My thoughts on The Three Slashers

Warning this is going to be the longest entry in the series. After I explained why down below I want people to realize. I really do know the three slashers quite well. Some could argue I didn't have to do some of this. I personally felt this would drive home my point how much these characters meant to me. Today all three of them are major inspirations for several newer horror franchises in some form.

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I'm going big as I cover not one, not two but three slasher villains together. Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street respectively. Yes I am finally going to cover the three slashers that everyone thinks of in the genre. I'm actually a huge fan of all three characters despite things.

I do want to point some stuff out. For Michael Myers, I think doing a separate timeline view would work better than combining them all together. I will also try to keep Myers interesting to prevent getting a lot of the same stuff said a few times. Officially I also could do their remake versions since I'm going out my way to do this as well.

There's a lot of horror movies adding these three horror movie franchises together. What's even crazier is all three of them now in Dead by Daylight. This is going to be among my most ambitious entries to date. Hopefully among my very best in the series. People who read some of my blogs knows I'm a huge Freddy fan being my favorite slasher villain ever!!!

Three iconic slashers that forever changed the world of horror. Despite two of them being a little similar do differ in a few ways. To clarify no this isn't the end of the series. I been considering to write this particular entry for a little while. I felt a lot of people could be interested in what I had to say. I will give my full analyze perceptive of the three slashers here.

Michael Myers

Timeline #1

Halloween (1978 film)
Halloween 2 (1981 film)
Halloween: H20: 20 Years Later
Halloween: Resurrection

Michael started attacking his own family at a young age on Halloween. He gotten committed to a hospital under the care of Dr. Loomis. Myers spent a lot of years never once spoke a word. During one night, Myers escaped heading back to his hometown. Just in time for Halloween, he starts going after teenagers.

His main target being among the group was named Laurie Strode. He attempted to kill her to only gotten shot a few times by Dr. Loomis. Of course, Myers escaped shortly afterwards. Unfortunately for some of the characters Myers wasn't done that Halloween night. Laurie was currently being treated at a local hospital.

Myers continue slaughtering people while searching for her. This is also the entry we found out the two were siblings. Personally having the killer going after his own family was a bit silly to me. As it turns out Jamie Lee Curtis who played Strode felt the same. Dr. Loomis does stop Myers with an explosion. Originally this was meant to be the end of Michael Myers.

They were going to change out themes with each newer entry while taking place on Halloween. Which is why Halloween 3: Season of the Witch has virtually nothing to do with the rest of the franchise. They had a huge problem the audience wanted more Myers. Shortly after Halloween 3, they went back to Myers.

Continuing into this timeline we have Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Which actually happened twenty years following the events of the first two Halloween movies. By this point, Laurie tried to keep living a normal life. Inevitably Myers came back to finish things with her. Strode has a son named John that works for Hillcrest Academy.

Which is a private boarding school Strode among the staff. Her son being among the many students attending there. I know some people had some mixed receptions to this Halloween movie. I always enjoyed rewatching this entry myself. I also should point out Strode faked her death then changed her name to hid from Myers.

Strode was convince she needed to make sure Myers not coming back. Unknowing to her, a paramedic with his throat crushed was forced to dress up as Myers. Which led to Strode beheading the poor guy. This led to her becoming a patient at a different kind of hospital. Strode knew after she found out she didn't end Myers.

Michael was coming back for her. Of course, he did come back to end her early on Halloween: Resurrection. Before I continue this is among the hardest entries to take seriously. For anyone who haven't seen this Halloween movie. We found a new group of people that agreed to be live streamed in a show.

Which so happened to be taking place in Myers' house. Most of them ended up dead with those watching from a party. Sara's boyfriend was attending decided to help the remaining survivors through technology. To be honest this felt more like an Scream movie than an actual Halloween one. Also get use to seeing live streams from multiple cameras.

This does predate Scream 4 with a murder that happened during someone's live stream. Ghostface didn't do that until nine years later. Myers gets horribly burnt to somehow survived. There does exist an alternate ending Sara would've killed off Myers. Stuff like this movie companies avoided making the canon endings for years.

Timeline #2

Halloween (1978 film)
Halloween 2 (1981 film)
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers

Skipping to Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Myers survived at the end of Halloween 2. He was in a coma for a couple years until he finally woke up. He makes his way back into his home town. This time a new main target being a little girl named Jamie Lloyd. I also wanted to say Halloween 4 among my favorite entries in the franchise.

It turns out she was the daughter of Laurie Strode. Unfortunately Strode died in a car accident. Myers killed a couple people while searching for his niece. Once again he and Strode are siblings in this timeline. Eventually he found Jamie to attempt killing her. Dr. Loomis was hot on his trail trying to stop him.

Unexpectedly a lot of people tried to get Jamie to safety. Myers was taking some of them out forcing the vehicle to stop. More of them shows up with guns firing at Myers. This caused him to fall down a hole assuming he died afterwards. A stranger saved Myers to end up dead as well. By this point, Jamie was not only tragicize.

She had an unusual connection with her uncle similar to Pumpkin Head. The demon people made contracts to get revenge but feels everything the demon done to people. This is quite similar to that concept except Jamie can't properly speak. Dr. Loomis being more desperate to stop Myers kept over stepping his boundaries.

Myers does get defeated to be locked up in a jail cell. This is where the timeline goes to crap for the remainder. A mysterious man goes gun blazing to rescue Myers. By now, a few horror movies has a famous go inside a police station then take most of them out. Maniac Cop 2 I felt had a better take on that concept.

This is also where things gets weird since there exists two versions of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. This was because the director and one of the producers really wanted their versions to happen. The director's version was the officially released version. Some people found pirate copies of the Producer's Cut of the movie.

Some of the same stuff happens regardless which version you watched? Jamie being grown up is pregnant about to give birth. In the director's version, it didn't confirm who the father was? Unfortunately in the producer's version, it was revealed to be Myers who raped her!!! Yes you heard that correctly this felt out of his character.

Even Dr. Loomis confirmed Myers being pure evil with no signs of love. Yet somehow a cult convinced Myers to do that bags a lot of questions with not enough answers. In both versions, Myers killed his niece. Her baby now being protected by a few people including a now grown up Tommy Doyle. As in one of the kids Strode baby sat in the original Halloween movie. 

The leader of this cult was revealed to be the guy who rescued Myers. Dr. Loomis wasn't as involved due to the actor not in good health during production. Myers gets defeated to escape afterwards. They also do this stupid supernatural connection thing with a symbol on Myers' wrist. In the producer's cut, Myers died while Dr. Loomis became his successor.

Yeah the same version, Tommy placed rocks the opposite direction of the symbol. Myers couldn't walk pass it is among the stupidest things I ever heard!!! It's safe to say not everyone was on the same page. This barely felt like an actual Halloween movie with a cult involved. I always hated the story both versions myself.

Timeline #3

Halloween (1978 film)
Halloween (2018 film)
Halloween Kills
Halloween Ends

Skipped to Halloween (2018 film). It was revealed that Halloween night, Myers was committed to a hospital. He's been there for forty years in this newer timeline. A new doctor replaced Dr. Loomis took care of Myers. He also played an hand in his escape. I also glad to say he's no longer related to Laurie Strode!!!

