His old home, which has stood empty ever since that night, has recently been bought by a family of three, who are seeking to move forward from their own troubled past. But no sooner than the family move in does Nick break out of his imprisonment, proceeding to make his way to town with the intent of continuing what he started.

Door to Door

In Sarah’s opinion, her life has been one big misfortune after another. Coming from a troubled past, she’s been trying her hardest to do better and to provide for her young daughter, which would be easier said than done if her work hours hadn’t been cut down. With bills piling up and her ex threatening to sue for custody, she doesn’t hesitate to accept a temporary position for a door-to-door gig selling makeup and other beauty products, which sounds simple enough on paper, and hey, at the end of the day, its extra money in her pocket. She’s able to settle into the job with ease, about to call it a day when she discovers that there’s a house on the map she hasn’t been to yet, and decides to give it a shot. Knocking at the door introduces her to Christopher Monroe, who graciously invites her inside, only for her to shortly find that all is not as it seems in this outwardly lovely home, nor are they well with Christopher himself. It isn’t that he’s not buying...on the contrary, he’s very interested. Not in the product, but in Sarah herself...and he’s already decided he wants her visit to be a permanent stay.

Charlie Phillips harbors a troubled past, to say the least. After losing her parents to a tragic house fire, she moves to Springwood to live with her godparents, Dave and Grace -- although settling in proves to be easier said than done. Sure, some of the kids at school seem welcoming enough and while Dave and Grace are trying to be accommodating, there's also the issue of reoccurring nightmares, involving her parents and the night of the fire...or at least that's all they've been, until now. Now, an uninvited guest in a fedora and striped sweater has begun paying young Charlie (and her friends) unwanted nightly visits, but despite the growing body count, no one else in town seems to want to acknowledge what's really happening...all except for one. Her therapist, Dr. Alice Johnson.

The Texas Chainsaw Legacy

Forty-five years have passed since the original chainsaw massacres. Despite various eyewitness accounts of other attacks over time, the case has since gone cold and over time, has faded into general obscurity -- thus making it the perfect subject to an eager group of aspiring filmmakers, who decide to cover it as their thesis film about unsolved crimes. Their search for eyewitnesses to interview leads them to the doorstep of Jessie Hardesty, granddaughter of the massacre's sole survivor, Sally Hardesty. When the two reveal their intention to travel back to the original farmhouse in which many of the crimes occurred, Jessie is adamant in going along, intent on seeing the place for herself in the hopes of gaining some sort of closure for her family. What she -- and the others -- find waiting instead, is an aged and enraged Leatherface, alongside what remains of the twisted Sawyer clan. Who will survive this encounter, and what will be left of them?

I’m Not the Killer

Pineford Falls is a quiet town. Peaceful. Quaint. Or at least it was, until the night young Molly Norris was brutally attacked and killed in the safety of her own home. Police are quick to dismiss the case as a home invasion gone wrong, until another murder occurs in the next house over, and the next -- a pattern suspiciously similar to that of the infamous “Pineford Falls Slasher”, Tobias Harper…except he can’t be a suspect, because he was supposedly gunned down by police ten years prior. Now, it's his son Elliott who begins to fall under suspicion. He does seem the textbook killer type; he’s quiet, spends a lot of time alone, doesn’t have many friends, and not to mention harbors a troubled relationship with his mother. Fellow classmate and Deputy Sheriff’s daughter Hannah Cortez is the only person who believes in his innocence, but as her friends start to be picked off one by one and evidence starts to mount, is her faith in her new friend misplaced? Elliott himself doesn’t want to think so, but at the same time, there’s also that whole “suffering from blackouts” and “hallucinating his dead father” thing going on…

Now, any family plans must be put on hold as Tommy once again prepares to go face to face with his greatest enemy. Only this time, he’s not alone.

Friday the 13th: Recrudescence

Lineage: A Friday the 13th Tale

Foundling

What started out as a normal day in the park ended in every parent’s worst nightmare, as a momentary distraction causes Jenna Easton to lose sight of her young daughter, Melanie. Hours of searching turned into days, day turned into weeks, weeks into years, and during this passage of time there was no sign of the girl, no clues as to her whereabouts or who might’ve taken her. Its only ten years later, when Melanie has officially been declared dead in absentia, that a group of hunters stumble across the now sixteen-year-old in a seemingly abandoned hut. A previously grieving Jenna is overcome with joy and graciously welcomes her daughter back home, where she now resides with her husband Seth and their three other children. Although the family does their best to help Melanie settle in, she struggles greatly, often lashing out in violent outbursts and suffering sleepless nights due to repeated nightmares. To make matters worse, at the same time of Melanie’s being found, the town has been plagued with a series of what seem to be wild animal attacks. These attacks, plus Melanie’s apparent inability to readjust, begin to make Jenna question everything – and she can’t help but wonder, has her daughter changed in more ways than one since she’s been gone? Or is there something – or someone – more sinister responsible for what’s going on?
