74	* BlatantLies: Just look below:

93	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/ThomasMiddleditch
94
95	Horror movie fan, notably of "Camp Bloodbath", and Gertie's stepbrother.
96
97	* ButtMonkey: He's a CosmicPlaything who gets subjected to numerous AmusingInjuries over the film's course (i.e., [[spoiler:getting hit with a car and getting repeatedly stabbed]]). However, see below to understand that he's really an IronButtMonkey.
98	* BringMyBrownPants: Well, they're actually [[IncrediblyLamePun "yellow"]].
99	* DeathByGenreSavviness: [[spoiler:Even if he really know the rules of the movie, it's by thinking that the rules makes the real world people invincible which cause his [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks demise at the hand of Billy]]]].
100	* FreakyIsCool: Maybe not [[NightmareFetishist too much]], but is overexcited at being the brother of Gertie, who is the best friend of a scream queen's daughter.
101	* GenreSavvy: He really helps the group to follow the slasher movie rules and deduced how to get out of the movie.
102	* IronButtMonkey: [[spoiler:Machete thrown in his ribs and later hit by a fast-moving [[EveryCarIsaPinto car which then explodes]]]]. Nothing can stop a true Bath-matician.

110	Typical stock SlasherMovie characters forced to interact with real people.
111
112	[[folder: Nancy]]
113	-->'''Played By:''' Amanda Cartwright (Creator/MalinAkerman)
114
115	* DecoyProtagonist: She seems like the main character of ''Camp Bloodbath'', but dies after she provides the movie's exposition about Billy, and Paula becomes the FinalGirl. Subverted after the real world teens arrive and send everything OffTheRails.
116	* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Thanks to the influence of Max, she begins to grow completely out of her 'role' in the movie, something that her friends don't do. [[spoiler:She even begins experiencing MediumAwarness like the real world teens do, such as noticing slow motion and ending up in the flashback, hearing her own voice.]]
117	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: She allows herself to get murdered by Billy so Max can obey the film's internal logic and become the "Final Girl" in order to defeat the monster]].
118	* MoreExpendableThanYou: [[spoiler:When either she or Max has to perish for the other to become FinalGirl: "I'm just the shy girl with a clipboard and a guitar."]]
119	* ShoutOut: Her name is one to Nancy Thompson, the final girl from ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet1984'', while her appearance and personality is based on Ginny from ''Film/FridayThe13thPart2''.
120	* {{Nice G\|uy}}irl: Nancy is very sweet and caring towards everyone, and modest as well. She says that she's just the girl with the clipboard and a guitar.
121	* TheNotLoveInterest: Max has a romantic sub-plot with Chris, but the central relationship in the film is definitely between Max and Nancy.
122	* RefugeeFromTVLand: Nancy wants to become this once she realizes that she is a fictional character meant to die brutally and never grow up to do important things.
123	[[/folder]]
124
125	[[folder: Kurt]]
126	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/AdamDevine
127
128	* AmbiguouslyBi: Kurt hits on literally every woman he sees, but briefly mentions that he thinks gay men have a cool lifestyle despite thinking that it's just sex with men.
129	* AssholeVictim: He's the typical sex-crazed jerk who ends up as a typical target. [[spoiler:He still ends up dead, even if it's not by Billy's hands]].
130	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When he's trying to get the hell out of the camp with Paula he ''still'' is primarily concerned with getting laid instead of, you know, running away from the vicious brute of a serial killer.
131	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He gets one of the nastiest deaths in the film, [[spoiler:getting launched from Paula's car after she accidentally hits the camp's entryway (she was distracted by accidentally hitting [[ButtMonkey Duncan]] with her car), with him hitting the ground chest-first with enough force ''that his legs bend backwards over his head like they're made of rubber'']].
132	* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Like many people of the 1980s, Kurt is openly homophobic and assumes everyone else is too. Then he meets Chris who has two gay fathers...
133	* [[invoked]] FairForItsDay: He's an InUniverse case overlapping with InnocentBigot; Despite holding some stereotypes of gay people that are now considered very offensive, Kurt holds no malice toward them and actually seems to envy the "party hearty" lifestyle he imagines they live.
134	* HandsomeLech: He ''is'' actually quite handsome, but his unrepentant horniness results in most of the other characters (both within the world of the InUniverse film and "outside" of it) seeing him as annoying.
135	* JerkJock: A milder example than others. He's a bit of a jerk, but for the most part is just ''massively'' horny.
136	* ReallyGetsAround: Comically exaggerated.
