Yeah, Curse made him look just like a goober.

I am hoping to find time to work on the rest of my fan fic but I did delve a little more into his background in my version.

Maybe it's better that we never know. It would help kinda make him stand out. Although I have to admit... I didn't like the way he was portrayed in Curse. Made him seems more screwed up than he already is as a killer.

I like the little bit of backstory we got in Curse. Maybe he wanted a family of his own but he knew that he could never be a family man because he is a killer and he had a very troubled past even though he does have a family of his own now. Of course he has ruined a lot of families in the past 25 years. He said that he always had a thing for families,especially kids. And Spanky,what is a goober?

A goober is a euphemism for just like a loser. Like it took away from his intensity for me and made him look like some emo that didn't get the girl he wanted.

I do not agree with what you said. He still has intensity and he absolutely did not look like an emo.

That's why I said goober lol. I didn't mean emo in the sense he's gonna go listen to some Linkin Park after his Dad yells at him. I mean he just seemed less hardcore and more pathetic and dweeby. He seemeed more like a creeper than a sadistic serial killer.

I agree... part of me wants to omit this knowledge that has been burned into my head. Although I can always put the spin to myself that Sarah reminded him of a better time on his life and that was his last attempt at normalcy before going ape shit again.

I watched CP and CP2 today, and it reminded me of some of Phil's character development in the novel. The dude has some game and there's a pretty nice snippet about him getting a little frisky with Joanne.
