**Cam Johnson** is the protagonist of the 2018 miniseries *Mayhem, Murder and Monsters**.* He was an amateur detective who made videos about suspicious murder cases he came across as he attempted to tie everything together, only to find out that the cases presented more questions than answers, or alluded that something more monstrous could be at work.

Cam investigated murders caused by various Crypt Monster Universe monsters, such as Aponi and The Look-See. His latest and final dive into such murder cases lead him to uncover and prove the existence of the Sunny Family Cult. Since the cult wishes to maintain its secrecy, they tracked down Cam to his house and killed him as he was finishing his final broadcast.

He is portrayed by Daniel Ryan Egan.

## Physical Appearance

Cam was a young Caucasian male with brown hair and hazel eyes. His outfit varied from episode to episode.

## Characteristics

Cam was very enthusiastic about becoming a detective, sometimes following his opening introductions with "I'm a detective... almost.", which may have been a primary motive behind starting his vlog series. Later on, he became more interested with getting the truth out about the dark forces lurking behind the murders. He stayed true to this even in his final moments, telling the viewers as the cult members broke into his house that they should never stop asking questions and searching for the truth.

Unfortunately, Cam had a tendency to stick his neck out in places he likely shouldn't have, such as the murder cases involving the Sunny Family Cult. This proved to be his downfall, as his snooping into the cult caused it to come after him and murder him to protect the secret of their existence.
