The St. Estes Home for Unwanted Children, also known as the St. Estes Reform School, was an orphanage in California. It was destroyed years later in 2020 by former inhabitants Cletus Kasady and Frances Barrison, now known as Carnage and Shriek.
History[]
Cletus Kasady's First Years[]
After killing his abusive grandmother and mother, Cletus Kasady was sent to St. Estes after he failed to kill his abusive father. While there, Cletus was mercilessly beaten by some of the orphans until Frances Barrison, another orphan who possessed a supersonic screech, took pity on him and incapacitated his bullies with her screech. Sometime later Kasady and Barrison formed a romantic bond.[1]
Abduction of Frances Barrison[]
In 1996, Frances was taken into custody by the San Francisco Police Department to be transferred to the Ravencroft Institute due to her sonic powers, much to Cletus' disapproval. She attempted to escape and attacked her escorts, only to be shot in her left eye by then police officer Patrick Mulligan, who came to believe that he had killed her.[1]
Destruction[]

After Cletus escaped his execution by bonding to a newly spawned symbiote called Carnage and freed Frances from Ravencroft, the duo traveled to St. Estes and burned it down before planning a wedding.[1]
