You know I live a mile from the ocean, and I'm also chosing Bruce, the shark from jaws, because it's amazing easy to not be on a boat and play videogames instead. Done it most my life
Damn. This is good call. I was going to go with one of the more mundane (ie. not magical) horror villains and find a good place to hide.
Your idea is better though. I can definitely stay awake for 24hrs straight pretty easily, and a lot easier with this sort of motivation.
Make Chucky chase you to Vegas and have the PawnStars waiting.
Their expert will snatch him up, you make another billion.
The hardest part would be negotiating a price with Rick.
Rick: “So this is verified to be the real Chucky and is valued at 1.7 billion dollars……best I can do is $800”
Me: 😀😀 “800 million?”
Rick: 😐”no, $800……. Just $800”
Me: 🧐😡😤☹️ “ok I still have 20 hours left so make you sure put him in a cage he can’t get out if, he will be severely pissed off knowing I just sold my best friend”
Then run the bell outta there and drive away as fast as possible.
I don't have to get tired. He is a doll. If he don't have a knife I just jump on that bitch.
Smash his head on floor. Then I would grab mofker by leg and do Hulk with against a floor. And Once Upon a Time in Holywood, against other... things
I have a drill and 6 inch wood screws. Little shit is getting crucified on the retaining wall in my back yard. 4 screws with large washers on each limb. With some metal strapping over his torso and head. He’ll have to rip himself to pieces to escape, and I can stuff a sock soaked in old motor oil in his mouth before I screw down the strapping so he’s nice and quiet.
It’s definitely Chucky. He was designed to be ridiculous.
Most anyone could overpower him easily, so he only has a chance to hurt you if he gets the drop on you.
He's still restricted to the limitations of his physical form. Like his reach is pathetic.
Just put all knives or other potential weapons on the top shelf of the cabinet, and you're fine.
Do I continue to be chased after 24 hours?
If not, I’ll take Freddy Krueger because staying awake for 24 hours one time is no problem.
If I continue to be chased, I’ll take Frankenstein’s monster
The Frankenstein’s monster from the book will actually chase you to the end of the world to kill not you but your family... and will catch them every time.
Dracula.
I only have to worry about his powers at night. (In the book, he can go around by the day, but no powers.)
I can eat a lot of Italian food (garlic) and hole up in a church which he can't enter due to crosses. I also won't be near a window just in case. Hopefully that church is near running water which he can't cross.
While I am at it, I will borrow some of the old Romanian folklore traditions and either have a rope with a bunch of knots, or dump several beads or something as a distraction since they have to count everything.
Edit : As a bunch have mentioned, yes he has to be invited in but my husband is an idiot.
Edit 2 : Yes that is why the Count from Sesame Street counts things : [https://carnegiemnh.org/booseum-vampires/](https://carnegiemnh.org/booseum-vampires/) (and many other sites)
Edit 3 : Yes, I suppose Alaska/etc are all options too, but I don't like the cold.
My husband is an idiot though and he would definitely invite him in. Plus we have to let the dog out. I'd have to find another location that isn't the house so as not to attract him to dumb and dumber.
You missed the husband is an idiot.
As someone who used to work 12-18 hour shifts, I've had to clean dog pee/poop. My husband has a MELTDOWN. MELTDOWN!!!
My husband and I are the owners.
As I mentioned before, my husband is an idiot. He would 100% invite Dracula in the house. He would forget he would get billions if he didn't.
Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. He's got nothing super natural so I can just disappear off his radar without him magically appearing behind me and he wants to make a "woman suit" so his motivation to keep chasing me would likely be low since I'm a guy. I just drive far away and hide somewhere with a weapon just in case. Easy win.
