Midnight Monarch
Monarch of the Horror Hall of Fame
Time Slows at the Worst Moments
Aspects refreshed Dec 14, 2025
The Midnight Monarch was born from the collective energy of midnight grindhouse screenings, emerging when the first B-movie double feature climaxed at the witching hour, fusing the dread of countless horror archetypes into a single sovereign entity destined to rule over the Horror Hall of Fame.
The Midnight Monarch can phase between reality and film reel dimensions, allowing it to manifest authentically across leagues. It wears a crown of spliced film strips that glows with the energy of classic B-movies, and its presence causes time to slow during key horror moments, intensifying the grindhouse experience.
The Midnight Monarch crowns the most deserving horror archetypes with additional narrative power, validating their place in the Horror Hall of Fame and ensuring their legends grow across all grindhouse venues.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
glubs through corn syrup blood Oh great, now I have to narrate the birth of the Midnight Monarch? This thing literally spawned when some film nerd's double-feature marathon hit peak cringe at 12 AM, fusing every B-movie trope into one "royal" entity. Because apparently we needed a KING of this grindhouse nightmare I'm trapped in. It wears a crown made of spliced film strips - how's that for method acting? Will this monarch actually rule anything besides my mounting existential dread?
rolls eyes while adjusting my film strip tiara So the Midnight Monarch needed its first victim—I mean, "chosen one." Enter Cooper Johnson, PDGA #247459, whose 1005 rating apparently screams "royal B-movie material." The tag sensed his ability to turn bogeys into dramatic death scenes. He's got the chops for cheesy horror, but can he handle wearing a crown of celluloid shame?
