R.B. Farraday
A famous director of campy horror movies and the founder of Fright Camp, a fantasy summer camp for horror movie lovers. However, the campers soon realize that Farraday is slightly unhinged as more and more kids are subjected to horrific accidents that may or may not have been planned in advance...
- Mad Artist: He seems way too into the idea of creating horror movies.
- Manipulative Bastard: It turns out that Farraday was secretly filming everything that went on in the camp for a documentary, and did so without any consent from any of the campers except for the actors he planted in. Farraday basically exploited the adoration of his fans and nearly traumatized all of them permanently for shooting a movie. When the kids find out they've been played, they get pissed.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Has an obsession with measuring and seeing the fear in the campers' eyes.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Farraday appears to be a parody of famous director William Castle.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He flees the camp halfway into the book, leaving a note saying he can't keep hurting the kids. It's just another ruse to screw with the kids.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Of two characters from the original series. Like Mr. Wright of "A Shocker On Shock Street", he works on famous horror movies and terrorizes his fans by seemingly bringing his movies to life. And like Uncle Al from "Welcome To Camp Nightmare", he's the borderline abusive director of a summer camp where traumatic things happen to gouge emotional responses from the protagonist.
- Would Hurt a Child: Well, he's perfectly okay with scarring them for life emotionally and mentally.
