Background[]
As a teenager, Shirley Finnerty was admitted at St. Rita's Academy on disciplinary grounds. Not much is known about her family, but as she was rather a spoiled teen, she likely came from a family of some wealth. At the academy, she frequently violated the rules and regulations which she considered beneath her, and her interests were vested in her male classmates, basically, seducing them to meet her requirements despite having a boyfriend named Rick. During her stay in the academy, she made friends with Terri and Bibi and came to know about the dreaded past of Melissa Franklin and Angela Franklin from Terri. When Halloween arrived, Shirley devised having a party at the location herself, the idea of which was the genesis of an atrocious prank on Melissa involving a ritual to summon Angela Franklin from the Hull House, her plan was almost ruined by Sister Gloria looking for her. She also demonstrated the route to Hull House and passed the map on to Kurt and Johnny. However, due to Father Bob's loose restrictions, she went to score her adventure, during which she then stole Perry's book about demonology and lured the others, including Bibi, Terri, Melissa, Johnny and Kurt to a dreadful journey to the Hull House with her boyfriend Rick, in his car.
Hull House and Possession[]
On reaching the Hull House, Shirley used the rituals in the book to summon to Angela, and it eventually worked, although concealed to her knowledge, waking Angela from dormancy. Shirley soon parted the other party goers to explore the house, excluding Melissa, Rick and her secret invitee, Z-Boy. The trio started to perform a demonic ritual on Melissa and a cat, beginning by spraying the room with an anagramic symbol. Later, she began to chant and recite the demonic verse, which was later revealed to be just a prank played by Shirley to frighten the rest of the group. During their journey back to St. Rita's Academy, she learned that Bibi had removed Suzanne DeLaney's old lipstick from the house, and took it from her. Back her bathroom at the academy, she tried using it, she was assaulted by the presence in the lipstick which took the form of a worm before entering her body and possessing her. Angela then appeared herself and placed her under her control. While possessed, Angela then lured and murdered Rick in front of the other party goers inside the school hall. She was also seen performing an erotic dance with Angela Franklin, only to lure the other partiers to come closer to her, eventually taking a demonic form herself. She eventually located Terri and kissed her, demonizing her and placing her under her control. Along with Angela and a now-possessed Rick they, escorted Melissa to the Hull House to perform another sacrifice. Pursued by Sister Gloria, Father Bob, Rick, Bibi and Perry, Shirley hid at Hull House and eventually and was eventually killed by Sister Gloria and Johnny with the help of water balloons filled with holy water.
