No joke, I'm confident that this would make a really, really good movie.

Jazza: does not think that Voldemort or Slenderman are scary Also Jazza: draws a slender boy with no nose

Scary. Very scary. But I feel like the backstory reduces the scare factor a little because it makes you sympathetic towards him. He is the victim. And no matter what it’s hard to be scared when your reaction is sympathy. Still pretty terrifying though.

I love how Angelo is both terrifying and heartbreakingly sympathetic

Jazza: did I draw the scariest character ever? Movie directors: Write that down, write that down!

Nobody: Not even a single soul: Jazza: named the character *Angelo from choir* Me: *(Named Angelo and a member of a choir) SWEATING PROFUSELY*

This is an AWESOME story!! Im amused that Angelo ended up looking very much like the novel’s original description of Erik, the phantom of the opera! Even down to the angelic singing voice.

“A corrupted version of something pure” *Clowns have never been pure, Jazza.*

when the "_____est character" series is over you should incorporate all of their stories together and draw them in one scene

I think the priest was the scariest part of this character's backstory

Choir boy : kills people because they can’t sing Me : there’s no hope for me

Me: hate scary stuff. Also me: keeps watching even after disclaimer

Jazza: puts a warning Me: getting confident are we?!

Personally, if I saw anyone in my attic that didn’t belong there, I’d fear for my life...

Honestly the scariest thing about the character is that he still seems so human, but there's something so off about him. So honestly I think Jazza has succeeded in making the most scary character, by making the most normal and comferting thing, another human being, so horrifing.

Bro this seriously needs to be a movie. Maybe like the Hocus Pocus series where it starts in old times and has a sequel in modern day. Friends go into the forest during the night, and start to hear angelic screeching. Then, they hear leaves crunching and sticks. And then he jumps at the camera and the rest of the movie plays.

I feel like this would be terrifing in a live action horror movie, the cartool aspect kinda takes the scare away. But this is a win

Next episode: "Did I draw the EDGIEST character of all time..."

4:50 is like the most messed up family portrait ever

As an avid horror movie watcher, and having discussed many a horror movies with my boyfriend, I can say this character’s tragic backstory is something that could easily be seen in a gothic tale. While, personally, immortal slashers are pretty cool, the more vulnerable the character, the more horrific their transformation into this demonic creature. Good job Jazza. 👋

I really want jazza to make this into a short horror animation.

I feel honestly his master is scarier than him he’s much more of the most pitiful character than scariest to me personally even as a monster he looks innocent to me

His cross being upsode down is a nice detail.

jazza: *explains the story of the choir boy* me: youve made the phantom of the opera... i love it!

"voldemort doesn't scare me" *draw a slightly hairy choir boy voldemort*

Jazza: Tries to make Angelo as creepy as possible. Me: Angelo looks like a 30 year old guy going through a divorce

The monster itself is really not that visually scary as compared to others, but the story was genuinely so unique and haunting and the entire idea is just so amazing. You're just as good of a story teller as an artist. This is terrific (and terrifying) work.

The upside down cross was a very nice touch

Jazza could seriously produce movies. These ideas are incredible

Other things you should try • The Power Hungriest Character •The Smartest Character •The Craziest Character • The Bravest Character •The Saddest Character

You created a more demonic version of Erik, the Phantom of the Opera. Loving this.

1:44 CLOWNS ARE PURE?

Mini Jazza “dad what are you drawing” Jazza “well..........”

More episode ideas: UGLIEST character of all time, COOLEST/RADDEST character of all time, NERDIEST character of all time, LAZIEST character of all time, WISEST character of all time, STUPIDEST character of all time, HAPPIEST character of all time, GRUMPIEST character of all time, PRETTIEST character of all time, SADDEST character of all time, BRAVEST character of all time, PUREST character of all time

That story has potential to be the most disturbing psychological horror movie ever made. I would love to see even an animated series lol Fantastic work, just found your channel and have really enjoyed your content.

Unpredictability and unfamiliarity are both usually very effective in making something scary

*listens to Angelo's backstory* Me: he's just misunderstood

I honestly think Jazza would make millions as an author/illustrator. This story rattled me to the bone.

Just saw this video and I am dumbfounded. This was so good that I was left with a thirst for more on this story. Congrats on such a disturbing story and incredible illustration and character design!

