To my dedicated fans, I apologize once again for cancelled this beloved and long saga. It’s just that the weight of responsibility has grown too much on me, and I must move on. However, I will NEVER leave my friends unsatisfied. Therefore, here is exactly what would have happened, trilogy by trilogy, season by season, had I continued after Screaming Wars Season 2.
The Screaming Wars trilogy[]
Season 3[]
Beverly survives Kirby’s attack, since Tyler intervenes when Kirby is about to finish Beverly off and kills Kirby. Back at LOGS HQ, Joseph explains to Akanthus that he knows his identity, is far more heavily armed and numerous than LOGS, and has been around for decades. Akanthus realizes that LOGS is falling apart, but he could have a last act of revenge with Eden’s Gate. In exchange for Eden’s Gate not slaughtering all of the Tarvenders, Joseph demands that John be given back to him, and he wants Gasface so they can help Faith experiment with the Bliss. Akanthus agrees in exchange for borrowing the Solider (Jacob) for his last attacks on Surfack, seeking to get as much damage done as possible on them, knowing that Eden’s Gate will ultimately come into conflict with Surfack again.
Joseph also claims to Akanthus that he is God’s Prophet, and has heard from God himself that the Reaping will be begin. He then says that when the time comes, Akanthus is not above “Atonement” Akanthus ignores that remark, and gives Joseph Gasface and the Baptist (John). Joseph and his cult then leave, but not before promising to wipe out Akanthus if Jacob is killed under his command.
During a two-month time jump, Cheryl and Toni marry. After the time jump, Surfack is in the process of tracking down the location of Mount Massive Asylum to finally end to the war with LOGS. After kidnapping Eugene and Ella, Jacob explains that each Herald (secondary leader) has their own “philosophy” in the Cult, and his is “Only the Strongest will survive” and he supports “Culling the Herd” which means slaughtering weak people and let the strong survive. Jacob has Ella run through some “tests” which involve shooting hallucinations of people. After she completes this, Jacob says that Ella is “his” but lets her go, claiming that her time will come soon.
Eugene is rescued by Selina (Catwoman), who has finally started to put aside her thievery. Ella doesn’t trust her and the two argue for most of the season. Eventually, Ella tells Selina that it doesn’t matter Eugene is her brother, because he’s her detached bother. Furiously, Selina reveals that she lost her real brother when she was a teenager, and became desperate for Eugene after finding out she was his half-sister. That was from her father, who was a veteran in the army, but convicted of raping a female civilian, revealed to be Eugene’s mother. Selina asks Ella how she feels if “You lose your brother, and then suddenly find out you have another?” Eventually, Ella trusts Selina and she officially joins Surfack.
Akanthus is revealed to be NATHAN DORIE. His coma at Gasface’s lair was accidental, and only happened because he failed to put on his gas mask in time. Nathan reveals that his parents, who were criminals, were gunned down in front of him when he was a children. Furious, Nathan dedicated his life to destroying the law, and was the main founder of Tarvender/LOGS to promote this. Oliver is the one who finds out his identity, and is killed by Nathan. This makes all of the other Surfacks vow to take him down.
Eventually, Surfack finally tracks down Mount Massive Asylum, where they sneak inside and confront Turk. After Cheryl threatens to drop off of the roof, Turk accidently tells them that there is a self-destruct button, which he himself installed after being secretly pressured by John while he was in custody here. As the self-destruct counts down, some LOGS members escape, and Nathan has a final battle with Toni, Beverly and Thea, who is intent on killing him to avenge Oliver, all at once. Beverly is killed and Toni has her right arm chopped off, but Thea is finally able to kill Nathan by shoving an arrow down his throat. The rest of Surfack escapes as the Asylum explodes.
LOGS is finally defeated and Surfack officially retires. Tyler is the most eager considering Beverly’s death. However, Eden’s Gate, as payment for getting John back and Gasface, breaks into Cottonmouth’s prison and busts him out. Cottonmouth vows that, although it will take time, he will return one day to enact his final revenge on Surfack. We open on 2 years later, where Surfack is having a reunion at a place called “Hope County” As they talk and chat together, the bar they are in is suddenly swarmed by Eden’s Gate. Cliffhanger ending.
The Screaming Strangers[]
Season 1[]
The trilogy is about a trio of masked strangers (who were among the killers escaping from Mount Massive explosion) going to isolated houses and stalking the residents there. This season takes place in 1990, where a younger Kevin Andrews (future Surfack leader) and his family are hanging out. This is when Fisk was just starting to grow up and adopt Tarvender. One of their first assignments, was, in fact, to wipe out Kevin and his family. They are at a vacation home with some of his old friends, including a younger BILL DANVERS from Screamgirl.
