Name and role:
The Maniac is the villain in the horror film being shown at the theater: clearly inspired by Jason from Friday the 13th, a classic of the genre. In the finale, both Daffy and Elmer get sucked into the screen and end up face-to-face with the slasher himself.
Trivia and other appearances:
He's not the only masked, chainsaw-wielding enemy in this storyline. Mr. Hitcher, who appears in Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Summer Vacation, can send shivers down your spine too. And remember: don't mention the bacon!
