Harry Warden

Harry Warden, also called "The Miner", is the posthumous overarching antagonist of the 1981 slasher film My Bloody Valentine.
Harry Warden, much like the character of Drew Shinnard in Prom Night, was a target of speculation and estimation in who was the masked killer killing the partying adolescents. Harry, like Shinnard, also has a history of committing atrocities naturally making him the main suspect of the gruesome youth murders. However, Harry, like Shinnard, are both innocent in the main massacre occurring.
He was portrayed by Peter Cowper.
==History==
Harry Warden was once a miner working the Hanniger Mine in a small coastal town of Valentine Bluffs. During two informants failed to check the methane gas levels down in the mine and instead departed for the local Valentine Dance. Because of this grave mistake, five miners were trapped in the explosion, one of which was Harry Warden.
After a 6 week search, Harry was recovered by local man Happy and brought to the hospital. It was found out Harry survived by eating the remains of the other dead caved in miners and has since gone crazy. When released the following February the 14th Harry exacted revenge upon the informers by killing them with a pickaxe and placing their hearts in heart-shaped candy boxes. He also swore a vow of bloody vengeance should anyone try and celebrate a Valentine Party again he would kill them take their hearts too.
Years later, the the residents of Valentines Bluff held a Valentine Party against the wishes of Happy and the mayor. Apparently true to his words, a sudden and horrific murder spree started. This alerted the party goers who fled in a panic. However, hours before the discovery of the murders, several party goers ventured into the mines where soon afterwards, most of the people in the mines were killed.
However, at the end of the film, it is revealed that Axel Palmer was the serial killer. The reason he became Harry was after watching his father (who was one of the informants) have his heart ripped out and that Harry had died five years prior to the film events. His cause of death is unknown, it is possible that after he had suffered a mental breakdown he committed suicide.
==Trivia==
