MALES:
Name: MR. HALLOWEEN (aka Galen of Rain Clan Savage) MAJOR ROLE
Age: sounds about 30-40
Bio: powerful sorcerer (but hides it often, doesn't like to use it), son of a vampyre and a werewolf (don't want to give away too much). He is tall, powerfully built with a strong, commanding voice. He and his partner Twilyte investigate supernatural phenomena around the globe.
Audition line 1: Let's go back to the van first.
I'd feel better with a weapon in my
hand.
Audition line 2: Negatory. Although we do have two
Ghoulies lounging around the lobby.
Audition line 3: I want an explanation of who you
are, what it is you want of me and
a DAMNED good explanation of WHY I
should do it FOR you.
Name: SAUL
Age: late 20's up
Bio: right hand werewolf to Lord Saxon, sometimes not too bright, but primal and passionate. All of his lines are in wolfman form, voice need to be rough and guttural as if partially an animal.
Audition line 1: You'll need to be at your most
clever, Sumner Darkk--for you are
going to meet Lord Saxon if I have
to carry your half lifeless--
ARRRGH! (as he gets cut by a sword)
Audition line 2: Perhaps I underestimated you,
Sumner Darkk.
(beat, malicious grin)
Yet I have still won our match.
Audition line 3: Mr. Darkk, please kneel before Lord
Saxon--or I'm afraid I must be
forced to VIOLENTLY compel you to
comply.
Name: LORD SAXON
Age: 100+ (actual), early 30's up (apparent)
Bio: Lord Vampyre of the Pacific Northwest (known as Wetstar). He is cold, calculating... he's a vampyre, ok? I don't want Lestat, or Dracula, I want something original that really gives me the feel of strength and cold calculating undead.
Audition line 1: Now, impudent NORM, why have you
come here?
(pause)
ANSWER ME OR I WILL SEE THAT YOU
BECOME THAT WHICH YOU MOST DESPISE!
Audition line 2: We will continue our discussion
under more UNcomfortable settings (not a typo, accent on the UN).
Audition line 3: (smile)
My, my, Mr. Darkk. That was quite
a display. I trust you see that
resistance at this moment would be
most useless.
Name: TWILYTE (aka Sumner Darkk) MAJOR ROLE
Age: late 30's to mid-40's
Bio: a scholarly black male, approximately 5'8" tall, a touch of grey in his hair. He is a studier of the occult and the supernatural, and teamed up with Mr. Halloween two years prior to this story.
Audition line 1: Apparently I am not only quick
enough, but clever as well.
Audition line 2: We followed a lead that there was a
Vamp in here somewhere--Not a mindless
BLOOD like we've been coming across
all over the place, but a real VAMP.
Audition line 3: I don't know. We hadn't planned
that far yet. Plan A is usually
'IMPROVISE.'
Name: MADDOX
Age: late 20's up
Bio: large, educated were-bear. As a were-bear, his voice is deeper, stronger and he speaks a little slower and more purposefully, as opposed to the hot-head werewolves. All lines are in bear-form.
Audition line 1: At last you are awake. I trust you
had a pleasant rest.
Audition line 2: If you would care to join me, Mr.
Darkk, I'm sure I can answer most
of your questions--so long as you
answer a few of my own.
Audition line 3: Forgive my rudeness, Mr. Darkk. My
true name would be unpronounceable
to you, but Lord Saxon calls me
Maddox. I am of the Den
HONEYBREATH.
Name: JEREL
Age: early 20's up
Bio: a bear-shaper from a clan opposing Lord Saxon's rule. Deeper voice than a werewolf, but not as purposeful as Maddox.
Audition line 1: Experts who say you two better shut
up before those Legacies hear you.
Audition line 2: (gruff)
We should not be guessing Lord
Saxon's plans, but doing our best
to avert them. The question is, do
we let the Vermin attack us, or do
we attack them?
Audition line 3: Maybe we should take our bear
forms, give greater strength
against these numbers.
Audition line 4: (bear form) I fear that we will come across
your 'couple dozen Shapers' before
too much longer. I fear it greatly.
