## Biography

After receiving a ticket to a screening of an unknown film, George and his friend Ken went to the Metropol theater where the event was held. While Ken admired the motorcycle displayed in the lobby, George was drawn to the young student Cheryl, who had convinced her best friend Kathy to attend the screening with her. George helped the girls get a soda from the broken vending machine.

Before the movie started, George and Ken found where Cheryl and Kathy were sitting and sat next to them. George flirted and offered his hand in case the film was too frightening for Cheryl. During the showing, George watched the horror film intently while Cheryl held onto his arm out of fear. Partway through the film, Carmen cut through the movie screen and slowly and violently transformed into a demon. George, Ken, and Carmen's friend Tony tried to help the woman, but fled as soon as she started murdering another movie-goer, Frank.

The remaining survivors attempted to escape from the Metropol building, but they found an unbreakable wall where the exit door should've been. Cheryl panicked, but George noted that there must have been an explanation for the events. Tony, taking leadership of the survivors, told them to search for another exit. Soon, however, they found the demonic Rosemary rampaging through the halls, and locked her in a room behind a vending machine.

George joined Tony and Ken as they traveled to the projection room and destroyed the film equipment. When they returned to the auditorium, the survivors found the eyeless Werner, who muttered that the film wasn't the cause of it, but rather the building itself. Tony ordered George to help him remove Liz's body, but he refused, believing Liz to be dead and no danger to the others. After a brief argument, Tony gave George his pocket knife before he was suddenly killed by Liz and her demon lover.

With Tony dead, George took over as leader of the group of survivors, telling them to create a barricade so that the demons couldn't enter the auditorium. He also broke through one of the walls only to find an enclosed brick room with no escape. Cheryl panicked, but George told her to calm down as she wasn't helping the situation. The group returned to the auditorium only to hear gunfire coming from the Metropol's lobby. Believing themselves to be saved, the majority of the survivors started removing the barricade. George, however, screamed for them to leave the barricade up.

As demons started pouring into the room, George gathered Ken, Cheryl, and Kathy and escaped by crawling through a path in the barricade. The rest of the survivors were killed and possessed by the demons inside. While searching for a way out, George found an air conditioning vent. Ken suggested they hide inside the vent from the demons. However, Kathy, who had been attacked by the demons, succumbed to her infection and transformed into a demon. Ken managed to knock her down, but a horned demon baby burst from her body and slashed Ken.

Worried for his friends' safety, Ken fled from George and Cheryl. The pair followed behind, and after finding a statue holding a katana, Ken begged George to kill him before he transformed into a demon. George refused, but ultimately decapitated Ken after he became a demon.

George and Cheryl took the motorcycle from the lobby and rode through the Metropol, using the katana to cut down any demons they came across. They soon discovered a helicopter which had fallen through the ceiling, and use it to escape to the roof. There, they were ambushed by the Man in Black. The mysterious man nearly killed George, but Cheryl pierced his back with a metal spike. George then assisted Cheryl in forcing the masked man's head down on a rod, killing him.

Finally out of the Metropol, George and Cheryl ran down the streets only to discover the city overrun with demons. A Jeep Driver and his children found the two and invited them onto his jeep. The driver told George and Cheryl that the demons are everywhere, but that he's taking his children to the countryside to start a new life. George and Cheryl accompanied him until Cheryl suddenly transformed into a demon, having been scratched on the neck at some point during the madness. The driver's son Kirk quickly shot Cheryl with a shotgun, killing her and knocking her body off the jeep. The horrified George continued on with the driver and his family to safety.
