* BatterUp: Grabs himself a baseball bat to defend himself against The Wood Carver. At least that's what the mask wanted him to believe since he's actually wielding the killer's machete disguised as one in his mind.
* FakeMemories: Under the mask effects, Sam's memories are not only [[AlternateIdentityAmnesia repressed]] but also altered to prevent him from realizing he's the killer before Chuck forced him to remember. One instance is being inserted into a third-person perspective of Freddie and Nancy's conversation before the Wood Carver offs them. It's very obvious and awkwardly done as indicated by how the two completely ignore him despite calling out or the PlotHole of the Wood Carver letting Sam escape as Chuck points out.

[[folder:Chuck]]
->'''Played by:''' Alyson Hannigan
Sam's best friend who works at the comic book store called Rings of Saturn. Because of the countless movies ingrained into her brain, Chuck is extremely well-versed in the horror and slasher genre which is why Sam called her in the first place.
----
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Thanks to the hundreds of horror and slasher movies she watched, Chuck remains calm and sometimes [[NightmareFetishist excited]] over Sam's situation. She didn't even mind that Sam technically slaughtered nearly a dozen innocent counselors and was sympathetic to his plight rather than shocked or disgusted.
->'''Chuck:''' [Very sympathetically and nonchalantly] And you chopped his head off?
* GenderBlenderName: While her real name (Charlotte) averts the trope, her nickname Chuck is predominantly a boy's name.
* GenderFlip: She's the AuthorAvatar of the male writer Chuck Wendig who co-wrote the movie (Hence her [[GenderBlenderName nickname]]).
* ItsForABook: When one of the customers in Chuck's store overhears her talking about the murders at Camp Clear Vista, she claims that it's a creative writing assignment for school.

* FinalGirl: The most standardised example of one, kind-hearted, nature-loving, FriendToAllChildren...[[spoiler:However, it turns out to be a subversion since she doesn't have the constitution to resist the temptation of evil because a few seconds wearing the mask completely entrances her to the dark side, kill off Sam and left the camping grounds to become the newest and more permanent vessel of the Wood Carver.]]