Name: CULLEN
Age: early 30's up
Bio: a werewolf who decides to leave the employ of Lord Saxon. Not as passionate or as hot-headed as other werewolves.
Audition line 1: (yelling)
Deerstalkers! You shall die with
the two you stand beside if you do
not denounce their cause and pledge
yourselves to Lord Saxon.
Audition line 2: Do you forsake this cause? Lord
Saxon could use the strength of Den
Deerstalker to its fullest
advantage.
Audition line 3: (becoming agitated)
That is a lie, Vania. Lord Saxon is
trying to further the power of all
Naturals, be they Wolfen, Bear-kin,
Crow-clan, or Gator-tribe. He
would not try to take power from
the first den-brother.
FEMALES:
Name: VANIA
Age: early 20's to mid 30's
Bio: very attractive were-bear who befriends Mr. Halloween. She is a leader of her den who opposes Lord Saxon's rule. Deep, rich throaty voice, nowhere near as deep as the male were-bears. Female were-bears have a slow, sultry cadence to their voices.
Audition line 1: Please, Lord Galen, you have no
need of your weapon.
Audition line 2: I am Vania of the Den Deerstalker.
(beat)
I am glad one of our Will-o'-wisps
got to you before Lord Saxon's did.
Audition line 3: (bear form) Who of our community doesn't know
of Lord Galen of Rain Clan Savage?
Also known as Mr. Halloween.
Name: DISA
Age: early 20's to mid 30's
Bio: very attractive were-bear who befriends Twilyte. Deep, rich throaty voice, nowhere near as deep as the male were-bears. Female were-bears have a slow, sultry cadence to their voices.
Audition line 1: (smile)
No need, Mr. Darkk. I'll get the
proper herbs to make this heal by
nightfall. It will still hurt this
evening, but not as much as it
should now.
Audition line 2: (bear form) The magickal barriers prevent
someone not of the den from
entering unless welcomed by one of
us.
Audition line 3: This doesn't look too bad. It's
deep, though, and that could
present a problem.
Name: VAN COMPUTER
Age: none
Bio: the voice of Mr. Halloween and Twilyte's computer in their battle van. Very straight forward and monotone.
Audition line 1: Thumbprint identification please.
Audition line 2: Thank you.
(pause)
Identity confirmed as Mr.
Halloween. Security clearance
granted.
MALE OR FEMALE:
Name: WALKER/ZOMBIE
Age: any
Bio: not your typical zombie of "BRAAAAINS!" These "Walkers" are more like the traditional voudoun zombies. Very strong and purposeful, but slow and sluggish. These are the only lines this Walker has. And yes the third one is needed because he is interrupted and it DOES sound different.
Audition line 1: Galen of Rain Clan Savage, come
with me.
Audition line 2: Go through this door, down the hall
to the 2nd door on the left. Enter
the room and wait.
Audition line 3: Go through this door, down the
hall...
Name: SHAPER 1
Age: any
Bio: random were-creature from Den Deerstalker in animal hybrid form, so a guttural voice is needed. Only the one line.
Audition line 1: (explaining) You are the companion to the Giver.
Name: SHAPER 2
Age: any
Bio: random were-creature from Den Deerstalker in animal hybrid form, so a guttural voice is needed. Only the one line.
Audition line 1: What is he doing for us?
Name: BEAR-KIN
Age: any
Bio: random were-creature in the employ of Lord Saxon in animal hybrid form, so a guttural voice is needed, deeper than others (some can be done digitally on my end, but surprise me).
Audition line 1: We forsake your claim on our Den,
Lord Saxon. (leaving Lord Saxon)
Audition line 2: You can count on the help of Den
Honeybreath. (joining Mr. Halloween)
Name: WOLFEN
Age: any
Bio: random were-creature in the employ of Lord Saxon in animal hybrid form, so a guttural voice is needed.
Audition line 1: As does Den Mooncall. (leaving Lord Saxon)
Audition line 2: And Den Mooncall. (joining Mr. Halloween)
Name: VARIOUS SHAPERS (rats, bears, wolves)
Bio: random were-creature opposing Lord Saxon in animal hybrid form, some in human form, so a guttural voice is needed. I need these lines done a couple times in a couple different voices by all who audition, both guttural and normal.
