</choose>'''Dread''' is a minor hostile [[entity]] in ''[[DOORS]]'', appearing in [[Hotel|The Hotel]] and [[The Mines]]. It was intended to be added in the [[Update Logs|Hotel+]] update but backlogged. It was fully added in [[The Backdoor|The Hunt]] update.  

=={{Icons|Overview}} Appearance==
''Dread'' appears as a white and lightly deformed blue sponge-shaped face with many hollowed-out hole-spots. Its upper half has many of what looks like eyes. In the lower-middle of its face is a bigger mouth. Wispy blue-gray tentacles protrude from all sides, fading out at the ends. Sometimes ''Dread'' can appear with an inverted texture.    

However, when ''Dread'' is being [[Crucifix|crucified]], most of its tentacles are gone and there are more holes in its sponge-shaped face.   
=={{Icons|Behavior}} Behavior==
''Dread'' only spawns if a [[player]] stays in a single room for a long time without being AFK (until in-game clock hits Midnight). It's possible to tell if ''Dread'' is about to spawn if all the lights flicker for a very extended period of time, followed by the now audible sound of the player's breathing, and less contrast. If the "Electrical Work" [[Modifiers|modifier]] is active, the player will experience a slight blur after some time. The rate of time passage is x4 and x7.5 with the modifiers “Run From It” and “Destiny Still Arrives”, respectively.           

When ''Dread'' spawns, all lights will turn off, it will darken players' screens, and it’ll exhibit a grayscale tint. Afterwards, it will slowly chase players while remaining nearly invisible. If ''Dread'' reaches a player, it will immobilize them, emit a static-like texture, and instantly kill the player. ''Dread'' has small whispers, and they get louder as ''Dread'' gets closer to the player.          

If ''Dread'' spawns and a player opens the door to the next room before ''Dread'' kills them, ''Dread'' will immediately despawn and grant the player the "Dead of Night" [[Achievements|achievement]].    

''Dread'' spawns faster as players progress through the floor.    

