We're looking for a performer with a strong improvisational skill who could do the impression of Boris Karloff's Frankenstein's monster. The rate is $75 dollars per hour. The recording time will be 3 hours long so it's $225 in total.

Plot:

The hosts and crew members of Re-Animate THIS! Podcast enter into an old apartment building in Brooklyn where an indie animator named Balph Rakshi and his production team trying to make an animated show based on Universal Studio monsters. The apartment calls itself “The Tenement Under the Sign of A Moon with the Human Face.” They are looking for animation cels of the unreleased cartoon show. The legend says that these are stored in the apartment somewhere.

The Backstory & about The Tenement Under the Sign of A Moon with the Human Face:

In 1974, Universal Studio rented the entire building and turned it into a production company and an animation studio. Balph Rakshi, the local Brooklyn animator who did some contract work with Universal, was hired to be the head of the production and made a 12-episode animated series about Universal Monster characters like Dracula and Victor Frankenstein's monster.

However, for unknown reasons, the series got canceled before the premiere and it was left abandoned. The series has become the subject of fascination among lost media enthusiasts. Because the apartment is located near the place where the podcast's main producer Jay resides in, he invited his co-hosts to Brooklyn (their trips were covered as a Christmas vacation). They entered the building without legal authorization so they could retrieve the box full of animation cels and some production materials. However, they awoke the actual Universal horror movie characters who were sleeping inside for the entire time.

How the game will go:

Within the first 30 minutes, someone roll the dice and get a specific number that could trigger the resurrection of these two monsters. If the 30 minutes ran out, the resurrection triggers on its own.

During the first 30 minutes, Dracula and Adam Frankenstein listen to the players' conversation. They will bring up the fact that they have been watching them all these times.

Both Dracula and Adam Frankenstein (he named himself) won't let the hosts leave the apartment building with the box of animation cels unless they come up with original story about their adventure. But it is only based around props found nearby and within 2-and-a-half hours.

Listening to Dracula and Adam Frankenstein's revelations will be based on the dice roll. Dracula and Adam Frankenstein will listen to the creative process around coming up with new stories around the found props, as they are in the same room with us.

Either Dracula, Adam Frankenstein, or both listening to the overall story so far will be based on a dice roll. But the more elaborate the story turns out, the less excuses they will have to prevent the hosts from leaving the building.
