    Obviously Freddy Krueger. Just stay awake 24 hours. The really difficulty is when you can’t stay awake and you accidentally fall asleep. But I think staying awake 24 hours is pretty easy.

    Sadako. Her curse takes 7 days to take effect, assuming it’s gone once 24 hours are up. Else, Jaws can’t get you if you’re nowhere close to the sea.

    Chucky just to prove to yall how easy it would be to defeat that doll. Shit, with $3b I’d pay Messi to kick him in a furnace on PPV and probably come out with even more money just off subs alone

      Wasn’t one of his big things that he was supernaturally strong and resilient? It wasn’t just a doll; It was a doll that was possessed by the ghost of a serial killer. So there was some supernatural aspect to it that made it harder to destroy than most people would expect.

        If you go by the early versions he is limited by his physical doll-form. He can’t fly, teleport, drive, etc. and he’s not really that strong, or fast.

        If you knew about him and that he was coming after you, it shouldn’t be that difficult.

            Naww, don’t you remember those few scenes with Chucky running past the camera? He can at least do 10 miles an hour on foot. Also he does know how to operate vehicles. He’s a serial killer stuck in a doll, not a magical doll with few human skills.

    The thing from “It Follows” goes at a walking pace, I could hop in the car and drive a few hours out of town to spend the day at a nice park.

      Until a car accident and they put you on pain killers and don’t allow you to drive. You gonna end up Stranger Things’d in that hospital bed.

        I mean, sure, you could always die of an unrelated accident at any time while you’re being chased by a monster. The specific monster hardly matters in that situation.

    I wanted to say Freddy, because 24 hours without sleep would be easy-peasy. …then I realized Im not a teenageer anymore and would probably take a nap anyways.

      This would work with a small investment in hard drugs before hand. Depends on how much prep time and street cred you have.

        I’m an old boring dude, but if I got off caffeine for a week before hand, I’d have no trouble stay awake after my second cup that day.

      Yeah it’s early afternoon here and I just realized that I someone told me I had to stay awake for the next 24 hours, I wouldn’t make it.

              Actually physically addicted? Probably not. And you’d only need one, maybe two hits (assuming oral consumption, not smoked or IV) spread out over your 24 hours to get through it. However, the euphoric rush from the Meth would be pretty intense (the dopamine release is 5x-10x that of Adderall) and most of the dangers are from chronic use, so if you’re the kind of person who’s prone to risk-taking, it’s possible you could wind up rationalizing the risks away and continuing to use it, and wind up truly addicted down the road. This is basically the route most addicts take. There aren’t any substances that are so addictive that one use gets you physically hooked.

              It might be especially easy to fall down this path if you’re now a multi-billionaire and no longer have a need to work and thus need to find something new to occupy your time.

    That thing from “It Follows”. I would just jump inside my car and go for a road trip. I am more than able to drive for 24 hours. It can follow these nuts!

    I mean it would be easy to choose somebody like Professor Moriarty. Assuming they didn’t gain instant knowledge of how to navigate the 21st century and/or you didn’t have to spend the 24 hours in their time/universe.

      Professor Moriarty would also likely be disinterested in actually coming after you. He only targeted Holmes because Holmes kept uncovering his criminal plans. He began to see Holmes as a roadblock, and was continuously frustrated by Holmes’ investigative abilities. As long as you weren’t in Moriarty’s way and didn’t have anything to offer him, he likely wouldn’t care about you. After all, his public image was that of a respected scholar. You’d be a little fish in a very big pond, and Moriarty was smart enough to recognize that going after you would net him nothing in return.

          Fine. Hop in a car, and get on the nearest highway. Every time you come to a fork, roll a die to see which direction you go. 24 hours is a long time to drive, but not impossible. And assuming a truly random path, he’d have no hope of predicting where you were going to try and head you off. Hell, stop over and rent a new car whenever you’re running low on gas, just to make things even more confusing; You’re about to win $3B, so what is a few hundred dollars in rental car fees?

    Absolutely a Yautja (Predator). Pretty sure short middle-aged pudgy women who’d curl into a sad ball on the floor when threatened would be the most dishonorable kills ever. He might even be forced to off himself in shame for that lol

      But if they’re chasing you for 24 hrs then you may have pissed it off. It wouldn’t be for a trophy at that point but just because it doesn’t like you, so it’s probably going to be more painful.

    The Tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park because first of all, I’m actually pretty sure I’d be fine so long as I can get in my car and drive away at a reasonable pace. Secondly, just think of the absolutely incredible collateral damage. Even if I get killed, it would be one of the most talked-about and confusing incidents in American history for the rest of time.
