Biography[]
Enos was a truck driver who lived in a town outside of Crystal Lake Township. He often ate lunch at a diner and chatted with a waitress named Trudy. In June of 1979, a young hitchhiker named Annie Phillips came into the diner asking how far it was to Camp Crystal Lake. Enos offered to drive Annie to her new job at the Crystal Lake campground. Before getting into the vehicle, a local doomsayer named Ralph accosted them, warning Annie that Crystal Lake had a "death curse". Enos shooed Ralph away and drove Annie for a leg of her journey. Despite the dismissive way he acted towards Ralph, Enos likewise tried to discourage Annie from taking the summer job, claiming that Camp Crystal Lake was jinxed. Annie countered by telling him that he was starting to sound like Crazy Ralph. When it became clear that Annie was not going to turn down the work, Enos called her a "dumb kid" and dropped her off.
