Background

Dart Player is a resident of East Proctor, England.


During the events of An American Werewolf in London (1981) played by David Schofield

David Kessler and Jack Goodman stop at the Slaughtered Lamb pub and as they enter it, everyone in the pub stops to stare at them including the Dart Player, 2nd Dart Player, Chess Player and 2nd Chess Player. David and Jack ask if they can come in and then sit down when the Barmaid nods her head yes. David jokes that maybe the owner of the pub is from Texas and when the Barmaid comes back, Jack remarks remember the Alamo. The Chess Player tells a joke about a plane that is low on fuel full of people from the United Nations. Jack asks why the star on the wall is there and the room gets quiet. The Dart Player tells Jack and David that they made him miss the board, which has never happened before and David tells Jack they should leave. The Barmaid tells the others in the bar they can't let David and Jack go out. As they are leaving, the Barmaid tells the others again that they can't let them go and the Dart Player tells them to stay on the road and to stay out of the moors. The Chess Player then warns them about the moon. After David and Jack leave, the Barmaid again pleads to the others that they can't let them go and the Chess Player says it is in God's hands now. The Barmaid tells the others they could have warned David and Jack, but the Dart Player tells her they would have just thought they were crazy. Suddenly something howls and the Barmaid again says they should help David and Jack. David is attacked by the First Werewolf, but is saved when the villagers from the pub, shoot and kill the First Werewolf, which changes back to a human form as it dies. Dr. Hirsch drives to East Proctor and goes to the Slaughtered Lamb. He orders a Guinness and then brings up the attack on David and Jack. Everyone in the pub acts like they don't know what he is talking about. Dr. Hirsch asks about the pentagram and then offers to play a chess game with Chess Player, who refuses to play with him. Dart Player leaves the pub and when Dr. Hirsch is about to get into his car, he sees the Dart Player staring at him. The Dart Player tells Dr. Hirsch that others will be killed during the full moon when David changes. The Chess Player walks outside and yells at the Dart Players who then runs away.