You: telling the story of the boy Me: enjoying it.. KZfaq: hey BUD, fancy a McDonald’s on this fine evening?

You need to make a real life model of him to see how truly terrifying he is. Anyone can say "oh that drawing is scary" but if you have that scary thing in real life, it may just push the scare factor more than it already has. Its completely just an idea I dont expect you to do it but you're free to do so.

The only thing I would change is calling the movie/book/horror comic "The Devil's Songbird" this really is an eerie idea. I love it.

Absolutely love this. Been watching other recent character design videos and really enjoy the story element being introduced in your process

Ooooo. I loved this one!!!!! You hit it right on the spot. And the story was good. Hearing him singing in an empty attic would send me outta there immediately!!!!!

This is genius. This is actually genius, the idea should be pitched to become a movie. The idea behind this could play around the concept of sound and how sound is a key feature in most horror. Before anything happens in a horror film a small sound is the first thing that alerts audiences to the presence of the monster. Jazza I really think you should pitch this to a film studio asap.

Honestly, the story line and the design of the character would make an amazing horror movie

The smiling boy on the bottom right. That one chills me the most! Love it (:

For real, Angelo is going to haunt my nightmares and is more terrifying than anything on the mood board. You win Jazza.

Another thing also that makes a scary character is sound a disturbing character by visual standards is scary but how they move how they make audible sound contributes to a more scary and disturbing character. If he walks in broken disturbing contorting movements making loud audible cracks and small whimpers from its very body and followed by loud chorus sung by the boy that’s not seen and being this screaming bone breaking boy running at you from the dark on all fours and twisting upwards to screech a reading chorus prayer at night is a lot more horrifying and disturbing