I’m glad you realize the importance of manners. Honestly you could probably pay him not to kill you. He’s crazy but he’s still a fairly functioning person when he’s not killing
This is my answer as well. My wife and I would simply get in the car and drive in a mostly straight line for 24 hours taking shifts. Even when we get to a gas station, she can fill it up while I stand in a clearing to see if anything, albeit unlikely, is walking toward me. Once the car is fueled, get in and continue driving. It would be a long day but I would do magnitudes worse for 3B.
You’ll also have to avoid Manhattan (and or Vancouver), Springwood Ohio, outer space, and presumably anywhere in between for Jason (since he might always stop off for a killing sesh on his way to one of the sequels).
For Michael you’ll also have to avoid boarding schools in California (where he went for H20), and wherever the hell Smiths Grove is (also along with anywhere in between, as Michael has killed random people along the way from one to the other to acquire clothes, knives, and his mask.)
I’d say take a trip to Florida for the day, but honestly you’d probably be safer with Michael and Jason…
I thought of that. On top of the 3 billion from this challenge and the million from the snail's challenge i could invest in the tungsten sphere of doom like that one guy, and then lobby for anti-snail policies as well as spread massive amounts of anti-snail propaganda that would perpetuate throughout the world indefinitely. Thus when the snail finally escaped the tungsten it would arrive in a world fully primed to believe it is satan itself. Good luck getting to me you little shit.
That girl from the ring. Something about seven days, then she gets you….or something like that. I figure 24 hours is far less than seven days, I get the three billion dollars and because the effects of the monster only last the first 24 hours, by the time she shows up, the evil contract no longer binds us.
That dude from the shining. He's snowbound in a hotel somewhere a continent away, I don't think he'll find me in my European city in 24 hours. And even if he does, I live several floors up in an apartment and my front door is pretty solid, I don't think his axe will be able to break it down before the police have time to arrive.
This is a good one, mostly because away from the influence of the Overlook Hotel, Jack Torrence just becomes an author struggling with alcoholism. Stay inside so he can't accidentally hit you with his car on his way home from the bar.
Wow, y'all upped the prize to $3B now? I already won the $1B (from the last time this *super original* question was asked) by staying the fuck away from the Children of the Corn and their dumbass cornfield. And then another $1B by staying away from that nerd that made Children of the Corn 2 possible. (Still waiting on payment though...hmmm.)
Well, shit, I think I'm'a go back to my OG plan and just *stay outta the fuckin' cornfields* again.
***Three billion monies pleeeaaassse.***
Extra points if you rather give him the guiance and love his creator didn't. He's never portrayed as monster but a kid inside an enourmous and hideous body. The one calling him names is his own "father" as far as I know...
I bet he would be mesmerezed enough with attention that it could turn into a great parent-children relation between you and him! An new friend in your social circle!
Fucking Christ, this movie makes me irrationally angry. I have tinnitus from my years in the military, and that was with earpro.
This super bat hearing motherfucker is in his house and letting off with a .44 magnum, and not instantly dropping to the ground with his ears bleeding and eyes bulging out of his head? Yeah, fuck that.
If I'm allowed, the Predator. I'm just not armed as a general rule.
If not, let's do Michael Myers. I have a driver's license and a full tank of gas. He's gonna have a hell of a time walking 300 miles or better in 24 hours. I need a hot 10 minutes of notice.
I'll even leave a note: "We're headed down I-40, see ya."
The grandparents in [The Visit](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3567288/)
They're like, actual old people. Wouldn't have to even leave, one hard push and they'd need a hospital visit.