The masked strangers are the three killers from The Strangers: Pin-Up Girl, The Man in the Mask, and Dollface. They cut off electricity to Kevin’s house and stalk his family and friends for fun. Eventually, everyone is killed except for Kevin and Bill, who escape. All three of the killers also survive. Kevin changes his last name and goes into hiding. He knows that the time isn’t right to stand up to Tarvender, and he’s traumatized from everything that’s happened. Bill also moves away, but helps comfort Kevin first.
Decades later, Kevin is brought to the rehab center in Screaming Wars season 2, where we find out he was narrating his story to Oliver. He tells him about how he never lost hope after this and inspires him (which is how he inspired Oliver back then). The season ends with Kevin smiling to the audience.
Season 2[]
Season 2 takes place with the three masked Strangers from 1990, now veteran killers for LOGS. Shortly after Joseph met Nathan, Nathan lets him borrow Pin-Up Girl, The Man in the Mask, and Dollface for a mission. They are assigned by Faith, who explains to them that the cult has been developing a powerful influence in Hope County. John, an expert lawyer, has been buying and taking land legally and building up influence. He’s even bought the radio station there, and used his legal skills to defend the Project. It’s been a VERY slow and cautious process, but Eden’s Gate members have riled up to the hundreds, close to thousands.
Faith explains that she is the most compassionate to sinners and Jacob is trying to teach her be less tolerable. Therefore, she assigned the Strangers to assassinate Mary May Fairgrove. Mary is one of several people who have been organization a local militia against the Cult, called “The Resistance” The Strangers spend some time having to track Mary down, killing and torturing people, and the Man in the Mask shows more emotion to doing this than Dollface and Pin-Up Girl.
Meanwhile, Mary is investigating the cult to find her brother, who was abducted months ago. We also learn she’s the leader of the resistance due to her father resisting the Cult and being killed. Eventually, they track Mary down, and it is revealed that the Man in the Mask is actually Devin Fairgrove, Mary’s brother. Devin joined the Cult, convinced and enthralled by Joseph’s teachings, and he tells Mary that he personally executed their father. Mary, shocked and appalled, shoots Devin dead, and is attacked by Dollface and Pin-Up Girl.
Mary is nearly killed, but saved by Joey Hudson, a deputy of Hope County and a resistance member. Dollface and Pin-Up Girl, unable to find her again, are criticized for their failure and sent back to LOGS by Faith. Mary, meanwhile, begins to prepare for war with the Cult, as Joseph instructs his followers that “the Reaping” is coming.
Season 3[]
Season 3 reveals that Dollface and Pin-Up Girl were amongst the escapees at the asylum explosion. They went back to work for Eden’s Gate, seeing not much else to go. In Hope County, they are assigned by John, who reminds them to make up for their last failure. to exterminate a family called “the Black Family” defying Eden’s Gate. The final girl is Jess Black, who has experience with hunting animals and is an expert with a hunting bow.
She has a funny and sarcastic brother, Noah, her parents, grandparents, cousin, and an uncle. The three Strangers show up at their home at night and kill Jess’ entire family. Jess goes a rampage against Dollface and Pin-Up Girl, and brutally kills them, mutilating their bodies. She then takes her hunting bow and vows to kill “every Peggie (nickname for Project at Eden’s Gate members) I see until I die” We have a montage of Jess killing Cult members until she is captured by Jacob. Cliffhanger.
Liberation of Hope County[]
Season 1[]
Hudson and the Sheriff’s department, led by Sheriff Whitehorse and US Marshal Cameron Burke, arrive in Hope County to arrest Joseph Seed. There’s finally been enough evidence to found a federal arrest warrant on Joseph. Against Joseph’s warnings, Burke arrests him, only for the Cult to swarm them. Burke, Whitehorse and most of the task force are killed. Hudson survives and escapes with help from Richard “Dutch” Roosevelt, a leader of the resistance hiding out in a bunker, where she is joined by Surfack.
It is shown that most of Surfack managed to escape the ambush, but Toni and Ella were captured, and Tyler is killed when John (who was leading the capture party) launches an RPG at his car. Dutch explains to everyone that the Cult has interpreted the attempt to arrest Joseph as a fulfillment of his prophesies. Believing that the end of the world (The Collapse) is now upon them, they have begun “The Reaping”, a concentrated effort to purge Hope County of sinners and kidnap people to their bunkers. Hope County has three regions: Whitetail Mountains (Jacob’s territory), Henbane River (Faith and Gasface’s territory) and Holland Valley (John’s territory).
