Tossup

Description acceptable. The protagonist of one film finds a sign on a refrigerator stating “[this character] was here; went to get beer” after the camera rotates around that protagonist as he stumbles through a party. This character’s creator denies the many comparisons that have been made between this character and the title character of a film based on a 1944 Mary Chase play. This character is shot in the eye after he swerves to avoid “Grandma (15[1])Death” and accidentally runs over Gretchen. This character dates a teenager who defiantly declares “I’m voting for (*) Dukakis” during a family dinner. This character first appears in a golf course late at night, where he gives the title character the precise amount of time before the end of the world. While sitting in a movie theater, this character responds to another by asking “Why do you always wear that stupid man-suit?” For 10 points, give this teenager whose ghostly presence influences Donnie Darko while wearing a horrific animal costume. ■END■
