YMMV / The Toadman Saga

• Complete Monster:
  • Keith "Toadman" Lesler was a Serial Killer who was executed for murdering dozens of children. On the brink of death, the Shadowbeast offers him the opportunity to return every 30 years. In the first part, he targets Abram Linfeld, beheading his two friends Donny and Angie and tying their heads to his waist. He then attacks Abram, chopping off his leg, the former only surviving thanks to a crate of fireworks. In the second part, a policeman, Tyler Smith, comes to investigate the murders. When he and local beat cop Doyle Wheeler head down to the mine shaft, Doyle, under the influence of the Shadowbeast, attacks Tyler. When this fails, The Toadman beheads Doyle, and then forces Tyler to free the Shadowbeast.
  • The Shadowbeast himself is an ancient alien who came to Earth and brought upon chaos and havoc, viewing himself as a god. Having been sealed away after murdering and mutilating children, the Shadowbeast made a deal with Keith "Toadman" Lesler to be resurrected every 30 years to act as his servant. Responsible for Keith's murders and possessions, the Shadowbeast manipulates those into releasing him from his prison, and when one person, Doyle, refused, he summons Keith to kill him, forcing his friend Tyler to free him and doom the world.