Strode was preparing for Myers to eventually return. This version of the character is the over prepared crazy old women that doesn't leave anything to chance. Her daughter comes around with her daughter during the events of the movie. Myers does kill a lot of people while searching for Strode. She was able to save her family while nearly taken out Myers in a well placed trap.

The house had a fire trap in the basement with most ways to get out locked. I simply loved this one shot Myers looked at her as he gets engulfed by flames. Of course, you knew Myers would find a way to survive. This led to a controversial kill scene upsetting many real life fire fighters. Myers killed a couple of them among leaving the burning house.

At one point, an angry mob led by Tommy Doyle attempted to take out Myers. This time Doyle does not survive. Myers also killed Laurie's daughter Karen in a surprise attack. Myers escapes once again from the Strodes. In a weaken state, Myers passed the torch to Corey Cunningham.

The two killers slayed a lot of people until they turned on each other. I really couldn't help this felt more like an unofficial Christine remake than an Halloween movie. Especially both films having a movie with the same last name Cunningham. Both of them gets dangerously close with the monsters in those films.

Inevitably the final battle against Strode happened. They actually allowed Myers to die in the canon ending of the movie. Strode showed his corpse before his body gets ripped apart by a machine. I felt this was the most consistent timeline with the only one to properly end.

Despite that the actual ending sucks!!! Too much of Halloween Ends focused on Cunningham being in a relationship with Strode's granddaughter. For once, Myers wasn't fun to watch as he slayed people. The entire final entry was a massive disappointment. I highly recommend avoid watching it at all costs!!!

Remake Timeline

Halloween (2007 film)
Halloween 2 (2009 film)

This is Rob Zombie's take on the franchise. We start from Myers' childhood not being pleasant. Some stuff you expected to happen still do. He also killed another family member before getting committed to a hospital. Yes he gets taken care of by Dr. Loomis. Until he no longer do so while a few staff members over stepped their boundaries.

In this version, his mother Deborah often visited him. During her last visit her son killed a nurse. She decided to end her life with suicide. She also was played by Zombie's wife Sheri Moon. In majority of his horror movies, she played characters in them. Personally that wasn't the role I expected to see her played.

In the unrated version of the movie, Zombie added in a controversial rape scene. Which was very unnecessary especially being in Myers' room. No surprise to anyone the moment they started touching his masks. Myers goes on a rampage killing a few staff members while escaping.

He does return back to his home town to go after a group of teenagers. Yes Strode is Michael's sister in the movie. Myers continue his murder strake while searching for her. The sheriff does what he can to keep people safe. Dr. Loomis now a selfish prick than being the hero from the other timelines.

Myers does get defeated to survive the night. He goes after Laurie after in the following Halloween movie. He gets fully unmasked then says his one line before getting killed by a group of guys with guns. This very moment broken a few essentials about the character. When he died, his sister became his sister seeing their dead mother again.

Zombie had huge restrictions following his first Halloween movie. He originally had a more unique perceptive direction for Laurie in the sequel. Instead what he ended up giving the fans is among the most forgettable Halloween movies ever made!!! I also don't recommend watching this Halloween movie.

Michael's analyze

I went out of my way to give a quick run down of every timeline Myers in. Myers is a silent killer with virtually no emotions. Dr. Loomis described looked into his eyes. To him was nothing but pure evil stared back at him. It's not clear why Michael was always this way deep down or something happened? What we do know is he will not stop until he gets his targets or possibly die trying.

This franchise dislikes the idea of killing off Myers. A huge chance being over replacing Myers with the canned Halloween direction. Which would've been a different Halloween story in each newer entries. Myers is a very stealthy, smart killer that can easily get the drop on people. Even in pain he doesn't make much noise.

For the most part doesn't hesitate killing people especially members of his family. We have a true monster that barely kills kids with one notable exception in Halloween (2018 film). He dislikes people going inside his house. Myers is the perfect slasher for the classic slasher slasher. It took one positive review to forever changed the reception of the original Halloween movie.

Yes originally that horror movie kept getting negative reviews like several John Carpenter films. Overtime, people came to realize the director was truly ahead of his time. Halloween was clear proof of that that modernize a few aspects to help it stand out from the rest. Myers actually wore a modified William Shatner mask in the original Halloween movie.

There's just something unsettling about a pale white face or mask. Myers can be around the corner to get you without warning. He is like the apex predator inevitably you're going to die against him. Myers may not have a consistent horror movie franchise. People simply can't get enough of the character. Some timelines had questionable aspects that took away from Myers.

I will say Myers is among the best horror icons that started from the late 70s I seen. He also was direct inspiration for Jason Voorhees. He easily could use anything as a weapon. Even a questionable ways like a gun used to impale one of his victims despite no blade on the gun. Myers is stronger than a normal person to easily lift full grown adults a little distance off the ground.

His signature weapon is a butcher's knife. Many actors portrayed the character with not many played Myers more than a movie. The concept of a masked slasher terrorizing on Halloween night was revolutionary at the time. They heavily played off if Myers could be killed or not factor. The lucky ones were a few people either he walked pass or ends up stealing vehicles from.

This man only wants to kill that's it. His entire determination of his existence for that matter. He's so cut off from his emotions making him a true monster. The character became essential to everything horror. Myers was the beginning of the true golden age of several horror genres. It took a long time for the genre to become mainstream as it is today.

We owe a good amount of that to Myers. He simply works too well for the concept. A mysterious masked man terrorizing people on Halloween. Not many people aware of his presence with fewer knowing who he is. In the earlier entries while some of the later ones people knows a great deal about him.

Myers became one of many symbols how to properly do an slasher horror movie franchise. Obviously it's far from perfect in a lot of ways. He quickly became one of the biggest names among slasher villains. Myers is the perfect stealth killing machine. Dr. Loomis tried to be the light to his darkness. Although in the new timeline Strode viewed her as the light to Myers' darkness.

Strode always been Myers' greatest enemy regardless of the timelines. Myers can figure out to get around well armed locations with ease. Despite having no training of any kind within any of the timelines whatsoever!!! This man has among the highest confirmed body counts in history of horror films.

Jason Voorhees

Jason was a disfigured child that kept getting picked on by the other children. He couldn't swim at the time quickly becoming the popular belief Voorhees died. It was later revealed he actually survived from being drowned. After he learned one of the counselors killed his mother. He quickly gotten even with the woman afterwards.

Keep in mind, he actually started with a sack bag on his head before any hockey masks. Voorhees continued what his mother started by stalking anyone that came to any section of Crystal Lake. Some started to view him as a urban myth. Jason was determined to kill any trespassers he finds. He especially dislikes couples having or at least attempting to having sex.

This was largely due to whoever supposed to kept watching. The day he supposedly drowned was having sex at the time. Yeah you are suppose to be keeping an eye on children. Jason eventually gets killed off by a young child named Tommy Jarvis. Which played inside Jarvis' own insanity at the time. This caused a short gap with an imposter disguised as Jason killing people.

Then following that event, Jarvis with an friend visited a graveyard where Voorhees was buried. Jarvis wanted to make sure it was over. Indirectly he caused the killer to come back to life as an undead slasher. Among his first victims was his friend that came with him. Jarvis with help was able to stop Voorhees while being under the water.

