Biography[]

Background[]

Corey Holland was a Texarkana native and a local legend as a sports star, dating town outcast and recent orphan Jami Lerner, whose died in a car accident, leaving her in the care of her grandmother. His family and the town at large had high expectations of him, hoping he'd carry the name of the town all the way with him to college. With that pressure and resentment against it, Holland both wanted revenge on the cultures of the town and an infamy that made him something other than what he never wanted. He was a perfect recruit as a partner for Deputy Foster, who had a grandfather named Hank McCreedy who was the last, forgotten victim of a serial killer known as The Phantom Killer, striking on both sides of the border town and make it infamous nationwide for the murders of five other people and attacking three more, favoring couple's especially on lover's lanes. Foster was planning a new killing spree to emulate the Phantom, with the intention of his own revenge on the town and revealing his grandfather as the final victim in hopes Texarakana and the word at large would never forget. He enticed Holland with the prospect of being an undiscovered legend if he assisted Foster in the murders, which Holland eagerly agreed to.

The Town That Dreaded Sundown[]

The plan's put into action the night the original The Town That Dreaded Sundown is shown in an outdoor theater in the town on Halloween. Holland is there with girlfriend Jami Lerner, who became quiet and was shunned after her parents died in a car accident. When Lerner's not enjoying the film, the two drive off to a lover's lane. Holland confides he just plays football to get into SMU, and Lerner hopes for Austin, NYU or Cal State. When Lerner talks about how her dad was in journalism and her grandmother says it's in her blood, Holland calls her "like, super smart" and says she deserves to aim high. When they're kissing, Foster comes up in full disguise and, despite Holland saying he's peeping on them making, makes them both get out of the car. Pointing a gun in their faces, Foster has Holland take off his pants and lie down on the ground, Lerner turning away. Pretending to slash Holland to death just enough makes Lerner break into a run in the woods. Foster catches her and attacks her, rumbling "This is for Mary. Make them remember." Lerner reaches a diner at a nearby road and collapses before being taken to the hospital. She's questioned, and ironically Foster's her assigned dispatch watch.

A body identified as Holland is found the next day at the foot of a statue severely mutilated. It's really an runaway teen who's never named, Foster and Holland stabbing him to death before disfiguring his face and taking all his teeth, two of Holland's left at the scene. Lerner, who wants a career in journalism, in or out of Texarkana, starts trying to investigate the original crime spree after the funeral in Holland's memory. Lerner's hated by Holland's mother, Margaret, fro not fighting for Holland and running for her own life.

The murders continue with Corporal Daniel Torrens, who's returned home from military service, and his girlfriend Kendra Collins, the two spending an evening together in a motel to celebrate his return. When Collins has Torrens go out and get cookies from the vendor, Foster decapitates him and them breaks the motel room window with his head to terrorize Collins. Collins jumps out the window, but since it's not on the first floor, she breaks her legs and limps to the car t try and start it up. Holland's there, waiting for her to slash her to death.

Lerner gets a call from Foster saying "I'm going to do it again and again until you make them remember". When she sees the report of the couple's murder of the motel, she tells Foster, not knowing he made the call. Homes are locked up and the town arranges a meeting to address public fears and concerns. At the vigil for the victims, a disturbed local who wanted to die, named Paul Mason, approaches the crowd in the Phantom's garb, but a marine official shoots him dead, causing the town to celebrate and assume the Phantom's finally dead.

But two closeted gay band members, black Johnny and white Roy, are killed at a junkyard by Holland. While they both discuss fellating each other, Holland appears and Johnny jumps out and runs for his life. Roy tries to drive off, but he hits head and the car crashes. Holland later catches Johnny and knocks him down before beating him. While Johnny stumbles bloody, Roy's tied to a stake with Holland behind him mocking up a trombone knife like in the movie. When Roy screams for Johnny to run, Holland shoots Johnny dead. The using the trombone knife, Roy's repeatedly stabbed in his back. Foster later kills Deputy Tillman and a woman he picked up named Adelle.

Lerner's insisted by her grandmother, Lillian, to leave the immediately to state with her uncle in California. But Foster and Holland stalk them and intend to stop to escape. After Lerner has sex with Nick Strain, her classmate and newfound friend, as a goodbye and they part ways, Holland abducts Strain and stabs him to death. When Jami and Lillian reach the gas station and Jami goes in for concessions, the clerk, an elderly customer, and even Lillian are all shot dead, which Jami finds to her own horror, seeing Foster in a higher vantage perch in a building across the gas station, she grabs her mother's gun and runs to the old Union train station. Foster makes her run onto the tracks, where she finds Strain dead and in pieces, aligned outside of the trains wheels so an oncoming train drives right through Strain. Foster calls her with a taunt of "like a dog with a bone ain't ya", and Lerner sees Holland on the other side of the train before disappearing. Lerner runs into the woods, gun in hand, but Holland shoots an arrow in her leg while she crosses a stream and, when she sees Foster in front of her, Holland shoots her shoulder too. The two killer approach as she's crying on the ground, and Foster leans his head down to motion her pulling off his mask.

She sees Foster's the killer for the first time, and while forcing her to look, she sees Holland reveal he's the other killer removing his mask. She screams and cries "I saw him die, I watched you die" and also mentions the corpse identified as Holland. Foster and Holland remind her of forcing her to look away and reveal the runaway's murder and setup. Foster reveals he's McCreedy's grandson and thanks Lerner for making the town remember McCreedy. Lerner sobs why Holland in involved, and starts ranting how he never wanted the town to choose who he is. Lerner denies saying they're "the same" in that sense, and Holland starts ranting he wanting something more original for his own glory, so he became Foster's accomplice in the spree. In the middle of Holland's rants, especially turning into screams, Foster shoots Holland dead. Foster brags the death-faking and Lerner's search for McCreedy is meant to frame them both for the crimes, which he says Texarkana'll quickly accept out of fear it's not over. As Foster's about to stab Lerner, she grabs her grandmother's gun and shoots Foster in the chest into the swamp. Slowly getting up, Lerner grumbles "it is over", before shooting Foster in the face, leaving his body to sink into the stream. Lerner breaks down and cries, and a voiceover of her reveals when she called the police, they combed the waters and never found a dead Foster, either sinking in or drifted down the stream.
