Benny
Background
Benny Gardner is a resident outside Arkham, Massachusetts. His parents are Nathan and Theresa and his siblings are Lavinia and Jack.
During the events of Color Out of Space (2019) played by Brendan Meyer
Lavinia goes into the barn and finds Benny smoking weed along with Sam the Dog. He shows her a pair of goggles that belonged to their grandfather and that he is going to keep them since she took their grandfather's compass. During the night, an oddly colored meteorite lands in their property and Jack screams as the bright color from the meteor shines through him. Nathan, Lavinia and Benny go outside and stare at the purple meteorite half buried in the ground and Nathan complains about the smell. Theresa says there is something wrong with Jack and they go inside and Jack is sitting on the couch catatonic, before suddenly coming to. In the morning, Mayor Tooma and Sheriff Pierce arrive at the property and inspect the meteor. Ward arrives and introduces himself to Nathan and then also inspects the meteorite. Mayor Tooma and Sheriff Pierce leave and Nathan tells Lavinia to go inside and then goes and milks the Alpacas with Benny. Nathan has Benny take Ward to see Ezra, who invites Ward inside his hut. Ezra introduces Ward to G-Spot the Cat. He offers them java and apologizes for the color of his water and Ward offers to run some tests on it. While chopping carrots, Jack goes up to Theresa and when he tugs on her shirt, she cuts two fingers off and continues to chop. Nathan drives Theresa to the hospital, while Lavinia, Benny and Jack stay home. In the morning, Lavinia sees the Alpacas eating from the new vegetation and accuses Benny of not feeding them. During the night, Benny tells Lavinia he got lost outside. Nathan and Theresa return and they get upset when they find Jack outside by himself. Nathan gets upset when he notices the Alpacas aren't in the barn. He asks Lavinia and Benny where Sam the Dog is and Lavinia tells him something or it got him. Lavinia tells Benny they need to get out of there and get to safety. Jack wakes up from bed and goes outside and sits next to Benny who is staring at the Color coming from the well. Benny and Jack go into the barn and find the Alpacas mutating into an Alpaca mass. Color flows out of the Alpaca mass and hits Theresa while she is hugging Jack forming a Theresa-Jack. Nathan goes outside and they bring Theresa-Jack inside. Benny tries to call 911, but only hears static. Lavinia tells Benny it seems Theresa is absorbing Jack back into her body. Theresa-Jack continues to moan and Nathan decides to put them in the attic. Nathan goes back to the attic and tells Lavinia and Benny to go downstairs. Benny and Lavinia try and escape on Comet the Horse, but Comet runs away. Benny thinks he sees Sam in the well and climbs in the well to try and save him. The Color out of Space pours out of the well bottom and engulfs a screaming Benny and pulls him down.
