Biography[]
Early Life[]
William Owens was born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1951. As a teenager, he attended Worthington High, where he managed to become one of the star players on the football team.
The Disappearance of Mary Banner[]
On the night of November 5th 1969, Willy and his friends attempted to abduct their homecoming dates as some sort of prank. Willy's date, Mary Banner , thought they were planning something more sinister and tried to run. The chase ended in a maintenance room, where Willy knocked her unconscious in a fit of rage. Thinking that he killed her and fearing the consequences, he locked her body in a storage trunk and kept the secret for 30 years.
1999[]
Sometime before 1999, he got married to a woman named Pam and became the stepfather of her two children, Samantha and David. He eventually got involved in politics and tried running for the 1999 Mayor of Salt Lake City.
During a sleepover, his daughter and her friends were abducted by three Worthington High football players and left in an old mill. Upon discovering them missing in the morning, Bill called the police and they were unable to help them. A day later, Samantha walked through the door, dazed but unharmed. Though, the prank ended up waking Mary's spirit and she started appearing around town. When the pranksters are all murdered by her, Samantha and David try to investigate the matter. Seeing his stepchildren were getting close to uncovering the truth, Bill murders David and tries to kill Samantha in the cemetery. However, Mary distracts and attacks him, supposedly scaring him to death. At the end of the film, his body is seen carted away by paramedics, supposedly having died of a heart attack. With the truth uncovered and her revenge complete, Mary was finally able to move on.
Personality[]
Young[]
Popular and respected by most of the school, Willy comes off as charming and inviting. He seems like the type of guy who'd lend you his shoulder to cry on. But, deep down he harbors anger management issues and a sick sense of humor, as he thought it would be funny to drug and abduct his and his friend's dates.
Adult[]
As an adult, he clearly grew up a bit and does genuinely care for his family, with exception to his stepson, David. He still has a temper, but keeps it mostly suppressed. However, when it comes to digging up the past, he is willing to resort to anything to keep his secret, including murdering his own stepchildren.
