Pete DinunZio²

Pete DiNunzio is a tragic and exaggerated boy, but very human: A fan who loves his passions so much that he doesn't know how to live without them, even when it makes him unhappy.

Watch horror movie marathons Reading and collecting comics Arguing (yelling) about geek culture Criticizing remakes and adaptations Reliving the "best" past of comics and film Venting through complaining (therapeutic for him)

Member of the Eltingville Club, although the word “friends” is complicated: Bill Dickey: He's irritated by his arrogant attitude, but deep down he respects him. Jerry Stokes: He clashes with him constantly; their arguments are legendary. Josh Levy: Sometimes he tolerates it more, but they still argue Although they fight all the time, Pete is very loyal: if someone from outside attacks them, he will be the first to defend the group.

Pete's family is barely seen or even mentioned. This reinforces the idea that: He has a distant or unpresent relationship with them. His true emotional “home” is comics, horror, and (in his own way) the club It is possible that he has taken refuge in geek culture since he was young as an escape.

Modern terror that is considered “soft” or “commercial” Changes in franchises you love People who don't take comics or horror seriously Feeling ignored or ridiculed Hypocrisy and “political correctness” Tell him to exaggerate (because yes, he does exaggerate)

-Classic horror movies (slasher, gore, 80s horror) -Comics (especially the "old days")

• Violent, dark, and extreme stories -Monsters, fictional serial killers, graphic horror -Old formats: VHS, old comics, the "authentic" To defend what you love with passion (even if no one asks you to)

Robust and large build Dark hair, usually messy Comfortable and casual clothes: t-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans Slouching posture, like someone who spends hours reading or watching movies His expression is usually one of anger or annoyance, but when he talks about terror his face lights up His eyes are completely white; he has no pupils.

Pete is passionate, intense, and deeply emotional, though he almost never admits it. He lives his interests with total dedication, especially horror and comics. He's explosive, loud, and can seem aggressive, but deep down he's loyal and very sensitive. When something truly matters to him—a movie, a comic, or a person—he'll defend it tooth and nail. He often feels frustrated with the world, with society, and with how the things he loves have changed. He has trouble managing anger and disappointment, which leads him to say cruel things… though he often regrets them.
