Noah Gilmore JR is a character from the Tales from the Haunted Mansion book series.
Biography[]
Noah is a member of the Fearsome Foursome, a group of middle schoolers obsessed with the tales of macabre. When their treehouse is destroyed by a storm, they find invitations in the ruins to the Haunted Mansion. When they arrive at the Mansion's library, Amicus Arcane shares four stories about each member of the Foursome.
In Noah's story, "Sea Creatures", Noah is tasked with cleaning his uncaring step-fathers rundown swimming pool for the summer. When he looks through his dad's old horror comics, he finds an add for freeze-dried "Monsters from the Deep", promising sea creatures that lived before the dinosaurs. When they arrive, they come with a warning to not put the eggs in salt water. However, Noah's step-dad insists the pool be filled with salt water. Not thinking too much about it, Noah decides to get a little revenge on his step-dad, by putting the eggs in the salt water pool. That night, just as he's about to go to sleep, he hears something outside. He gets out of bed to go investigate, where he sees Dots, his step-dad's ill-tempered poodle, being held captive by the sea creature. Noah's step-dad eventually comes outside to check out all the commotion outside and gets captured by the sea creature too. Noah has to act fast, to rescue his step-dad and Dots. He eventually finds some powder, which damages the sea-creature and sends it back down the drain of the swimming pool. As his step father thanks him for saving them, a surviving tentacle bursts through the drain and captures Noah, sending him down the drain too.
As the stories are told and the children become more disturbed by their tales ending in a horrific death of each of the four, they realize the truth that they are all dead and join the happiest haunt on Earth.
