Biography[]
Kirk first appeared when Addie comes to his house asking his sister Gracie and mother for some hay for her horse. He gets scolded for his cruelty by keeping a rabbit in an animal trap and refusing to set it free. His sister and mother order him to release it as he was leaving with his dirt bike in his truck to go motorcycling with his friends. He continued to refuse and kissed his mother goodbye parting with the words that in the wild "it is kill or be killed."
He is next seen with his three friends, Red, Jody, and Luke, motorcycling where they come across The Creeper truck. They investigated it and read the license plate "BEATNGU." This is where they discuss knowing about the Creeper as just an urban legend of a cannibal man driving around this truck and ate people. Their curiosity becomes their undoing as Red urinates on the grill of the truck and the door opened to reveal the corpses wrapped up in sheets and covered in blood and/or rotting. The door's spikes trigger, not injuring anyone, before the doors close itself. The boys, now being terrified attempt to get away. However, the spear from the exhaust pipe impales and hooks onto Kirk's leg and reels him back to the truck. The other boys try to figure out how to rescue him, however, Red runs away and abandons him. Meanwhile Luke and Jody, were going to resort with just pulling the spear out but the Creeper shows up on top of the truck. Luke and Jody attempt to run away but the Creeper tosses his spear and aims perfectly as the two boys get skewered together on a nearby tree, dying instantly. The Creeper smells the urine on his truck and gets angry, the Creeper captures Red before he was able to yell for help.
Kirk is last seen when Addie also gets captured and put into the Creeper's truck. She finds Kirk tied up as well and they both try to figure out how to escape the truck. He warns her of the back door's booby trap. With his leg still injured, he crawls over to the passenger door for an escape attempt. However, the driver's seat has a hole on the side to reveal a sharp rod as a trap which shoots out and impales Kirk in his head, instantly killing him, horribly witnessed by Addie. When the Creeper returned to the truck he discovers Kirk's dead body falling into his booby trap.
It is unknown if the Creeper continued to harvest from Kirk or if he did put Kirk's body up in his new House of Pain in the abandoned meat factory with the rest of his victims.
