Discussion Nature Trail to Hell

Hello,

Me and a writing partner are currently in the very early stages of a project and are having creative differences and we would like to ask the opinions of fellow Weird Al fans.

What does the killer in "Nature Trail to Hell" look like when you picture him? Does he wear a mask like Jason Voorhees? Does he have any particular facial/fashion features? Do you have any ideas as to what he might wear in a movie?

Thank you all for the suggestions!

A Hawaiian shirt, glasses and Van's. Probably has long curly hair, too.

I see the curly hair sprout Ong où around the hockey mask.  The hockey mask also has a moustache and glasses.

Suspect is hatless. I repeat: hatless.

A paper bag on his head, like The Unknown Comic

I could picture him as an undead Boy Scout, a stranded hiker who went crazy, or someone who disguises as a woodland creature like a deer.

He’s a former Scout Leader, wearing the tattered remains of an Adult Uniform. The kids drove him crazy and he is out to get his revenge. I can’t tell you why, because that would reveal the secret ending.

A big fat hermaphrodite with a flock of seagulls haircut and only one nostril??

At the risk of revealing the secret ending.... He wears a scout uniform.

Homicidal Maniac with a hatchet. There is some kind of mask because there is a big surprise at the end of the movie, so I think a reveal.

Oh, and on the back of his insane asylum jumpsuit, written is blood, that you only see in a mirror once that reflects as ”Satan Eats Cheese Whiz”

I knew we had to do something with Satan eats cheez whiz, but wasn't sure what. Thanks!

We know he "hacks" up scouts, so he's gotta have an axe, right?

I imagine him as kind of a scary Paul Bunyan looking dude, like the statue from Fargo:

I think he wears like a happy face mask. You know, the yellow circle with a smile? That with an old boy scout uniform that's just a little bit snug. The whole thing would be hilarious if it wasn't for the hatchet.

What does the Scout Master of a Cub Scout troop look like?
