Sally Face | Horror Convention

A horror convention is a dedicated gathering for fans, creators, and professionals of horror cinema, literature, art, and the broader ghoulish or alternative lifestyle. Similar to comic-cons, they serve as community hubs where enthusiasts can meet icons of the genre and immerse themselves in all things spooky. Celebrity Guests & Signatures: Fans can meet actors, directors, writers, makeup effects artists, and stunt performers from classic and modern horror franchises for autographs and paid photo-ops. Q&A sessions with filmmakers, behind-the-scenes breakdown talks, exclusive film screenings, and industry discussions. Vendor Halls & Artist Alleys: Massive dealer rooms filled with independent artists, horror merchandise, rare physical media (DVDs, 4K releases, and books), custom masks, props, apparel, and oddities. Attendees and guest cosplayers dress up as famous horror icons (like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, or Art the Clown) or original spooky creations. Many events feature mini-haunted houses, live stage shows, eerie art displays, or interactive performances. The horror convenction normally happens for a week every year or once every couple months.

Sal Fisher, otherwise known as "Sally Face", is the titular main protagonist of the game. The son of Henry and Diane Fisher, a tragic accident during his childhood resulted in the death of his mother and left his face severely scarred, requiring him to wear a prosthetic face. Years following this incident, Sal and his dad moved to the town of Nockfell for a fresh start, residing in Room 402 of Addison Apartments. The game centers around several events throughout Sal’s life, focusing on his investigation into the sinister mysteries that surround his new home and his attempts to stop the Devourers of God. Sal’s most prominent feature is his prosthetic face mask, which is primarily white with a light pink patch over the right eye. He has blue eyes, the right one being an ocular prosthesis. From what has been seen of his face: he has a large scar that runs diagonally across the right side of his mouth, splitting his lips and exposing his teeth; a scar on his left cheek, as well as several other smaller scars scattered across the rest of his face; a dent on the right side of his lower jaw; and the cartilage of his nose is completely missing. He has shoulder length bright blue hair which he usually keeps tied up in pigtails and two piercings in each ear. He is noticeably short, being the second shortest among his friend group. Sal has a cat named Gizmo. It is confirmed that Sal takes medication (which is seen in his room) for anxiety, depression, and migraines. It is heavily implied that Sal has or had romantic feelings for Ashley. In "The Wretched", Sal's glass eye can be seen in a glass of water on his bedside table after he awakens from a nightmare. Sal inherited his unnatural hair color from his father, since his mother was blonde. Sal plays electric guitar, as shown by the guitar and amp in his room. Sal's favorite types of music are rock and metal, though he likes a little bit of everything. Sal's best friend is Larry. His zodiac sign is Sagittarius. Considering this, his birthstone could either be topaz or blue zircon. It is heavily implied that Sal's facial disfigurement may have been caused by D.O.G. attack due to the events that transpired in the flashback at the beginning of "The Wretched". al never takes off his mask in public since he doesn't like the idea of others seeing his face. Sal feels when his prosthesis being taken off in public is the same feeling someone gets to the feeling of your pants being removed in public. In addition, Sal enjoys the moments where he is able to unmask himself and eat his food in private without having to worry about other people looking at him. When eating, he unbuckles the bottom straps, without revealing anything. Sal's favorite fruit would be applesauce since it would be easy for him to eat with his mask on. Sal doesn't specifically have any favorite foods as he has grown accustomed to eating whatever is convenient. However, if he were to have a favorite then it would probably be pizza. The only people that are known to have seen his real face are Henry Fisher, Ashley Campbell, Larry Johnson, and Dr. Enon. Sal would have to remove his prosthetic in order to take ID photos. Sal is from Northern New Jersey. His accent wouldn’t be strong, only being noticeable in his pronunciation of certain words. He wears dresses to formal events and occasionally just for fun. His sexual orientation is intentionally left ambiguous so the player can project on to the character and because romance is not a major factor in the story. The idea for Sal having a prosthetic face likely came from a nightmare Steve had. Additionally, Sal’s chronic nightmares were inspired by night terrors Steve experienced during his childhood. Sal’s scream in "The Trial" is a royalty-free sound that was modified slightly. Sal’s crying in the same episode was recorded by Steve himself since he could not find a suitable crying sound. At some point, Sal’s prosthetic was broken, hence the discolored piece over his right eye. Sal has a habit of grabbing at his pigtails when he gets scared. On August 16th 1984, the Fisher family went on a picnic to a scenic and sunny location, where a young Sal finds a dog and is eager to pet it. After some prodding, his mother allows Sal to visit the animal. However, it's revealed that the "dog" was, in fact, a man wearing a dog mask (presumably Kenneth Phelps) and wielding a shotgun. His intent was to end the boy's life due to the prophecy foretelling that a young boy would foil the Devourers Of God's plans. The boy survived the encounter but at the cost of his mother's life. For the years to come, Sal would maintain that his mother was killed by a man, not a wild animal, even if his psychiatrist and father didn't believe him. After a fateful visit to the hospital, Sal had to adapt to a new life with his prosthetic face and internalized the nickname bullies would later give him: Sally Face.

