As fans of the genre know, there are certain character molds which seem to travel from film/tv show to film/tv show. Each type has a similar personality and they are cookie-cutter characters.

I am trying to come up with a decent list of them for a game I am writing.  They will have skills and abilities based on their role in the film.  Anyway, I'll list a few just to get the ball running.

1. "Beauty Queen"
2. "Screamer"
3. Jock
4. Nerd
5. Fat Guy

Finally, I am still in the middle of thinking/writing their powers or characterization.  For instance,  the Fat Guy supplies all food needs for the group and they have a 50/50 chance to raise the spirits of the group.  Maybe they will also have a special charge.  The goals of the powers are to enforce certain qualities by making the powers reflect them.

There was a game included in Fantasy Gamer #1 by Aaron Allston called Slasher Flick: Revenge of the Bogeyman in Exciting 2-D.  You can find a review of it here.  This review contains the list I hoped I could find (without digging out my copy of Fantasy Gamer #1) which is the list of the characters for the game, which was focused on college students:

• Bus Driver
• Whiz Kid
• Football Player
• Surfer
• BMOC
• Biker
• ROTC
• Psych Major
• Cheerleader
• Jockette
• Preppie
• Valley Girl
• Ingenue

The BoardGameGeek site also has a play aid page that also might be helpful here and the errata is here

You could also add "Mummy's Boy" in there.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have plenty to chew on now.

There's an adventure which has similar 'types' here:
