Larry's Mother

*Not to be confused with the Wheelchair Lady from Stay Out of the House.*

**“***Why didn’t you feed the dog, Larry? Max is hungry. Why didn't you feed him, Larry? What's wrong with you, what is wrong with you! What's the matter, Larry? What's wrong with you? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?***”**
— **Larry's Mother's unhinged rantings**

**Larry's Mother** (Just called "**Mother**" in-game) is a supporting character in the *Blood Maniac* build of *Texas Butcher*, then known as *Larry the Butcher*, and a minor character in *Christmas Massacre*.

## Description

### Appearance

Larry's Mother appears to be the long-dead corpse of an elderly Caucasian woman with light grey hair in a braid, possibly a wig. She wears a floral patterned long-sleeved white shirt and a long brown skirt. Her head appears to be a flayed skull, with the mouth loosely hanging open and only her right eye remaing.

### History

Almost nothing is known about Larry's Mother, except that, as her name implies, she is the overbearing mother of Larry, whom she continuously both greatly abused and spoiled during his childhood. Outside of her violent fits of rage, despite her almost fanatic Catholic faith, Larry's Mother is frequently insinuated to commit acts of incest with her son, although this could just as easily be a figment of Larry's delusional and sexually depraved mind.

Larry's Mother once mentions an "Aunt Claire", but this is likely just a term of endearment, as Claire appears to be a young woman and does not appear to share an actual familial bond with the two, referring to Larry as "this kid" rather than her nephew.

## *Texas Butcher*

### Prologue

In 1951, Larry's Mother is heard beating her young son Larry behind a kitchen wall. As she hits him, baby's crying can be heard, while Larry's Mother yells at him in ever-increasing volume, before she stops abruptly and says that she is going out for a "big date" and promises Larry "a special treat" if he behaves himself with Aunt Claire.

### Chapter 1: Highway 10 Murder Massacre

Larry gets back from another murder spree, when Doggy tells him that "Mother" is waiting upstairs in her room. It is revealed that Larry's Mother is a rotting corpse, as seen by the flies circling her armchair, but in Larry's mind, his mother still speaks to him and demands he find himself a girl to marry. Larry, through suggestion by Doggy, instead decides to make a wife by himself, using the body parts of his next victims at a party in town.

### Chapter 2: Maple Street Slaughter

After Larry gets a leg from his latest mark, a bizarre sequence shows the finished "wife" moving into his bedroom, complete with the head of Larry's Mother. As the camera slowly pans down from head to foot, she tells Larry that she had been waiting for him, but he "never came". This is soon revealed to be a nightmare, although from this point on, the room of Larry's Mother can no longer be entered, with the matriarch herself nowhere to be found.

## *Christmas Massacre*

### December 31st, New Years Eve

Larry enters his house after returning home from laying waste to a New Years party, but when he opens the door to an usually empty room, he instead finds his dead mother inside, rocking away in a chair while repeating his name in various pitches. Larry is unable to harm her, as flames begin to form around her. The door out locks with the text "YOU'RE GOING TO BURN TO DEATH, LARRY" appearing over it as the calls for Larry intensify, ceasing almost immediately as the fire closes in on him, disappearing alongside Larry's Mother.

## Trivia

* Larry's Mother is primarily based on Norma Bates, the mother and alternate personality of *Psycho*'s Norman Bates, as well as inspired by the mothers of several real-life killers, most prominently Clarnell Strandberg, mother of serial killer Edmund Kemper and Augusta Gein, mother of body snatcher and murderer Ed Gein. Like Larry's Mother, all three were known to be domineering, abusive and neglectful, had their bodies either kept after death and mutilated/violated post-mortem after, with the exception of Gein, they had been killed by their sons.
