Quoted By:
Harvey Leer, "Ghoul King"
A notorious horror film director and producer. He is known to have cultivated a gruesome image of utter barbarity in his earlier years, encouraging rumours that the horror and gore effects in his slasher films were created by actually torturing and maiming women. Harvey Leer has been recently released from prison, having been incarcerated on numerous charges of sexual abuse, though it appears he managed to shorten his sentence through some form of plea bargain or cooperation arrangement with prosecutors. As part of the terms of his early release, it has been stipulated that an "intimacy coordinator" accompany Harvey Leer in all his interactions with potential female cast members. Perhaps attributable to the shift in audience preferences and dwell time towards short-form mobile social content and streaming video, industry analysts have observed a marked decline in traditional box office revenues, languishing viewership and falling cinemagoing attendance over the course of his imprisonment, though it might just be sheer coincidence.
Harvey Leer, aka King Ghoul, speaks in a nicotine-wracked voice that grates like a handful of ash thrown into an open grave:
-King Ghoul is back, babe. My work has been forgotten. I did more for women in this industry than anyone can remember. Look them in the eye and they never look away. This city owes me; I'll make them remember it. They are going to roll out the red carpets soon enough again. Blood red.
