"Power to the Freaks"

Films: Candy Corn (2019)

Alias: None

Type: Mystical

Location: Civilized Area

Height/Weight: That of an average human.

Affiliation: Evil

Summary: Freakshows are a common locale for the weird, the supernatural, and the misunderstood. But here, the freaks are still target no. 1 when paranoia rises and tempers flare. So, when the going gets tough, the persecuted create a persecutor.

History: Jacob Atkins was a mentally-challenged guy working for Dr. Death's Sideshow Spookhouse Spectacular, a freakshow run by Dr. Death, AKA a guy named Lester. Then one day, a bunch of hoodlums decided to bully him like they do every year, only to end up killing him this time. Lester, rather enraged by their callousness and perhaps a bit remorseful for how he treated the guy, resurrects him as a monstrous ghoul to exact vengeance upon them. Sure enough, Jacob's hunt begins...

Notable Kills: Rips out a huge section of a guy's spine out of his back.

Final Fate: After killing just about everyone who wronged him, Jacob confronts the main bully at the freakshow's area. He rips his arms off and replaces his teeth with candy corns. We don't know where he is now, but it can be presumed that he's working with Lester still, who has it in for those who would insult the freaks of the world.

Powers/Abilities: Complete immortality.

Weakness: Every now and then, Jacob has to be revived with fresh blood, otherwise he'll just collapse.

Scariness Factor: 4-Whatever the ritual did to Jacob, it can't be all that good. This zombified being is equal parts horrible to look at and strong enough to tear you to pieces. You'd better have some respect for the different, otherwise this guy will bring you down.

Trivia: -This film was done in Blanchester, Ohio, where some actual murders happened in the late-90s. Needless to say, it involved broken love, conspiracy, and lots of money. Not really anything related to this story.

-Jacob was played by Nate Chaney. It is his only role, as far as we know.

Decent-at-best candy wasted.
Peter Dinklage?
Would have been scary, if not for the gap in teeth.
He must have learned from Sub-Zero.

His benefactor, everyone.
