The predator does not kill children or pregnant women. Predator 2 showed that. A kid with a toy UZI spotted the predator with his light bending and as a precaution the predator armed his shoulder cannon, but upon sensing it was not a real gun he disarmed it.
Also the subway showed he found a fetus developing in a woman and immediately released her.
Otis Driftwood from House of 1000 Corpses. He has no supernatural powers.
I have lived around crazy rednecks all my life (Indiana and Florida). Pretty sure I could outwit 1 crazy redneck, and with 3 Billion I could afford to finally escape this hellhole.
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.
I'd go with Hopper from A Bug's Life. I'm sure he's a huge threat to Dave Foley and Julia Louse-Dreyfus, but I ain't worried about no grasshopper, even one voiced by Kevin Spacey.
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.
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.
Freddy Kruger, as long as I have prep time. Get a good night sleep the night before? Staying awake for 24 hours is pretty trivial. I can get up at 6 one morning and stay up til 6 the next morning. I'm willing to screw my sleep cycle up for a few days in exchange for 3 billion dollars.
Prompt says you're being chased but nothing about the quality of the chase. I like the image of the predator being obligated to chase them but feeling kind of ashamed of it so they don't really want to get the kill.
Hunted: '*puff, wheeze* Just... gotta... get to the top... of the hill.'
Predator: *walks calmly up to just behind the hunted and makes a predator noise, then sits to wait for them to scramble the rest of the way up while the predator plays space-solitaire*
The Refregirator (yeah, it's a thing: https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt0102767/), It's a haunted / gate of hell fridge attacking a couple who just moved in a shitty appartment.
Even if you unplug it, it still tries to eat you or send his minions (toaster, blender...) so I'll surely die horribly but I'm all for fighting against electric appliances.
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
Specifically chasing for 24 hours... So, any of the antagonists that require planning, or are infirmed ... Or both?
John Kramer, the jigsaw killer. Bitch has terminal brain cancer and is in a wheelchair most of the time. I don't think he could come up with a jigsaw plan, kidnap and execute it in that much time.
Can I go for a horror monster that isn't necessarily from a horror movie? Because if so I'm going for the flying black bedsheets from Harry Potter 3, it's summer and I want a mobile air conditioner. Also it couldn't inflict anything I to me that I don't do to myself, guess it could try to eat my soul but I'm pretty sure I don't have one.
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.
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!
