Sprint 3: Trouble with Trilogies

Hello!

We begin our third sprint, and as such I need to determine what I want to get done this time!

Rules to successfully survive the last chapter of a horror movie trilogy:

• 1. "You've got a killer who’s gonna be superhuman. Stabbing him won’t work, shooting him won’t work. Basically in the third one, you gotta cryogenically freeze his head, decapitate him, or blow him up."
• 2. "Anyone, including the main character, can die. This means you, Sid."
• 3. "The past will come back to bite you in the ass. Whatever you think you know about the past, forget it. The past is not at rest! Any sins you think were committed in the past are about to break out and destroy you."