Since all access in and out of the county, including all phone lines, have been cut off by the Cult, Dutch has the Surfacks join the Resistance and help Liberate Hope County from the Cult and get their friends back. Eugene and Selina go to the Whitetail Mountains to help the Resistance there, Scott and Hudson to Henbane River, and Cheryl goes to the Holland Valley to help the Resistance there and rescue Toni from John.
This season focuses on Holland Valley, with the war against John. Cheryl helps Mary and the resistance there liberate several Cult Outposts, disrupt their supply lines, and rescue many hostages, including expert pilot Nick Rye. Eventually, Cheryl gets captured by John, who demands she embrace “The Power of Yes” He explains that his philosophy to atonement is “cleansing” a sinner with water, then carving their sin (in Cheryl’s case, pride) onto their skin, and then brutally cutting off said skin.
Cheryl escapes, but fails to take Toni with her. Toni also resists John’s efforts to convert her. Angered, John takes over the town of Fall’s End, the Resistance HQ there, and forces Cheryl to confront him there. He cuts off part of Cheryl’s skin on her arm after carving “Pride” After he’s finished, the Resistance counter attacks, forcing John to flee on his personal plane. Nick gets into an aerial dogfight with John and shoots him down, allowing a furious Cheryl to confront John and the ground and defeat him.
As he dies, John remarks that Cheryl will not save anyone and asserts that Joseph is right. Cheryl and the Resistance raid John’s bunker, where she rescues Toni and the other captive survivors, and destroys the bunker. Cheryl then checks on how the Resistance is doing in the Whitetail Mountains (all three seasons are taking place simultaneously).
Season 2[]
Season 2 focuses on the Whitetail Mountains and the war against Jacob. The Whitetail Militia, led by Nancy Carter, is at war against Jacob, who holds Ella captive. Eugene and Selina arrive there and help the militia fight back against Jacob. During the fight, Eugene spares a young Cult girl, named Charlie, who is about 8 years old. Ella is subject to experiments from Jacob, and the hallucinations of people that she killed are revealed to be Resistance soldiers. Eugene and Selina eventually find Ella inside a hotel Jacob uses as a torture chamber.
However, Eugene is then shot and killed by the same girl that he spared from before, Charlie. Ella, in a grief fueled rage, shoots and kills Charlie on the spot. Afterwards, Selina and Ella befriend Jess and the trio join forces. Eventually, Jacob’s plan is revealed. As part of the Cult’s training, Jacob mentally conditions cult recruits with The Platters' song "Only You (And You Alone)", which he uses to trigger an altered state of consciousness in the recruits and carry out his commands. Jacob has subjected Ella back in Screaming Wars season 3 to the same conditioning and successfully breaks her.
Also, during the seasons, Turk, taking advantage of the chaos and war, tries to rob several abandoned houses, only to be intercepted each time and beat up by the Surfacks in each region. Eventually, once the war is over, Turk joins up with Cottonmouth, who is unaware that he stole his car back in Screaming Wars Season 1. Also, Turk is offered the chance to join Eden's Gate in the Bliss, but is furiously rejected after he accidently burns down Il'Gynoth the talking tree in a Bliss influenced state.
After Jacob plays “Only You” for Ella, he has her assassinate Nancy in order to cripple the Resistance. The brainwashing is temporary, and since Ella accomplished her goal, She's freed unless someone plays "Only You" again. The Militia acknowledge Jacob is responsible, not Ella. Ella and Selina then confront Jacob, who is sniping at the Militia with his Cult, in the Mountains, and Jess shoots him twice with arrows. A defeated Jacob reflects on how empires rise and fall, and predicts that America will suffer the same fate if it is not prepared (even though it's not an empire). He steps off the Mountain and falls into a river, presumably dead. Ella, Jess and Selina then check on the Holland Valley.
Season 3[]
Season 3 focuses on Faith’s storyline and the final confrontation with Joseph Seed. Scott and Joey go there and finds the Cougars, a Resistance faction, in the Hope County Jail. It is explained to them that the hallucinatory effects of Bliss puts its victims in a trance-like state and staying under its influence for too long makes them vulnerable to Faith's hypnotic manipulation. Those who refuse to willingly submit to Faith are transformed into “Angels”, hypnotized people that dress up like hospital patients and don’t feel pain. Headshots are necessary to kill them, like Zombies.
During the war, Scott destroys a statue of Joseph with a rocket launcher, which angers Joseph and causes him to punish Faith by having Gasface beat her brutally. Scott repeatedly encounters Faith, who reveals that she was neglected and abused as a child and joined Eden’s Gate because she felt like she had nowhere else to go. Scott tries convincing her to come, but Faith reveals that Charlie, the little girl Ella brutally killed, was her younger sister. She insists that the world is diseased, corrupt, and beyond saving, while Scott tries to convince her that life is worth living here and life with Joseph isn’t a paradise.