==Notes==   
*Every room has a set "tier", there are 3 tiers. This usually depends on the length of the room. Time will move slower or faster depending on the tier of the last opened room.
**Tier 1 is used for most rooms.
***In this tier, time isn't slowed down and moves as normal.
**Tier 2 is used mainly for [[Room Key|locked]] rooms, [[The Basement|basements]] and [[generator]] rooms.
***In this tier, time moves at ~60% speed of tier 1.
**Tier 3 is used for certain special rooms. Most of them are: [[The Reception]] (0), Pre-Library (49), [[The Library]] (50), Pre-Jeff Shop, [[Jeff Shop]], [[The Rooms]] entrance (60), [[The Infirmary]], [[The Courtyard]] (89), [[The Electrical Room]] (100), [[The Dining Hall]]; [[The Adit]] (100.5), [[The Nest]] (150), Post-Nest (151) and [[The Dam]] (200).
***In this tier, time always moves at 1 second every second, taking 3600 seconds (1 hour) for ''Dread'' to spawn without modifiers.
*The passage of time accelerates as players open doors and progress through the floor.
**These are the estimated times for rooms in "tier 1" rooms, supossing players aren't AFK:
***Near Door 0, ''Dread'' takes around 5 minutes to spawn.
***Near Door 25, ''Dread'' takes around 4 minutes to spawn.
***Near Door 50, ''Dread'' takes around 3 minutes to spawn.
***Near Door 75, ''Dread'' takes around 2 minutes to spawn.
***Near Door 100, ''Dread'' takes around 1 minute to spawn.
**This doesn't affect "tier 3" rooms.
*The modifiers “Run From It” and “Destiny Still Arrives” accelerate the passage of time.
**"Run From It" makes the time move at x4 speed (400%).
**“Destiny Still Arrives” makes the time move at x7.5 speed (750%).
**These modifiers don't have any effect in [[the Reception]], [[the Adit]] and after ''Dread'' has spawned in a room (until the next door is opened).
*Time will freeze if the game detects every player is AFK. All clocks will stop moving when this happens, until at least 1 player is not AFK again.
*[[Player|Players]] can keep track of time during their run by reading the grandfather clocks and wall clocks scattered throughout [[Hotel|The Hotel]] or holding an [[Alarm Clock]]. ''Dread'' will always spawn when the hands reach midnight.
*Every time someone opens a door, the clock will reset to 11:00; keep moving through rooms to easily avoid having ''Dread'' spawn.
*When ''Dread'' is about to appear, [[Guiding Light]]'s visual hints will disappear.
*''Dread'' won't allow players to equip or unequip items after ''Dread'' reaches them. Because of this, when crucifying ''Dread'', make sure you equip the crucifix before it immobilizes you.
*Players can [[Crucifix|crucify]] ''Dread'' with a Crucifix. When this happens, the time will set to 11:00 and will move a lot slower until the next door is opened.
*If you grab a crucifix on the ground when you are in ''Dread's'' jumpscare, it will still act like you had the crucifix equipped and it will be crucified, as of now this is only possible with the [[Admin Panel]].
*Players cannot survive ''Dread'' with any amount of overheal, as it is an instant kill entity.
*''Dread'', like [[Screech]], [[A-90]], [[Halt]], [[Haste]], [[Sally]], [[Timothy]], [[Jack]], is a client-sided entity, meaning that in multiplayer, each player encounters a "different" ''Dread''. 
**However, if any player crucifies ''Dread'', ''Dread'' will stop chasing every player and everyone will be able to see the ''Dread'' that the player crucified.
*Most of the sound frequencies are reduced significantly while ''Dread'' is active. This makes it very hard to hear Screech, but still possible.
*Every room will have their lights flicker heavily when the clock hits 11:45 unless the [[Modifiers|modifier]] "Electrical Work" is active.
*When ''Dread'' spawns and chases a player, it has a small shadow that can be barely seen if looked at the correct angle.
*The sound that plays while ''Dread'' chases players lasts for roughly 2 minutes; it doesn't loop. Thus, if ''Dread'' chases the players for longer than 2 minutes, no sound will play. This means that players can indefinitely be chased by ''Dread'', due to being able to be chased after the soundtrack ends.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uUsxy0db0Y&t=94s</ref>
* ''Dread'' can spawn more than once during a run.
*While trying to crucify ''Dread'', [[Screech]] may spawn causing the player to crucify it instead and subsequently die to ''Dread''. Therefore, it is advised to look around at all times while ''Dread'' is attacking as to avoid Screech's attack.<ref>https://youtu.be/GKi4d8qQkx0?si=nIFDlsfDqNHF5c_-</ref>
*In the [[2024 Trick Or Treat Event]], if the "Run From It" candy is eaten, ''Dread'' will spawn. However, the "Dead Of Night" badge that's awarded for surviving ''Dread'' cannot be obtained, even when doing the requirements for it. Despite this, you can still obtain the "It's Not My Time" badge if the player crucifies it after it spawns from this candy.
*If ''Dread'' spawns in a [[Climbing|ladder]] room in [[The Mines]], instead of going through the floor to chase after the player that is on the ladder, ''Dread'' first goes to the ladder then goes up (or down) after the player.
*''Dread'' can only spawn in the main floors ([[Hotel|Floor 1]], [[The Mines|Floor 2]], [[The Castle|Floor 3]]...), it does not spawn in subfloors ([[The Rooms]] & [[The Backdoor]]).
*In The Rooms (and theoretically in the Backdoor) [subfloors], when holding an [[Alarm Clock]], it will always say it's midnight, but the time won't move at all.

=={{Icons|Behavior}} Jumpscare==
===1st Person===
''Dread'' will flash visible around 1 second in the screen before fading out. The camera fully freezes and so does the [[player]]. After a short time, static screens with multiple holes will flash and the player immediately dies.

===3rd Person===
The players' animations freezes shortly before they fall face down to the ground and ragdoll.