This is where things gets weirder with the character. Some of which is a bit ridiculous any of it happened. In Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood had the character take on a new group. Among them was a young lady who had telekinesis. Which is why this particular entry gets the name Jason vs Carrie respectively.

Among my favorite looks for the character as well. In Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan barely had New York at all!!! A good amount of the events took place on a cruise ship heading to New York. You probably wouldn't believe the regular process of sewers took Voorhees out!!! At a particular set time, the sewers unleashed a lot of contained water.

Easily the weirdest entry was Jason Goes to Hell!!! When New Line Cinema took over the franchise from Paramount. Jason gets blown up to somehow survived. A doctor gets manipulated into eating his heart to get possessed by Voorhees. This started Jason swapping out bodies while terrorizing his own family.

All of a sudden, Voorhees became another Myers? He also taking in souls like Freddy Krueger? New Line Cinema owned Freddy prior to Jason but still a weird change to Jason's character. Eventually Voorhees possessed a deceased family member's body to fully revive himself. This twist was strangely similar to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child funny enough.

Where Freddy was possessing Alice's unborn child with the plan to take over his body. Freddy wasn't fully back yet somehow found a way to keep killing people. Prior to that was A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge where he possessed a teenager named Jessie manipulating him to kill people.

Jason gets sent to Hell which was strangely similar to how Freddy gotten defeated in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Timeline wise Freddy vs. Jason was next. I won't go too much into Freddy since that'll be done in his section. I still have to mention him to a degree though. Freddy tricked Jason coming back to life to terrorize teenagers on Elm Street.

After Jason killed two among many people he killed at a party that's held outside nearby a farm. Freddy possessed a member of the group to drugged Voorhees going to sleep. This is where the two killers face each other for the first time. Freddy discovered Jason afraid of water quickly losing against him. We get to see a glimpse of his childhood while Freddy nearby having sex with a corpse recreating that event.

Jason ends up waking up in the real life that caused a car accident. Voorhees runs into Krueger again inside a small building easily dominating the dream demon. Not long afterwards, they fight one more time really tried to kill each other. Some members of the group intervene by causing an explosion. Which sent both killers into the water.

Jason gave Krueger his arm with the famous claw glove back in a rather painful matter. Before he sank into the water allowing Krueger to be killed or that's the assumption. Jason walks out of the water carrying Krueger's head confirming Freddy not dead before the movie ends. Now I got talk to about Jason X a very out of place movie.

Currently at the end of the original Friday the 13th movie timeline. Jason kept surviving executions with one woman named Rowan frozen along with him. A huge time skip in the distant future occurs. A crew for a spaceship taken both of them onto the ship. Jason slaughters majority of the people onboard that ship.

One particular murder caused an accident wiping out an entire space colony!!! Yes this actually happened in the movie. An android named Kay-Em destroyed a good amount of Voorhees' body. Unfortunately, he landed on a damaged machine that repairs sped up healing or replaced damaged tissue.

The later transformed Voorhees in Uber Jason whose an even deadlier cyborg. Easily taking out Kay-Em who was previously upgraded to deal with the killer. A member of the team forces Jason down to Earth 2 since Earth 1 became inhabitable. The ending was an unresolved cliffhanger. Honestly, they didn't properly understand the character it showed!!!

Remake Timeline

We skipped his mother going straight into her son stalking people. There isn't much else to say then an handful of things that wasn't done prior. This version of the character uses traps to a degree. Despite a different movie company Platinum Dunes made a few remakes with Jason and Freddy never planned to do a crossover.

Easily one of the best looking Jason looks in a movie to date. Jason doesn't usually kidnap people while this version does. At least they understood his character better than New Line Cinema. I actually felt Jason gotten the best remake among the Three Slashers!!! I do recommend checking out that Friday the 13th movie.

Jason's analyze

Jason started as a human killing people who visited several locations around Crystal Lake. He ended up being more reckless, brutal killing machine. He really doesn't like any couples having sex. In fact, these couples gets worst ends to life than separately. Jason also believes from beyond the grave his mother still talking to him.

Strongly believing what he's done is right. Jason for the most part doesn't speak but at times groans to pain. In some of these movies, he really take a lot of punishment. Things only gotten worst when Jarvis indirectly brought him back to life. Now he wasn't human anymore that's notably stronger. Somehow gain regeneration allowing him to continue pursing people.

Jason barely befriend anyone except for Lori in Freddy vs. Jason movie. Despite his fear of water, he can still go after people. Jason can use whatever he could find as a weapon. His signature weapon being an machete. He once sliced through three people at once with a single slash. He is a lot stronger than a normal person to the point it's a bit difficult to take seriously.

For example, he quickly grabbed an man's arm threw him that pulled his arm off flying face front into a tree. Yes this actually happened in one of the Friday the 13th movies. Jason will never stop until he finishes killing everyone or he gets stopped. Considering he kept coming tanking a ridiculous amount of damages yeah that's a rather difficult task.

Jason knows his way around the lake. Surprisingly he's almost as stealthy as Myers. You can tell he walks notably harder in comparison. If you see this guy in the forest you better run the hell away!!! Voorhees is evil to a degree but not as evil as the other slashers making up the three slashers. This was proven late into Freddy vs. Jason movie.

Jason made hockey masks a huge success when they were out of style prior. Voorhees is among the biggest names in slasher genre. Jason is like Myers on steroids I'm dead serious!!! Voorhees is a monster that acts more of a guard dog than anything else. Don't visit any location surrounding Crystal Lake you'll be fine.

Freddy Krueger

Freddy Krueger worked at a facility that secretly terrorized children. Which does connected to his rather mess up childhood. He was previously arrested for those missing children. Unfortunately the warrant wasn't signed leading to the judge letting Krueger go. Which pissed a lot of parents off to literately taken justice into their own hands.

They caused a fire at the factory he was working at. Unknown to the parents, Krueger accepted a deal with the dream demons. He does die but he gets transformed into whatever nightmares made out of. Krueger became an undead killer that spiritually and mentally attacks his victims. Essentially in a plain of existence their parents can't protect them inside the dream world.

Krueger can easily manipulate whatever he wants inside the dream world. He kept exploiting his victims fears. Occasionally he does mess around with some of his victims for his own amusement. He targets a group of teenagers including Nancy. Who ended up becoming the fist person to beat him. In a rather unusual matter that indirectly caused her mother to die again.

In A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, he possessed Jessie into killing people. This was as distant from the concept Wes Craven started as possible!!! His girl friend Jessica helped Jessie to fight back against Krueger. Which led to a rather mess up ending involving the school bus. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, the last of the Elm Street teens are committed at a hospital.

Krueger continuing killing a lot of them while being treated there. This is also the movie to introduce some survivors could discover their dream powers to fight back against Krueger. Ultimately Nancy's dad gets forced by a staff member whose a doctor to finding Krueger's remains. Krueger tried to stop his baptism through reanimating his skeleton.

The doctor survived the attack to finish the process putting Krueger's soul to rest. in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Krueger gets revived by a dog's pissing where his remains are. This actually started as a joke that quickly ended up in the movie. Krueger finished what he started with the last group before moving on to the new group.

