What horror villains would you want to see in situations from other horror films?
How do you think they would fare?
My examples:
Art the Clown in The Purge
Jason in Army of Darkness
Mick Taylor in The Hunt
Otis Driftwood in Would You Rather
Peter and Paul in 28 Days Later
How about this?
Pinhead in the various “Human Centipede” (blech) movies, because he’d show those people the real meaning of the search for true excess. And I hate those movies, so, I totally wish the interest of the Cenobites on them.
I’d watch The Thing fight the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
The Blob versus the Zombie Apocalypse. The Blob just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger as the endless horde of zombies shambles into it…
I know ‘Freddy vs. Jason’ has already been done, but how about a movie where Freddy works with both Jason and Michael Myers, counseling them, kind of like a horror villain acting coach:
“Look guys, the ‘silent, implacable killer’ thing has been done to death (haha, pun intended). Frankly, it’s kind of boring. Audiences these days want to see a killer with a little personality. Taunt your victims. Add some color commentary to the stalking and killing. At the moment you kill them, a pun-based quip related to the method you use to make the kill is always a nice touch. Above all, have fun with it! You want your enjoyment in your craft to come through to the audience.”
Jason stares at Freddy and silently points to the screen behind them, where videos of their kills are played as Freddy gives feedback, the following image pauses in play:
No one knows if his lips even twitch behind the mask.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre versus Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Red stuff everywhere, but it’s not blood.
I would like to see the current US administration, and I use that term loosely, in Airport! They would not have to break caracter.
Hannibal Lecter doing a cameo on Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet would be a treat.
Did you ever see Slither? (2006). It’s a sort of mashup of lots of horror tropes, with a threat in a meteorite (as in both versions of The Blob) that releases a sort of larval intermediate form (a la the Face-Hugger from the Alien movies) that infects a guy and gradually turns him into an alien thing (sorta like The Thing, but more like the creatures in The Quatermass Xperiment/The creeping Unknown or Xtro) who uses human beings as incubators (as in Xtro, again) to create a vertiable army of creepy crawly sluglike things (as in The Deadly Spawn) that go into people’s mouths and turn them into zombies (as in all the Living Dead movies, or Invasion of the Body Snatchers or The Puppet Masters) that are under the control of the original intelligence (as in The Puppet Masters or Quatermass 2/Enemy from Space).
Well, at one point there’s a scene where the slug-zombies are all walking into the blob-like extended body of the overall monster, swelling its size. So you already have a screen maifestation of your idea.
I’ve looked for a YouTube clip of the scene, but I can’t find one.
But watch the movie – it stars Nathan Fillion!
A Creepy Alien Seduce-off between Sil from Species and The Female from Under the Skin!
Megan vs. Chucky
…with Annabelle emceeing?
I’d like to see Pennywise make an appearance in Jaws.
Cut to Chief Brody squinting from shore.
“You’re gonna need a bigger clown car.”
Jigsaw VS The Riddler
“Do you want to play a game?”
“Boy, do I ever!”
If we’re mentioning Jigsaw, then put Jigsaw in the Cube. Nothing like a little irony of a fan of deathtraps being in a deathtrap.
Give him the Lament Configuration from Hellraiser, and you’ve got a turducken of “deadly puzzle” villains.
The Riddler is handed the Lament Configuration. He starts idly playing with it and easily causes the first shift to occur. Noticing the shift in the atmosphere he stops and looks at the box. Really looks at it. Given that his thing is not only creating and solving puzzles but understanding them as well, it doesn’t take him long to discover the nature of the box and its deeper repercussions. He laughs and tosses it back to the one who gave it to him.
“An amusing little puzzle,” he says. “The only real solution is not to solve it.”