Audition line 1: Is it him?
Audition line 2: Can it be true?
Audition line 3: Is it
really him?

CIRCUS-13 PRESENTS THE WOLFMAN JOURNALS, a Circus-13 original supernatural tale written by Timm Gillick.
Long before humans existed, there was the Lupus Humanis Maioribus, the Greater Human Wolf, now known as werewolves. They became humanity's protectors of those things from across the Veil: demons, spirits, Fae, the things that go bump in the night.
These are the journals of Jacob Darrow, one of the LUPUS HUMANUS MAIORIBUS. This is his story in his own words, a tale of redemption, savagery, blood and magick.

MALES:
Name: JACOB DARROW
Age: 142 (actual), 25 (apparent)
Bio: one of the Lupus Humanis Maioribus, a werewolf. As a younger man, he was very impetuous, headstrong and quick to anger. As he tells his story (as the narrator), he is calmer, much more focused, and relaxed. Strength comes from his voice.
Audition line 1: My name is Jacob Darrow. I now sit here an old man, telling my tale to those who would follow me in the hopes that it will be believed. What I am about to tell you is not myth, legend, fiction, superstition or lies, but the unadulterated Truth with a capital T. At my last birthday, I turned 142 years old. I may not sound that old, but I assure that I FEEL that old.
Audition line 2: The year was 1875 when I first realized I wasn't human. I was ten years old, growing up in a small town called Freedom, Kansas. This place was the basis for a few pulp Western adventure stories by the late, great, Samuel Darrow, my father.
Audition line 3: Over those next seven years, traveling with my Uncle David, I learned how to be a cowboy, how to ride a horse, rope a cow, control a herd, and best of all... (beat, smile) How to shoot a rifle and a pistol.
Name: SAMUEL DARROW
Age: 200+ (actual), mid 30's to late 40's (apparent)
Bio: Jacob's father, he instructs Jacob in the ways of the Lupus Humanis. A mellow, strong-willed, confident man.
Audition line 1: Mr. Stephens, glad you could make
it. Please, sit down.
Audition line 2: Mr. Leland doesn't like it that I
put wolves in most of my stories,
does he?
Audition line 3: I hope not, son. But I don't
think Mr. Leland will let us stay
in this house if I'm not writing
for him.
Name: DAVID DARROW
Age: (apparent) mid 30's to late 40's
Bio: Samuel's younger brother, he's been wandering around Texas fighting those creatures the Lupus Humanis oppose. Slight Texas drawl, very friendly voice (until pushed). His last line needs to be more guttural as he is in wolf-man form.
Audition line 1: We get settled in, you wannashoot some more?
Audition line 2: (reluctant)Well, Sam, me and the boys waswondering if you've told Jacobabout the family secret yet.
Audition line 3: (as a wolf-man) Hurry, Sam. It's stirring.
(beat)
I'll call the rest of the boys. (howls)
Name: MR. STEPHENS
Age: early to late 40's
Bio: assistant to a publisher who puts out Samuel Darrow's stories. Very educated and understanding, but the bearer of bad tidings.
Audition line 1: (weak smile)
Not exactly, Sam.
(beat, hesitant)
But it IS about a dog.
Audition line 2: I know, Sam. I know. But Mr.
Leland thinks that a jungle story
would be better than another
Western. He wants something with
a big CAT, because he likes cats
better than dogs.
Audition line 3: (sigh)
All right, Sam. I'll let Mr.
Leland know.
Name: BOBBY MILES
Age: (apparent) early to late 30's
Bio: One of Samuel's closest friends, essentially his right-hand man and unofficial leader of the group of werewolves in the area. An easy-going, laid back confident, competent fighter. Slight Texas accent
Audition line 1: (as a wolf-man) (panting heavily)
Okay. Tell me. Why are we
keeping one of them alive?
Audition line 2: A man, human. Long white hair, a
beard black as coal. He has
three fingers on his left hand
and a scar that runs...
Audition line 3: (sigh)
I'll go. If only to keep you out
of trouble.
