A few years ago in a small rural town in West Virginia a trucker by the name of Ray Williams stopped in a local bar to have a drink before calling it a day. As Ray drank his beer a few of the more colorful locals began to taunt Ray about the color of his skin, and it didn’t take to long for things to get out of hand. After a vicious beating Ray was left for dead in an isolated cornfield and the whole incident was covered up by the local sheriff. But Ray didn’t die in that field that day and for the last few years Ray has been roaming those fields and hills of West Virginia seeking vengeance day by day.
Crystal Lake has Jason Voorhees, Haddonfield has Michael Myers, Elm Street has Freddy Kruger and now Rolling Glenn has Plasterhead.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, Ray Williams is in fact Plasterhead! If you’re asking yourself how Ray got that name, well he got beat so bad out there in that cornfield that he now wraps his face in a plaster cast in order to hide his disfiguration and to simply help hold it together. It’s taken Ray about fifteen years to exact any revenge on those that have done him wrong, but for some reason he seems to like to take it out anyone he can get his hands on, not just those that deserve it.
OK, sit back and follow the story, you’ll know it pretty well already. Bunch of kids from the big city on a road trip, get off the main route and end up in a podunk hick town for some reason or another. Said podunks of local podunk town are as stereotypical as the cliché bunch of friends and before you can blink the friends have fired up the locals and have learned of a dark town secret that they are going to wind up smack dab in the middle of. The only problem is the town secret isn’t that great. Sure it’s a nasty thing to happen to someone, but I couldn’t see why the killer kills everyone.
Now Ray, err Plasterhead, has all the right to be pissed, but he needs to focus more on who he is pissed at. In the story the entire town has just simply closed off the area where it happened and seem to just let old Plasterhead roam around up there and kill any hunter dumb enough to walk on in. I mean hell, Plasterhead has moved into a sweet house that got abandoned, it has electric and running water, so someone is paying the bills and someone is also supplying him with plaster for his masks, because he sure as hell is using enough of it. Wait, maybe back when he was Ray Williams he was hauling a truck load of plaster, hence all his plaster supplies. I don’t know for sure, but it sounds logical.
