Gideon S. Grim

Gideon has feline-esque facial structure, with black hair with silver streaks teased into swooping bangs and a ponytail. His eyes are blood red and perpetually rimmed with eyeliner, and he has a gold tooth. His most striking facial feature is the large scar that cuts through the left side of his lip. He wears a designer suit with a Gucci belt, and is sometimes seen with a black cloak.

Gideon starred in the show DEADTALK, with him explaining his four keys to highly effective scaring: Passion to Kill, Find the Fear, Kill Factor, and Don't Get Caught. He appears with a posse of dancers in cheerleading outfits as his hype squad, named the Gideon Ghoul Dancers, and the show featured many elaborate dance sequences (including musical numbers, some of which are performed by Gideon himself). In the show, he motivates various people to be their best scaring selves, including helping a serial killer find his passion for murder again, interrogating audience members on their greatest fears, and displaying the flair of certain killers. Towards the end of the show, he is nearly apprehended by police, only to vanish into thin air under his cloak and taunt them in a spectral form.

Although not much is currently known about Gideon's past, according to his interview "666 Questions with Gideon Grim," Gideon has been performing the job of Grim Reaper since the Black Plague (he notes that they were "some fun times"). He refuses to reveal what his middle initial of "S" stands for. Gideon owns a cat named "Muffin the Murderer," and is a self-professed "#catman," having never killed a single cat in his many centuries as Grim Reaper.

Other general trivia revealed in the interview includes that his favorite food is steak ("bloody"), his favorite drink is "a rotten appletini," his all-time celebrity crush is Cleopatra, he enjoys a good romcom every once in a while, and the best gift he's ever received was a gold ring. His self-professed worst habit is that he's impatient, and his best habit is that he "always gets the job done." He states that the best part of his job is "looking out and seeing all those terrified faces in the audience," and the worst part is the interviews. If he wasn't a motivational death coach, he says that he would be "something scary and gross, like the Boogeyman or a Hollywood studio executive." He then says that the key to a perfect scare is the element of surprise before choking the interviewer to death.

Gideon was named by Dead People magazine as "the scariest man alive," and has been inducted into the Horror Hall of Fame. He has five best-selling books: "Putting the Boo Back in You," Gain the Will to Kill," "Scaring is Caring," "Awake the Killer Within," and "Make Scaring Great Again." Based on a scene from DEADTALK, Gideon Is shown to be on the run from police, or at least on their radar.
