We are all at least somewhat aware of the 'slasher' genre of horror film. The ones involving a killer stalking and hunting down would be victims in a series of vicious and often very inventive ways. There are always a few major things about any would be horror slasher which I shall explain:
1. They must always wear some kind of mask that is unique to them
2. They must have some kind of killing weapon that is unique to them (kitchen knife, machete, chainsaw, knife fingers)
3. They must have some kind of backstory explaining their history and why they kill all they see.
If you have all those things, you are set for some major killing sprees. So let's begin, I have made this thread to allow the Escapists to show their ghoulishly creative side by making up a slasher villain alter ego with their own mask, weapon and backstory. Something that can fit all the right buttons of horror cliche while also honouring them. So I'll begin with my killer;
Name:
Edward Rogan
Traits: Wields an antique but still useable cutlass and wears a greek theatre mask with one half burned black and the other half perfectly white. He has spiky hair and a frail frame and is very fast and stealthy.
Backstory:
Having been raised in an old theatre young Edward dedicated his life to the theatrical arts, however one day in a terrible fire that may or may not have been accidental, right at Edward's big moment on stage he is supposedly killed in the fire. The fire was caused by townspeople believing him to have been possessed by evil. However tonight he has returned, is a ghost or did he indeed survive? Either way he's out tonight seeking revenge on those who murdered him and for seem reason his revenge is easily sated instead on irrelevant horny teens who dare to populate the large city where his theatre once stood. His killing style is always done in a very theatrical and artistic style, often making paintings with their blood or turning them into human scultures. He also frequently recites Shakespearian quotations.
Okay that's my made up horror movie alter ago... what's yours?
