Biography[]
Max was a teenager from Mathisville in the late 1980s. He was dating an Asian-American girl named Frannie. In 1988, a fellow high school student named Angela Franklin invited Max and Frannie to a Halloween party that she was hosting at Hull House. Max and Frannie rode to the party in a car with Judy Cassidy and her date Jay Jansen. While driving down Old Hull Road, they passed another group of teens en route to the party and offered to "give them a hand", which resulted in Max clapping at them as they drove past.
Once everyone go to Hull House, Max told the group about the abandoned funeral home's sordid history. He had apparently learned about Hull House from Mrs. Pointer at the local library. Later in the evening, couples began splitting off and Max and Frannie went into a parlor filled with caskets. They both admitted to never having had sex in a coffin before and climbed inside. While all this was going on, a demonic presence had been unleashed and began taking possession of the other partiers.
One of the possessed was an obnoxious young man nicknamed Stooge. Stooge came into the coffin room while Max and Frannie were having sex. He slammed Max's arm repeatedly with the coffin lid until it fell off, then killed them both. Max and Frannie's bodies both became vessels for the demonic influence, and they chased the other surviving party members throughout the property. When the sun came up, the rays exorcised the demons from their hosts and Max and Frannie's bodies collapsed to the ground.
