* CompleteMonster: [[MalevolentMaskedMan ChromeSkull]] is a psychopathic SerialKiller of mostly [[WouldHitAGirl young ladies]]. He tapes his murders with a shoulder-mounted video camera and sends them to the police, after which he puts his victims' bodies in coffins. Prior to the film he's already killed dozens of girls in different states-one of which was tied up lying on top of another of his victim's naked, implying rape-preparing to make Princess (a drug-addicted prostitute he had caused to lose her memory after [[BatterUp beating her in the head with a bat]]) his next victim. He locks her in a coffin inside a funeral home; when the mortician he was in league with [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness starts to become a liablity he kills him]]. Once Princess escapes his grasp, [=ChromeSkull=] tracks her to Tucker's house, killing Cindy along with her brother and his girlfriend. Upon reaching the police station he [[CopKiller kills the sheriff and deputy]]. Running out of tapes for his camera he has Princess go get him one from the store; when the teenage clerk and customers find out he turns the clerk's shotgun on him and blows his head off. He kills [[YourHeadAsplode Steven's face to explode]] by injecting canned tire inflator into his ear before killing Tucker who performs a HeroicSacrifice to buy Princess and Tommy time to escape. Returning from the brink of death in the sequel, [=ChromeSkull=] continues his killing spree. He breaks into the house of a legally-blind waitress girl named Jessica and kills her visiting friend. Trapping Jess in a coffin, he kills most of the group of officers who come to save her and nearly does the same to the detective.
