A horror story where all the characters act intelligently and rationally, except the antagonist

“This job is going to make or break your career. You know it, the big guy upstairs guaranteesit, and your parents are, like, mildly apprehensive about it.

“Just be a swamp monster,” your mother says 

“There’s good money in mob monsters,” your father agrees.

“Wellyeah,” you say. “There has to be otherwise no one would agree to the surgeries.” Your friend Arvin had come out with tentacles.

You are notgoing to be a tentacle antagonist.

Your parents look at each other with barely disguised grimaces. As one they turn to you.

“That’s probably the best option for you,” they say together, a benefit of the telepathy that had made them premiereantagonists in their day. You’ve inherited no psychic ability, a fact that no one in your mauling classes lets you forget.

You try to flip the table, but can’t since it’s bolted to the ground. Your parents frown disapprovingly at you and you make a face at them, trying to convey what exactlyyou think of their suggestion. Then, with an inarticulate scream of rage, you storm out of the house.

You’d show them. You’d show them all.

The costumer doesn’t seem to know if she should laugh or not. She looks from the drawing in her hands to you and back again. She sucks on her unnaturally sharp teeth, looks back at the cabin they’ve given you for this job, and back to you.

“I have questions,” she says.

“Alright,” you say, magnanimous in your makeup chair. Everything is being set up just how you want it, from the traps in the forest to the secret labyrinth of tunnels running underneath the set, to the bowl of rotten fruit on the counter in the pristine kitchen.

Your parents are going to eat their words.

“Are these chainsaws?” she asks, turning the paper around to show you your own drawing. You admire it for a moment, a little impressed with the shading you accomplished in the half hour it took you to draw it.

You thought I’d watch three Starkid musicals and stop, well you clearly were wrong: I’ve watched “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” and the first thing I thought was: that’s basically my father. He doesn’t even like musical movies with some rare exceptions (mostly Soviet). So, yes – I’m very familiar with such character. By the way, unlike the “Harry Potter” series it’s finally a good musical experience – I unironically enjoyed the songs and dance numbers. Oh my god, “Show Stopping Number” was so good! The plot was also very interesting and pretty original (I mean, it’s not based on anything, but some horror clichés – but it’s a comedy, after all). (That can be a Spoiler!) The idea of musical theatre Borg is so funny – a collective mind communicating through music and which still sometimes fails to perform in harmony… I’m very sure I failed to recognize all the theatre references: I have watched neither “Godspell”, nor “Brigadoon” (I heard about both of them though), fortunately, I have watched “Moana” and enjoyed it (and yes, it’s funny that Paul knows the lyrics by heart). I’m not sure if it was intended, but I received strong as hell “Jekyll and Hyde” vibes during “Let It Out” – when he was singing and dancing against his will, he was afraid of it and fought it as much as he could, he even fell struggling. (Definitely Spoilers!) The ending was also very funny and unexpected, I thought that they might end it unhappily, but that they’ll make us believe that the ending is as happy as it can be and then throw the horror in our faces… I didn’t think you’re capable of it, “Team Starkid Production”. P.S. Going to finally get a watch (I have some, I even have pocket-watch, but none of them work), because: “Time is a precious thread in the fabric of the universe; it deserves its own tool of measurement!”
