History
Farraday is a renowned director of many horror films, which has earned him the title of "the Scariest Man on Earth. He opened a camp called "Fright Camp" so that his fans, including Andrew and Tyler Herman, could experience the scares of his movies in real life.

Soon the scares he had cooked up started to seem too real, with his assistant going too far with some of them. Eventually things got so out of control that he ran away due to guilt.
