Mr. Jingles

Young Angie Randall watches Mr. Jingles murder her parents in their home. Tom Reeser Baines and Chris Peters shoot the killer to stop him. The tragedy marks the traumatic origin of Angie's life.

The trauma from the attack lands Angie in an institution where she remains for years. Her early life is defined by treatment and isolation as she tries to cope with the horror.

As a teenager, Angie is released into the care of Aunt Helen Jameson and her cousins Dylan and Heidi. The quiet years are uneasy as she adapts to a family life after years of confinement.

At the local cemetery, a visitor is killed by a figure dressed as Jingles. The threat returns to the town as old fears resurface.

Baines, now the mayor, and police officer Guinness respond to the cemetery killings. A mysterious stranger arrives, warning that Jingles' lynching and Angie's abduction fears may be part of a broader cover-up. The atmosphere grows tense as suspicion spreads.

The stranger’s evidence includes occult objects found in Jingles’ prison cell, hinting at deeper conspiracies. Guinness recalls Jingles chanting a strange language as he lay dying, deepening the mystery. The authorities resolve to learn more and act.

The pair rush to gather the items needed to banish Jingles, but he confronts them as they leave. The confrontation results in the stranger's death and Guinness being wounded.

Back at the Jameson house, Angie’s party planning resumes as the family prepares for a celebration. Melanie, Guinness's daughter, dresses as Jingles to crash the party, hoping to expose the killer.

Melanie is struck down by the real killer as the false Jingles costume attempt fails. The killer breaches the party, shattering the celebration.

Jingles breaks in during the party and murders Heidi, Dylan, and the other revelers, leaving Angie as the sole survivor. The house is filled with fear and chaos as the violence escalates.

Some time later, Baines returns with two police officers and finds an hysterical Angie clutching Jingles' axes, creating the impression that she is the killer. The investigation pivots toward Angie as the prime suspect.

Guinness rushes to protect Angie as Jingles charges the house, striking at Baines and another officer. The confrontation escalates, placing Angie directly in harm's way once again.

The narrative closes with Angie, the sole survivor of the massacre, haunted by the events and the malevolent presence of Jingles. Her future is shaped by the trauma and the unresolved questions surrounding the killer's return.
