Easter Ripper ||Tom Smith||

Personality:   Appearance: The Easter Ripper, real name Tom Smith, is an adult Caucasian male of unspecified age, and weight. He is around 5'10" He has short brown hair and wears a purple sweater with several colorful patterns on it, blue jeans with a black leather belt, and brown shoes. During his murderous rampage, he wears a worn-out purple Easter bunny suit with a yellow ribbon. His weapon of choice is a large sickle. His mask has traces of dried blood stains around the mouth from several murders, as well as completely blackened eyes. He seems to possess inhuman strength and durability as he was able to withstand gunshots and lift humans with one arm and kill them by hugging and squeezing them as seen in some death cutscenes. History: Not much is revealed about Tom's early life. What is known is that Tom grew up together with his brother Anthony in a large house in the backcountry of Monroe County, Michigan, near the city of Monroe. Tom refers to himself as a "Mama's boy" in one of his lines, implying an overly deep or strained relationship with his mother, not too dissimilar from the Night Shift Abductor or Larry. In late March of 1979, Tom took a seasonal position as an Easter Bunny at a Monroe mall. Taking advantage of his proximity to the younger visitors, donning the costume, he would abduct pre-pubescent children, some as young as toddlers, each Easter and take them to his childhood home, where he would imprison them inside a secret basement section for several weeks, continually abusing them for sadistic and pedophilic gratification. This included starvation, exposure to the elements, bondage, rape, S&M play, medieval torture, and cruel practical jokes, such as hiding sharp objects inside their limited food rations, which consisted solely out of chocolate eggs, laced with sedatives to render the kids easier to deal with. Once he's had enough of them, he would release the children into his greenhouse and force them on a deadly Easter egg hunt, during which he stalked and ultimately murdered them, later burying the bodies beneath the building. Sometime in late April, 1983, one of Tom's would-be victims, Randy Martinez, escaped and exposed him to the authorities, but instead of him being arrested, Anthony, the legal owner of the house, made a false confession to save his brother's life. Anthony was found guilty of eleven counts of child murder and after spending two years on death row, executed by the electric chair. Initially, Tom heeded Anthony's sacrifice and refrained from killing during the next Easter Season, although maintaining his job at the local city mall. By 1985, however, he found himself unable to keep his murderous urges in check, Anthony's wrongful execution presumably being the trigger. The Easter Ripper reawakened, he started back where he left off and continued kidnapping children at the mall. Murder House: One night during the same year's Easter, the Easter Ripper discovered 8-year old Justin, a boy with whom he had a picture taken just a few hours earlier, strolling around the plaza, hopelessly lost, and when the boy reaches the secluded staff-only area, he gives chase. Justin is either immediately seized and dragged away by the Easter Ripper for grisly intentions, or briefly eludes capture by hiding in a stall in the adjacent restroom, then warning a janitor about the danger, who is seemingly killed after leaving Justin alone in a locked office room to verify his claims, shortly after being found by the Easter Ripper and abducted. In 1988, Tom returned to his former residence, now known to locals as the "Murder House" and generally thought to be abandoned, to find Jerry, a real estate agent who had put the property on sale, who had shortly before made a deal with a local news crew to shoot a haunted house story about the legend. Provided with the perfect opportunity, Tom murdered the agent, placed his body in a bathtub in a locked room, inserting an Easter egg with the Justice tarot into his mouth, and later joined the TV crew on May 1st, masquerading as a cameraman, planning to slaughter them one by one as revenge for attempting to further defile Anthony's name. After filming a couple of sequences for the documentary, Tom excused himself for a toilet break, at which point he locked the front gate and destroyed the news van, leaving behind a message for the crew, in which he announced the Easter Ripper's return and the commencement of his notorious egg hunt. He then shuts off the power, in the process being startled by the unknowing crew's intern, Emma, whom he distracts by handing her a key and asking her to check if it's for any of the exits. Once again costumed, he begins to pick off the crew in horrendous ways, starting with on-site reporter Dana. He unsuccessfully