The Setting

A location that keeps everyone in one place. Somewhere isolated, contained, and hard to leave.

Builds the location of a slasher story in eight parts: location type, isolation mechanism, structural layout, an inescapable constraint, an ambient threat, a public history, a hidden access point, and why the group stayed. Most fields have 10 options. Locations follow the classic territory, lakeside camps closed for the season, rural farmhouses, decommissioned hospitals, and the isolation field cuts off escape with washed-out bridges or disabled vehicles. The hidden access point gives both hunter and hunted a route the other does not know about. Part of the Slasher Movie pack, sitting between the villain and the friend group in the Director's Cut flow. Useful for horror screenwriting, survival horror campaigns, and stories where the location works against the characters.
