Mary Jacobson (Krista Bridges) was a plot-twist villainess from the 2012 thriller, House at the End of the Street. She was the mother of Ryan Jacobson (the film's main villain).
Mary and her husband, John Jacobson, were originally introduced as having been killed by Ryan's sister, Carrie-Anne. According to Ryan, Carrie-Anne was accidentally injured when she fell off a swing while Ryan was supposed to be tending to her, and that the brain damage she suffered caused her to become extremely aggressive. An additional claim had Carrie-Anne killing Mary and John and then disappearing in the forest.
Carrie-Anne appeared to be spotted by Elissa Cassidy (the film's main protagonist), but she was revealed to be a waitress named Peggy Jones, who was abducted by Ryan and dressed as Carrie-Anne. In addition, the true details were revealed: Carrie-Anne actually died after falling from the swing, and it was also revealed that Mary and John were abusive parents, as well as drug addicts. Both parents were high on drugs on the day of their daughter's death, meaning that they couldn't hear Ryan's cries after his sister's accident. Mary and John blamed Ryan for Carrie-Anne's death and constantly abused him, and in a flashback shown in the very last scene in the film, the evil Mary dressed Ryan as a girl and referred to him as Carrie-Anne, and later slapped Ryan when he said he wasn't his sister. Ryan was actually the one who killed Mary and John four years prior to the film's events, beating them to death with a hammer.
