A small-town serial killer with a curious penchant for self-promotion unleashes a blood-soaked frenzy of terror in his violent effort to become the best-known slasher in
horror history. On the surface,
Leslie Vernon (
Nathan Baesel) is just your average, everyday guy whose lofty dreams for the future drive him to excel at his chosen profession. But
Leslie's chosen career path is a far cry from that of your typical middle-class wage earner; his ultimate goal is to follow in the footsteps of his mentor, notorious serial killer
Eugene (
Scott Wilson). He's not shy about his malevolent ambitions either. In fact, in order to better document his impending murder spree,
Leslie has offered budding filmmaker
Taylor Gentry (
Angela Goethals) and her dedicated crew unprecedented access to his life as he sets into motion a plan designed make to make the formidable feats of
Jason Voorhees,
Freddy Krueger, and
Michael Myers look like a mere warm-up for the homicidal hysteria that's about to unfold. Along the way,
Leslie will even be so cordial as to teach
Taylor and her crew the tricks of the trade while candidly deconstructing the many myths and archetypes of his murderous occupation.
