HAHA… NICE! Enjoyed your ideas very much.
The last one could be converted into some
Harry potter scene. Remember the soul-eaters.
Similar concept.
While in the movies, the soul-eaters
suck the soul out of the mouth of their
victims… lets suck them somewhere else.
Just for the lols.
Could turn into comedy/Satire.

While your ideas are very cool,
you have to admit, that they're not very
realistic ;)

The most realistic context I could interpret
into that would be some psychic disorder/
illusion.

About The predatory actor:

I prefer, not to explain the intentions of
the bad boys too much.
Explaining what the motivation behind some
killer might be, takes away the unknown,
the 'magic' of that evil.
The less we humans know about 'something'
the more we fear it.

Think about horror-movies:
The purpose of those movies is to be scary.
Watch closely and notice, that in those
movies, the Killer isn't really explained
that much. The spectator does not get any
valuable insight in the inner workings of
him.
This is what keeps the 'magic' up and the
victims scared. -also the audience.

Psycho-thrillers work different.
Here, the bad actor is explained in depth.
Almost everything he does and will do is laid
out in front of the audience.
To create the thrill, there has to be another
pressureous factor:
→ Ticking Clock, Good Vs Bad in a race against time.

→ Uncertainty about the 'WHO' the next
victim might be with hints given that one
of the main-actors on the good side might
bite the dust through the bad actor.

→ Plot-twist: 'WHAT IS IN THE BOX?!'

Role-playing:

I tried something different.
You mentioned, that you do not like the
character you're playing.
I assume, that you play the bad boy.

Try not to display him/her from the
first-person (I,me), but from the third
(he, she, it). You may even omit the pronoun.

instead: 'he pulls out knife…'
try: 'pulls out knife…'

You get the idea.

Try not to explain the inner state of that
character, his feelings.
Focus only on the actions, that character takes.

Displaying emotion as a bad-actor could easily
be seen as a weakness, if not done right.

These are just my own opinions/thoughts.
