Something has escaped the grounds of Blue Ridge Sanitarium in a trail of gore and blood. Something seething with hunger, an ancient hunger. One it needs to satisfy. It seeks safety in the woods that make up the wide valley below. Edging its way further into the dark patches of knotted forest, it emerges into the small suburb of Court Springs. It's hunger grows, it needs to satisfy the cravings. It smells something it likes behind the walls of one particular home. It's feeding time in, The Child Eater.
