Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Ghost in the Machine / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: The digital killer seems to delight in making his kills as gruesome as possible. Notable stand-outs are a guy being roasted to death in his kitchen, a man who's burned alive by a malfunctioning hand dryer, and a girl who's electrocuted on a wet floor. | |

Virtual Ghost | |
| Ghost in the Machine / int_4abc2ca9 | comment |
Virtual Ghost: A seriously injured Serial Killer is in an MRI machine when it is overloaded by a lightning strike. This also conveniently fries and kills the physical body. The resulting electronic consciousness is able to travel through power lines and kills people by manipulating and overloading electronic appliances, such as turning a hairdryer into a flamethrower. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Ghost in the Machine / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: If the police even show up, they make no contribution whatsoever. Aside from not bothering to inform Terri that the killer stole her address book before his death and that she was his last intended victim, the killer also manipulates the cops into converging on the home of Terri's mother after she sends Josh there for safety by calling in a downed officer in a hostage crisis. Despite no obvious signs of a hostage situation, they quickly turn the house into a shooting gallery. | |

Stalker with a Crush: The killer chooses his primary victims because he's attracted to them. When he focuses his attention on Terri, one of his first acts is to send her lingerie with creepy notes. He proceeds to kill off all her friends one by one and makes harassing phone calls. | |
