Main Characters
These are the mobile inhabitants residing inside the house that the player can talk to and swap items with. Although nice to begin with—bad choices may lead to meeting all of them—none are to be completely trusted. Voiced by: Dennis Daniel
Gahan Wilson
The house's deceased owner. Named after the game's conceptual artist. His first appearance is in the foyer as he gives you your mission. He may appear evil or good at times depending on the current affect «formula 429» has had on him. He wants the scroll of 13 o'clock really badly—but both Gahans have a different use for the item. If you get the scroll it is best to put it in the compacter to attract one of the Gahans, if the good Gahan comes then let him have it, if the bad Gahan comes then crush him, either way this will reduce the houses anger at you to zero. At the start of the game, Gahan opens with the following greeting:
Byron Price
A child transported into the house using the ray in the Monster Lab by Doctor Synthesis. Named after the game's publishing company's founder. He is a fragile child that does not want to see disgusting things or else he feels faint. You should not trust his hands with a dart—hurting himself in this manner may take away his innocent personality. He prefers toys and musical instruments to play with. It is lucky to have him around as he often warns you if a monster may shortly enter the room.
Countess Vena Cava
The vampiress resides inside the house to avoid the sun. Although, named after veins she strongly dislikes vain people—this is what causes her disliking of mirrors—so it is a bad idea to give them to her, as she will break them and leave the bad luck for you to take! She prefers body parts, sources of blood and musical instruments to dance to. She is most cooperative during the day but more vicious at night as feasting time is drawing closer. Giving her a bomb will not make her explode, and she'll respond with a calm demeanor: «What did you think would happen?» If you give her the magic scroll, she'll feel insulted and lash out with the following: «How dare you deny me what I want!»
Doctor Synthesis
On the run from the law, this mad scientist resides in the Monster Lab with his clumsy assistantIgor. Named after the chemistry term, this rather aggressive character prefers body parts, and useful inventions for his daily needs and experiments. His theory is that if you damage or disrupt the house, it becomes angry and dangerous. He really dislikes children. The good doctor is said to bear a strong likeness to actor Christopher Lloyd.

Frankenstein
Based on and named after the classic fictional character, Frankenstein is a rather innocent creature if you create him. But if Evil Gahan creates him, he's not so cooperative. However, if you give him the electric eel he will start calling you «master» and treat you like he would have if you had made him. He prefers forms of electricity and a lower order life blob as far as items go. However, breakable items are strictly not to be given to him or else he may break out into a rage. To create him, you need to assemble him in the monster lab along with a brain, heart, blood I.V. and a clockworks.
Herbert and Chauncey
This double-headed monster carries double the appetite. Acting as the house's second garbage disposal after the living bin in the kitchen, they eat almost all of your items. Mostly disgusting filth and body parts. Very talkative and vocal creatures- they may also taunt you with self-composed songs.
Other Characters
These are the fixed-room inhabitants residing inside the house that the player can talk to and swap items with.
The Garbage Can
Meet him in the kitchen and throw random items away that you don't need, and the garbage can will give you a new item in return. Try and throw away the same item, and he'll either reject it or give it back to you, telling you to keep it. This is one of the harmless characters you'll encounter in the game. Click on him to hear him talk or say a random funny thing. Do not give him toxic waste, poison, or anything dead/rotting, he will either give you garbage can puke or a foul smell. Both of these items you can give to Herbert and Chauncey, the two-head monster. He also can't stand feet kicking him...
Hint Line Man
An «unseen» character who can only be heard by clicking the phone in the foyer. He will give you special tips, advice on what to do in the game and heed warnings, i.e. encountering certain monsters, what not to do, etc. Sometimes he'll sound friendly and un-rushed at the start of the game, other times, he'll sound hurried because he «only has one dime left.»
Igor
Doctor Synthesis' clumsy, slow-witted lab assistant. When you enter the monster lab, Igor will hold your bag for you, and sometimes check for any important items needed in making a monster, i.e. brain, clockwork gears, blood i.v., heart, etc. Build a monster correctly and Igor will encourage you to use the animator raye to make the monster dance. Build a monster incorrectly, and it won't work. Igor will talk to you, give you suggestions, and offer you advice on building your ultimate monster. If you decide to shut Igor up, you can click on his mouth and tape will appear, and you can hear his muffled reply. Click the tape on his mouth to enable his speech.
Iron Maiden
The Iron Maiden in the wreck room will aide you in capturing a random character in the house. Laying out a good item will get a good response out of her. If you lay out a bad item, she'll reject it. If you arrive in the wreck room early in the beginning of the game, you will run the risk of encountering the green zombie ghoul. This is the only character in the game who speaks with a southern accent similar to Dolly Parton.
Drac-In-The-Box
A malevolent and not-so-friendly Jack-In-The-Box version of Count Dracula. He'll appear when he finds out the player (you) is unable to escape the attic. Him and his evil toy rocking horsepartner Rocky will corner and threaten you until they make you give up items from your bag. Give Dracula a bomb and he'll explode. This is a good way to shut that annoying Jack-In-The-Box up.
Napoleon Bust
Seen sitting on a pedestal in the art gallery, Napoleon is practically one of the useless characters in the game. Clicking on the clay bust will enable him to quickly adjust his Tricornhat, stick his tongue out at you, or say something random. If you give Napoleon what he wants, he will graciously accept the item. Done twice, he will give you a key in return. Unfortunately, if you give Napoleon an item that he doesn't want, he will ultimately turn his «back» to you. Giving Napoleon a bomb will cause him to explode, finding a key inside. This goes the same for when you hit him with the mallet from your bag and shatters into a million pieces.
Noreen Rickets
The skeleton woman sitting alone in the library. Initially warning you not to turn the page of the book she is reading as it will cause her to fall down, crippled onto the floor due to a curse that was placed upon her. Giving her a spell book, crystal ball and hand mirror however, will temporarily cure her and help her back up onto her stool. She may also warn you with the following phrase if a monster is about to enter the room, «Run For Your Life!»
Oven
An old, antique, out-of-date oven for you to cook disgusting soups on the stove-top and bake nasty goodies. This oven speaks with an elderly female voice. Leaving something in the oven for too long while you're exploring another part of the house, you will not get anything. Baking something inside correctly will either get you a key or a Crow Pie.
Parrot
A comical and sometimes-rude bird in the menagerie. This Parrot is among one of the harmless characters found in the game. If you click on him, he'll tell you random things like never to annoy the Gorilla. He'll also offer you special tips, advice, and what else you can find in the house. Feeding the bird certain foods that he find appealing, he'll lay an egg for you. When you obtain the egg, you can open the egg on the cutting board and find a key inside. Feeding the parrot foods that he won't like or reject, he'll defecate. Giving the parrot a bomb from your bag will cause him to explode and disappear from his cage. Feeding him an electric eel will reduce him to a roast bird. If the player finds the cage empty, they can click and drag the egg to the cage, and over a short period, the parrot will appear. Dragging items like the Swiss Army Knife or Dart to the parrot will make him squawk in pain and make him angry... Feeding him will settle him down and make him pleasant again.
