Sandy Pantz is a character in Maniac Mansion, a cheerleader of the State University Meteorites and girlfriend of Dave Miller.

Ron is interested in her. He sends a postcard from Hawaii to Porter Hole Hall inviting her to drop "that deadbeat Dave" and offers to pay for her tickets to Hawaii and meet him there.

She wrote an announcement about cheerleading practice at the Athletic Department of Wilmunder Hall, but it was cancelled (obviously because of her abduction). Dave stuck an announcement at the corkboard, asking for herlp to rescue her.

Maniac Mansion[]

She was kidnapped by Dr. Fred and taken to the lab in the basement of the mansion. There, the evil Meteor has plans to remove her brains as part of its plan for world domination. The rescue of Sandy from the mansion is the main plot of Maniac Mansion.

During the game, she is only seen in cut-scenes terrified by Dr.Fred or Purple Tentacle, and screaming in terror.

She is first seen in the lab with Dr. Fred, who tells her that soon her brains will be sucked out by his machine. Sandy has faith in Dave and his friends but soon starts screaming for help.

She is seen again in the secret lab, where Purple Tentacle harasses her, and she runs around. Dr. Fred chastises it for "playing with the lab experiments" and orders him to bring her to the machine which is ready. With that Sandy screams.

She last appears in the machine where the kids rescue her. She is seen at the very end where Dr. Fred apologises for the trouble he caused.

Trivia[]

  • She is a stereotypical stupid blonde cheerleader, common in college-related fiction.
  • Dr. Fred's line to Sandy with "getting her pretty brains sucked out" was thought gruesome for the NES version of Maniac Mansion, thus it was changed to simply "removed".[1]
  • She makes an appearance in Thimbleweed Park as Sandy, a waitress at S and D's diner which she owns with her husband, Dave.
