Created by screenwriter Joe Augustyn and portrayed by actress Amelia Kinkade in three films between 1988 and 1997, she is a young woman possessed by a demon, and attacks her victims if they enter the property of Hull House.
Angela is commonly identified by her black wedding dress, her seductive, trance-seducing erotic dancing, her disfigured face, burnt flesh caused by obsession of setting various body parts on fire, yellow glowing eyes, jagged teeth, and her deep maniacal voice.
However, in her senior year, she adopted a Goth lifestyle, wearing all black and gaining the reputation of a witch from her classmates.
During those years, on some nights, people claim to see a ghostly figure of a woman in a black dress wandering around Hull House, and it looked like Angela Franklin.
Angela's sister, Melissa (Mouse) Franklin, now an orphan, is sent to St. Rita's Academy, a Catholic boarding school near Hull House.
On Halloween, Shirley and her friends avoid the school dance and decide to throw a party at Hull House.
Angela returns and continues to haunt Hull House in hopes of acquiring more party guests to take to hell.
The two teens vow to keep a vigilant watch on Hull House every Halloween in case unsuspecting teenagers should decide to trespass on the property and become victims of Angela.
In the 2009 remake of the first film, Angela is given the surname Feld, and throws a Halloween party at the abandoned New Orleans mansion once owned by Lady Evangeline Broussard (who had, decades early, unintentionally summoned seven demons banished from Hell, which would have overtaken the world had she not deprived them of a seventh and final host by killing herself).
Angela's party is ended prematurely when the police crash it and send everyone home, with her "business partner" absconding with all the money they had managed to make in the chaos.
After discovering a hidden chamber containing the skeletons of the six original demon hosts, Angela becomes possessed after being bitten by a skull while trying to pry a gold tooth out of it.
