Obsessed Serial Killer

**Leonard Wright**, also known as **The Lincoln Killer**, is the main antagonist of the 2010 comedy-horror film *President's Day*.

He was a teacher and serial killer obsessed with one of his students who began killing the other candidates of a school presidential election so she would win. He also claims to be in love with Chelsea, but in reality, he is simply obsessed with her and just intended to murder her.

He was portrayed by George Stover as Leonard. As Lincoln, he was portrayed by Ryan Scott Thomas, Kevin Crawley, Chris LaMartina and Mike LaMartina in numerous different scenes.

## His Brilliance and Evil Rankings

### What Makes Him Amazing?

* He manages to contradict the movie's comedic tone, as his actions are never played for laughs and Leonard is taken completely seriously in general.
* Despite the film being an exploitation movie, Leonard's actions aren't played for pure shock value and there is a clear message behind his crimes and the movie itself, so he still stands out.
* He manipulated Chelsea by repeatedly yelling at her while saying that he loves her. While this is a lie, he still managed to gaslight Chelsea perfectly.
* Instead of destroying Maxine's wheelchair, he just left the wheelchair alone, but it was only because he liked seeing it covered in blood.
* He secretly planned to frame an innocent man named George Roemer for his murders even though George stayed out of this at all times.

### What Makes Him Heinous?

* When he sees a candidate making love with his girlfriend, Leonard kills him with an axe.
* After killing his first victim, he steals a vat of sulfuric acid from the science lab. Because of the lack of bodies, Tom and Tara's deaths are marked as disappearances.
* He kills a girl named Maxine, and even takes the body with him.
* He threatens the vice principal and forces her to go against the vote count and say that Chelsea is the new president. Afterwards, he gags the vice principal and leaves a letter in Chelsea's locker telling her to meet him in the fallout shelter.
* When Joanna goes to commend Jenna and Barbara on their part in revealing Chelsea's true personality, Leonard abducts her.
* After Chelsea stands up to him and rescues his intended victims, Leonard swings the axe into her stomach and kills her.
* He chases Joanna, and then tries to kill Barry while he fights him with a crowbar, which later results in Leonard's death.

## Trivia

* At first, Leonard was not classified as Pure Evil due to the assumption that *President's Day* was pure comedy and a shocking exploitation film with a high heinous standard due to being a slasher movie. However, it was proven that Leonard had enough kills to stand out and he was taken 100% seriously and his actions had a message behind them. As a result, he later got approved to be Pure Evil due to a successful re-proposal which was released in January 2023.
