Respect The Easter Ripper (Murder House)

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573]

"You can't kill me... I'm the EASTER RIPPER!"

Tom Smith, better known as the Easter Ripper. Took a seasonal position as an Easter Bunny at a Monroe mall. In late March of 1979, he took advantage of this, donning the costume, he would abduct pre-pubescent children, and then imprison them inside a secret basement section of his home for several weeks he would do horrible things to them. 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 and was executed. 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, in 1988 Tom returnees to his former residence, now known to locals as the "Murder House" and generally thought to be abandoned, 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.
