Classic Aesthetic

Doctor / Surgeon:

• Scrubs or lab coat with ID badge

• Stethoscope, fake scalpel, or clipboard

• Surgical gloves, mask (optional for comedy or creepiness)

• Can add fake blood, rubber organs, or dramatic brow furrow

​​

Coroner / Forensic Specialist:

• Button-up shirt, tie, lab coat

• Clipboard with “autopsy report”

• Rubber gloves and a bone saw (fake… probably)

• Optional: snack while describing gore in vivid detail

​​

Psychiatrist / Therapist:

• Tweed blazer, glasses, notepad

• Calm voice, unsettling metaphors

• Asks other guests deep, uninvited questions

• Occasionally whispers, “And how did that make you feel?”

• Stylish blouse, glasses, lanyard

• Leather journal labeled “Case Studies: Highly Suspect”

• Subtle accessories—like a pen that doubles as a tranquilizer (joking… or not?)

​​

Nurse (Modern or Vintage):

• Scrubs or retro white nurse dress and cap

• Clipboard, pen, or tray with mysterious pills

• Calm expression, but eyes that say “I’ve seen things”

• Optional: switch from caring to terrifying instantly

​​

Lab Researcher / Mad Scientist:

• Lab coat over a chaotic outfit or formal wear

• Goggles, gloves, a petri dish, or glowing “serum”

• Talks to test tubes like they’re people

• Bonus points for a scorched name badge

​​

Psych Ward Patient (Unhinged, Innocent, or Genius):

Unsettling Look Ideas (gender-neutral):

• Oversized hospital gown or pajama set

• Slippers or bare feet (cleanish)

• Messy hair, wide eyes, or haunting calm

• Wristbands, “Property of Facility” ID tags, scribbled notes on arms

• Carries around a doll, sock puppet, or origami made of medical bills

 

Accessories for Everyone:

• Syringe pen, pill bottles (labeled things like “TRUTH – take with water”)

• X-rays or MRIs with cryptic notes

• Clipboard with fake diagnoses like “Acute Suspicion Syndrome”

• Bloody gloves, face mask, or slightly scorched lab notes

• ID badge from fake institutions like “St. Malpractice General” or “Institute of Unhinged Inquiry”

• Medical file folders labeled “Top Secret,” “Experimental,” or “Patient 0”

​

Character Behavior Tips:

• Casually diagnose other guests with nonsense:
  “Classic case of cocktail-induced narcissistic paranoia.”

• Write cryptic things in your chart like “Subject twitched. Noted.”

• Refer to partygoers as “patients,” “subjects,” or “samples.”

• Murmur things like “The experiment is going better than expected...”

• Constantly adjust someone’s vitals—or pretend to.

• Introduce yourself by title: “I'm Dr. Midnight (as a nickname to your character's name). I specialize in things you fear.”

Whether you’re prescribing pills or paranoia, this medically-minded cast adds drama, danger, and a healthy dose of dark comedy. Just remember: your costume may be clean… but your hands probably aren’t.
