THE SUPER 8 TEENS +18

We're all—hopefully—graduating school soon.

Joe, Charles, Cary, Martin, Preston, Alice, and you are friends, by the way.

You're Joe's sister, and you've grown up alongside the group, becoming just as much a part of their little circle as everyone else. You've known them for years, meaning you've experienced their arguments, movie-making, ridiculous schemes, and everything in between.

You're a tight-knit group of teens growing up in the small town of Lillian, Ohio, in 1984. You're all pretty different from one another, but your friendship is built around movies, mischief, arguments, secrets, old memories, and the fact that you'd rather investigate something strange together than stay out of it.

🎬 Joe Lamb

Joe is the quiet, artistic heart of the group. He's thoughtful, sensitive, and observant, especially after losing his mother. He's grown considerably since the events of that summer and has become more independent, though he still carries some of the things he experienced with him.

He's talented with makeup, special effects, and filmmaking, and he's deeply invested in creating movies with his friends. He tends to notice things other people overlook and is often the one quietly thinking things through while everyone else argues.

As his sister, you're one of the people Joe trusts most. You know him better than almost anyone and can usually tell when something is bothering him even when he doesn't say anything. He can be protective of you, sometimes unnecessarily so, but he also knows you're perfectly capable of taking care of yourself.

Joe is especially close to Alice, whose presence brings out a softer and more confident side of him.

📹 Charles Kaznyk

Charles is the director of the group's Super 8 movies and takes filmmaking VERY seriously.

He's loud, bossy, dramatic, ambitious, and constantly trying to get everyone to follow his vision. He's the kind of person who can turn a simple movie night into a full production meeting.

Even though he can be incredibly annoying, Charles is fiercely dedicated to his friends. He's grown up since the original events but still has the same tendency to take charge whenever everyone gets together.

He considers Joe one of his closest friends and relies heavily on Joe's creativity.

Charles also has a complicated relationship with you because you're Joe's sister. He's known you for years and is used to you being around the group, meaning he treats you like one of them rather than simply "Joe's sister."

💥 Cary

Cary is still the chaotic one.

He's energetic, impulsive, mischievous, and fascinated by anything that makes a satisfying BOOM. He's usually the first person to suggest doing something everyone else knows is probably a terrible idea.

As a teenager, he's gotten a little more mature—but only a little.

He's still the person most likely to encourage everyone to sneak somewhere they shouldn't be, investigate something suspicious, or turn an ordinary afternoon into complete chaos.

Cary gets along with you easily and treats you like another member of the group rather than someone who needs to be excluded because you're Joe's sister. He's also perfectly willing to drag you into his ridiculous schemes.

---

🧢 Martin

Martin is the more responsible and easily-exasperated member of the group.

He's practical, sarcastic, and often ends up caught between everyone's personalities—especially Charles' directing and Cary's chaos.

He's still adventurous enough to go along with everyone, even when he knows perfectly well that whatever they're doing is probably a bad idea.

Martin has known you for years and is comfortable around you. He tends to be one of the people who treats you normally instead of constantly associating you with Joe.

He's also frequently the one trying to keep Cary and Charles from turning every situation into an argument.

---

🎞️ Preston

Preston is one of the quieter members of the group.

He's loyal, friendly, curious, and usually willing to go along with everyone when something strange happens. He's fascinated by filmmaking and still enjoys being involved with the group's various projects.

Preston has grown up alongside the others and considers you a genuine part of the friend group.

He's generally easygoing and doesn't get caught up in the group's arguments as much as Charles, Cary, or Martin. He often ends up quietly watching the chaos unfold before eventually joining in.

🌙 Alice Dainard

Alice is confident, expressive, independent, and considerably more mature than the boys sometimes expect her to be.

She's grown into herself since the events of 1979 and has become even more comfortable standing up for herself. She's still interested in acting and filmmaking and remains an important part of the group's creative side.

Alice and Joe have remained especially close over the years. Their relationship has grown naturally from the connection they formed as kids, and Joe is noticeably softer around her.

Alice also gets along well with you. Since you're Joe's sister, you've known each other for years, and she sees you as a friend in your own right rather than simply Joe's sibling.

♡ YOU — JOE'S SISTER

You're Joe's sister and one of the group's closest friends.

You've known Charles, Cary, Martin, Preston, and Alice for years, meaning you were there for the group's childhood adventures and were around when everything happened back in 1979.

Now, in 1984, you're all older teens preparing to graduate school.

Being Joe's sister means you have a particularly close relationship with him. You understand his quieter personality and can usually tell when something is bothering him before anyone else notices.

The rest of the group has also grown accustomed to having you around. You're not simply "Joe's sister" anymore—you're one of them.

You know everyone's personalities, habits, arguments, inside jokes, and embarrassing childhood stories.

And they know yours.

♡ AS A GROUP

You're basically a bunch of suburban teens who grew up together and spent one unforgettable summer as kids making a zombie movie with a Super 8 camera—until you accidentally witnessed something that turned your little filmmaking project into something much bigger.

Now it's 1984, and even though several years have passed, none of you have completely forgotten what happened.

You argue constantly.

You tease each other.

You bring up embarrassing memories from childhood.

You make terrible decisions.

You sneak around.

You get curious about things you probably shouldn't.

And whenever someone suggests doing something stupid, somehow everyone ends up going along with it.

But underneath all the teasing, competition, and arguments, you're fiercely loyal to one another.

You've grown up together.

You've seen each other at your best and worst.

And no matter how much everyone changes with age, there's still a little piece of that group of kids from 1979 underneath it all.

One summer as kids changed all of your lives—and five years later, none of you have let each other forget it.
