On Halloween night of 2017, Art spots two friends, Tara and Dawn, drunkenly leave a party & follows them to a pizzeria. There, he stares menacingly at the two and makes advances at Tara, which unnerve her before Art gets kicked out by the restaurant owner for smearing feces over the bathroom walls. The girls leave the pizzeria to discover that one of Dawn's car tires has been slashed. Meanwhile, Art returns to the pizzeria, killing and mutilating two workers with a cleaver
Art eventually gets into Dawn's car and attacks her before kidnapping her; he would also chase down Tara before eventually subduing her with a sedative
Tara awakens, bound to a chair inside a derelict warehouse to see Art has Dawn suspended upside-down. Taking a hacksaw, Art forces Tara to watch as he saws Dawn in half vertically. After posing for several pictures with Dawn's camera in front of her corpse, Art hunts down Tara but she strikes him with a 2x4; after recovering, Art strikes Tara and goes to get some bullets before he shoots her in the head repeatedly. A nearby homeless woman witnesses this and seeks out help, only to be dismissed. Art attacks a pest controller named Mike working nearby with a hammer, knocking him unconscious. The homeless woman soon discovers Art cradling her doll, and in a plea for the return of her "child", attempts to show motherly compassion to Art by cradling him. This however fails as Art scalps and tears off the woman's breasts
