**Maxine Factor** is an Apparition who first appears in The Calamityvillle Horror, bound to her makeup case in the boarded up room at the top floor of Hutz's house. If not freed during The Calamityville Horror, she will reappear in Poultrygeist in the same location.

If not freed during either one of these missions, Maxine will appear in Ghostbreakers as one of the ghosts trapped in the Electroplasmic Storage Device. (Work in Progress)

## Appearance

Maxine is a green skinned woman with blond hair. She wears a yellow buttoned up suit jacket, a pink button up shirt with a laced collar, pink skirt, dark stockings and red heels. Maxine holds a cyan and pink perfume bottle in her left hand and a white powder puff in her right hand, both of which she uses in her idle animations. Maxine's hair is styled in what seems to be a perm. Maxine wears heavy makeup. She wears a heavy white foundation which looks heavily dried up, a messy red lipstick, dark eye shadows and it seems that her brows have been drawn on with a brow crayon. Maxine has a large mole on her left cheek.

## How To Free

Maxine will be freed after somebody uses her makeup. Unfortunately, it is stuck in the boarded up room which needs to be opened first. Mortals who can accomplish this are Greg Hutz, Steve Hutz, Detective Norman Franz, Bill Ratzenberger and Laurence Murray (Poultrygeist only). Using Detective Franz and Bill can be difficult as they will not normally wander upstairs. Using Fool's Errand can force them to go upstairs and open the door. Once one of these mortals sees the boarded up room. they will open it. The next step in freeing Maxine is luring a female mortal to her room. None of the male mortals will interact with the makeup kit. Maxine herself posesses the power Intrigue which can be used to lure a female mortal directly to the kit. The usual luring powers also work in bringing a female mortal to the location. After a female mortal uses the makeup kit, Maxine will be set free.

If not freed during The Calamityville Horror, she will reappear in Poultrygeist with the same requirements.

Alternatively, if not freed during either one of these missions, she can be freed in Ghostbreakers by destroying the Electroplasmic Storage Device. (Work in Progress)

## Cut Content

Originally, Maxine's skeleton would have been buried underneath the room's floorboards, it is however unknown how exactly the Ghost Master would have revealed the fact to the mortals.