Kristen before she died gave Alice her dream powers. Literately most victims in the movie ended up doing the same. Now Alice being a composite dream warrior becoming the closest thing to Krueger's light to his darkness. She caused Krueger to lose control over his souls killing him. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, Krueger possessing Alice's unborn child.

A weird loop hole allowing him to kill while not being completely back. This led to the child giving Krueger those souls forcing him out. The soul of his mother, Amanda taken Krueger forcing taking over her body. In Freddys Dead: The Final Nightmare, Freddy targets a new group of teens. Who were accompanied by his daughter not grown up under a different name.

Krueger uses another loop hole to continue killing outside his usual neighbor hood through his daughter. She ends up getting inside his mind seeing parts of his mind. This revealed he had an abusive step father. We even get to see his wife before he murdered her. She found out his terrible secret about the children.

This led to their daughter taken into custody. Which also played in how Krueger targeted a lot of his victims in the earlier entries. Krueger gets pulled into the real world. He gets killed off by his daughter that originally was going to be the end. Officially the next one in the timeline was Freddy vs. Jason. Which is currently the most recent among the classic Freddy timeline movies.

Krueger disguised as Jason's mother in a dream convinced Voorhees to go to Elm Street. His actual intentions was with Jason's help getting people afraid. He could come back terrorizing the teens of Elm Street. Unfortunately when Jason killed a victim he was about to kill himself. This deeply pissed Krueger off that led to the killer possessing a member of the group.

He drugged Jason to go to sleep to confront him in the dream world. Jason does put up a good fight against him. Until Krueger found out Jason afraid of water. Being the sick bastard he is heavily exposes using his fear of water. We also get to see a glimpse of Jason's childhood. Then Voorhees woke up that caused a car accident.

Krueger gets upset towards Lori to start going after her again. He finally reveals what really happened to her mother? Krueger killed her while her dad tried to protect her from the truth. Her boyfriend also witness a part of from the window. The two killers starts fighting in the real world a few times. Lori with Will's help caused an explosion sending the two killers into the water.

Things were looking bad for the last two members of the group. Until Voorhees forced Krueger's claw glove arm through him. Lori ends up with Jason's machete cutting Krueger's head off. This led to Jason walking out the water carrying his head. There's an alternate, disgusting ending where Lori having sex with Will.

Then Will ended up being Krueger with her stomach started to get bigger. There also was a scrapped ending with Pinhead interrupting the two killers fighting each other. Krueger around the fifth movie started to kill fewer people as the movies continued on. Honestly, it's a little of a mess for a horror movie franchise that still enjoyed a lot.

Remake Timeline

There isn't many notable changes except Krueger was made more of a pedophile. Instead of working at a factory, he used to be the groundskeeper of a school. It later gets revealed majority of his victims were former students of that school including Nancy. A good amount of the story is a bit similar to the original movie.

Krueger's goal was to cause Nancy to end up in a coma so they could be together forever. Which is rather mess up of a concept!!! Her boyfriend Quentin ends up being the hero in the movie. In a dream, virtually the same thing happened with the parents. Except Krueger ran outside the building on fire screaming.

I am not a huge fan of this remake. It tried to recreate some classic moments done horribly. The few changes to the story in all honestly wasn't great either. They somehow made Nancy into one of the worst characters in the franchise. Yes I know both versions had different last names that's not the point. The point is people came to see Nancy fighting Krueger not her boyfriend doing that.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare Timeline

This is actually one of my favorite spin off horror movies I ever seen!!! In a way it's a precursor to the original Scream since Wes Craven was involved with both films. This was a rather unique take on the concept. Parts of the concept were originally intended for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3. In the real world, Heather Thompson who played Nancy in two of the movies being stalked.

Some unexpected actions of her son had ties to this slasher. Freddy was killed off in Freddy's Dead. Yet somehow his dark side escaped into the real world like The Dark Half by Stephen King funny enough. Heather starts to notice parts of reality being more like A Nightmare on Elm Street movies. A darker Krueger that doesn't mess around.

Easily among my favorite looks for the character hands down. In the end, Craven came up with a rather unusual plan to stop Krueger. He convinced Heather to play Nancy one last time. The final showdown takes place in the dream world. Along with her son stopped Krueger that led with a complete script. This was a little more than a decade from Seed of Chucky parodying the concept as well as the genre.

Freddy's analyze

Freddy is easily the most evil among the three slashers. Even with Myers being described as being pure evil. Whose evil simply because he chose to be or timelines with the stupid curse thing. Krueger had a rough childhood with a step father. He was the child of an hundred maniacs as revealed in the fifth movie.

Krueger is the most willing to cross lines. In the dream world he directly exposes his victims fears while enjoying every minute of it. He is essentially a deity capable of doing whatever he wants. Anything you possibly know may not be what it seems there. Unlike the previous slasher villains that came before him.

Freddy often speaks saying one liners as well as doing some jokes. A particular alternative variation of the claw glove gotten sued by Nintendo yeah it happened!!! Krueger is a true monster at what he does to people. He is willing to use some of his victims against some of his newer preys. Krueger being a rather creative killer can shape shift into people, objects or a motorcycle.

He easily can bend the rules of reality like Alice gotten sucked into a movie playing at a move theater. He also had Spencer include a video game while terrorizing him. He even transformed Mark into paper while cutting him to pieces literately. In the dream world he could gain any advantages he wants. But in the real world, it's debatable how many of his powers he has?

Not only that, we do know he can be killed in the real world. Krueger had to get creative to come back partially through people to continue his murder streak. He will never rest until everyone in a group is dead or he gets stopped. His signature weapon is his claw glove he wore on his right hand. In the dream world, you are essentially taking on yourself through Krueger.

Freddy being a truly sick bastard he is. He hates when someone taunts or making front of him. He especially dislikes Jason Voorhees following the events of Freddy vs. Jason. Krueger is a scary potential slasher that can easily get in anywhere. There's little to no way to truly protect yourself from him when you're asleep.

Krueger is easily among the scariest slashers I ever heard of!!! Also among the most creative as well including Chucky. Freddy is among the biggest names in the slasher genre. At the time of the original movie, the world never experienced anything like it before. The late Wes Craven created a rather unique, refreshing take on the slasher genre.

Unfortunately Craven struggled to control the franchise because of an executive producer. Despite things, Krueger quickly became a timeless villain character. Krueger still inspiring a lot of newer horror franchises. I really felt the world would've been vastly different without the character. Krueger helped made slasher horror movie franchises stand out!!!

Conclusion

The three slashers has rather inconsistent horror movie franchises. But majority of their kill scenes are quite decent. All three of them were an unique take on the slasher genre especially Freddy. They were a huge reason why the horror genre became so big!!! Not only that, the world really can't get enough of these characters either.

I know Jason Universe is trying to get a movie to happen soon. Just don't expect to see Friday the 13th in the title. It would be nice for Voorhees to fully came back. I been wondering when Krueger going to return myself? I'm actually a bigger fan of Myers over Voorhees. To me, some aspects of his characters interest me more.

Also some of his enemies being more interesting as well. To be fair, Jason has some amazing kill scenes. I just find a guy in a hockey mask a bit scarier than a pale white mask. I also confirm I'm a bigger Ghostface fan than Myers as well. Krueger easily steals the show for me. He really could do so many things neither Myers or Voorhees could do.