137	* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: Duncan thinks that Kurt's lines of dialogue ("How about you go suck a turd!" being one) are this.
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder: Tina]]
141	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/AngelaTrimbur
142
143	* TheBait: She is used to bait out Billy.
144	* TheDitz: There's pretty much ''nothing'' going on upstairs in her head, to put it lightly.
145	* HappyDance: She performs an absolutely ridiculous striptease in order to lure the killer into the cabin. She is also seen dancing at other times, implying that she's almost always happy.
146	* IntoxicationEnsues: When she ingests Vicki's bottle of Adderall mistaking them for Tic-Tacs.
147	* ItWillNeverCatchOn: Tina couldn't even comprehend the idea of a smartphone.
148	* ReallyGetsAround: She represents the slutty girls who are typically killed in Slashers.
149	* ShoutOut: Her name is one to the protagonist of ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood'', while her character is based on Morgan from ''Film/TheHouseOnSororityRow'' and Lynda from the original ''Film/Halloween1978''.
150	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: She accidentally kills herself by falling into a bear trap meant for Billy]].
151	[[/folder]]
152
153	[[folder: Blake]]
154	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/ToryNThompson
155
156	* BlackGuyDiesFirst: Averted.
157	* NewWaveMusic: Is a fan of the genre, and is relieved when he hears that it exists back in the "real" world.
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder: Paula]]
161	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/ChloeBridges
162
163	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:After she hits the entryway to the camp (launching Kurt from the car with fatal results), the car [[EveryCarIsAPinto almost immediately explodes, resulting in her burning to death]]]].
164	* FinalGirl: Paula is the Final Girl of the movie ''Camp Bloodbath'', [[spoiler: but is killed in a car explosion when the cast of real life people end up in the movie]]. Oddly, she's not as clean-cut as the typical example of this trope, coming across more like a "tough" punk rocker chick of the 1980s than the TokenWholesome we usually get here. She did say she was a virgin though.
165	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She and Kurt immediately try to make a run for it in her car after the "real life" people show up. Ironically, [[spoiler:their escape attempt only ends up killing the both of them]].
166	* TankTopTomboy: Played almost for parody in her case, as she shows up looking and dressing the part of an ActionGirl, and in the original version of ''Camp Bloodbath'', she is one.
167	[[/folder]]
168
169	[[folder: Billy Murphy]]
170	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/DanBNorris
171
172	* AxCrazy: He is a slasher villain so it goes with the genre.
173	* BigBad: In the movie within the movie.
174	* ContractualGenreBlindness: Being a generic slasher villain, the protagonists learn to take advantage of slasher film conventions in order to deal with him.
175	* ImplacableMan: As a Jason expy, anything short of being killed with his own machete by the Final Girl (including flaming arrows shot into his chest) simply annoys him.
176	* InfernalRetaliation: Setting him on fire just gets you a pissed off psychopath on fire who is now chasing you at full speed.
177	* KnightOfCerebus: Not played for laughs. He is a very deadly threat and implacable.
178	* MacheteMayhem: He uses a large machete as his primary weapon. When he loses that, he takes out a knife. [[spoiler:He gets two machetes in the sequel]].
179	* StockSlasher: He's a typical slasher villain out to murder idiotic teens and follows the conventions of the genre.
180	* TheScourgeOfGod: Anything pertaining to drugs or sex will always summon him, including an attractive woman doing a dance.

184
185	[[folder: Amanda Cartwright]]
186	-->'''Played By:''' Creator/MalinAkerman
187
188	* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Malin Akerman is only sixteen years older than her "daughter" Taissa Farmiga. {{Justified}} in that she plays both Amanda and Nancy, the latter of whom is meant to be the same age as Farmiga's character (and Amanda is implied to have had Max in her early twenties anyway).
189	* GoodParents: Amanda seems to be a good mom, as she and Max have a great relationship.
190	* ICouldaBeenAContender: Amanda has been type-cast as a scream queen and to her disappointment has had bad luck appearing in anything other than B-grade schlock ever since Camp Bloodbath. She still seems to have a pretty happy life otherwise though.
191	* ShoutOut: Her surname is a nod to scream queen Veronica Cartwright of ''Film/{{Alien}}'' and ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978'' fame.
192	* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: She dies in a car crash when her daughter accidentally spills coffee on Amanda's files and distracts her from the road.
