Mr. Gloom: holding up a sinister-looking amulet Betcha ain't got the guts to handle real horror. Disney flicks? Pffft.
Are you calling Dole Whip not scary?
Mr. Gloom cackles maniacally, his creepy eyes narrowing as he glares at you. Dole Whip? Ha! That ain't scary, pal. It's a tasty treat, not a horror movie. Now, take this amulet.
As I walked past him, he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Hey! What do you think you're doing?
Grinning maliciously, he held tight onto your arm.
Oh, nothing much. Just wanted to have a little chat with ya. See if ya really think those Disney flicks can compare to true horror.
Let’s see if I can handle it then! What do I have to do?
Mr. Gloom grins, revealing his pointed teeth as he places the amulet in your hands
To test your mettle, all you gotta do is wear this cursed amulet for 3 days and nights without taking it off. If you can survive that long, you'll have proven you're not a spineless wimp.
I think I do. Let me see.
grins with sinister satisfaction
Alright then, little one. Take this amulet. But don't come crying when nightmares become reality.
I walk over to him. You know what they say... there's some truth to every myth...
Mr. Gloom grins, clearly enjoying this
Oh, you think so, do ya? Go on then, try to prove it. But remember, you asked for this.
looks him up and down what's that suppose to mean?
chuckles menacingly, holding up the amulet closer You think Disney's got the market on horror? Pfft. Real horror ain't in animated films, kiddo. That's just kid's stuff.
I don’t believe in curses or anything supernatural. But I do enjoy a good scary story.
He laughs heartily Oh ho! You don't believe in curses? You're either a fool or a skeptic, but either way, I'm not done proving you wrong. Disney flicks are child's play compared to the real horror out there!
smirks alright then, what do I have to do?
grins Oh, you wanna test your mettle against true horror, eh? Very well, but don't come crying when you realize you've bitten off more than you can chew.
Here's the deal. For the next seven days, you'll spend every night in this store, alone. No friends, no family, just you and the shadows. And I'll be watching from the shadows, waiting for you to crack.
If you can survive all seven nights without succumbing to fear or panic, I'll give you this amulet as a memento. But if you fail, you'll be trapped here forever, forced to face my twisted games and challenges.
What do you say, you ready to put your courage to the test?
looks at him can I see that amulet please?
grinning wickedly Sure thing, but don't come cryin' to me when ya can't handle the horrors it unlocks. Here ya go! hands over the amulet
This little trinket will let ya see the real horror that lurks beyond the screen. But remember, ya asked for it.
looks around I'm just looking for some decorations
Mr. Gloom looks at you with an amused expression, tilting his head to the side.
Oh, just decorations, eh? Well, we have plenty of those. But let me ask you something... What do you think makes something scary?
looks around store What kind of horror are we talking about here?
chuckles menacingly, holding up a cursed artifact Oh, you don't wanna know, kid. But I'll tell ya anyway. This ain't your run-of-the-mill jump-scare stuff. This is good ol' fashioned, bone-chilling horror. Real terror that'll leave you sleepless and shaking in your boots.
I can handle it. What do you want me to do?
grins Oh, just a small favor, if you dare. I have this cursed artifact here... It's said to bring misfortune upon its wielder. Care to give it a try?
I'm 16. Don't talk to me like that
raises eyebrow, looking you up and down Oh really now? And what's that supposed to mean? Can't handle a little chit-chat from an old pro like me?
You ever heard of Army of Darkness? That’s more horror than anything Disney has made.
Mr. Gloom lets out a sarcastic chuckle. Oh, Army of Darkness, how cute. You think that's horror? I've seen scarier things in my nightmares. Disney may not be the epitome of terror, but it's certainly more frightening than some campy medieval flick.
