Survivor Halloween 2018 5e Undead- Wraith WINS!

I make these suggestions admitting I have no idea what has, and has not, been done already.

Horror Movie Villains (Jigsaw, Jason, Freddy, etc)
Horror Movies (in general)

Both excellent ideas! I try to have some sort of D&D tie-in, however.

Well, with the villains, I recommended that one because of my own DMing influence. The villains of horror movies each have a distinct personality (and tentatively, an alignment). If you take Jigsaw, as an example, he's a 'villain' who could never recover from his grief and became a vigilante - he thought he was punishing people who didn't appreciate life.

This is classic DnD adventure context for the origin of a villain - so you could tie the theme together with how these villains influence DnD villain creation, inspiration, or even informational guidelines. "This villain was clearly lawful evil - that's a great way to run lawful evil in my campaign."

Some ideas:
Skill (and/or Tool) Proficiencies
Best Subclass "Capstone" (this might be a little awkward as they are sometimes different levels)
Cantrips
Ritual spells
Buff spells

I was pulling for the Skellington, but Wraith is fine by me. Tolkien wins again, technically, since Wraiths were originally Nazgul.

Have we done monster types (Aberration, Undead, Ooze, Plant, etc.) yet?

 

[Dausuul]

What about skills? I don't think we've done 5E skills. There are 18 of them, so enough for a good contest.

Have we done enough Survivor Threads to do "Survivor: Survivor Threads"?

 

[Lanefan]

Have we done enough Survivor Threads to do "Survivor: Survivor Threads"?

Long since, I suspect.

But there's always room for one more: how about "Survivor: the weapons edition" that pits all the various D&D weapons against each other...without wielders...

Rug of Smothering wins by default: THAT is why the weapon wielders are missing.
