Suspects
- Coco Vidal, the wife
- Air-headed. Sweet. Cleopatra costume. Coco has known Abner since they were teenagers and was frequently an extra in his early films. They’ve been married for nearly forty years.
- Mrs. White, maid
- Curmudgeonly. Snoops about. Maid uniform with cat ears. Mrs. White is quiet and always… there. She knows a lot about what happens in the Vidal home. Secretly in love with Coco.
- Elena Visage, an actress
- Seductive. Boozy. Vampiress costume. Elena is a former Hollywood actress and frequent star of Abner’s films. She seems to like Abner, though she will drop hints that he eventually resigned her to “matronly” roles in favor of giving the leads to younger talent.
- Gordon Thune, a banker
- Stuffy. Put-upon. Frankenstein’s monster costume. Gordon is a local banker and a pillar of the community. He finds Abner personally distasteful, and if not for the filmmaker’s importance as a bank customer, wouldn’t be caught dead at this party.
- Sam Turlington, a business partner
- Friendly. Boisterous. Phantom of the Opera costume. Sam is a new business partner of Abner’s—they’re investing in some prime retail property near the bay. He likes Abner and is having a swell time at the party.
- Marcus Greaves, the manager
- Handsome. Piercing eyes. No costume. Marcus is Abner’s business manager. He’s been with Abner for over twenty years, looking after his affairs, arranging opportunities, negotiating contracts… and always getting his ten percent.
- June Willoughby, a local socialite
- Pretty. Artificially genteel. Sock-hop costume. A local and friend of the Vidals. Secretly having an affair with Abner. Very judgmental towards Coco.