Name: DEER STALKER
Age: (apparent) late 20's to early 40's
Bio: Native American born Lupus Humanis, he is a combination fighter/shaman. Strong voice, ultimately capable of handling anything thrown his way.
Audition line 1: (as a wolf-man) (panting)
He fights a mountain troll alone!
Audition line 2: Your father is quick and cunning
like Coyote. He will find a way
to get free.
Audition line 3: I will go with you. Only to find
the Hunter.
Name: ENGLISH EDDIE BROWN
Age: (apparent) late 20's to early 40's
Bio: Born and bred in London, he moved to the USA because of the wide open areas and more room to hunt. Can be a little prissy at times, but not often. English accent required.
Audition line 1: (as a wolf-man) Foul wenches! You shall not take
another of us this night!
Audition line 2: Yes, Jacob. I have seen your
father avoid a trio of trolls as
he was providing a distraction so
Robert and I could escape. He is
quite cunning. A single troll
should provide him no trouble
whatsoever.
Audition line 3: I still think it is a HORRID
idea.
(beat, sigh)
But you can count me in as a
fellow companion.
Name: FOMORIAN
Age: any
Bio: In Irish mythology, the Fomorians, Fomors, or Fomori (Irish Fomóiri, Fomóraig) were a semi-divine race who inhabited Ireland in ancient times. They may have once been believed to be the beings who preceded the gods, similar to the Greek Titans. It has been suggested that they represent the gods of chaos and wild nature, as opposed to the Tuatha Dé Danann who represent the gods of human civilization. Large, lumbering giants. This one is on the bad guy's side. Deep voice, taunting.
Audition line 1: Don't run! You'll only die
tired! HA HA HA HA HA!
Audition line 2: Why'd you all start whispering?
Praying silently before you meet
your maker?
Audition line 3: Hey! Where ya going? Ya want to
die over there? Think it's
prettier? No skin off my nose.
Name: GLENN "RAILROAD" MASON
Age: (apparent) late 20's to early 40's
Bio: Called
Railroad because he could find a
way onto any train that was still
on the tracks. He rode from one
end of the country to the other,
all for free, and all in plain
sight of the railroad officials.
No one knows how he did it, and
he isn't talking.
Audition line 1: So what's the big deal about a
hunting pack? Isn't that just a
group of y'all hunting?
Audition line 2: He's more than just your uncle,
Jacob. He's probably the toughest
warrior from our den.
Audition line 3: He went "solo lobo." Lone Wolf.
About 50 years ago. And no one's
heard from him since, we all
assumed he was dead.
Name: JAVIER PALMER
Age: (apparent) late 30's to late 40's
Bio: “deformed” by Lupus Humanus “standards.” He can’t change his shape in any way. He is stuck as a human, however he ages just as slowly. THESE ARE HIS ONLY LINES, Slight Mexican/Southern accent.
Audition line 1: I could show you magicks that are"hands on" as you say. Magicks
that could blow off the front of
this hous...(interrupted by a blast). UGH!
Audition line 2: I agree, Jacob. Your father
wouldn't want those things falling
back into the Hunter's hands.
Audition line 3: What's wrong with magicks?
Audition line 4: Yes, but...
Audition line 5: What?!
Name: THE HUNTER
Age: (apparent) early 40's up
Bio: Formerly a mage and assistant to the Lupus Humanis, a tragic accident turned him against them and made him want to slaughter every last werewolf. Evil, dark, menacing, brooding, not a very nice guy.
Audition line 1: I, young Jacob Darrow, am The
Hunter. And I've been looking
for you.
Audition line 2: If you want to see your father
alive again, young Jacob, you will
do exactly as I say.
Audition line 3: Find them. I will
contact you in three days with
instructions as to where to bring
them.
Name: ASHER DARROW
Age: (apparent) mid 40's to late 50's
Bio: Samuel's oldest brother, the word "grizzled" was invented for him. He fought at the Alamo and everything went downhill from there. A consumate fighter and natural leader, he is very gruff, but kind to those whom he cares about.
Audition line 1: The goddamn Hunter is back, huh?
Samuel didn't kill him off like he
thought.
Audition line 2: You're my brother's youngest son,
eh? Stand up here, let me get a
look at you.
