Introduction
Introduction- The late 19th century
Once upon a
Now the "family" lived in a expansive edifice: lushes gardens, marble fountains, the royal works, surrounding the building. It was a sight to see throughout old England; everyone flocking to the mansion, immediately going to the back where the circus resided. The freaks were very beloved and idolized. Everyone wanted to be like them even to the point they wanted to alter themselves, sometimes.... brutally. How gruesome is that, changing, painfully, into a limbless person? Some people just take things too much to the extreme....
There was a series of unfortunate events that plagued the, once peaceful and amusing, mansion into a dark oblivion that would never be saved from....redemption. Let us try to be a little sympathetic and respect the family.... As usual, the circus was open, six days a week, entertaining the masses. This particular day, though, the freaks had an opening act that featured all of them showing off their bizarre tricks, abilities, and deformities. "Hurry, hurry, step right up and see the freak-show!", the announcer said on his megaphone.
Everyone shouted happily as they all flocked to the stage where the freaks were assembled. The audience cheered them on, clapping and waving their arms about. The freaks began their act, everything seeming fine..... until the accident reared it's ugly head. Behind the stage, trailers of dressing rooms for the family situated for them to change, whenever needed. Somehow or another, one of the trailers caught on fire. At first no one noticed, until a little boy shouted, "Fire! Fire! There's a fire!".
The audience began to panic as they saw smoke rising in the air behind the stage. Everyone ran to the scene and were validated right with the boy's correct accusation. The freaks rushed, with all their might, to put the fire out, some people from the crowd aiding them by passing buckets and buckets of water to them. How did this happen and who or what started the fire?.... It's was too late to answer those grim questions because as everyone was trying to quell the fire, the trailer exploded with a loud boom.
You could almost hear the sound resonate across whole county.... and possibly all through England. It happen so fast that no one could tell the story with correct evidence. Miraculously, everyone survived but the family of freaks. There was even no trace of dead bodies that could've shown up after the explosion. It was as if they disappeared without a trace. Even the owner, Lord Blackmoor, vanished without a trace. What a sad strange day that was, no one never understanding the full extent of the incident. But may the souls of the family..... rest in
A few years later, after the mansion and circus was marked condemned and never resurrected properly, a cult coed group, that went by the name of "The One", mysteriously moved into the mansion. They, of course, were shun all over England, who were all Christians, for being satanic worshipers making them seek refugee underground. The mansion was a perfect place for them. They practiced dark magic and spoke in Latin, cursing God and his followers, literally spitting on the holy religion. Rituals were a norm for them; praying and dancing, evilly, to "The One".
On a particular night, performing their usual dark devilish ritual, they prayed to "The One" to give them all immortality. An actuality, they were bargaining with the devil for their own lives o be traded off for living for eternity. But you can't bargain fairly with the devil.... They're "prayers" were answered, "The One" appearing to them in a form of an old lady who looked very harmless. They all rejoiced, thanking the devil for sending them a messenger to give the "good news" of their immortality.
The old lady smiled wickedly at them, "Omnes nunc animabus vestris sunt viri diabolici .... Morbi damnati in perpetuum.... (All of your souls belong to the devil now.... You're damned forever....)", was all she said before a dark shadow consumed the mansion. None of the members could really understand what she, "The One", meant by that, thinking that they were to receive immortality. But they were wrong.... oh so wrong.... As the darkness continued to swallow the mansion whole, the lady transformed into a hideous creature, her true form showing in all of it's vicious glory.
Everyone screamed in terror, ill prepared to be face to face with the demonic entity. It was too late. The one devoured their souls; shrills, screams, gnashing of the teeth could be heard through the whole mansion. The darkness became thicker and denser, swarming and swirling around the mansion. The cult didn't know that they were cursing the Blackmoor grounds, it being too late to turn back seeing that they all vanished. All of a sudden, the mansion became
It was done.... The mansion was cursed, forever being damned by the wicked..... There were other "residences" but they weren't looking for a good time.... only there to torture an innocent soul who dared enter. The One was running the show this time.... And so ends are tragic story of how the mansion turned into a hell house. May the family of freaks rest in peace and the cult be damned forever....
Ladies and gentlemen, please bow your head's and say a short prayer with me because....this prayer will

The Players- Characters
Now, in the year of 1936, in Isle of Wight, England, three unlucky souls are about to enter the mansion. They were given a letter and brochure, mysteriously for some unknown source, beckoning them to stay at the mansion for their disposal. The invitation sounded very tempting making them come immediately, being very oblivious to what laid in store for them.....
What mad person told them to come to that hell house?!
Lord have
The newlywed couple (2): are there because they just got married and are now on their honeymoon. These characters thought that the mansion was the best place to spend time together so they were tricked and charmed by it's 19th century aura. The husband is a respected business on wall-street man, even though he comes from old money. The wife is an heiress who inherited a large trust fund from her parents. He always seems busy to her which makes them constantly get in fights but they still love each other. (their age group- early to mid twenties)
Taken
The doctor/scientist (1): is there because he was suppose to be on vacation with his colleagues. It was suppose to be a retreat for the whole practice. But everyone else were at another hotel, going to the right place, so this character got stuck here thinking the place is where he are suppose to be. He is a respected surgeon who does the job right all the time. So he gets paid a lot of money. (his age group- forties)

And so it
The day seemed fairly
In the inside, torment was the first word to say about the edifice named Blackmoor. It seemed like the manor darkly loomed over the whole island itself like a dark demonic figure. People around the island didn't want to set foot on it's grounds, forbidding their children to even go near it. Rumors....about the mansion spun gory horrific tales about how it became cursed. One tale in particular told of a demonic force ruling over the manor.... poisoning the manor with it's twisted evilness.
Was those tales real? Did a demonic force really reside there?..... No one knew of the mansion's history and secrets and really didn't want to figure out. Everyone....and I mean everyone tried their hardest to stay away from the mansion.... That is until three....unlucky....souls were beckoned to the estate by an anonymous letter, not knowing of the horrific tales that were soon to come true.....
What mad person told them to come to that hell house?!
Lord have
