Despite that it’s a popular attraction, it’s brining in out of towners which means more business for main street, people have to be conflicted over this, some could try to take matters into their own hands. This isn’t the same as using an abandoned house or prison, this is still a fresh wound. Of course the people of the town hate this, as this man is taking advantage of their tragedy, the killings were only a year ago, they are still grieving. The idea of someone turning the site of an actual massacre into a tourist attraction is pretty interesting, I kind of wanted this to be the main story, as this could have carried the whole book. During the past year the Duvall family buys up the land where the massacre happened, turning it into a haunted house experience and I really enjoyed this plot and wish there was more to it. Things pick up when the mayor gets attacked at the same time his daughter and her friends get attacked in Philly, leading them to return to Kettle Springs. I won’t spoil who the clown was, but it’s pretty obvious when you think about it. Jerri is an interesting character, as she is a survivor of the massacre, she had to watch her sister die, but the clown who killed her sister let her live and doesn’t know why or who it was. We do get a couple new characters, the mayor’s girlfriend Izzy Reyes, who also runs the Eureka movie theatre, where Jerri Shaw works. They dealt with being part of a massacre, they have to deal with the fallout of that, but now people think they started it and want to see them pay for it, your whole perspective of the world is going to change.

I enjoy the beginning of this where Quinn is showing Cole and Rust around Philly, they have to deal with being celebrities now, while also worrying about their safety, since they don’t know who out to get them now. Yet despite this people quickly believe it thanks to poorly made videos, claiming the whole thing is a hoax, thanks to the past few years I completely believe this would happen. The sad thing about this is how real it is, the idea of Quinn planning this only four days of living in Kettle Springs is absurd and makes no sense. Of course, the massacre reaches the rest of the world and conspiracy theories quickly emerge around it, including that Quinn and her friends, now known as the three, planned this to kill all the town’s authority figures. During the past year he along with Cole, have helped to turn Kettle Springs around, rebuilding Main street while also removing all traces of Frendo from the town. We begin a year after the Baypen massacre, with Quinn in college in Philly, while her father is now the mayor of Kettle Springs.

SPOILERS! In the tradition of slashers we get a sequel, we makes sense as Arthur Hill survived at the end and he still needs to kill his son.
