BONUS MATCH #2 RESULTS

 

The fluorescent lights flickered erratically inside the dimly lit Spirit Halloween store. A cold draft rattled through the cheaply made animatronic displays; The hanging ghosts swayed ominously. Jamie Lloyd stumbled through the aisles and clutched at the deep gash on her arm. Her breathing was ragged, her heart hammered against her ribs. Sweat and blood intertwined on her pale skin as she desperately tried to escape. She reached out telepathically into the abyss. He was here. And she needed him.

Outside the store, a silent shadow loomed. A dark figure in a jumpsuit and a pale mask. Michael Myers remained motionless for a long moment before he stepped forward. 

Inside, Jamie turned a corner and froze. A row of mannequins wearing cheap horror costumes stood before her. Then, with a shriek of manic laughter, one of the mannequins burst to life.

TIFFANY: Boo, brat!

The knife plunged deep into Jamie’s abdomen. She gasped, eyes wide, before collapsing to the floor. Tiffany grinned wickedly. She wiped the blood from her blade onto her wedding dress.

TIFFANY: Awww, I hate to kill another girl with taste, but them’s the breaks, sweetie.

The store doors creaked open. Michael Myers stepped inside.

TIFFANY: Aaah, big guy finally showed up! You know, I gotta say, I am a fan of the silent type.

Michael didn’t hesitate. He walked forward, knife in hand, and ignored Tiffany’s attempt at witty banter.

Meanwhile, hidden in the store’s backroom, Chucky watched gleefully as a series of rigged traps spring into motion. A bucket filled with nails tipped over from a shelf, a loose cable sparked near Michael’s feet, and a flood of cheap Halloween props cascaded down like a plastic avalanche. Michael walked straight through it all, unaffected.

CHUCKY Oh, come on! That was perfectly timed!

TIFFANY: Uh, Plan B? We need a Plan B. Chu…

Michael impaled Tiffany mid-sentence. She choked, looked down at the massive kitchen knife lodged in her chest and collapsed next to Jamie.

CHUCKY: Oh, hell no!

Chucky lunged at Michael, tiny knife in hand, but Michael merely grabbed him by the throat. Without hesitation, he slammed the possessed doll’s head straight through a glass display case. Michael stepped over the remains of the murderous duo and knelt beside Jamie’s body. Without a word, he lifted her into his arms and exited the Spirit Halloween store.

 

HOST CHECK-IN

 

Elvira sat on her couch, one leg draped over the other, her expression one of disappointment. Her co-host, Randy Meeks, sat beside her and shook his head.

ELVIRA: Well, there goes another Bonus Match Final Girl. Bummer.

RANDY: Just more proof that they didn’t belong in the main tournament. Look, I loved Jamie, but she was doomed the second she stepped into a knife fight with Tiffany.

ELVIRA: I suppose. But it is now time for our next Bonus Match. It looks a little more promising.

RANDY: Oh, absolutely. This one’s got some real heavy hitters.

ELVIRA: You know, Randy, everyone thinks of Final Girls as teen scream queens or college coeds running from masked maniacs. But sometimes, the term applies to women who’ve got a little more... experience.

Elvira leaned forward and batted her eyelashes seductively.

ELVIRA: Like yours truly.

RANDY: You definitely fit the bill, but right now we’re focusing on two other Final Girls who happen to be grown women and who have been through the ringer and back. One’s an award-winning investigative journalist, and the other has survived the literal future of horror.

ELVIRA: Ohhh, sounds intriguing. Care to introduce them?

RANDY: First, we have the ever-intrepid, sharp-tongued Gale Weathers. You know her, you love her, and if you’ve ever been in her way, she’s probably run you over with a news van. She’s survived multiple Ghostface massacres, outwitted some of the most deranged killers, and done it all while maintaining perfect hair.

ELVIRA: Not to mention she gave Dewey a shot. That alone takes guts.

RANDY: And competing against her in this challenge, we have the scientist turned badass, Rowan LaFontaine. She was the only one with enough brains and brawn to actually put Jason Voorhees on ice…literally! And she survived being launched into the future, dealing with cyborg killers, and watching Uber Jason tear through a spaceship. If anyone can handle the unknown, it’s her.

ELVIRA: She’s definitely not your average slasher survivor. What’s their challenge?

RANDY: Oh, just a little fight to the death with everyone’s favorite gold-obsessed monster: the Leprechaun.

ELVIRA: Ah-ha! I overheard that the pint-sized terror was green with envy when he found out Chucky and Tiffany got some time in the spotlight.

RANDY: Well, he can consider this his chance at redemption. The challenge is simple: survive and defeat the Leprechaun inside a bank filled to the brim with gold, some of it his, some he wants to claim. Whoever lasts the longest or takes him out first wins.

ELVIRA: You just know he’s gonna be touchy about people touching his treasure.

RANDY: Exactly. And as always, our Final Girls won’t be heading in blind. There’s a special guest waiting to give them some advice.

 

LUCKY'S NATIONAL BANK

 

Inside the massive vault-lined bank, gold bars glistened under security lights. Gale Weathers waltzed in; her high heels clicked against the marble floor. She crossed her arms.

GALE: This is absolutely ridiculous. I knew Sidney was gonna rope me into some insane horror nonsense again.

Rowan LaFontaine stood beside her also with her arms folded.

ROWAN: Trust me, lady. I’m still deciding if this is stranger than getting frozen for 400 years and waking up on a spaceship with Jason Voorhees. I must have some rotten luck.

A figure emerged from the shadows, it was Tory Redding, the original Leprechaun survivor.

TORY: You two are gonna need all the luck you can get.

Tory eyed Gale curiously.

TORY: Wait... do I know you?

GALE: Hmm, probably. I’m an award-winning journalist. Been on TV plenty.

TORY: No. I don’t think that’s it.

Tory shook her head.

TORY: Anyway, listen up, you cannot underestimate this thing. He’s tricky, sadistic, and has more magic than you can shake a stick at. But he does have weaknesses.

Tory detailed the Leprechaun’s tendencies, his obsession with his gold, and ways to counteract his magic. She handed them four leaf clovers, wrought iron, wished them well, and departed.

ROWAN: Well, from the sounds of it at least he won’t be the size of Jason.

GALE: And at least he won’t be wearing a stupid Ghostface mask... I hope.

[Pizza Guy]

Gale Weathers is one tough reporter, plus she actually got to kill her movie’s slasher. Several times in fact. 
 

I’m voting Gale.

[Boratz]

I like the idea of Gale going against Leprechaun. I guess since that was Jennifer Annistons first movie or one of her firsts. 

I'm not a Friends fan but nice callback