== Bugs ==

* There's also a glitch that muffles most sounds if the player dies to ''Dread'' before opening the first door (in [[the Reception]] or in [[the Adit]]) and is auto-[[Revives|revived]]. The easiest way to replicate this is with a "Run From It" candy or with the [[Admin Panel]].

=={{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia== 
*''Dread'' was originally a scrapped entity but was officially added after The Hunt update.
*''Dread'' was originally teased in a sneak-peek for the [[Update Logs|Hotel+ Update]].<ref>[https://vxtwitter.com/DoorsRoblox/status/1599267251223412738 https://twitter.com/DoorsRoblox/status/1599267251223412738]</ref>
*''Dread'' is one of the first scrapped entities to make a comeback.
*It is likely that ProKameron was the first player to encounter ''Dread'' in [[The Mines]].<ref>https://youtu.be/xPmylVsMq5U?t=2346</ref>
*Prior to its revamp in the Mines [[Update Logs|update]], ''Dread'' could only appear at Door 13 after 60 minutes in-game. ''Dread's'' opacity was increased in the Mines [[Update Logs|update]].
**Time <nowiki/>also didn't freeze if the players were AFK.
*Crucifying ''Dread'' gives the "It's Not My Time" [[achievements|achievement]] rather than the "Dead of Night" achievement.
*''Dread''<nowiki/>''<nowiki/>'s'' scream is also used in the jumpscare of Duocara from Piggy, the name of the sound being "[https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/9125713501/Nightmare-Yelling-Bursts-Of-Distorted-Scream-SFX?externalSource=www Nightmare Yelling, Bursts of Distorted Scream]."
*''Dread,'' [[Eyes]]'','' [[The Rooms|A-60]], [[The Rooms|A-90]], [[The Rooms|A-120]], [[The Backdoor|Blitz]], [[The Backdoor|Lookman]], and [[The Backdoor|Haste]] are the only [[List of Entities|entities]] who change their appearance while being [[Crucifix|crucified]].
**The asset for the image of ''Dread'' getting banished by the crucifix is called "[https://www.roblox.com/library/16529167874/Images-guys-this-might-be-scary guys this might be scary]".
*''Dread'' is the first entity introduced in the game that has a frowning expression, the only other entities that are frowning are [[RNIUSHCg==]] (and [[The Rooms|A-120]], but only while being [[Crucifix|crucified]]), besides the two all the other entities either are smiling, have a neutral expression, or don't have a mouth.
*During the [[2024 April Fools Event|April Fools 2024 event]] and with "Voice Acting" modifier, ''Dread'' will say "''Dread''<nowiki/>'s Reaction" repeatedly during the chase.
*''Dread''<nowiki/>''<nowiki/>'s'' whispers are currently the quietest sound in the game.
**''Dread''<nowiki/>''<nowiki/>'s'' whispers resemble a heavily distorted audio captcha.
*''Dread''<nowiki/>''<nowiki/>'s'' behavior is similar to [[The Backdoor#Haste|Haste]]'s behavior, as it spawns after a specific time period, more similar to old Haste that spawned when you took too long in a single room and could also spawn in [[Hotel|The Hotel]] like ''Dread''.
*If you slow down ''Dread'' s<nowiki/>''<nowiki/>''oundtrack end audio to the speed 0.55, you can hear one of [[Halt]]'s whispers.
*''Dread''<nowiki/>''<nowiki/>'s'' scream for being crucified can be difficult to hear due to the sounds of the [[Crucifix]].
* The tempo of ''Dread<nowiki/>'s'' theme increases the longer you are being chased.
* When Dread spawns, it will print "erm.. hello bro" into the console, the same as [https://doors-game.fandom.com/wiki/The_Backdoor#Haste Haste].
*[[El Goblino]] indirectly mentions ''Dread'' in one of his dialogues, "We gotta be outta here by midnight", which can be associated with ''Dread.''
*If you crucify ''Dread'' (or [[The Backdoor|Haste]], with the Make Haste [[Modifiers|modifier]]) while in the elevator cutscene ([[The Hotel]] ending) you get to see the cutscene in first person, albeit with your accessories and body parts blocking some of your view.