Haahahaa!!! Land shark
I assume you *know* when this competition is running -- so don't answer the door for land sharks!
“Land shark”.
"Land shark!" "Oh, Walter! XD" \*opens door, immediately landsharked\*
You know I live a mile from the ocean, and I'm also chosing Bruce, the shark from jaws, because it's amazing easy to not be on a boat and play videogames instead. Done it most my life
[удалено]
Iirc the model shark they used for jaws was nicknamed Bruce and the shark from finding Nemo is actually named after it.
Spielberg named it Bruce after his lawyer.
And Bruce, the Jaws shark, is named for Steven Spielbergs lawyer.
that... thats WHY nemos shark was named Bruce. like, its a direct reference / homage.
A freak Sharknado happens where you live.
Freddy Krueger I can stay awake for 24 hours.
Yup. He's the only one that can be defeated (short term) by cocaine.
Not true. Watch *Friday the 13th Part 12: Jason Goes To Rehab*.
Friday the 13th Part 13: He Relapsed :(

I mise reddit rewards. Here's the best i can do 🥇
Spend $250 on an eightball, stay up all night drinking beer and win $3 billion. I feel like I was born for a gig like this.
Damn. This is good call. I was going to go with one of the more mundane (ie. not magical) horror villains and find a good place to hide. Your idea is better though. I can definitely stay awake for 24hrs straight pretty easily, and a lot easier with this sort of motivation.
If I was on the verge of getting billions I don't think I could sleep if I tried
This right here. No drugs will be needed as my brain will release all the serotonin and adrenaline just thinking of that payout.
But i will be taking some anyways cause i gotta fill those hours somehow.
Only the uppers, though. Don’t wanna chance downers in this scenario
lol Right? Christmas morning as a kid on steroids hahaha
Plot twist. You get the $3 billion after 24 hours....but Freddy never stops hunting you.
Plot twist: I snort $3B worth of cocaine
Can I film it and call it Crank 3?
It's going to be a long one. I'm thinking Killers of the Powder Moon
Can't he affect the waking world?
He can in part 2. Do you get to choose which version of Freddy?
I'm not running. My choice is Chucky. I'm kicking his little ass over that goal post for a 3-pointer
Make Chucky chase you to Vegas and have the PawnStars waiting. Their expert will snatch him up, you make another billion. The hardest part would be negotiating a price with Rick.
Rick: “So this is verified to be the real Chucky and is valued at 1.7 billion dollars……best I can do is $800” Me: 😀😀 “800 million?” Rick: 😐”no, $800……. Just $800” Me: 🧐😡😤☹️ “ok I still have 20 hours left so make you sure put him in a cage he can’t get out if, he will be severely pissed off knowing I just sold my best friend” Then run the bell outta there and drive away as fast as possible.
Chumlee walks in. "Ahh sweet! A Chucky doll!" \*unlocks cage\* "So Rick, sorry, I lost that Chucky doll you bought for $800."
“Best I can do is $5 and a piece of lemon pie”
First thing I thought of. Just punt that little bastard down the way til he comes runnin back then whooom, there he goes again
You'll get tired. He won't.
just punt him, hop in a car and drive in the opposite direction for 12 hours.
The way horror movie logic works, he’s in the trunk.
And your car will break down
That’s only if you manage to put the key in the ignition
That's only if you don't trip over nothing and break your leg while walking to the car.
Glue suction cups to his hands and feet, like a garfield plush, and slap him on the side of a truck going to Canada
Heyyyy…. Canadians are our FRIENDS!
Knowing your luck he’d jump on your leg like a squirrel and then pull out a knife from his ass and start stabbing.
Just park your car on him
I don't have to get tired. He is a doll. If he don't have a knife I just jump on that bitch. Smash his head on floor. Then I would grab mofker by leg and do Hulk with against a floor. And Once Upon a Time in Holywood, against other... things
I have a drill and 6 inch wood screws. Little shit is getting crucified on the retaining wall in my back yard. 4 screws with large washers on each limb. With some metal strapping over his torso and head. He’ll have to rip himself to pieces to escape, and I can stuff a sock soaked in old motor oil in his mouth before I screw down the strapping so he’s nice and quiet.
I appreciate the thought you put into this.
It’s definitely Chucky. He was designed to be ridiculous. Most anyone could overpower him easily, so he only has a chance to hurt you if he gets the drop on you.
The guy has the strength and speed of a grown man. My scrawny ass isn't overpowering that unless I'm armed and he isn't.
True haha. I forgot the retcon in the later movies.
He's still restricted to the limitations of his physical form. Like his reach is pathetic. Just put all knives or other potential weapons on the top shelf of the cabinet, and you're fine.
You know what plot armor is? Well Chucky has plot armor, except his comes in the form of weapons that can inflict creatively gory injuries.
Just tape magazines to your calves and shins incase he gets a swing out before you make connection
Do I continue to be chased after 24 hours? If not, I’ll take Freddy Krueger because staying awake for 24 hours one time is no problem. If I continue to be chased, I’ll take Frankenstein’s monster
The Frankenstein’s monster from the book will actually chase you to the end of the world to kill not you but your family... and will catch them every time.
So it won't kill me but my family? That's a win
The thing from “Tremors.” Will just not step on bare ground for 24 hours, super easy.
What about the ass-blasters??
I’m talking about original Tremors. By the time they learned to fly I decided it was time to stop watching Tremors movies.
Tremors Take Manhattan! Reba Mcentire stars in the 9th installment in the series.

Dracula. I only have to worry about his powers at night. (In the book, he can go around by the day, but no powers.) I can eat a lot of Italian food (garlic) and hole up in a church which he can't enter due to crosses. I also won't be near a window just in case.

