Gregory Horror Show/Characters

In order of (more or less) their first appearance in the anime... (Will probably use a different sorting method in time.)

Several characters share the following tropes:

• Anthropomorphic Personification
• Meaningful Name
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant
• One-Scene Wonder

Gregory

• Anthropomorphic Personification: It is very strongly suggested he's the physical form of desires and dreams...his hotel/world is a manifestation of chaos.
• Butt Monkey: Becomes this in The Bloody Karte
• Crusty Caretaker
• Dirty Old Man: He loves porn magazines...BrainBleach is right over there.
• Evil Laugh: Well, more of a chuckle, but still...
• One-Winged Angel
• You Dirty Rat

The Guest

The Guest is the main character of the first two seasons, with everything seen from their eyes. The First Guest is a working man with a wife and son, and the Second Guest is a working woman who struggles with the decision of Career Versus Man.

• And Then John Was a Zombie
• Badass Normal: The Second Guest deserves this for the fact that at one point she, rather than just take Gregory's BS, picks up an ax and chases him off with it.
• Downer / Bittersweet Ending: Neither Guest manages to escape the hotel, and returns to stay forever. The First Guest quite likely becoming Haniwa Salaryman, and the Second Guest becomes a member of Gregory's family.
• The Faceless
• No Name Given
• Pet the Dog: Both guests engage in this more than once.
• POV Cam
