Biography[]
Brooke Thompson was a teenager living in Los Angeles, California in the early 1980s. Having met several other youths her age, she agreed to go to Camp Redwood to do summer work as a camp counselor. Before leaving L.A., Brooke survived a harrowing home invasion by Satanic serial killer, Richard Ramirez. [1]
It is revealed that prior to the series, Brooke was engaged to a man named Joseph Cavanaugh who launched into a jealous rage on their wedding day thinking Brooke had sex with his friend, Sam. Joseph promptly shot both Sam and Brooke's father before shooting himself. [2] Sam is revealed to be Montana's brother who blames Brooke for his death. Due to this, she enlists Ramirez to kill Brooke in revenge. [3]
Brooke later spotted Ray Powell outside, having been missing since he left to get help. After a moment where they bond personally while hiding from jingles, Brooke loses her virginity to Ray but is mortified to learn he is a ghost when the pair spot his decapitated head in a fridge. Montana reveals her true motive and attacks Brooke who eventually kills Montana in self-defense just as the children pull up on a bus for summer camp, leaving Brooke as the only surviving counselor.