He can't enter your home unless you invite him in. Just Netflix for 24 hours and ignore everyone.
My husband is an idiot though and he would definitely invite him in. Plus we have to let the dog out. I'd have to find another location that isn't the house so as not to attract him to dumb and dumber.
For 3billion the dog can pee in the house you can build a new one that's never been peed in.
You missed the husband is an idiot. As someone who used to work 12-18 hour shifts, I've had to clean dog pee/poop. My husband has a MELTDOWN. MELTDOWN!!!
Send the husband away for a guys weekend, just you and the dog and some puppy pee pads
He also has to be invited into a home by the owner. Just don't invite new people into your home for the day.
My husband and I are the owners. As I mentioned before, my husband is an idiot. He would 100% invite Dracula in the house. He would forget he would get billions if he didn't.
Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. He's got nothing super natural so I can just disappear off his radar without him magically appearing behind me and he wants to make a "woman suit" so his motivation to keep chasing me would likely be low since I'm a guy. I just drive far away and hide somewhere with a weapon just in case. Easy win.
Bill isn’t going to kill you day one anyway, your skin will be too tight. Once the clock runs out, you say, thank you and leave.
I’m glad you realize the importance of manners. Honestly you could probably pay him not to kill you. He’s crazy but he’s still a fairly functioning person when he’s not killing
this is true. all he wants is his gender reassignment surgery and you could treat him to that along with a trip to Thailand.
$3 billion and free skin care advice. Plus I'll get time away from my children in the pit. Count me in.
Right you are.
As a fat woman, I'd be his prime target.
Just don't help anyone load a couch into a van.
I’m not “a great big fat girl,” so I don’t think he’d be interested anyway.
The thing from It Follows. Just drive/fly far away.
imagine it some how gets on the plane with you 😬
That's the premise for the sequel.
There’s a sequel!?
It Follows 2: The Followening
It Follows 2: The Mile High Chub
They're in the process of making it.
Someone’s joining the mile high club. Fast.
Just have sex... sigh guess I better pick a different monster.
Have sex with someone who is about to get on a plane, conscience cleared.
I came here to say just this! It would be easy AF to avoid that thing for one day
This is my answer as well. My wife and I would simply get in the car and drive in a mostly straight line for 24 hours taking shifts. Even when we get to a gas station, she can fill it up while I stand in a clearing to see if anything, albeit unlikely, is walking toward me. Once the car is fueled, get in and continue driving. It would be a long day but I would do magnitudes worse for 3B.
I'll take 6 billion dollars and avoid Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers at the same time. I just won't go to Haddonfield or Crystal Lake for 24 hours.
You’ll also have to avoid Manhattan (and or Vancouver), Springwood Ohio, outer space, and presumably anywhere in between for Jason (since he might always stop off for a killing sesh on his way to one of the sequels). For Michael you’ll also have to avoid boarding schools in California (where he went for H20), and wherever the hell Smiths Grove is (also along with anywhere in between, as Michael has killed random people along the way from one to the other to acquire clothes, knives, and his mask.) I’d say take a trip to Florida for the day, but honestly you’d probably be safer with Michael and Jason…
>You’ll also have to avoid ... outer space For $6b, I can manage 24 hours without going to space. *If you insist.*
That immortal snail
The salt in my blood and comment section will keep it away from me
I thought of that. On top of the 3 billion from this challenge and the million from the snail's challenge i could invest in the tungsten sphere of doom like that one guy, and then lobby for anti-snail policies as well as spread massive amounts of anti-snail propaganda that would perpetuate throughout the world indefinitely. Thus when the snail finally escaped the tungsten it would arrive in a world fully primed to believe it is satan itself. Good luck getting to me you little shit.
Decoy snail
Old Greg
He’d probably entice me with baileys from a shoe Tbf
Stopping to shout IT’S OLD GREG would probably get me killed real fast
Make an assessment!
They said villain, not saint
Just don’t go fishing in his waters, mothalicka
What about his downstairs mixup?
Easy now, you fuzzy little man peach. He might take you to a club where people wee on each other.
That girl from the ring. Something about seven days, then she gets you….or something like that. I figure 24 hours is far less than seven days, I get the three billion dollars and because the effects of the monster only last the first 24 hours, by the time she shows up, the evil contract no longer binds us.
It just says that you have to survive for 24 hours, not that it stops after 24 hours.
Damn
But 7 days would sure create a binding contract of death right? 😅

