Story

R.J. is the cameraman for Beverly and a trusty colleague of hers. He follows Beverly when she joins the cult and becomes one of the clowns, taking part in the murders and tortures of other "weaker" individuals. However, R.J frequently questioned the cult's motives and was visibly repulsed by the cult's actions. As such, Beverly Hope deemed him the weakest link in the cult, which Kai Anderson agrees on. They later abduct R.J and tie him to a chair. The cult then each take turns firing nails into R.J's head with a nail gun, until R.J is rendered catatonic and motionless. Kai then solemnly kisses R.J on the head, and fires the fatal blow into R.J's head with the nail gun, killing him.