“Hello?” Julia called, stepping over the broken stones. A strange, dark fog seemed to hang over the ruins of the church that had been demolished long ago, although the air was completely dry. “Yeesh, this place creeps me out,” Alex muttered from behind her. “Why is it so dark here?” She shrugged, glancing up at the sky. “Well, a storm’s coming in soon. Maybe that’s it?” Alex just muttered something else to himself. She hopped over a larger stone and landed down into a small clearing on the other side, where the rubble had been cleared away to form a small space. In the middle was a small box. She tilted her head curiously. “Alex, over here! Something weird.” She heard panting behind her, and eventually came her brother, hopping down off the stone and landing next to her. “Huh.” He crouched down and looked at it. “Wonder what’s inside.” “Yeah, me too.” Julia reached down. Alex slapped her hand away. “No way! This place is freaky, I don’t think we should open random boxes.” She huffed with annoyance. “I know, I know. I’m just curious.” She looked around. “Don’t you think if this place is dangerous, we’d be dead by now?” He glared at her. “I hope you’re the first to die if something comes to kill us.” She chuckled. “Fine.” She kneeled down beside him and reached out her hand to the box. She hesitated. She felt . . . weird. It was unexplainable. She shook her head. She shouldn’t be so skittish. The creepy legend that roamed this area was obviously not true. She grabbed the box and lifted it. Alex stared at it, looking ready to bolt. She slowly began lifting the lid. She felt the shadows darken, the wind began to softly pick up until it let out a low howl that echoed through the ruins. Her chest tightened and chills creeped up her spine. She opened it, dropping the lid. Nothing happened. She let out a quiet sigh of relief and looked inside. She set the box down as she lifted what was inside. “Is that one of those cross necklaces?” Alex asked, his voice trembling a little. “You know, the things that priests wear?” Julia rolled her eyes. “It’s a demolished church, remember.” “Yeah, but don’t you think it’s weird how it’s like, sitting here so perfectly?” He pointed around the center of the clearing and slowly stood. He looked like he was shaking. “Hey, it’s okay, Alex.” She set the item into the box and closed it, then stood up. “We can just leave. We’ll tell Joe that we didn’t find anything important.” Alex froze. “Did you hear that?” His voice was quiet, and trembling. He looked absolutely terrified. “Hear what?” “Do y-you remember that creepy tale th-they warned us about?” he stammered, looking ready to cry. “About the little-choir boy?” Julia swallowed, her heart pounding. “Yeah,” she replied hesitantly. “How y-you hear him before y-you see him?” She quickly whipped around, looking in all directions. “Let’s get out of here,” she muttered. She grabbed Alex’s arm and lead him across the rubble. It was more difficult getting out than it had been getting over here. A piercing cry shattered through the still air, making her stop in her tracks. It was loud, and sorrowful. It was twisted and awful to hear, although she could almost believe it was someone trying to sing a beautiful song. “The Devil’s Angel,” Alex whispered quietly, before whimpering. “Come on!” she snapped, and began running across the rubble, slipping on stones and tripping. She could hear Alex stumbling behind her. She saw the end of the ruins up ahead, and only stopped briefly to see the best path out. Julia continued running, calling behind her to make sure Alex was following. Confused, she called again, slowing her pace. She climbed to the top of a stone and turned, and as she did, a horrible scream sliced through her thoughts. Alex was cornered, and the most awful thing she’d ever seen was creeping towards him from under a piece of rubble. Its face was bent and disheveled; it looked inhuman. It was shorter than Alex, but its limbs were long and animal-like. Its tattered clothing was yellowed and dull, when it was clear it had once been white and pure. Julia covered her mouth in terror, frozen to the spot as she watched its face twist in anger and leap upon Alex. It grabbed at his face with one long hand, its fingers looking bony and pointed like claws. With the other, it clenched her brother’s throat. She watched as Alex’s scream stopped short. The terrible song from earlier began again, as the creature turned and locked gazes with Julia. She spun around and scrambled for the exit, unable to hear her own thoughts at the sounds of the wind howling and the song increasing in volume. She could hear it behind her, coming, coming for her too. The rubble became more difficult to climb over, the shadows seeming to grab at her legs like monsters. It felt like she was moving underwater; her movements slow no matter how fast she tried to run. She jumped off one last stone and rolled onto grass. She was finally free of the ruins. Now, she raced away from the place, as fast as her legs could go. She felt something hot on her face, and realized it was tears. Her body ached and places on her legs and arms stung from where the stones had cut them. But she could still hear the song, drowning out everything. Angry, frustrated and desperate. It wanted her. Her chest tightened as the image of her brother’s throat being ripped away from him repeated in her head. She tried to push it away, but each attempt just made it more vivid. As she ran weakly across the faded path through the forest that lead to the ruins, the song seemed to grow more and more distant, as though giving up chase. But she didn’t stop running. She decided she would never complain about going to track again. Julia didn’t stop running until she reached the end of the woods, where the path opened up into a road. Parked at the other side was Joe’s old truck. She jogged over and pounded on the door. “Let me in,” she choked, her voice sounding unlike her own. Joe stared at her through the window before leaning over and opening the door of the shotgun seat. She pulled herself in, slammed the door shut, and stared ahead. “Where’s Ale-” “Shut up and start driving,” Julia said, her voice barely more than a whisper. She finally began really crying now. Long, terrible sobs that shook her entire body. The car drove across the road, and she buried her face in her hands, shielding herself from the view of outside. The woods that stretched on either side of the road taunted her with their shadows, and even above the rickety sound of Joe’s old truck, she thought she could still hear the howl of the wind. But in its echo was a sound more terrible than any other she had heard. A sound she would never be able to forget. The song of the choir boy would never leave her.

This was the best horror villain backstory ever

Loved the story that went along with the making of the art

"Did I draw the scariest character ever?!" *Draws Onision as a blonde choir boy*

*Jazza:* "and then another thought came to me ... A Choir Boy." *Catholic Priest:* "You said something?" lol

I love this! Angelo’s story would make an excellent horror film or short

If this character was in a horror movie, it would definitely make at least the top 10 scariest movies of all time

I'd be scared if he was in a movie. But his story just like this made me sad

Jazza: I drew the scariest character Hollywood scouts: Ok team, make notes

I'm surprised the Grady twins from "The Shining" weren't more popular. Also, "Mama." Both corruptions of wholesome people.

Jazza's channel has just popped up in my feed, and I am here for it :) My nominations for scariest are the dog version of The Thing, and The Shrike from the novel series, "The Hyperion Cantos"

QUESTION: My husband wants to know if he can write a book based on "The Choir Boy"? Thanks for sharing and caring! Stay Safe!