If it's not obvious Krueger has the most interesting personality among the three. He truly is whatever nightmares made out of. This always make the character much scarier than the other two slasher villains. Also Robert Englund truly brought Krueger to life. Krueger was really ahead of his time with the concept.

My thoughts on Leprechaun's Leprechaun

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I wanted to do something that's a bit lighter. Ever since I started this new blog entries. I wanted to do an analyze look on another personal favorite of mine. If you been reading my blog entries for a good while. You may already know I always been a huge fan of Leprechaun franchise the horror one.

This will be excluding Leprechaun: Origins. Like my Ghostface entry, I'm compositing most versions together. I know he isn't quite scary to a lot of people. To be honest, he was a rather unexpected concept that surprisingly done bigger than expected. The character is among my favorites despite being a rather unusual take on the concept.

Leprechaun

In most Leprechaun movies he's often referred to as the Leprechaun. In a rather unexpected form of media his true name gotten revealed to be Lubdan the Leprechaun. He has been around a few centuries that's obsessed with gold. To the point, he sold his soul for his Pot of Gold. In a few ways this is among his worst weaknesses.

Anyone who tries to steal it doesn't survive long afterwards. This magical creature is short yet has a good variety of powers. He also has some weaknesses with some being among the stupidest for a horror icon I ever heard of. For example, he must clean shoes he comes across. This is like particular seeds vampires must stop to count every single seed before continuing whatever they're doing.

At one point, a lot of shoes were thrown outside to help a member of the group escape. A medallion placed on him turns the creature into stone. Four leaf clovers can weaken the creature. One of his victims placed an four leaf clover on top of a crate the creature inside. This kept the Leprechaun inside for a decade.

Occasionally he has fun with strangers until something gold from him shows up. Just like that he becomes dangerously serious. Leprechaun doesn't think highly of humans because so many were too greedy for their own good. Yet greed itself he also represents with his gold. Of course, he doesn't take kindly to another leprechaun.

Early on Leprechaun 3 describes two leprechauns doesn't get along. I should point out Scott was bitten by the creature. After he stabbed the Leprechaun caused some of his blood sprayed. Into the area the creature was biting on his arm. Which triggered the process of Scott becoming another leprechaun. The same AI program confirms never trust an leprechaun.

The actual fact first appeared from a book revealed by an old man named Morty in Leprechaun 2. This is because leprechauns are manipulate, tricksters. They may say anything to get people to drop their guards. Including offering up his Pot of Gold or a small chest in Leprechaun Back Tha 2 Hood case. At first he doesn't appear to be smart but he knows exactly what he's doing!!!

The actual folklore he came from is Irish mythology. Like Freddy and Chucky, he often says one liners or jokes. This creature has been to some locations like Las Vegas to a spaceship!!! He also been to a few hoods as well. When the original Leprechaun movie showed up not many twisted takes on folklores were done in horror movies.

Some might view this as a precursor to recent public domain horror movies. The creature enjoys a good chase after his victims. He is willing to use any tactics to get exactly what he wants. Nine out of ten times being his gold. He doesn't take well to insults either. The creature can be quite nasty at times especially desperately searching for his gold.

You better hope you don't have a single piece of it or you may get an unpleasant visit. Leprechaun doesn't care if you're young, old, male or female. He will never stop unless he gets all his gold or he's dead. Trying to kill this thing is quite difficult for a few reasons. He has rather broken regeneration to survive being blown to pieces twice in Leprechaun 4: In Space's case.

Either he or his gold can appear inside people. Of course I gotta mention, he once came out a guy's unit I'm dead serious!!! He also can appear inside a mail box in Leprechaun Returns. He also can easily manipulate machines including a drone. He can shape shift to appear as another human or change his voice.

He also has telekinesis that can be used to shut doors. The creature can cast illusions a few ways to throw off his enemies. The less of his gold he has, the less powerful he becomes. But the opposite also true becoming stronger with more of his gold returned. He also can survive being in the vacuum of space being blown up.

You also can destroy his gold effectively killing him in the process as shown in Leprechaun 3. He really doesn't take being force to give up his gold. Eventually he will find those who held him up for his gold. He also can magically make weapons appear like a chainsaw. One of my favorite reference weapons was his cane transformed into a light saber.

This is a direct reference to Warwick Davis who played one of the Ewoks in a few Star Wars movies. The creature will kill anyone that met with those having his gold or a magical flute. He doesn't leave any stones unturned. On a few occasions, he also wants a woman to a fault. It's not as bad as his greed for gold though.

This also led him open to surprise attacks. Either a human women or an alien princess in Leprechaun 4: In Space's case. Personally he seem much happier being by himself. He wears the clothes you would expect of a leprechaun. He's a huge drinker as shown in Leprechaun 2 in a drinking contest against Morty.

The creature doesn't respect boundaries as well as authority. There was one notable exception in the origin story for Leprechaun Back Tha 2 Hood. A fortune teller revealed to the group in that movie how unpleasant he is? This lady tried to hold him off by herself. Leprechaun can quickly adapt to situations like a room filled with flesh eating bacteria.

He can instantly swap out whatever he's wearing with ease. He once briefly made coins come out of a person like a slot machines. He even caused a few body parts of a woman get massive. She ended up exploded like a giant balloon. This creature enjoys taking out anyone who had any pieces of his gold. He also could teleport to a degree on the fly as shown in a scene of the original Leprechaun.

Sometimes you just don't know which advantages he could help? He could be forcing a friend to shoot himself while getting back a magical flute. This had an unpleasant end the guy didn't survive. He easily ripped a police officer's leg off. Just knowing he can freeze you temporary in place, control a part of you or simply throw you back with telekinesis.

You got to be clever to get dangerously close to the creature with a fatal weakness. The most fatal weakness that gets used on him a lot was Iron. Which also can be used through safes to trap him inside. An actual stab with something made out of iron can easily kill him. You also could trick him into swallowing a four leaf clover.

This weakens the creature to be easy to kill off. The most common usage of that weakness is bullets altered with four leaf clovers. The problem is this variation of the concept acts more of a temporary weakness than an actual kill method. The creature is well aware of his weaknesses. He is also a master of blending in locations.

You may never know if he's already at the location you're preparing to face him or not? What is crystal clear don't even bother facing him without either fatal weaknesses or you'll die. This creature can be rather sadist towards humans. Not the same way as Art the Clown though. At the same time, don't be surprise how unpleasant things gets.

The creature is quite fast on his feet. He also can use magic to reanimate a skeleton into helping him. He will search everywhere for his gold. You may run but one way or another he will find anyone that's stolen from him. He once allowed a gang leader to beat him up. As soon as he gotten tired he simply ripped his heart out.

He may not look like but the creature can truly take punishment from his victims. I do get not everyone going to understand why the character meant so much to people? He is among the meanest magical slasher villains I ever seen!!! He isn't a typical take on the slasher genre since his magic as well as his claws are his main weapons.

Let's be honest it's difficult to take a leprechaun going around killing people. Yet somehow in a way it surprisingly worked better than anyone could've imagined!!! He never was meant to be scary but in some aspects I understand. How some people felt about the character that way. He was a rather creative take on the concept being a magical folklore creature turned into a horror movie monster.

