* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The Axeman is a nameless lunatic who apparently lives in the woods, killing anyone who ventures into them for no reason at all except maybe ForTheEvulz. He does not appear to care about the bank robbers' money, but his tidy appearance, modern clothing, and ability to converse normally with the sheriff shows that he is not just some demented, territorial MountainMan. The protagonists tell a campfire story about a police detective whose family was slaughtered by a serial killer, but it is unclear if the Axeman was the detective or the killer, or if the story is even true.

A group of campers go to Cutter's Creek for a weekend of fun. There's one problem, though: The local legends of a [[AxCrazy murderous]] [[AnAxeToGrind axeman]] haunting the creek are true. Thus, bodies start piling up.
