  • Complete Monster: Leonard Wright is a teacher at Lincoln High School, as well as the psychotic Serial Killer who is targeting the school. Harboring an ephebophilic crush on one of his students, Chelsea Blythe, he attempts to express his "love" for Chelsea by killing her rivals in the student body presidential race. To this end he mercilessly slaughters students and teachers alike, stabbing, strangling, burning, crushing, and dismembering his victims. To throw suspicion off himself, he fakes his death, killing his own dog—the only thing he ever loved—in the process. He frames another teacher for the homicides, hanging him and making it look like a suicide, before forcing the principal at knifepoint to declare Chelsea the winner of the election. Killing two cops, he kidnaps Chelsea's rival Joanna Bolen and lures Chelsea to the school basement, where he demands that Chelsea kill Joanna to "prove her love". When Chelsea rebuffs him, he immediately murders her, demonstrating that his warped concept of love was simply obsession. An animalistic and self-centered killer with over a dozen victims to his name, he darkens the tone of this horror-comedy with his unhinged inhumanity.
