YMMV / Fright Krewe

• Complete Monster:
  • Belial is a demon who feeds on fear, and serves as the most recurring foe the Krewe face. Centuries ago, Belial manipulated the victimized human Pierre D'Rousseau into making a deal for power; Belial proceeded to lock Pierre inside his own mind and take control of the man's body for his own use. Belial caused a number of tragedies so he could consume the terror of innocents—from an outbreak of yellow fever that killed thousands, to burning down a schoolhouse—and when a headmistress tried to interfere, Belial punished her by removing her mouth and trapping her ghost in the school. Revived in the present day, Belial allies with Mayor Furst to create a supernatural race war, planning to wipe out both sides in a brutal fashion, while getting many innocents caught in the crossfire. Orchestrating Furst's death when he outlives his usefulness, Belial then summons a variety of horrific demons to endanger vast swathes of people, and often manipulates hapless humans into helping him along. After corrupting and toying with the Krewe for the whole show, Belial forces them to destroy the Tree of Life to unleash his full power, at which point he traps them all in their greatest fears—ranging from dying alone, to being forced to choose between saving their mother or their baby sibling. Belial ultimately plans to trap all the citizens of New Orleans into unending nightmares for him to feast on and spread his influence worldwide.
  • Season 2:
    • The Reveler is a giggling demon of excess and chaos who is summoned by Belial to be his chief servant in terrorizing New Orleans. Capable of controlling the bodies of humans with his beaded necklaces that leave his victims' minds aware that their bodies are being puppetted, the Reveler is introduced nearly killing two people to lure the Krewe out. The Reveler endangers a variety of innocents through the series for fun as much as for Belial's plans, to such a point Belial has to hold the Reveler back. The Reveler at one point takes control of dozens of people and threatens them all with self-harm to force the Krewe into compliance, and he gleefully uses a giant, mechanized golem to try to kill a gathering of the city's rougarou, vampire, and human population all at once.
    • "The Bridge" & "The Return": Antoinette du Sang is a vicious vampire. A former friend of Fiona's who believes vampires should remain feral killers, Antoinette, upon finding out Fiona fell in love with a human, slaughtered an entire ballroom of people and spitefully turned Fiona's lover into a vampire. Freed from her imprisonment by Belial, Antoinette happily assists him in terrorizing New Orleans and murdering anybody she can get a hold of. Antoinette threatens to murder Stanley's mother if they don't leave her alone, before promising Fiona that she'll kill everybody she loves.
    • "The Collection" & "The Escape": Gilda is a demon passing as an unassuming old lady whose modus operandi is to prey on the desperate. In exchange for nothing but a simple painting, Gilda will magically solve whatever catastrophe is going on in her clients' lives. Only then does she double around to reveal the true price of her deals: She traps the souls of her unfortunate victims in the painting, where they meet all manners of horrifying deaths before Gilda eats their remaining years and leaves their souls trapped in the painting. A master of Exact Words, Gilda has been doing this song-and-dance for decades, and she's tricked countless dozens into joining the gallery of ever-screaming paintings she has framed in her shop.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Unlike most horror shows aimed at kids, the show is a lot more darker and violent than usual, being chockful of Nightmare Fuel that wouldn't be out of place in PG-13 movie, and not shying away from blood, even showing half-decomposed corpses.
• The Woobie: Missy was only with the group because the teacher unfairly gave her detention. Within two episodes she lost her real team and was nearly killed. Worse, to save her life she had to accept a monstrous curse.
