The team later made the producer Mason Blue a suspect once again after finding his gun. Shortly afterward, Mokgadi Gwinyai, the Mazundan actress, told the APPD that Bluehouse Production had sent her a message telling her to immediately end the festival. The team then found enough evidence to arrest Z-Terminator creator, Grimwald Lincoln, for the murder.

Confessing to the murder, Grimwald said that his boyfriend Bobby Donne turned him down after their romantic summer due to his lack of wealth. When Grimwald became rich and famous due to his entertainment in zombie movies, he approached Bobby once again, only to get told that he was not a good suitor, that he would rather kiss Maggie. Seeking revenge, Grimwald knocked Bobby out and crushed him with a printing press, where he bleed to his death. In court, Judge Westley sentenced him to 18 years in prison.

Furthermore, despite not being involved in the next film, she said that Count Draco would print his fifth film on "something unusual."

The team deciphered that all three female murder victims in horror film festival has a same manner as the Lake Creature, who drowning three unnamed virgin women and also murdering all horror movie crew in the Onxy Swamp. The two then went to Maggie Cohan to find out who that someone was. Not remembering anyone in particular, she gave them permission to search her saloon, where they found a picture of young Julie Lawrence and scream queen Laurie Harris. Knowing Julie's connections to Laurie and Drew Becker, the cops talked to Maggie, who said that Drew had mocked Julie for being suffered from autism spectrum disorder and that Briana had never repaid the money she had lent her.

Meanwhile, Mandy and the player found a strange machine in the party camp, which they sent to Velia, who said that the machine mixed liquids to make various refreshments. She also found a sticker with the Hallows' Evening film on it jammed in the mechanism, which led the team to conclude that Bluehouse Production's fifth film would be on Twinville Downtown the next day.