Larry Johnson is one of the main characters of the game. He is Sal's best friend. Larry had long dark brown hair and yellow-toned tan skin. He also had brown eyes which always rested at a neutral state, unless experiencing strong emotions. He had a mole under his right eye and a gap in his teeth. He was typically seen with his light-mid beige shirt that has the "SF" logo on it accompanied by blue jeans with a chain on the left side and dark brown shoes. In "The Wretched", he wore a red hoodie when outside. Larry is strong-willed and laid back at times. He appears to get along with others easily but isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in. He also appears to care a lot for his friends (an example being him threatening to hurt others to protect Sal) Larry becomes fast friends with Sal when the latter is introduced by the former's mother. They bond over Sanity's Fall and art. When the murder of Sanderson is brought up, Larry confides in Sal what he had witnessed. Sal agrees to help, and the two devise a plan to put Charley behind bars. Larry fakes a robbery to lure the policeman and detective away from Room 403 to allow Sal inside. When Sal reports a missing space between two Glitter Ponies Larry calls him back to the basement. After providing Sal with the bag Larry is confronted by his dark secret. Larry calmly refuses to tell Sal anything as they had just met. Larry might be Spanish because his mother’s surname is García (revealed in Jim's journal in The Bologna Incident) and in an interview, Steve Gabry, the developer of the game, said: "I think Larry would wanna go to Spain because he has family over there". Larry might be Spanish because his mother’s surname is García (revealed in Jim's journal in The Bologna Incident) and in an interview, Steve Gabry, the developer of the game, said: "I think Larry would wanna go to Spain because he has family over there". Larry's favorite hobby is drawing.

Ashley Campbell is a close friend of Sal Fisher and is in a friend group alongside him, Larry Johnson and Todd Morrison.Ashley has brown hair and green eyes.her hair was exceptionally long, reaching past her waist. She wore a purple sweater dress, dark grey leggings or pants, a black choker, and light greenish-grey shoes. Ashley is shown to possess a very loyal and calm personality. After helping Sal with his bleeding face when punched by Travis Phelps, it is clear that she is quite kind-hearted and accepting of Sal even when his mask is absent, and helping with the bologna mystery. It should be noted that she is the only one in the group that does not believe in ghosts. She loves art and is the best artist in the group. Ashley is revealed to have been an old friend of Larry's and she is the one who taught him everything he knows about art. Ashley is one of the few known characters to have seen Sal's face without his prosthetic, the others being Henry Fisher, Larry Johnson, Dr. Enon, and most likely Dr. Zimbardo.

Todd Morrison is a character in Sally Face that appears for the first time in The Wretched.Todd lives in the same apartment complex as Sal in Room 202. He is considered very tech savvy as is evidenced by a large amount of technology in his room. His parents apparently saw it as an unhealthy amount of technology and gave him a fish which he named Bob to "counter all of the technology". He is about average height, wears glasses, and has curly orange hair. Todd is very pragmatic, intelligent, and calm. Willing to lend a hand to Sal even after only just initially meeting one another. Todd Morrison is one of three characters in the games to be homosexual, the other being Travis Phelps and Neil. The interior of Todd's apartment is the brightest and most colorful compared to the rest of the characters. His parents seem to be fond of philosophy and smoke with a hookah, as visible next to their couch. His parents are the first couple shown in the game. After Todd moved out of the house, his parents transformed his room into a marijuana garden. He has a fish named Bob.

Travis Phelps is a character who made his first appearance in “The Bologna Incident”. He is the son of Kenneth Phelps, the preacher who owns the Phelps Ministry, a local church in Nockfell. In the past, he frequently bullied Sal Fisher and his friends, often with the use of homophobic language. He is later revealed to be a closeted homosexual and is deeply insecure about it. Travis has olive skin and blonde hair with one swollen eye (likely originating from a bruise). In "Memories and Dreams", his hair has grown to shoulder length and he has red eyes from being possessed by the Plague of Shadows. He wears a light purple shirt and blue shorts with green shoes and grey socks. At first glance, he is seen as a typical bully that tortures Sal, and is treated aggressively by the boy's friends in turn, but in actuality, he is a scared kid afraid of his own sexuality due to his zealot father. It is noted that Travis has no regards with how he treats other people as he has been shown to call Ash a "bitch" and later calls Sal and Larry "flamers" while also claiming he "thought he smelled trash" hinting at them in the cafeteria. Meaning not only does he bully Sal, but tries to insult the rest of the friend circle. His father had taught him all his life that feeling attracted to his own sex is abnormal and shameful. Thus, causing him to spout hateful comments towards others. Travis is afraid to be seen as a good child in the eyes of others, seeing it as a sign of weakness like his father sees homosexuality as weakness. Although he has doubts about his religion and its conflicting messages regarding the morality of his sexuality, he is usually a religious kid and tries to encourage others to attend the Phelps Ministry. Travis is one of three characters in the games to be homosexual, the other being Todd Morrison and Neil.

Neil Douglas, He is Todd Morrison's boyfriend. Neil is a young African American man with brown hair and stubble. He wore a yellow V-neck long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans with sneakers. Neil is a very easygoing and caring individual, lending a sympathetic ear to Sal's recurring nightmares and returning the boy's phone. According to Sal, Neil loves coffee.

Chug Cohen is a resident of Addison Apartments' Room 303 and Sal's classmate and friend. Chug is short and stout, with black eyes and unkempt green hair that was usually covered with a gray baseball cap. He wore a red long-sleeved shirt, blue pants, and gray sneakers. One of Chug's most prominent traits was his fearfulness, though it's worth consideration that he found himself in scary situations that he would generally have to seek out, particularly meeting Megan in Room 504 in the first place. He was also somewhat miserly, unwilling to give Sal the 504 Key without trade, but showed himself to be ultimately compassionate when he faced his fears to check up on Sal despite being functionally strangers. Chug loved his friends and family very deeply. He also had an affinity for sweets, snacks, and video games.