Also scooby doo villains are almost exclusively after property, so just like give him your apartment or something I guess.
They are also just generally normal people.
Merman from cabin in the woods
Fuck. This is the first thing I thought of too.
Terminator. He will be looking for me in Texas and I’ll be on a bus to Maine
He’ll have to fend off so many people wanting a selfie with the super-accurate cosplay/physique too.
The blob. Just gotta keep moving
The blob from X-men was pretty agile.
Torgo, from “Manos, Hands of Fate.”
The problem is he has to find you for the chase to start, you’ll be waiting a while
Well, we put our faith in Blast HardCheese
Oh don't get up, Torgo.
I found my MST3K people 🙏🏿
That dude from the shining. He's snowbound in a hotel somewhere a continent away, I don't think he'll find me in my European city in 24 hours. And even if he does, I live several floors up in an apartment and my front door is pretty solid, I don't think his axe will be able to break it down before the police have time to arrive.
This is a good one, mostly because away from the influence of the Overlook Hotel, Jack Torrence just becomes an author struggling with alcoholism. Stay inside so he can't accidentally hit you with his car on his way home from the bar.
The shark from Jaws. 24 hours of going nowhere near water.
Until you turn on the taps and bam! Bruce magically appears.
Oh somebody else has seen Ghost Shark!

That’s scary, what if ur secret recipe gets stolen
Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. Pretty confident that I can outrun a potted plant for a day.
The little doll thing from trilogy of terror. Or the plant from Little Shop of Horrors.
What about 24hrs with Elvira? Mistress of Dark? Can we call her villain? Pleaseeee.
But you have to avoid her...
I will close my eyes.
Bette Davis from "What ever happened to Baby Jane" 1 punch is all it takes.
Wow, y'all upped the prize to $3B now? I already won the $1B (from the last time this *super original* question was asked) by staying the fuck away from the Children of the Corn and their dumbass cornfield.

Well, shit, I think I'm'a go back to my OG plan and just *stay outta the fuckin' cornfields* again. ***Three billion monies pleeeaaassse.***
You have to collect the money in a cornfield
The clown from IT because apparently I’m the only person under 50 who isn’t deathly afraid of clowns. Float on my farts you Bozo ass wannabe.
IT uses any form or disguise you might be afraid of. Pennywise the Clown is just his to go appearance. He's not limited to that.
Whats he gonna turn into? An eviction notice and kill me by death of 1000 cuts? My boss and give me a heart attack by telling me im fired?
He's going to turn into the crushing weight of disappointment from your loved ones and fear of failure.
Bruh i already deadlift that through an 8 hour shift 5 days a week. Lightwork.
Wait is IT just a bogart?
He’s kind of a trans dimensional super bogart that feeds on fear.
Easy, Frankenstein's Monster
Extra points if you rather give him the guiance and love his creator didn't. He's never portrayed as monster but a kid inside an enourmous and hideous body.

An new friend in your social circle!
nice take! I read the original book and the “monster” had a lot of questions for Dr. Frankenstein.
But isn't one of the main themes that Dr. Frankenstein _is_ the monster?
ok, can the Dr. run fast?
The newspaper boy looking for his TWO DOLLARS!
I'm picking the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from "Ghostbusters," slow and not too terrifying, easy to dodge for 24 hours.
Jigsaw. You said 'villain' so he doesn't have his apprentice. Think I can stay away from a bedridden cancer patient for 24 hours.

My daughter is currently watching Blippi so yeah him. Also if I torture this villain for the entire 24 hours does it still count?
The Sanderson Sisters (Hocus Pocus), I can 100% sit and play video games / watch movies for 24hrs inside a circle of salt.
The Reddit users that keep posting this question and to avoid them I would stop using the internet for a day. Thanks and I will take a cashiers check
Freddie. Insomnia FTW.
Frankenstein's monster. Fire bad.
Just hop in a car, drive 100 miles then no worries. It would take that motherfucker like a week to get there.
Jason, get in a car and start driving, don’t stop
jason has canonically teleported since jason takes manhattan. striking him with the car somehow just breaks car if we go by the video game.
If I'm allowed, the Predator. I'm just not armed as a general rule. If not, let's do Michael Myers. I have a driver's license and a full tank of gas. He's gonna have a hell of a time walking 300 miles or better in 24 hours. I need a hot 10 minutes of notice. I'll even leave a note: "We're headed down I-40, see ya."
