Streber (Spooky Month)

Streber is a minor character in Spooky Month. He is a vampire who works at a haunted house. He was one of the victims of Bob Velseb, causing him to lose one of his arms.

His first appearance is in Tender Treats, the fifth episode of Spooky Month, Streber welcomes Skid and Pump to the haunted house, but is approached and attacked by Bob Velseb after they go inside. Bob Velseb had taken off and eaten Streber's left forearm, which becomes known later.

He is then seen trembling and bleeding out on the porch of the house, with Skid and Pump thinking it is just a realistic effect. He also is confirmed to show up in the credits of “Tender Treats” as a salsa bowl with one chip, representing his missing arm.

He then shows up in Streber's Rehearsel, a short. Taking place before the events of Tender Treats, Streber sets up an optical illusion "mirror", which is actually just a digital screen placed in a frame with a camera placed on the side of it. The "mirror" used chroma key, that way when Streber places the guests in front of it, he may use his cape (which is green on the back-covering side) to cloak himself to make it appear as though he is invisible.

He does so while explaining it out loud, which earns a giggle from Ethan. Ethan tells Streber that he put a lot of effort into something that's just going to be used for a simple haunted house attraction, and Streber dismisses the comment. Streber then asks his co-actors to leave so he may work on his project more. He and his friends then foreshadow his arm amputation with the comments "...My arm is starting to get really tired. The last thing I want is for it to fall off.” and “Don’t die on us, okay?”

Streber makes an incredibly brief cameo in Hollow Sorrows, the sixth episode. He is seen in the background at the front counter when Father Gregor is leading the kids outside of the hospital. He is missing his left forearm because of Bob Velseb as well.

Streber has black hair and, in his vampire costume, is seen wearing eyeliner, fake fangs, a white collared jabot with a burgundy overcoat and black pants. His cape is black on the outside, and lime green on the inside. After being attacked by Bob, he is seen missing his left forearm.

Streber is a very smart and enthusiastic character who puts a lot of time and effort in the things he loves. His projects seem to make him very happy, as he's typically cheerful when talking about them and showing them off. Despite him seeming to be a happy-go-lucky character in his first appearance, he is shown to be much more serious and snarkier in everyday life. He did not appreciate his friends goofing off while he was trying to work, going so far as to hush Ethan when he told him, "You put a lot of effort on this. I mean, it's just a haunted house" and throw his notebook at Ethan, Liv, and Leon when they were teasing him.

Streber is alive, he appeared in the background of Spooky Month: Hollow Sorrows. Streber wears reading glasses when writing. His name translates to the male term for "nerd" in German. Funnily enough, in Spooky Short - Streber's Rehearsal, Streber is depicted as having nerd-like mannerisms and wearing glasses. Streber is left-handed. In the sketch Sr. Pelo made on Twitter, Streber happens to be missing his left forearm. Streber's favorite animals are rats. Streber doesn’t have any allergies. In the background of the 'Streber's Rehearsal' short, we can see doodles in his notebook, possibly referencing an interest in art.
