## Personality

John Anderson is a greedy and selfish man who plans out his murders before executing them. He can be deceitful while appearing as a kind and caring man and shows no value for family whatsoever as he only cares about getting what he wants.

## Background

John Anderson was the brother of a Greenskeeper named George Anderson, who inherited the golf club he works at through marriage. Wanting to own the club himself, John attempts to kill his own brother by lighting up gasoline on the ground and setting off an explosion that burns George as he was working. However, George was able to survive the explosion but is now horribly burned. Not willing to face anyone, even his own son, with his disfigured face, George runs off and hides in the nearby woods. Although George is still alive, he was no longer in John’s way to claim the club for himself, but he finds out that George’s son, Allen, is the next heir to the club. Needing to get close, John marries George’s wife to own the club and plans to kill Allen next.

## Biography

John plans to kill any other person at the club to divert attention away from him and to make Allen’s death look like it was part of a killing spree. Upon hearing that George’s accident has made him an urban legend of the club, John dons a Greenskeeper suit himself to blame all the deaths on The Greenskeeper.

On Allen’s birthday, where he is now at the age to take over the club, John begins the killing spree by killing a golfer, Chip, with his golf club. To avoid suspicion, John calls a policeman to check the murder out and tells him to keep it a secret to avoid panic.

At nighttime, Allen’s girlfriend, Christi, convinces him to have his birthday party at the golf club so she and her friends can party all night since he’s the assistant Greenskeeper of the club. Allen agrees to it just so he can invite Elena, a girl who works at the club and who he has a real crush on.

John continues the body count on a tennis player, named Chez, who also arrived at the club at night. As Chez was practicing his tennis skills with a tennis ball machine, John poured a bunch of nails into the machine when Chez wasn’t looking and one of them is shot at Chez between the eyes, killing him. John then goes after his girlfriend, Tina, who was in the club’s bathroom, and kills her by impaling her neck on a coat hanger in one of the stalls.

Later, one of Christi’s friends, Stu, was left behind in the pool after the others abandon him and John drowns him in the water and strangles him with his whistle hanged around his neck.

John continues his killing spree by crushing Chet’s genitals with a golf ball polisher after he was having sex with Mary Beth, who he also kills by throwing a pair of opened shears at her back.

After John then seemingly kills the club’s current greenskeeper, Otis, by stabbing him in the back with shears, he then kills a Champ and Mary Jane by puncturing through their bodies with a hole cutter while they’re having sex on the golf grounds.

Elena arrives at the party where she finds Stu’s dead body on the lifeguard post of the pool and she runs into George, who's still wearing his Greenskeeper suit after all these years. He brings Elena to his cabin in the woods to keep her safe from John, although she thinks he’s the one who did the murders while still not knowing his true identity. However when George leaves, John appears in his own Greenskeeper suit and ambushes her from behind a boarded up wall. Elena manages to escape by biting John’s arm and runs back to the club.

George chases after her and tries to warn her about John but she hides from him, still thinking he is the same Greenskeeper who just attacked her.

Elena comes across John’s victims as she runs around the club and comes across Christi’s dead body, who has been tied to a tree with golf pins stabbed in her forehead.

Elena runs to the shack of the club’s current Greenskeeper, Otis, to get help only to find him walking out with a pair of shears stabbed in his back and falling down, much to her shock.
She heads into the shack where George arrives and Elena ambushes him. As George struggles with her, Allen arrives and hits George with a nearby bat in the shack, knocking him down.
George tries to take his mask off to reveal himself to Allen but John comes in, no longer wearing a Greenskeeper suit, and shoots George with a gun.

As John comes up to Allen and Elena, Elena notices her bite marks on John’s arm from when she bit him back at George’s cabin, making her realize that John is the real killer.
As Elena is about to tell Allen about him, John points his gun at the two and explains everything about his plan and his goal to take over the club. Before John could shoot them, George manages to recover and uses a rake to stab John’s foot.

George confronts John as he begs him to not kill him. However, John grabs a sprinkler hose from one of the shelves and stabs George with it, causing his blood to spray out of it.

John is about to go after Allen and Elena with a shovel until he suddenly hears a cord being pulled. Looking back, he’s caught off guard to see Otis, still alive, pulling the cord of a broken lawnmower he was working on until the propeller blade flies off and launches itself at John, decapitating him and putting an end to his killing spree.