Funny enough, the original Leprechaun movie went through a few genre changes before it became an horror movie. At one point would've had a box of Lucky Charms cereal. Until it became a horror movie that led to one of the last lines changed to insult the cereal company true story. The creature's surprise success led to other folklore monsters to get horror movies.

Yes some of those took a little longer than expected to happen. A lot of them owe the original Leprechaun movie big for that!!! The character is among the funniest slasher villains I ever seen. I always dream of a crossover with Chucky likely never happening now. Unless Dead by Daylight goes for the creature being a huge request from the community.

The creature was truly ahead of his time. They turned a silly Irish folklore creature into a rather ugly horror movie monster. More in terms of his attitude with parts of his appearances being more monstrous. Like Chucky, he's also proof big things do come in small packages. The creature also comes off being rather unbalanced due to a lot of his abilities as well as some of his weaknesses.

Just imagine if his fatal weaknesses he didn't have. This thing would truly be unstoppable force with only one trap method. Obviously, there had to be some limitations or he's too powerful for his victims. The creature is something special since his franchise became the main St. Patrick's Day horror franchise.

For a couple years, Syfy does an Leprechaun movie marathon for the holiday. Now that should speak volumes how much people enjoy watching those horror movies. Something old made into something that ended up becoming a timeless alternative version of the creature. Like Castlevania's Dracula was to the novel Dracula respectively.

Conclusion

I been waiting patiently for a new Leprechaun movie since Leprechaun Returns. I will give Leprechaun Revenge having some of the actors reprising their roles some credit. Which was an unofficial indie Leprechaun short film. I liked two actors' take on the creature. As long one of them comes back I felt we're in good hands

There's plenty of possible directions they could do with the creature. Leprechaun did pick a good stop to time. A few attempts to get things going again. I think the world needs a new Leprechaun movie soon. For the love of God, it needs to be a leprechaun!!! Not sorry Leprechaun: Origins. I simply can not get enough of the creature.

Being one of a few slasher villains my family really enjoys watching. The creature is like a more silly Chucky with more broken magic powers. I always deeply respected the creature for a long time. I absolutely would love for the creature to show up in Dead by Daylight. Ignore all the newer horror Leprechaun movies not related to the franchise you'll thank me!!!

My thoughts on Terrifier's Art the Clown

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I know I already talked a huge deal about Terrifier's Art the Clown this year. I still wanted to do analyze entry on the character. I would be interested in doing more indie horror characters in the near future. I really wanted to literately rip loose talking about this clown.

Art the Clown

He was a serial killer terrorizing people on one Halloween night. Nearly every crime scene with these murders was essentially nightmare fuel. Rather difficult to look at level stuff that could make those with weak stomachs throw up in record time. He is a rather cruel, sadistic clown that absolutely joys what he does to people.

There was little to no reasons why Art done any of these acts? He does occasionally enjoy the cat & mouse game pursuing. He hates when some of his victims fights back. Terrifier 4 finally going to reveal his origin early in the movie confirmed by Damien Leone. This clown often stalked a few people he had interest in.

Some were targeted for upsetting him or simply being there that could've save someone. For majority of the original Terrifier movie, he was human. He was close finishing off Victoria Heyes, a sister of a recent victim. Then the police showed up to unexpectedly witness his suicide with a gun. Just when you thought things couldn't get any worst.

A demon called the Pale Demon not only revived him. But also transformed him in a demon clown. He didn't have humanity prior making him more of a true monster. He started going after Sienna Shaw who ended up becoming his nemesis. As Leone simply put it she is the light to his darkness!!! We assume the full definition going to be revealed in Terrifier 4 next year.

He became a demon clown while she inherited traits of an angel from her deceased father. This clown was even worst ripping his newer victims apart. For some of these victims, it was so bad!!! The very sight of what happened to them could cause someone to lose their sanity or attempt committing suicide. If that doesn't tell you how truly evil this clown is?

I still got more stuff to share about him. In Terrifier 3, he terrorized people around Christmas. This even included a rather mess up situation. A child opened up a present that blew a few people up afterwards. This happened inside a mall where kids came to see Santa around that time of the year. Unlike everyone else, Art laughed hard for what he's done with such disturbing joy.

This clown will target friends or family close to Sienna. He's taken away her mother, her brother, her uncle and her aunt respectively. All of them dead with a little help from the Pale Demon. It's rare when Art quickly kills someone with a particular scene from Terrifier 3 being that exception. He shot the bartender in the neck to died from blood loose.

One of his big customers gets shot in the head. Unfortunately the guy dressed as Santa got the worst death. Art was quite excited when he saw this guy dressed as Santa. You knew eventually Art's true colors were going to show. Let's just say poor Santa now knows what a popsicle feels likes. Usually this clown takes his sweet time to rip his victims apart.

I'm not going to remotely describe actual graphic details of any murders this clown done. I really don't wanna get ban loosely coming a bit too close either. Some fellow slashers like Jason are widely known for their brutality towards their victims. Yet this clown gets so far with some of his victims. They're dying moments every single second felt like Hell!!!

I also need to point out Shaw killed the Pale Demon along with her host being Victoria. In a little bit I'll explain why this matters? Art was already a serial killer that a true monster when he were alive. After he gotten revived to become a demon clown. Only a particular blade that had a connection to angels could harm possibly kill him.

Temporary Art did die at the end of Terrifier 2. But the Pale Demon had a back up plan to bring him back while possessing Victoria. Can you imagine transforming a true monster into an even worst one? This is exactly what happened late into the original Terrifier movie. This clown will never rest until you are dead or somehow he gets stopped.

It's critical to note this clown never speaks in any of the Terrifier movies. Even when he's feeling pain as a demon clown, we don't hear much from him. If he smiles at you, terrible things will be waiting for you later on. In all honestly, this clown doesn't respect boundaries. With one confirmed exception, he would easily cross all the lines.

The one exception he won't cross is rape since he has no interest in sex whatsoever. Although the Pale Demon clearly had feelings for him. Art the Clown is often carries a trash bag filled with his weapons. Some of which he crafted himself that will cut people deeply among getting hit with em. At his core, he lives for torturing other people to death.

To clarify, yes there does actually exists a particular horror movie genre called torture porn. I swear I didn't came up with that name. I never seen any killers prior to truly enjoy ripping people apart this much!!! Just imagine a kid going to a candy store. Then get told grab as much as they wanted. Essentially that's this clown ripping a few people apart together.

What his facial expressions tells what he doesn't directly speaks is truly disturbing. At times, this clown will use the little things he does as a distraction to get his victims off guard. Yes he does have access to a few guns. Yes he does know how to use em. This clown will even do horrible things to animals like rats. He is the kind of evil people refuse to believe exists!!!

The little things he does to a degree helps give you more of an idea. What he thinks or feels about anything including his twisted humor. He is like a mime in a couple ways. He will do hand gestures with those facial expressions. He never speaks yet his actions speaks louder than any words ever could!!!

Occasionally some victims would be disgustingly, disturbingly altered to represent holidays. He is more of full blown chaos anywhere he goes!!! Art also doesn't shy away from young, old, male or female. He also doesn't respect any form of authority. Art the Clown might not be like much on the surface. Right beneath is among the darkest slasher villains I ever seen!!!