For me personally, you hit a line between a horrifying and a pitiable character. Having read about life in those times, coupled with the abuse this fictional child had gone through took away a bit from his scare factor. Now I'd be terrified if I heard him, petrified if I saw him, but somewhere in the back of my mind no matter what, I'd still hold some pity for him and his past life. I'm not entirely sure if pity is the word I'm looking for, but it fits best with my point. At this point anything old, dusty, and crusty in an attic could possibly scare me, but to think of a church's attic (if it has one) would creep me out so much worse because I would be in HIS territory, unknowing of how to get out, especially if there's an added warp to the architecture through demonic intervention. So yeah he's scary as all get out, but it's saddening on the flip side as well.

another good way to make terrifying characters than corrupt "pure" things, is playing with people phobias, twisting and taking to the extreme things that are already scary

Great story and artwork. Thoroughly enjoyed the process

I feel he would Lure people in appearing as his cute boyish self in a large cloak then slowly crack into his true form.

What makes a character scary? Someone with a belt.

That's an awesome and original character. Just listening to the back story, I could totally picture this as a big budget movie. Well done Jazza.

I really enjoy listing to Jazza's voice, and i ORDERED THE PRO SKETCH PACK!! :D-but his way of talking just makes me happy :3

Okey so the one when he’s smiling is the most creepiest

Jazza: *creates terrifying original horror character* 9479 horror movie studios: “Interesting.”

Yooooo so I’m watching this video 3 years late but this year (2023) back in April our class (I’m still in school) went to a play exactly about this story! Angelo, the castrato. It was some type of play with handpuppets, and people controlling those handpuppets. But the people controlling them weren’t trying to hide, they were obviously on the stage, which was a cool concept since by the end of the play you couldn’t see them anymore, like an optical illusion.

Holy cow, that story was AMAZING! I'd love to see it actually turned into a movie. Please, please look into this if you can. There's just enough reality mixed with horror that makes it so unique. I love it!

Storyline for the sequel: a group of choir kids are escorted to a school trip to visit the 16th century cathedrals where the most angelic opera prodigies lived. A small, pasty looking kid noticed something unusual during their excursion...

Jazza: tries what he thinks is the most original scary thing Gravity falls: did you try corrupting a triangle?

I'm so so gonna add this story on my spooky list🎉 you are awesome Jazza

That properly gave me the goosebumps. It’s really good jazza

Jazza: "Did i draw the scariest charcter ever?!" Me: *Hey there demons, it's me, ya boi*

Idk if he mentioned this in the video, because I'm writing this before watching - I've been a horror artist for 3 years and the best thing i learned is that children find things that are not normal, scary, for example something is missing, something is added, the size, shape or colour are a bit off, basically anything they're not used to. The same thing can be used with adults. If you, the person reading this wants to draw something unsettling or creepy, use this tip.

Wow this is a really amazing concept, love it!

The stories he tells while he's drawing and things he draws are so amazing and made me feel as if I were actually there. Great job Jazza!! 👏🏻👍🏻

Jazza: let’s make a scary character. Hollywood: Get the contract ready we going down under!

British people be like: "odd lookin bloke that one"

Great video. Love the creative process

These are my favorite type of videos, Love the story aspect

Jazza: the scariest character ever Me: he looks like my drunk uncle when he sees a dog lmao

A horror story that includes religion and priests Me: oh no

U never fail to impress me with your story's. Keep up the good work man.

This should be made into a movie

Jazza: what's that nun? Google: ? Jazza: the nUN?? Google: ?? Jazza: nUNSCARY

Jazza, please attempt the SEXIEST character ever, I think this could be really funny Or if you want to make it more PG the most beautiful/handsome person ever

Please make part 2 of this!~

Mary Shaw from Dead Silence is scary AF! Like I can't even watch it during the day and I find it ironic she would cut out her victims' tongues if they screamed and the choir boy killed in a similar fashion but for opposite reasons.

title: "Did I Draw the SCARIEST Character EVER???..." me : no, but the music scares the sh!t out of me

This is definitely a movie I’d go see

The smiling one is probably the scariest. One thing that makes some of those popular 'scariest' characters is a look of intent. They all look like they want to do you harm or have some intention behind their face that makes you fear what they are planning on doing to you. Angelo doesn't have that maliciousness that the moodboard did, and seems more like a character that would haunt a place, rather than select victims.

ide love to see this in theaters! you should be making millions!

if i knew his backstory , i would feel more empathetic than scared

This should be a movie no kidding

Seeing this process was awesome, very inspiring

Very cool story. I wish I was half as talented as you at drawing. You truly are an amazing artist bro.
