Q1

Who is Sister Mary Chopper and is she really a nun?

Q2

Why does Eugene become a serial killer at the camp?

  • nun

Q3

Why does Millie keep her survival from the 1977 massacre secret?

Why does Father Cummings bring teenagers to a camp with a deadly reputation?

Q8

How does Eugene hide as a camp killer for so many years?

Eugene operates as a local goth resident who can move through the area without suspicion. By disguising himself as Sister Mary Chopper, he creates a mysterious identity that confuses witnesses.

Q9

What is Eugene's backstory of being raised as a girl by an abusive nun?
