Evil lives in the back woods and swamps of the Deep South. From the dark corner of a decadent plantation mansion to the soggy decay of a one-room swamp shack, it breeds and festers, grows and blooms. It lies in the recesses of small town ignorance and poverty.
Waiting. Waiting. Always waiting. Watching patiently like a hidden viper coiled and ready to strike! And when it does, its venomous fangs show no mercy and suffer no remorse.
Who will be Evil's next victim?
