The Wicked

Amanda is the little girl whose kidnapping confirms the town's myth about the Witch being real. Her abduction acts as the catalyst that pulls the group into a perilous rescue mission through Open Hearth and the surrounding woods. She embodies innocence and becomes the emotional center prompting others to face the danger.

Max is a teenager mourning his grandfather's death. He teams with his friend Sammy and later his brother Zach to investigate Open Hearth. He records the events on video and is central to the plan to confront the Witch, aided by a flamethrower tied to his grandfather's legacy.

Sammy is a tomboy and Max's friend who comes from a troubled household and is looked down upon by locals. She helps provoke action by blackmailing Deputy Karl to get help and plays a pivotal role in guiding the group through danger.

Zach is Max's brother who clashes with him but ultimately joins the rescue effort. He is a protective figure who faces danger head-on and dares to re-enter the witch-haunted house to save his brother.

Julie is brave and curious, ignoring warnings to join the search for Amanda. She demonstrates leadership in the moment of crisis and helps push forward the rescue operation.

Carter is part of the group that initially investigates the Witch. He is abducted along with Tracy during the Witch's pursuit and becomes a casualty of the house's deadly traps.

Tracy is Carter's girlfriend who joins the group in the investigation. She is abducted during the Witch's rampage and ultimately killed, underscoring the stakes of the night.

The Witch is the malevolent spirit inhabiting Open Hearth. She preys on children to sustain beauty and strength, dragging the teens into a deadly confrontation and using magic to trap and chase them.

Deputy Karl is the town's law enforcer who clashes with Sammy and initially dismisses her plea to intervene. He bolds toward Open Hearth and meets a violent end at the Witch's hands.

Deputy Mahoney is a fellow law enforcer who goes to the house to support the search and is killed by the Witch. His presence marks the peril that the rescuers face inside the haunted residence.
