A 57-year-old Adell man previously convicted of hosting bizarre vampire parties is facing new charges after allegedly going into a drunken rage inside his home and threatening to cut off his girlfriend’s head and place it on a stick in front of his mother’s house.

Phillip K. Buck was charged with one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct, domestic abuse, following the alleged incident, according to a criminal complaint filed Dec. 8.

The complaint alleges Buck began throwing chairs and smashing items inside his home after accusing his girlfriend of cheating on him.

Buck’s mother and girlfriend, who both live there, barricaded themselves in other rooms during the episode, which lasted several hours.

Following his arrest, Buck made threats to authorities to kill his mother and girlfriend following his release from jail.

If convicted, he faces up to 90 days in jail.

Buck’s criminal history includes serving time in prison beginning in the late ‘90s for hosting a series of drinking parties with minors that led to sex, ritualistic self-mutilation and drinking of blood, in what the judge in this case described as a “bizarre funhouse.”

During trial, juvenile girls testified that he cut them with a razor or encouraged them to cut themselves, then sucked their blood. Others were tied to a bed and whipped while onlookers danced.

The case prompted then Democratic state Sen. Jim Baumgart from Sheboygan to propose a bill penalizing anyone who entices juveniles to harm themselves by cutting their flesh.

Buck was also sentenced to jail in 2007 for threatening to kill his mother because she had her cats fixed. Buck told his mother he would make her watch him kill the cats.