Art the Clown is currently among the most popular horror franchise evil clowns in pop culture. Just like the clowns we often had nightmares of, he fits in perfectly!!! He actually was designed to be the polar opposite of Stephen King's It Pennywise. Art is a huge name slasher that kept getting more popular with each newer Terrifier movie.

He is a master at distractions to constantly caught his victims off. He is a little smarter than he appears to be. He's like DC's The Joker in a few ways. David Howard Thornton played a few portrayals of that comic book villains. Art the Clown is someone you should run far away don't even look back. This clown didn't came to entertain children.

No he came to terrorize people which may include members of your family for his amusement. He is a true monster that lacks humanity. This allowed him to do anything truly terrible with ease. You don't let this clown in, he may still find ways into wherever you are. Caution is completely thrown out the window when he gets started ripping people apart.

Conclusion

For an indie slasher villain, Art the Clown is easily among the most terrifying to watch. He represents a new middle ground of classic slasher horror movies with some modern horror aspects. He became the missing link to those within the horror genre. He also is proof you don't need a huge multi million dollars to make a great horror movie franchise.

Art is quickly getting close to popularity of the big name slasher villains. At the same time, he brings such an unexpected uniqueness to the concept. The character is constantly breaking new ground. Which is rather impressive all these horror movies being completely done. Outside the big name movie companies while Leone maintains complete control over the franchise.

This might change due to the lawsuit though. But regardless if he's still involve or not. I do respect what he's done with the franchise. He helped brought back a few essentials missing in newer horror movies. For that alone thank you so much!!! I quickly became a huge fan of Art the Clown. Honestly, he is among the scariest horror movie clowns I ever seen!!!

My thoughts on Final Destination's Death

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today I will be covering to me the scariest slasher in any horror movie I ever seen!!! Last I checked, slasher is among it's genres for this franchise. I always been a huge fan of Final Destination franchise. No other slasher came close to how scary or effectiveness of getting under my skin in a great skin.

Yes I absolutely would love to see Final Destination's Death come to Dead by Daylight. Just like Makima's entry parts of this going to serve a pitch to the team. I decided to make the pitch separate to help it stand out more. Ultimately I'm sharing my analyze of the character. In all honestly, this particular entry was something I considered doing a good while.

Death

Death is the Grim Reaper who represents death on a conceptual level. I know some might view Death as an antagonist. He's actually more of trying to maintain the balance of everything. If one too many survived could mean the end of everything. Usually someone among a group that survived some form of tragedy foresaw what's about to happen.

Often this causes those people to freak out. Unavoidably saving a few people right before something terrible about to happen. This forces Death to hunt down the survivors to those that weren't supposed to survive. Death is among the most creative slashers I ever seen!!! He also among the most powerful from those I seen.

Death can cause huge accidents that kills a lot of people to happen. Especially in ways you wouldn't even think of that were possible. Unfortunately, Death can't simply give them the touch of Death. The entity uses whatever he could find to kill people. For majority of these deaths, a domino effect often occurs.

Death slowly sets things into motion. If he fails either he tries again or go another person on his lists. Like Scream series, each movie had different rules the groups followed. The assumption Death himself followed those rules. By default, you can't see Death but there do exist a few glimpse of the entity in the movies.

This isn't an being they could directly fight either. So many situations could be used to kill his targets. There's little to no limits what Death could do. Confirmed in Final Destination: Bloodlines after several failed attempts. Death will give those targets terrible diseases. Inevitably you are going to die if you're on any of those lists.

Which bags the question did anyone survive Death? Only one woman found a way to beat Death. Kimberly Corman nearly drowned to be revived shortly afterwards. Death doesn't shy away going after young, old, male or female. If you are on any of his lists there's no where to hide. Death can easily go anywhere he's needed bypassing any protection people on his lists had.

Death can go small to disaster levels with ease. Death can start things miles away working towards his targets. The entity doesn't have any notable weaknesses. Simply going by the movies, he can't be reason with either. He goes out of his way to hunt them down for the good of the balance. He does go after families very true in Final Destination: Bloodlines.

He prefers to not have any unfinished business. He lacks a way to prevent someone among each group for foreseeing his plans. Death can use anything that could harm you in some way to kill you. Death will manipulate technology to get what he wants. Yes this does include huge vehicles like planes. Even small household objects could be used to kill you.

He existed as long as death came into existence. He doesn't like getting taunted to a degree. Most of them doesn't even realize how many advantages he has? The only person that came close was Iris Campbell. The same old woman who was in a modified house to prevent Death getting her. People who saw his plans can see further signs of how someone going to die.

Usually through shadows or pictures in the case of Final Destination 3. Death is a master strategist that will unexpectedly go bigger to get the last few people on his lists. Time is not a factor since he has plans through plan z with some people. Death will never stop coming after you until somehow you survived. In a way Death stops coming after you or the ugly truth you die along with everyone else.

Don't view Death as a person he's much bigger than that. He is essentially a deity trying to keep things spinning. But can't allow too many timelines that's not supposed to exist. The more people that survives when they're not suppose to be. The greater of the end of things going to be. Something no one ever realizes in any of the movies.

By being alive, some people can't be born neither die until this matter is fixed. As if the life cycle can't properly continue flowing. Yes Death delivers some truly horrible ends to his targets. But try to think of it for a greater cause in the grand scheme of things. Death simply wants things to be fixed nothing more. Things only gets worst for those that continue to survive.

The true perceptive is Death the hero by doing some truly unpleasant things. Everyone that survived beyond when they're suppose to be. This actually triggers a slow moving end to humanity. Even decent people among the targets needs to be removed. Death isn't a monster in what he does. He is largely misunderstood by his targets.

Death is a entity that doesn't like to be tested. He also doesn't like people originally not targets trying to save someone who is. Yes they will end up becoming targets themselves. The only true limitation Death has is within every thing he uses. For example, he can't fire more nails from a nail gun if there's no more nails.

There's some obvious tech situations that could occur. Despite this, Death always found a way to make it work. Death won't bend such concepts making him more fair than they ever realize. Usually he easily could use something else before any of those situations happens. Death can virtually do whatever he wants.

At the same time, he does represent order. He expects to get one or multiple targets at a time. No matter what other people in those groups does. As long people kept foreseeing his plans. Many people needs to die to maintain order. He doesn't kill without a reason let's make that crystal clear. There was one notable fun time messing with someone in Final Destination: Bloodlines.

Although this came at the expense of someone. This proved Death does occasionally have fun on the side while working. This also proves Death isn't evil either. If any of this terrifying you it should indeed. He represents the inevitable end of every living being. There is little to no escape from his wrath. Sooner or later, he will get you.

Dead by Daylight pitch

Let's be honest, there's a lot of choices among the survivors to choose from. I still felt they should go with the one person to survive him. Kimberly Corman from Final Destination 2 it makes perfect sense. The only person to found a way to beat Death in the movies. There's virtually no question the killer needs to be Death!!!

I know the big question is exactly how to go about playing as Death in Dead by Daylight right? It's a bit ambitious but also quite simple at the same time. Death was meant to be invisible like The Wraith to a degree. They would place anything Death could use against survivors around the maps. Which also could be the generators themselves.