Audition line 3: (appraising)
Hmm, taller than your brother, and
your dad, too, I bet.
(pause)
You're the warrior in Alpha Pack.
Name: GHOST OF JIM BOWIE
Age: (apparent) 40 years old
Bio: ghost of the famed Texan who gave his life at the Alamo, inventor of the Bowie knife. His voice should be a little wavery (being a ghost), but no effects (those will be handled by the producer).
Audition line 1: Who seeks the knife of Bowie? Have
you come to steal from the dead?
Audition line 2: Who speaks thus to Jim Bowie?
Audition line 3: Asher... I... I died. You left us
there!
FEMALES:
Name: HARPY 1, 2, & 3
Age: any
Bio: In Greek mythology, a harpy ("snatcher") was any one of the mainly winged death-spirits best known for constantly stealing all food from Phineas. The literal meaning of the word seems to be "that which snatches" as it comes from the ancient Greek word harpazein, which means "to snatch". The harpies were sisters of Iris, daughters of Thaumas and Electra. Three creatures with the bodies of carrion birds and the heads of women and screechy voices.
Audition line 1: This food is strong!
Audition line 2: But this food will be FILLING!
Audition line 3: If this food will STOP fighting!
Name: CARLA SULLIVAN
Age: (apparent) early 20's to late 30's
Bio: strong attraction to English Eddie, she has a slight Irish accent and doesn't speak a whole lot. The lines below are her three longest speaking lines. She also has a wolf-man form and you need to rough up your voice for that line.
Audition line 1: You're sure it's in that canyon
somewhere?
Audition line 2: (wolf-man form) YOO-HOO! MISTER EARTH ELEMENTAL!
Audition line 3: He just reached into its side...
(pause)
He's got it! He's got the stone.
Name: MARSHA PALMER
Age: (apparent) early 20's to late 30's
Bio: sister to Javier, she is the alpha female of the group. Very caring, a healer, and strong-willed.
Audition line 1: So what? He's....
(beat, realization)
He's NOT dead?
Audition line 2: I'm not sure you boys should go
through with this.
Audition line 3: We're short one person with Samuel
gone.
Name: EMMA MASON
Age: (apparent) early 20's to late 30's
Bio: wife to Railroad, she is also a healer and quite happy living a simple life (and occasionally fighting the things from across the Veil). She revels in the kill more than the other women at times.
Audition line 1: You want to form a Hunting Pack
with us? Are you sure?
Audition line 2: He's right, Jacob. And you don't
have to ask. He's our den-brother,
not just your father.
Audition line 3: I'm sure your dad had his reasons
for putting the ring here.
MALE OR FEMALE:
Name: REDCAP
Age: any
Bio: also known as a powrie or dunter, is a type of malevolent murderous goblin, elf or fairy found in British folklore. They inhabit ruined castles found along the border between England and Scotland. Redcaps are said to murder travelers who stray into their homes and dye their hats with their victims' blood (from which they get their name). It is said, redcaps must kill regularly, for if the blood staining their hats dries out, they die. Redcaps are very fast in spite of the heavy iron pikes they wield and the iron-shod boots they wear. Outrunning the buck-toothed little demons is quite impossible; the only way to escape one is to quote a passage from the Bible. They lose a tooth on hearing it, which they leave behind.
Audition line 1: (placating)
Be not afraid. I come nae ta do
ye harm.
Audition line 2: The wee chap should nae be
scared. Comfort him, Samuel.
Audition line 3: (hisses, in pain)
HSSSS! Ye nae be needing that
again me! I bring ye no harm!
Name: TROLL
Age: any
Bio: A troll is a fearsome member of a race of creatures from Norse mythology. Originally more or less the Nordic equivalents of giants, although often smaller in size, the different depictions have come to range from the fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of England (also called Trolls at times, see Troller's Gill) – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills, caves or mounds.
Audition line 1: I shall deal with the young one
next.
Audition line 2: Attackers of the Sisters of Iris!
You shall pay for your errors!
Audition line 3: RRROOOAAARRRR! Who dares enter
into combat with the Sisters of
Iris?!
