The Pale Lady is an antagonist from the horror movie, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, based loosely on the book series of the same name (which were in turn retellings of urban legends and folk tales), she is one of the few monsters in the movie who was altered in alignment, becoming a fully villainous creature (unlike her book counterpart).
History[]
The Pale Lady manifested when Chuck became separated from the rest of the group during their attempt to get information about Sarah Bellows from a large hospital, as a result he was transported into his own scary "story" by Sarah Bellows, the "story" told of how Chuck was pursued by a monstrous woman-like ghost across the halls of said hospital, which became akin to a maze.
Chuck tried to flee but was helpless against the Pale Lady, who proceeded to hunt him down and ultimate absorb him into herself, erasing him from existence as a result.
Personality[]
The Pale Lady lacks a voice but is shown to have a degree of sadism in her personality, slowly stalking her victim and seeming to enjoy their fear, she also seems to mock the ideas of motherhood as she embraces her victim much like a protective mother, only to consume them in the process.
Like all the monsters in the movie the Pale Lady is in reality a type of thought-form brought to life by Sarah Bellows, which may explain her cruel nature as her personality would be dictated by Sarah and the "story" she opted to create.
Powers / Abilities[]
The Pale Lady is not a physical creature and thus exists much like a traditional ghost (despite not actually being undead), she can trap her victims within a nightmarish maze where she can track them endlessly and appear at will in multiple places, slowly but surely blocking any attempts at escape.
Upon closing in on her prey she has the supernatural ability to consume her victim alive, effectively erasing them from existence, as a being created by Sarah Bellows the Pale Lady will only exist for as long as her "story" is being written, after which she will vanish, however any victims absorbed during the "story" will remain permanently destroyed.
