October 2018 SWG Challenge B-Movie banner showing a dragon-like monster in the style of a movie poster

This month's challenge is a Matryoshka challenge based on the predictable plot arc of the hilariously abominable, eye-rollingly corny, so-bad-they're-actually-kinda-good horror films. Your fanwork does not have to be a horror story, but prompts will be loosely inspired by the plot arcs of these films. (Please note that prompts are not horror-specific. Any genre of fanwork can be created based on these prompts, although there may be a special reward for participants who attempt a horror fanwork.)

Never tried a Matryoshka challenge before? See our FAQ: What is a Matryoshka challenge and how does it work? If you want to request a prompt set, contact the moderators. Make sure to specify of you would like a Beginner (two prompts), Easy (three prompts), Medium (five prompts), or Difficult (seven prompts) set. You may request more than one set.

Credit: TVTrope's slasher movie entry was an invaluable source of inspiration in designing this challenge and titling some of the prompts.
