Background
Herman and his wife purchased the campground that was Camp Rolling Hills after Angela Baker massacred several campers and counselors in order to quickly make a lot of money by running a knock-off camp that would receive government funding and wealthy sponsors. Keeping expenditures limited, they hired only one additional counselor, Officer Barney Whitmore.
Films
Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland
He serves as on of the tertiary antagonists of the film alongside his wife Lilly Miranda. Herman and Lilly greeted their campers and gave an interview with TV reporter Tawny Richards. Afterwards, the Mirandas gave the kids an information on the camp and Herman flirted with Jan Hernandez. After the kids settled into their cabins, Herman, Lilly, and Barney registered them and then split them into three groups to camp out in. Herman took his group (Angela Baker disguised as Maria Nicastro, Jan, Peter Doyle, and Snowboy), and headed into the woods.
Herman and his group set up camp and then he sent Angela, Peter, and Snowboy fishing while he stayed behind with Jan. They started having sex, but were interrupted when Angela returned. Herman hurried out of his tent to talk her into keeping quiet about it, but she surprised him by attacking him with a stick. She murdered him by jamming it through his mouth and throat.
Character
