"Defined by one's past"

Films: Offerings (1989)

Alias: None

Type: Natural

Location: Civilized area

Height/Weight: That of an average human.

Affiliation: Evil

Summary: Now what was that old phrase again? It was "Be careful of the guy you used to pick on". Chances are, they will remember all of the suffering you inflicted on them, and holy shoot will you pay!

History: John Radley would have liked a stool and a rope for any one of his birthdays. Why? His parents hated him, his peers mocked him, he was too mute to do anything about it, and everything just generally seemed to be worse around him. Literally the only person who didn't treat him like dirt was sweet little Gretchen. But it didn't help much when he got thrust down a well after an ill-thought prank. After spending years in comatose in a hospital, the heavily disfigured lad has broken loose, and his hellbent on making his tormentors suffer. At the same time, he would like to offer their leftovers as gifts to his beloved Gretchen as a misguided way of saying, "thank you".

Notable Kills: Drags a guy under the bed just to shoot him down.

Final Fate: Once John's rampage goes too far, the local sheriff guns him down. A sad end for a sad man.

Powers/Abilities: None

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 3-John is pretty much a nicer version of Michael Myers, if you can believe it. His almost excessively tragic backstory and his rather twisted sense of love for that one girl make him just unique enough to not be a total rip-off.

Trivia: -People being convicted for killing in the name of love is nothing new to the real world. It's just that more times than often, that love is just a twisted excuse to murder someone. At least Radley here was genuine!

-This film was known in Mexico as "Regalos Mortales", which roughly translates to "Deadly Gifts".
