## Background

In 1990, a married man named Charles Scavolini found out his wife has been cheating on him. So one night, Charles went up to their bedroom while his wife was sleeping and he started stabbing her in the stomach once she woke up. After killing her, he then cannibalized and sexually assaulted her body. Charles gets caught but was found mentally unfit to stand trial, so he was sentenced to a life within Glenvale Sanitorium, a maximum security mental health facility, where he never spoke another word. The director of the facility, Dr. Goldstein, diagnosed Charles with psychosis and feared that he might continue killing, so he ordered that Charles may never be released from the facility.

## Biography

After years have passed, Scalovini manages to escape Glenvale Sanitorium and murders the Caretaker and the Orderly in the process. On his way to his old house, he comes across a man who’s car has broken down in the woods and kills him with a knife when he was in the middle of repairs.

Once Scavolini makes it to his home, he finds out that a young man named Ash is currently living there and plans to have a party with his friends. After stalking some of Ash’s friends, Scavolini appears outside of another friend of his, Mike, and sneaks into his house as Mike lets his dog out. While Mike is calling for his dog to come back in, Scavolini takes a corkscrew from his kitchen and uses it to stab Mike in the back of the neck, killing him.

Later, Scavolini arrives back at his old house, now wearing a skull mask, just as Ash’s party has started. Using the garden tools from his old shed, Scavolini begins killing off each of the party guests after he knocks Ash out and keeps him in his shed.

Once Ash recovers, he heads back into his house where he finds some of his friends already killed. Just then, Scavolini appears and starts chasing after Ash until they’re outside. Ash tries to defend himself with a bat from Scavolini’s shed, but Scavolini still fights back. Just then, Ash’s other friend, Jimbo, arrives, barely alive, and tries to help Ash by stabbing Scavolini in the chest with a knife. However, this doesn’t do any good and Scavolini stabs Jimbo back with his own knife.

Ash heads back outside again and Scavolini chases after him again, but now with Ash’s bat. Once back outside, Ash takes out an axe from Scavolini’s shed and hacks him in the stomach. Once struck by the axe, Scavolini falls down and bleeds to death, finally dead.
