Storymatic cards were person in love and movie director for one of the characters, and end of the relationship and hiding spot is discovered for things that must appear in story.
I like the idea of this one but it’s botched and poorly written. You’re welcome?
It was a well-known fact that Vince Waggoner was in love with Robin Rose. When they met, she immediately became his primary muse. He cast her in five films in a row as the leading lady, claiming that the roles were written with her in mind. They were married quickly. People often spoke of how he worshipped the ground she walked on, gave her everything she could ever want.
They also whispered of her many infidelities.
It was a tabloid feeding frenzy when their marriage inevitably fell apart. He took a short break from directing, and a handful of years passed where people thought his career was over. Far from it – he emerged, revealing he had been painstakingly writing a story for a series of films. Films that he wanted to film back-to-back. He threw himself into his work with reckless abandon. There were a whopping seven films in total, set in the same universe with cameos from each of the other films, but completely unrelated except for their thematic ties.
It became immediately obvious that Robin Rose was still his muse. Each leading actress that he chose bore striking similarities to her. Similar face shapes, the same pale skin tone and wide doe eyes. A few were familiar household names, but many of them were new. It was no secret that he was going for a particular look. The movies were set to be released yearly.
The disappearances started after the third release.
Miss Lane was a tragedy. She had been a fresh face in Waggoner’s first film without Robin Rose, and with the success of that, her star had risen. She was in talks to join a major film franchise when she had disappeared. No one could locate her. She hadn’t mentioned leaving to anyone, did not reach out to any of her family or friends. Her car was found abandoned in a parking garage, her phone still inside. She had made no monetary withdrawals and hadn’t used any of her cards since her disappearance.
It was strange and sad and many people speculated what could have happened.
But it wasn’t until Candy Zacharias disappeared next that people suspected Waggoner. Candy was the lead of the second film, and she disappeared the year after Miss Lane. Still, there wasn’t enough reason to suspect a thing – until the following year, when Francine Queen disappeared.
The cops focused their investigation on Waggoner, but found nothing. He was so harangued by the media and the cops that he finally left the country. After all, he had finished the films, with only the last few remaining in post-production. It was recommended that the remaining actresses beef up their security teams. Still, Michelle Ray managed to escape her bodyguards briefly (supposedly in a discreet attempt to buy some illicit substance) and was never seen again. When warrants were issued allowing the cops to search all of Waggoner’s properties, nothing was found. He proclaimed his innocence in every interview, and eventually tired of the questions so much that he became a recluse.
Time passed. The remaining women didn’t disappear yearly as predicted, but as their security grew lax, they did eventually all disappear. Each time, investigations were made into Waggoner, and each time – nothing.
Eventually, he died of an overdose. It became a strange unsolved Hollywood legend.
Robin Rose died relatively young. A suicide. No one was sure why.
While her estate was being cleared, all seven desiccated corpses were found in her basement.