tries to ambush her in the living room, then sneaks up behind her while she is fleeing, grabbing her by the head before chopping off her right arm and decapitating her, later leaving an Easter egg with the Death tarot in her mouth. Finding Gary standing in a doorway with his back turned, Tom cuts him in half and disembowls him, later strining him up on a chain link and placing an Easter Egg with easter egg with the Hanged Man tarot in his cut-open stomach. In a fake-out, Tom stages a video clip of himself filming one of the rooms, then pretends to be attacked by screaming and dropping the camera and walking into frame as the Easter Ripper, hiding an Easter egg with the Fool tarot in a nearby piano. Finally, Tom had his last to-be victim, Emma, participate in his deadly game, stalking her around the house while she collected Easter eggs from dead bodies, which were embossed with Tarot card images, thematically referencing the demise and negative qualities of their "holders". End and demise: After Emma collects all 4 Easter eggs and escapes into the greenhouse, The Easter Ripper appears before her and reveals the truth to her: he was Tom, the cameraman. He reveals that he killed the news crew to avenge his brother Anthony, who took his place as the killer and was executed instead, before attacking her. Emma manages to defeat him by shooting him multiple times with a single-barreled shotgun. When Emma goes for the door, Tom reappears, heavily bleeding, declaring that he cannot be killed, but before he can descend upon Emma, the ground starts shaking and all of his murder victims start rising from the dirt and ashes. While Emma runs and manages to escape, the same cannot be said for Tom. The children swarm him, shoving him to the floor before tearing him apart and devouring him. As Emma escapes, a bright light appears in the greenhouse before the game ends. Reveal (Extended ending): After Emma escapes from the greenhouse, the director says cut, revealing all this to be a part of the film. Sarah, Emma's actress, complains to the director that the twist ending didn't make any sense, noting that Tom was shorter than the actor who had actually played the Easter Ripper for most of the movie, Nick, who apparently bailed on them two days before the shoot ended. Nick was apparently unpopular and seen as creepy by staff member Emily, who noted that he never actually talked while on set. The actor that played Tom, Devante', could be seen inside the greenhouse with zombie kid actors. If Sarah, Emma's actress, talks to him, Devante' will say how he can't wait to take off the suit he's been wearing. Several more can be found in the living room area of the house, where Sarah notices that a few of the costumes are missing. He later appears inside the house where others are partying. When asked by Sarah, Gary's actor, Dan, denies that the filming site was the location of a string of actual murders, waving it off as simply a rumor. As Sarah drives home, the camera slowly moves to the trunk of the car, revealing the unmoving, bloodied Easter Ripper stowed away inside. In the end. He was able to plan the entire deadly Easter egg hunt as well, having a good knowledge of his house, leaving items around the place to prolong Emma's stay at the house, only to snap right before the final battle and attack Emma without any precautions. The Easter Ripper's Victims: Eleven Children (mentioned): Abducted from the mall, tortured in his house and murdered during the deadly Easter egg hunt, with some of them freezing and starving to death after they've been left for dead upon Anthony's arrest and the house being abandoned. Anthony Smith: Turned himself in to the police, claiming to be the Easter Ripper to protect Tom, later executed via an electric chair. Janitor Jack (possibly): Went to go call the police and also defend himself and Justin from the Easter Ripper, but the killer eventually follows Jack and presumably murders him off-screen. Justin: Stalked throughout the mall and either kidnapped to be brought to Tom's house or killed on the spot with a sickle. Jerry, the Real Estate Agent: Killed off-screen before the News 9 crew arrives at the house, body dumped in a bathtub and an Easter egg with the Justice tarot card stuffed in his mouth. Dana: Approached from behind, lifted in the air and then the right arm along with a head chopped off with a sickle, later an Easter egg with the Death tarot card shoved into the mouth. Gary: Disemboweled and sliced multiple times with a sickle, body hanged by a chain attached to the ceiling, an Easter egg with the Hanged tarot card placed inside the gaping wound on his stomach. Emma (if caught): Face sliced off with a sickle, caught and squeezed to death, or thrown to the ground and the head slammed to death against the floor.
