The scene opens with a long creepy hallway with debri laying all over the place and large metal doors that look as if the have not been taken care of for a long time as the camera pans around blood red smoke starts to fill the hallway. Then we hear a large crash as the camera pans around we see a figure standing at the end of the hallway and the figure is holding what looks like an ax. As the figure starts to walk towards the camera as he gets closer and closer the figure swings the ax and starts to smash the glass in the doors when the figure gets closer to the camera the blood red smoke fills the whole hallway when the smoke starts to disappear the figure is gone but there are a pile of crime scene photos as the camera pans in close we see a title on the photos Ax murder photos June 9,1912.

We start to hear what sounds like men and women screaming as the camera pans around and we again see the figure standing in a doorway of a room as the camera zooms in and we can see a name above the door Angelus Payne. As we walk in to the room we see a large portrait hanging on the wall as the camera zooms in on the portrait we can read a name Henry Moore 1912 as the camera pans around the room the figure has his back towards the camera and we can see picture of the ax murder house and all the people that were killed there that fateful June 9,1912.

Reaper-"Welcome let me interduce myself I am the Reaper of souls the bringer of death the follower of past and the present I am Angelus Payne let me help you all to understand who and what I am."

Angelus waves us to a large projecter and a screen as the camera pans around a movie begins to play. Title of the movie is Ax murder and the audience begins to watch this movie.

It was a warm evening in southwestern Iowa and the town of Villisca stirred quietly in the gloom of the setting sun. The dinner hour had long since passed and many residents escaped to the cool of the front porch after the heat of the day started to settle. Stores locked up for the evening and lights began to appear in the windows of homes along the darkening streets. At the Presbyterian Church, music filtered to the street outside, along with laughter and polite applause. The Children's Day Program came to an end around 9:30 p.m. and soon the parishioners began trickling out into the street, heading home for the night. Sarah Moore, who had coordinated the program, gathered her family around her as they started walking home. She was joined by her husband Josiah, known popularly in town as J.B., and her children, Herman, Catherine, Boyd and Paul. Two young girls, friends of the Moore children who had also been in the evening's program, Lena and Ina Stillinger, came home with the Moore's to spend the night.

The following morning, June 10, Mary Peckham, the Moore's next door neighbor, stepped out of the back door of her home to hang some laundry on the line. As Mary worked, some times passed and she realized that not only had the Moore's not been outside to start their own chores that morning but that the house itself seemed unusually still. This was very strange as J.B. Moore always left early for work and Sarah was always up at dawn to start breakfast and the day's work. The Moore house was full of young children and so the morning hours were always loud and boisterous. Could the Moore's be sick? Mary waited for a few more minutes and then approached the house and knocked on the door. It was still eerily quiet inside. She waited for a few moments and then knocked again. Once more, there was no answer and so she tried to open the door, thinking that she could poke her head inside and call for Sarah. She pulled on the door handle though and found that it was locked from the inside.

Mary did go out to the small barn behind the Moore house and let the chickens out into the yard. She felt it was the least she could do to help Sarah, who she was convinced must be under the weather. After she let out the chickens, Mary went back into her own house but the more she thought about the silent home next door, the more that she worried. Finally, when she could stand it no more, she placed a telephone call to J.B.'s brother, Ross Moore, and he promised to come over as soon as he could. This was the first step in what would turn out to be one of the most bungled criminal investigations of the era.

When Ross Moore arrived at the home of his brother, he was met by Mary Peckham, who had continued to try and raise someone in the neighboring home. Ross tried the door himself and then leaned up to peer into a bedroom window. It was too dark to see anything, so he returned to the door, banging on it and shouting for his brother and sister-in-law. There was still no answer, so he produced his own set of keys and looked through the ring until he found one that opened the front door. As he pushed open the door, Moore stepped into the parlor with Mary Peckham behind him. Moore looked around, seeing no one in the kitchen. He called out but there was no answer. On the opposite side of the parlor was a doorway that went into one of the children's bedrooms. He carefully opened the door and looked into the room. He nearly cried out when he saw two bloody bodies on the bed and dark stains on the sheets. Moore never even looked to see who was lying there. He ran back to the porch and shouted for Mary Peckham to call the sheriff --- someone had been murdered!

