| Lead | DALE | Male 18 - 25 Years old |
Description On the surface, Dale has seemingly harmless reasons for seeking out his favorite YouTube group, Nightmare on Dare Street. He claims to be a diehard fan who just wants to try out an infamous internet game- the elevator game. But Dale has a darkness simmering just below the surface. His sister disappeared months ago while playing the game, and he believes someone in this group may have had something to do with it. Dale is currently battling his own personal demons, struggling with the notion that his sister may have just run away from a life she didn’t want vs. the possibility that the legend of the elevator game may in fact be real. | ||

| Supporting | CHLOE | Female 18 - 25 Years old |
Description If Kris is the face of the show, Chloe is the brains behind it. She plans out every element from the camera placements to how each stunt should go down. She is also a meticulous researcher who knows everything about these legends and their origins. Chloe is the most pragmatic of the group, usually being the one to point out that ghost may not be real and that the scary effects of these stunts is likely just psychological. Chloe is rational, quirky, and really feels for everything Dale had endured emotionally surrounding the loss of his sister. | ||

He lives vicariously through Kris’s exploits and has become a little arrogant since he has come up in the world. Kris gets all the attention and girls while Matty picks up the scraps.
