Dott — Desiree
Desiree’s character Dott began with a last-minute clown costume when the haunt needed a roaming finale. She describes the name as a playful reference to the period at the end of the haunt—with an extra T for personality.
Her performance mixes unpredictability with comic relief, drawing on her experience in scare acting, makeup, and costumes.
Tomí — Jerry
Jerry traces his early creative inspiration to Wes Borland’s elaborate stage makeup and a garage haunt at his family’s home. Tomí is his masked chainsaw character, built around the fictional story of an abandoned orphan.
Together, Desiree and Jerry describe the work of rebuilding a temporary attraction, running a small haunt, and creating characters that audiences remember.