The City Marshall, Hank Horton, arrived a short time later and searched the house. The two bodies in the downstairs bedroom were Lena Stillinger, age 12, and her sister, Ina, age 8. The girls were houseguests of the Moore children. They had come home with them after the church program the night before. The remaining members of the Moore family were found in the upstairs bedrooms. Every person in the house had been brutally murdered, their skulls crushed with an ax. The victims included Josiah Moore, age 43; Sarah Montgomery Moore, age 44; Herman, age 11; Catherine, age 10; Boyd, age 7; Paul, age 5; and the Stillinger sisters. In short, investigators in rural areas like this simply did not see crimes of this magnitude in 1912. In spite of this, the investigators did manage to make some notes of the scene or all of the clues would have been completely lost. As it was though, any evidence left in the house was likely destroyed.
Thanks to this, the murders remain unsolved to this day.

Reaper-"So you all can see that my little town has had some horrible history but the funniest thing to this sad tail is that I'm a direct decendent of the man that was excused of this horrible crime. The only different between me and my great grandfather I understand that I'm the Reaper of souls and the bringer of death. So please watch more there is so much more that you to understand before you leave."

Henry Moore (no relation to the family) was perhaps the most likely suspect in the "drifter" category. who was no relation to the murdered family. Moore was actually convicted of ax murders a short time after the events in Villisca. Some believe that he was responsible for a bloody spree of murder that wreaked havoc across the Midwest and included the murders of the Moore family and Stillinger girls in Iowa. Moore was prosecuted in December 1912 for the murder of his mother and maternal grandmother in Columbia, Missouri. He had slaughtered both of his victims with an ax and while this was horrific enough, it was just the final act in a bloody rampage that may have spanned 18 months, five states and more than 20 murders. It is thought that the Villisca murders were what finally put federal authorities on Moore's trail.

The discovery of the killing spree might never have been realized if authorities in Villisca had not requested federal assistance in the solution of their local massacre in June 1912. The police had the savaged bodies of the Moore's and the Stillinger girls but had no clues or direction for their investigation. A federal officer, M.W. McClaughry, was assigned to the case and his investigation revealed that the Villisca murders were not unique. Nine months before, in September 1911, a similar massacre had occurred in Colorado Springs, taking the lives of H.C. Wayne, his wife and child, and Mrs. A.J. Burnham and her two children. A month later, in October, another massacre claimed the lives of the Dewson family in Monmouth, Illinois and then a little more than a week later, the five members of the Showman family of Ellsworth, Kansas were also murdered in their beds. In every case, the killer had broken into their homes late at night and had killed everyone with an ax.

On June 5, 1912 --- just days before the carnage in Villisca --- Rollin Hudson and his wife were murdered in Paola, Kansas. The murders were carried out in the same way as the earlier crimes, and just as would occur a short time later in Villisca. McClaughry was convinced that a transient maniac was responsible for all of the murders. And while he was a hard-working investigator, it would be coincidence and good luck that would point him in the direction of Henry Moore. McClaughry's father was the warden of the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth and was a man with many contacts within the prison system. When he heard about the case of Henry Moore, who was serving a life sentence in Missouri for the December 1912 murders of his mother and grandmother, he informed his son.

The movie stops playing as the camera pans around the room Angelus has disappeared out of his room as the camera man and the camera start to leave the room the blood red smoke starts to fill the hallway again the camera heads towards the front doors of this build but as they get to the main doors their is a chain and a lock locking the only way out. As the camera pans around we can see Angelus standing at the top of the stairs of the main entrance.
