Plot

The story is about a horror movie actress named Raven Quinn (Debbie Rochon). After her marriage crumbles down, she wins the custody of her daughters and raises them alone. She feels fortunate that she finds a good neighbor named Wayne (Grant Kramer) who provides a much needed emotional support and agrees to baby sit her two young daughters. [4]

Little does Raven know, Wayne has his share of murders while growing up [5] and has now set his eyes to stalk her. Wayne has an altar full of Raven's pictures [6] and a mannequin resembling Raven in his house.

As the movie progresses, Wayne feels cheated that Raven's co-workers are sharing her attention. Feeling jealous, Wayne murders Raven's co-stars one by one while dressed in a Santa Clause costume. [7] His weapon of choice is a "claw". [8]
