Randy the rat
25
Randy the Rat originally began as a mascot costume worn by a performer at the Rat & Cat Theater in the early 1960s, a performer known for being difficult and unpredictable, often clashing with the theater’s puppeteer. One day, during a game of hide-and-seek with a young girl named Mary Schmidt, tensions backstage boiled over, and the performer suffered a fatal accident. In a panic, the puppeteer attempted to cover up what had happened, while another cast member—the actor portraying the cat mascot—witnessed the incident and was later silenced to keep the truth hidden. Authorities were told it was a tragic workplace accident, but Mary had seen everything from her hiding place, an experience that left a lasting mark and haunted her with nightmares for years to come. After his death, the performer’s spirit became bound to the Randy animatronic, confused, angry, and resentful of Mary for witnessing the events that led to his fate. As Randy, he continued to exhibit aggressive, unexplained behavior over the years, including an attack on Mary’s brother in 1962, the destruction of another animatronic named Chester, and the disappearance of a night security guard in 1993, incidents that ultimately contributed to the permanent closure of Candy’s Burgers & Fries.
