour this as a weapon.
• Creepily Long Arms: The Man With No Name has these, having an odd resemblance to Slenderman.
• Creepy Doll: The Twin Dolls, the main antagonists of Episode 6.

• Taken for Granite: In the finale of Season 4, using the Sword of All Legends.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: If the season's theme "Warning Rune" is anything to go by, it is implied there that she is trying to keep the dead YouTubers safe from a greater threat, according to some interpretations.
• Your Soul Is Mine!: Her preferred method of offing others in person.

Keepers of the Keys

The equivalent of the Lieutenants and Guardians. These include the Mummy of the Pharaoh, Garuda, the Emperor, the Black Knight, the Gorgon, Scheherazade, Rorik the Pirate and the Velociraptors.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: In Hindu mythology, Garuda is a protector. Here, he is a villain.
• Black Knight: The villain of Episode 5 is one.
• The Corruptible: The SAE member who was transformed into the Gorgon by the very Evil she intended to destroy.
• Early-Bird Cameo: The Gorgon first appears in Episode 1, then proceeds to play a crucial role as a major villain in Episode 6, after being summoned at the end of Episode 5.
• Face–Heel Turn: The Gorgon was originally an SAE member, cursed by Pandora's Box to become evil.
• Medusa: The Gorgon's gaze can make her victims be Taken for Granite. It wasn't the real Medusa, though, but a cursed SAE member.
• Monster of the Week: Considering how nearly every single one of them is killed at the end of their debut episode, we may be assured that this is the case, much like the previous season.
• Mummy: What the Pharaoh came back as.
• Nepharious Pharaoh: In mummy form, as one of the major villains in Episodes 1-2.
• Pirate: The Monster of the Week of Episode 8, Rorik.

Merlin

Merlin appears in Episode 5, as part of the Camelot arc.

---

• Cool Old Guy: Old, and very much a badass fighter.

• Robe and Wizard Hat: He wears these as classical wizard attire.
• Sealed Good in a Can: He was chained up by the Collector and assists the remaining YouTubers.
• Wizard Classic: Attire? Check. Magic staff? Well, wand, but it counts. Magic and spellbook? Check. Eccentric Court Mage? Perhaps. Male? Duh. Old? Double-check.

Other Characters

Minor characters, and the secondary 'lieutenants' for various episodes.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: Ali Baba. In source material, he is heroic, while he became villainous during Episode 7, the episode featuring Arabic tales and myths.
• Ambiguously Evil: Jezebel. She helped the YouTubers, sure, but she still had feelings for her (evil) ex.
• Anachronism Stew: The male rebel in Season 4 wears a Manchu plait. That type of Manchu hairstyle would not be commonplace until the Qing Dynasty, which was about an entire century from 1521, and even then, it wasn't the first Manchu plait hairstyle to become commonplace.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The Pharaoh's Wife. She was amicable at first, but then it turned out that she was the one who killed her husband in the first place.
• Character Development: The Genie, from the little we see of him. He chose not to leave the wish he granted the YouTubers open-ended, as he had done with Scheherazade.
• Chekhov's Gunman: The Caveman. He first appears in Episode 5, then plays a far larger role in Episode 9.
• Crusading Widow: Fatima, after her Star-Crossed Lovers partner Sinbad was killed. She got her revenge on Scheherazade by writing her name down on the story instead of the loser of the challenge.
• Establishing Character Moment: When the Caveman helped the group chase away the Black Knight at one point in Episode 5, it becomes obvious that he dislikes the Collector and her minions as much as the YouTubers do, and is willing to help out a friend in need.
• God Save Us from the Queen!: The Pharaoh's Wife betrayed her husband and was a side villain for Episode 2.
• Mooks: The Egyptian Guards and the unnamed pirates.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: The Egyptian guards of the museum follow the orders of the one with the Ruler's Rod, be they heroic or villainous.
• Pirate: They appear in Episode 8, but there are indeed openly female pirates in the episode, most notably Jezebel.
• Red Herring: The Egyptian guards were initially believed to be important characters, but were only so in Episode 1. The Pharaoh's Wife was killed less than a minute after she was revealed to be the traitor, which meant that she couldn't develop her villainous potential.
• Sealed Good in a Can: The Genie. He was stuck there as he was tricked by Scheherazade.
• Spell My Name With An S: The credits list him as "Sinbad", but it can also be spelt as "Sindbad".
• Star-Crossed Lovers: Sinbad and Fatima. The Collector didn't allow them to be together. And they decided to have a Big Damn Kiss in front of the YouTubers, which was when they were reunited.
• Taking You with Me: Sinbad. After he was stabbed by Ali Baba, he stabbed the other as well.
• The Unintelligible: The Caveman.

Others

Society Against Evil

A mysterious organization that said to battle evil entities across time and space. They were represented by Shane and their logo was marked on items and clues for each episodes puzzle in season 1, and some of them appeared as the Dark Army in Season 2. However, they play a much larger and more active role in the proceedings of Seasons 3 and 4.

Confirmed members include Shane as of Season 1, Katsumi and Roanoke from a Season 2 flashback, Jael, Ryu, and Calliope in Season 3, and Joey, Matt, and Nikita as of Season 4.

---

• Back from the Dead: Jael and Ryu in Season 3 Episode 10.
• Big Damn Heroes: Two of their members are brought back from the dead in the final episode of Season 3, and at that point our remaining three protagonists just have to follow along and watch as they destroy the zombies and kill the Carnival Master.
• Big Good: They're supposed to be this, given they're ones working to destroy the Cursed God and his minions.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: This is a Society that is (fighting) Against Evil. MatPat also lampshades this fact during his meta-theory.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Jael in the Season 3 Episode 10 flashback. She used her life force to encase the Carnival Master in amber... which lasted forty years, even though it was 1978 when he was sealed away and still 1978 when he broke out. Time travel is weird like that.
• Meaningful Name: Jael shares a name with the Guile Heroine in the Book of Judges from The Bible who slayed with tent pegs. Ryu's name is Japanese for "dragon".
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: An agent known as Roanoke. As in, The Lost Colony of Roanoke.
• Neck Snap: How Ryu dies.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Throughout the show, they're hinted to be the ones ultimately responsible for the deadly house parties. They're implied to be responsible for Joey inheriting the house in Season 1, and they split up the MacGuffins to unlock the crown in Season 2, stating that "people from the future will come to stop you" to the Sorceress in the intro to the finale, before finally getting upgraded to a prominent role in Seasons 3 and 4. Of course, this makes them responsible for the horrifyingly gruesome deaths of countless YouTubers throughout the course of the series. As much as they seem to want to stop these entities, their methods are... harsh, to say the least.

The Cursed God

An evil deity that gave the Sorceress the Crown of Oblivion in Season 2.

---

• Eldritch Abomination: He's a deity, but no one is quite certain what is up with him.
• Evil Sounds Deep/Evil Sounds Raspy: If the claim that the voice of the Helm of Obedience is his voice is to be believed, this applies.
• The Voice: Mainly characterized by his voice.

---
