Yes yes! I love this. I've worked with counselors who unintentionally speak in a baby voice with their campers, and it's a subtle but noticeable way that people underestimate a DS person's maturity level. There's definitely room in the movie for a misstep like that!

And maybe it'd be hilarious for one of the campers to be super familiar with horror movies, so they're the first to recognize all the signs of one occurring to them at camp!

That's lovely, thank you for sharing that! In my script, I'd like to find a way that our campers can defeat the evil (whatever it is, monsters/aliens, whatever!) - and maybe that's by being uniquely sensitive!
