“My popularity was my gore stuff. You know I was a combat photographer in Vietnam. So I saw horrible shit. To me if the fake stuff didn’t give me the same feeling I got when I saw the real it wasn’t good enough. I think that’s where my reputation came from. My gore was very realistic.” - Tom Savini
A former summer camp caretaker, horribly burned from a prank gone wrong, lurks around an upstate New York summer camp bent on killing the teenagers responsible for his disfigurement.
People say that my interest in gore began because I was a combat photographer back in Vietnam. I saw horrible shit, but it wasn’t my interest in gore, it was my interest in makeup. Vietnam was like a lesson in anatomy where I got the gore right. The blood had to be the perfect colour, the next day it turns brown; I learned a lot. That’s where I got my reputation for realism because of what I saw in Vietnam. But I think it was just my interest in makeup that led to me being called the King of Splatter. - Tom Savini

They never found his body, but they say his spirit lives in the forest. This forest. A maniac, a thing no longer human. They say he lives on whatever he can catch. Eats them raw, alive maybe. And every year he picks on a summer camp and seeks his revenge for the terrible things those kids did to him. Every year he kills. Right now he’s out there. Watching. Waiting. So don’t look; he’ll see you. Don’t breathe; he’ll hear you. Don’t move - you’re dead!
