Personality[]

Appearances[]

Appearance in Gregory Horror Show[]

In the original anime, Gregory is a slightly creepy old mouse who invites the guest to stay in the hotel, which seems to be his obsession. He knows exactly how to unravel one's mind and will gladly exploit any emotional or mental weakness the guest may show. It is unclear exactly what Gregory truly is, it is implied at the end of the first series that he is the manifestation of the hidden dreams and desires of those who have grown tired of reality (though this may only apply to the male guest's own personal problems). Another probability is that Gregory is a spirit of dreams and desires, rather then a single person's manifestation. He is also the only character to fully appear in every episode of the series and there are only two episodes of the series where he has no dialogue.

While Gregory seems to have no set aims, he does work in collecting lost souls for his Mother, simply because, although he'd never admit it to anyone else, Gregory Mama is the only one Gregory fears.

In the third season, Last Train, Gregory seems to be attempting to escape his own reality, only in the act of trying to run from his fate and his inner demons. Gregory is seen later in the season to have returned back to Gregory House.

Appearance in Gregory Horror Show: Soul Collector[]

In the game, Gregory retains his enigmatic air, not even introducing himself to the player until after he or she has checked into the hotel. As hotel manager, he stalks the hallways, sometimes mumbling things about the player under his breath, such as him saying that the player would be in no danger if they simply accepted the purgatory of Gregory House.

Appearance in Gregory Horror Show: Another World[]

Gregory appears all throughout the manga, but the last chapter is dedicated specifically to him.

Trivia[]

  • Gregory is the first character to be encountered in both the game and anime series.
  • Gregory is apparently immortal: Having been hit in the back of the head with an axe in each of the two mainstream series and being completely fine the next night. The only way to destroy Gregory may be to destroy one's thoughts and feelings tied to his world.
  • In the third season, his favorite kind of music seems to be hip-hop.
  • Gregory's role in the game is noticeably smaller than it is in the anime. In the game he plays the role of the slightly creepy resident who has tendencies to appear randomly in front of the player.
  • It is shown in both game and anime that Gregory has a lot of hostility torwards Neko Zombie as he is seen interacting with him often harshly. Popular opinion suggests that he was the one responsible for sewing him up as this is what Neko Zombie says in the game. In Gregory's Gallery Tour, simply hearing Neko Zombie speak to him causes him to destroy Neko Zombie's painting in a fit of rage, further implicating him.
  • Players can use a Dirty Book as a diversion to keep Gregory from doing certain tasks (mostly stalling conflict with Angel/Devil Dog). Once the player is holding the magazine and intercepts with Gregory in the hallway, he will immediately confiscate it and re-hide in the Storeroom.
  • In the game, from the third night onwards, every other day at 12PM Gregory will sneak into Hell's Chef's room and steal the packed lunch Catherine has prepared for Chef.
  • His favourite food is blue cheese and his favourite film is Suspiria.
  • In the Gregory Horror Show: Chara-Freaks book, it is stated he dislikes old ladies and kids, a reference to Gregory Mama and James.
