First-Time Player: I had a remarkably easy game and I still lost. What am I doing wrong?? [Hans/Happy Trails Horror]

I'm just getting into Final Girl, and this is only my second game (and my first with Hans/Happy Trails Horror).

The setup gave me the secret tunnel to the Boat House, and I immediately got the Speedboat Keys. I started jetting across the lake, rescuing victims and avoiding Hans. I also got the Fireworks, which sent him off in the wrong direction for a while. Two people died, but I managed to save nine others. I kept the Horror level low so I would have as many dice as possible. And when my boyfriend was murdered in front of me, I got 12 time for my next turn.

But when it was down to me and Hans, things quickly went off the rails. His Finale sent the Bloodlust meter up every term. He got double movement and jetted across the board. And when he finally reached my with a 5 attack, he killed me in one shot.

Can someone provide advice on what I might have done wrong? Did I prioritize saving victims instead of arming myself? Should I have let more people die while I did damage to Hans here and there? Should I ignore the Horror track and make do with two dice? Or is the balancing act just how the game works?

I initially thought that the speedboat made the scenario ridiculously easy, but clearly I'm doing something wrong since I couldn't finish the killer off in the end. I just told a story about a brave and resourceful final girl who saved an entire campsite before succumbing to a relentless murderer. What am I missing??

Thanks for any and all advice!

Andy.
