Coffin Baby is an undead serial killer from the 2004 remake of The Toolbox Murders and its sequel. He is portrayed by Christopher Doyle.

Origins
"He was a coffin birth, fighting his way out of his mother's womb as she laid in her casket. The mourners heard his cries, pulled him out."

- Charles "Chas" Rooker on Coffin Baby's origins

Little is known on the man known simply as Coffin Baby. According to Charles "Chas" Rooker, the oldest resident of Lusman Arms Complex, he was born from an unnamed woman shortly after her death, and ripped his way out of his dead mother's womb while she lay in her coffin. Hearing the infant's cries, mourners managed to save the child. It's also implied that Coffin Baby is in some way attached to Lusman Arms, originally existed as luxurious hotel built by its namesake Jack Lusman, who had strong ties to the occult. Lusman had built the Complex as a hotel and getaway for movie stars that shared his affinity for the occult. Its construction was plagued with mysterious deaths of its workers as they built a hidden townhouse within its walls and etched it with magic symbols that fuel Coffin Baby. Lusman himself would disappear shortly after controversy surrounding rumors of his occult practices.

For the next 57 years Coffin Baby lived within the Lusman Arms Complex, with countless innocents who came to reside there dying horrific deaths at his hands. All of his victims would be stored within the walls of the complex.

Toolbox Murders
In 2004 the complex underwent renovation, with many of the old walls being torn down. This seemed to enrage Coffin Baby who embarked an a killing spree throughout the complex. The first to die was Lusman Arms resident Daisy Rain, who was brutally beaten to death with a hammer inside her apartment.

Personality
"Separation between life and death is not the same for him... He was born of death."
