Killers

## History

The ***Killers*** are the central main antagonists of the *Fear Street trilogy.* There are currently 8 main killers in the series, along with the Goode Family, who started the Shadyside curse of the killers in 1666 where Solomon Goode used an innocent girl named Sarah Fier as a scapegoat. Prior to the 3rd of October 1994, both Shadyside and Sunnyvale believed the work of the killers to be Fier until Deena put an end to the curse after she killed the current holder of the Grimoire, Sheriff Nick Goode. However, after his death, an unseen character stole the grimoire although their motives for doing so are unknown.

## Killers

### Pastor Cyrus Miller

The first known serial killer is Pastor Cyrus Miller, who killed children in his congregation by gouging out their eyes. Among these victims were Henry, Sarah Fier's brother, and Constance.

This came after he began muttering to himself and acting strange, then all of sudden Sarah found he had locked the children in the church hall, and killed them under the influence of the devil, upon attempting to kill Sarah, Solomon then grabbed a rake and stabbed the once good pastor which ultimately killed him and in turned saved the life of Sarah. He was later mentioned by the latter who was forced to admit she had been the one to bewitch Miller despite being innocent.

### William Barker

William "Billy" Barker was a young boy during the 1920s who was bullied due to his facial deformity which caused him to wear a mask. During 1922, he was sacrificed by John Goode where he went on to murder his brothers with his bat, his other two known victims were Ruth and Henry Milton who were most likely his parents. The deaths of his brothers were reportedly witnessed by a neighbour who watched as the young boy battered his family members whilst they slept.

On the 19th of July 1978, the devil sent Billy to deal with the Berman sisters who were attempting to find out the truth about the Shadyside curse only to disappear once the killer's intended victims were killed although it ended with the survival of Ziggy. On the 3rd of October 1994, Billy was brought to do the same thing as before but his soul was soon set free from the curse once Deena killed Nick.

### Ed Carson

Little is known about this killer, except that he operated in 1935 and left body parts for people to find, hence his alias, "The Humpty Dumpty Killer".

### Harry Rooker

Harry Rooker was a male resident of Shadyside during the 1950s where he was the resident milkman. On the 13th of May, Michael Goode sacrificed Harry to the Devil which caused the once friendly milkman to turn on his customers, more notably housewives which he murdered seven of them with his knife, His future victims included Ziggy on the 19th of July 1978 and Officers Kapinski and Kuzio during the night of the 3rd of October 1994.

Once Nick died on the same night, Harry's soul was put to rest alongside the other killers.

### Ruby Lane

Ruby Lane was a teenage girl who on February 10th of 1965 was given up by Joseph Goode. Ruby's victims included six of her friends, her boyfriend and at the end of the spree, herself where she was forced to kill herself by using the same weapon she had used on the deceased. Her mother began working at Nightwing thirteen years later where Ruby was mentioned many times by the campers once Mary had been taken away, she was described as a sweet girl who was part of her school's choir. Ruby was soon summoned to the camp in an attempt to deal with the threat.

In 1994, Ruby returned where she sat close to the police station singing "You always hurt the ones you love" which had drawn the attention of Simon who walked over to her where once she noticed him, she attempted to kill him with her razor blade but was shot at by Deena who had stolen a gun. She alongside Tommy and Ryan were lured into Shadyside High where they were locked in a bathroom and blown up however Ruby came back to kill again. Later on, she was summoned to the grocery store where she stalked Josh.

On the night of the 3rd of October, she was sent to the mall to deal with the survivors however her soul was soon put to rest once Deena had killed Nick.

### Thomas Slater

Tommy originally worked as a camp counselor at Camp Nightwing during the week of the 12th of July 1978 until the 19th where he was sacrificed to Satan by a young Nick, his possession began as early as when he helped his girlfriend clean the mess hall as evident when the camp's nurse Mary Lance eventually snuck into the cabin and grabbed a knife with the intention on killing Tommy as she claimed she couldn't save him now that he was going to soon go on to kill.

His first victim was his co-counselor Arnie, he alongside Tommy, Alice and Cindy had gone to find Sarah's grave where upon finding it, the girls split up and went ahead but Arnie remained behind with Tommy, Tommy's attitude began to change as he then grabbed an axe and began mutilating Arnie's face which was then witnessed by Cindy and Alice. When he was unable to get to the two, Tommy left the mark and went on to continue his spree.

His other victims included Joan, unnamed campers that were unable to escape, Jeremy, Gary ,Kate's aunt and Cindy herself. Tommy attempted to kill Ziggy but he instead hit Nick's ankle which gave him a limp that remained with Nick during 1994. He then appeared in the cabin where Alice, Ziggy and Cindy were planning to end the curse, he axed Alice in the chest which killed her. Tommy was soon decapitated and stabbed by the Bermans but was brought back due to the curse where he was now undead.

During their attempt to stop the curse, Tommy was part of the group that was summoned to stop them with him killing Cindy by using his axe.

In 1994, Tommy was brought back by Satan where his target was that of Sam, he appeared in the forest where he ran past Josh in an attempt to get his victim. Later on, the Nightwing Killer was lured into Shadyside High by Deena and her friends (including Josh) where he was blown up and burnt alongside the killers that had been lured into the room, under the impression they were safe, Deena and the other three left the school. Tommy was soon revived once again, in their final confrontation in the second attempt to end the curse, Tommy, Ruby and Ryan were three of the killers sent to deal with the threat. Tommy's final victim was Simon where he used his axe to lodge it into his victim's head, his kill was witnessed by Josh.

On the 3rd of October 1994, Tommy and the other killers were summoned to the mall to deal with Deena, Josh, Ziggy and Martin who were finally trying to end the curse. He was soon lured into one of the stores where the door was pulled down leaving him trapped, Once freed, Tommy and the others who were trapped turned on Nick where they began to kill him, once Nick died, Tommy's soul was put to rest and he vanished.

### Ryan Torres

Ryan Torres was an 18 year old graduate of Shadyside High who worked at the Shadyside Mall where he was sacrificed by Nick. His victims include Heather and ten others, six of which were unnamed mall employees, a nurse named Stephanie, Nurse Beddy, Peter Brody and lastly Kate. After his murder of Heather, he was soon shot in the head and killed by Nick who appeared on the scene to act as a hero.

Ryan eventually began to target Deena, her then ex girlfriend and her brother with Deena thinking the guy under the mask was Peter however her theory was debunked when she went to confront Sam only for Ryan to show up and stab Peter in the back which killed him, he then chased after the two who then ran past the bodies of his other victims. Upon being blown up by Deena's plan, he soon came back to continue his spree.

On the night of the 2nd of October, Ryan returned where he was able to grab and pin down Kate where he then began to shove her towards a bread slicer that then mutilated her. The next night, his soul is finally put to rest once Nick himself died to Deena where the curse ended thus freeing Ryan.

### The Goode Family

Despite not being actual Shadyside Killers, the oldest of the male Goodes were the reason why the killings happened in the first place with it being passed down from father to son (Eldest if there was more than one child such as the case with Nick and Will). The curse lasted from around the 23rd of July 1666 to the 3rd of October 1994 with it starting with Solomon Goode who had six sons, one being already deceased by the time of the first possession and five others during an unknown time after Sarah's death. In total, the curse lasted for 119,861 days.