Faith also reveals that Scott is actually her older brother, with Scott having been orphanage a young age. Meanwhile, Gasface is revealed to be Dennis Wildman, a chemist whose face was disfigured by a chemical explosion. He has been obsessed with chemicals and gasses ever since, and he’s been improving the Bliss to the point where Gas Masks don’t help. Eventually, Scott manages to rescue Hudson from the Bliss, but she is hypnotized by Faith, as she hasn’t been fully cured.
When left unguarded, Hudson opens the jail to Eden’s Gate and, at Dennis’ command, commits suicide in front of Scott and Faith, who is dismayed by Dennis’ action, as people who are brought into the Bliss are cult members now. The Resistance suffers heavy losses repelling the Cult, and Scott falls into the Bliss again, and is confronted by Faith AND Dennis. Faith, having “magical powers” in the Bliss, nearly kills Scott, who does a speech begging her to realize Joseph is abusing her, and his prophecies are wrong.
Faith is moved and successfully turns on Dennis, who attacks them both. Working together, Faith and Scott kill Dennis. Faith is brought to the jail and imprisoned, while Scott visits her regularly. Joseph is furious about the deaths of all his family (unaware Faith is alive) and calls out the Resistance for a final confrontation at his personal church. The Resistance and Surfack arrive and Joseph throws everything the Cult has left has at them, but they are defeated.
Joseph is undeterred, and explains to his enemies that the “seals” leading to the Collapse are the deaths of his family and prepares for the wrath of God, but it doesn’t come. Scott tells him Faith is alive and defected, making Joseph realize he has failed. At that moment, he is assassinated by a sniper, revealed to be Jacob. Flashbacks reveal that Cult members rescued him at the River and brought him to safety. Now, Jacob has betrayed Joseph knowing that his prophies are untrue, and his new employer is revealed to be Cottonmouth (Jacob would have had more fleshed out motives, but there wasn't time for that).
A year later, Surfack marks the end of Eden’s Gate by having a reunion, and Mary, Dutch, Faith (who has been pardoned for her actions) and Jess are present for the celebration. However, gas seeps into the chamber and knocks everyone out. Cottonmouth, Jacob and Turk appear and kidnap everyone, sending them all to Shallow Grove Island, an isolated place. Cottonmouth greets Surfack as they wake up, and reveals a baseball bat, before revealing he’s going to do a Negan and pick who dies. However, Cottonmouth choice is actually shown, and it’s Selina, who is beaten to death in front of the entire group.
The Screaming Game[]
Picking up right where the last trilogy left off, the story focuses on Cottonmouth’s final stand. After Selina is killed, Ella punches Cottonmouth out of anger, prompting Cottonmouth to also murder Toni, much to Cheryl’s distress. All the Surfacks are placed out in the woods, and Cottonmouth explains that he plans to have “The Hunger Games” in which all of his remaining minions and killers will hunt them down, and he himself will be in this hunting party, as well as Jacob.
Jacob has joined Cottonmouth because he sees a way of making people strong by having them go through a game in which they kill each other, and the sole survivor is let go. This is an exception though. Among the people hunting them is a man named Michael Myers, who was broken out of the jail Cottonmouth was in and taken by him. Michael is one of the most dangerous serial killers in the country, although not supernatural like the films, he is still quite durable.
Most of the Surfacks are killed off during the games, including Mary and Dutch. Jess and Jacob kill each other during a confrontation together. During this time, Ella and Cheryl have an emotional conversation about Toni, and Ella apoligzes. Cheryl forgives her. Ella also apologizes to Faith about Charlie, saying that she shouldn't shot her. Eventually, Scott and Ella set up a trap for Michael which causes him to be decapitated. Turk also finally gets fed up with being beaten up and decides to join Surfack in hopes of finally getting out of punishment. Since he never killed or seriously hurt anybody, they take his offer. Turk guides them to a way out, but are intercepted by Cottonmouth himself.
Cottonmouth has a final battle with Scott, Ella, Cheryl, Faith and Turk. In a VERY ironic twist, Turk, who Cottonmouth always considered useless, delivers the final blow against Cottonmouth. The final blow is Turk sending and anvil falling onto Cottonmouth, crushing his face/jaw in an ironic death. Scott, Ella, Cheryl, Faith and Turk are the final five survivors. They depart on Cottonmouth’s boat and have a happy ending. The End.