Death would be done in a rather unique simulator style. Where you can see a large portion of the map from bird eye view. To some people this would be similar to many simulator games. Death can easily cause something from one side of the map. Then quickly do something else on the opposite side. Of course, they would need to slow this down a bit to make it fair for survivor players.

This also would allow the team creativity. How to go about harming the survivors as Death during matches? Instead of Death directly showing up to carry survivors to hooks. He could directly manipulate the hooks themselves to hang people. Which would be faithful to the source material. There's no question Death is among my most requested horror icons for the game.

Another possible cool aspects they could do. Players could be given a huge variety of stuff to work with. Thus bringing a more unique game play style that anyone could make their own in some way. Virtually making Death among the most customizable in terms of attacking people. I do believe if this done right going to easily make Death among the most popular killers in the game!!!

Some maps can be quite huge making playing Death a little trickier. This also would make it easier for Death to place traps or simply wait for opportunities to strike. This would completely transform Dead by Daylight into a vastly different horror game experience. Instead of appearing to close the hatches during matches.

Death would need to control something to close them. This also would buy survivors more time to find the hatches. It also wouldn't be fair to place stuff outside exit gates. Although, those playing as the character can place stuff close by them. There would be some limitations on placing things. None of it could be permanently broken.

Just temporary disabled with times for becoming available to use differs among them. There wouldn't be actual cosmetics for Death himself. However whatever he's given to hunt down the survivors with. Those would receive cosmetics to further allow customization to the overall experience. Also considering Final Destination: Bloodlines was the late Tony Todd's last movie.

I felt Death is a better choice than Candyman at the moment. Let's be honest, they might have no choice but use the other Candyman character. Whose not getting requested at all by the community. I really think Candyman is off the table for the game. But Todd played a notable character in Final Destination series.

In a way, he probably prefer Death over Candyman coming to the game. Unless someone close to him confirms the opposite. Being afraid of Death is a very common fear among every living thing. You knew eventually they had to do a more direct take on the concept. Which is exactly why this version of the Grim Reaper would be perfect for that.

I'm also aware this could work against him trying to maintain the natural order of things. By accepting to be among many killers for The Entity. His universe no longer have death effectively dooming everyone. The Entity can manipulate the life cycle to a degree. I felt The Entity would make a deal with Death than having him as an enemy.

You could name a lot of great killers in any franchise. But none of them came close to the Grim Reaper!!! I do have some ideas exactly where to pull these Final Destination characters from. Kimberly would be taken during getting revived after nearly drowned. A mysterious black fog came to take her. As for Death, I felt the perfect opportunity would be finishing his list.

In Final Destination: Bloodlines following William Bludworth passed away concluding several events of the movies. Death was directly encountered by The Entity. There was a brief fight before a deal was made. Death agreed to join among it's many killers. This also would prevent getting Bludworth into the game.

As for the add-ons being among the most creative aspects of the character in the game. Death could use a huge variety of anything given to him during matches. Therefore, Death would have a rather lengthy list of add-ons for each type players can use to tone it down a little down. For example, if they want something to be a little more flammable or explosive they can.

They also can increase the meters to get more usage about them. There wouldn't be add-ons to work on more than one type though. Otherwise that simply wouldn't be fair to the survivors side. This further brings in customization to the game in a way it never had previously. This is exactly why Final Destination's Death always been a huge request for me.

Death wouldn't be allowed to directly have planned layouts on maps. After all, the maps are randomly generated. The very last thing they want is giving killer players a little too much of an advantage. They only would control what they could use against the survivors. Along with which add-ons being applied to some of those.

There's plenty of ways they could balance things to make it fair for both sides. Playing Death virtually is similar to creator modes in many video games. They would give you plenty to work with. They really wanna see how truly creative you could be with this killer. I wouldn't even be surprise they end up making a contest about it either.

I really think Final Destination chapter could be among the most successful they ever done!!! Especially if they really take the time to make it a truly unique experience. I doubt they increase PTB period though. Personally I would rather they should increase that period just for this killer. They likely expecting a long list of details from those testing the character.

Death would be exactly what this game needs? They been looking for more variety among horror genre. Final Destination franchise would help bridge that gap. Not only that, playing as Death should be a truly unforgettable experience. You know how some people felt among playing video games off a particular list before you die.

Death should be handle to a similar quality. They easily could do a couple legacy skin characters. I also think Death being one of a very few killers to work perfectly on every map. Death has just enough control over the survivors to keep things interesting as well as balanced. Who knows if this convinces the team to go for the license or not?

They also mentioned they wanna be more creative about the upcoming changing weather system. Which licensed killer more perfect than Final Destination's Death? Not only this killer could take advantage of the weather. Some disasters allowed in by the developers also could be used. Of course, any notable damage to the map like that overtime would be fixed for fairness purposes.

This should make Death among the scariest killers in the game. Killer players simply can't control which weather conditions going to show up during matches. Which also being done for fairness purposes. They still could maintain control of everything else to make up for that. This is easily my most ambitious killer request for the game hands down!!!

Conclusion

Final Destination series is among the most creative horror movies I ever seen!!! It really would mean so much to me. If Dead by Daylight could bring in such an iconic horror movie franchise to the game. Especially one that literately terrifying to most people who seen them. Death may be viewed as a villain actually the hero in their stories.

Considering next month is The Judgment whose an angel killing survivors coming for that game. By this point anything could happen. Death would be a really awesome addition to the overall experience. Honestly, I think they really can't go wrong with this. Final Destination series earned a place in that game.

My thoughts on Scream's Ghostface

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I have a few more entries planned for this horror analyze blog series. I been wanting to talk more about one of my absolute favorite slashers. I do talk a lot about this character a lot. Scream's Ghostface always meant so much to me. Being the big slasher of the 90s during my childhood.

You can believe I been very surprised Ghostface kept showing up in video games. Ultimately we got the late Wes Craven and Fun World to thank for that. I know some people probably wondering how I'm going to go about this right? Officially a lot of characters shared the persona of Ghostface in Scream franchise.

I figured I'll do a composite take on the Ghostface persona. Directly pointing out recurring traits of the character. If I get enough demand I would do an follow up entry. Where I personally cover every main killer to don the persona. Yeah all of them in one lengthy blog entry for fellow Scream fans to enjoy. I did try to make to be accurately recreate of all their personalities as the character together.

Ghostface

They wear an iconic costume you find at places especially at costume stores. The late Wes Craven unexpected created another iconic slasher villain following Freddy Krueger. The persona often call phones to taunt their victims. To a degree, horror movies was inspiration for the character's actions. Whoever donned the costume was always among Sidney or Sam's circles.

They already know enough to terrorize them. They don't care if the police or family gets involved. Ghostface doesn't excuse anyone from their killing strakes. As much you wanna try saving your family. A relative could be among the killers trying to kill you. Ghostface does follow majority of the rules most circles established.

It's rare when a rule gets broken. Of course that doesn't stop Ghostface. There's a lot of possible motives behind their collective actions. Either they want revenge either directly or indirectly caused by their victims. They want to survive to become the sole survivor. Which Ghostface calls the star while getting away with the murders.

Jealous also could be a notable factor. Obsession into a particular slasher horror movie franchise. Which were based on a lot of murders done by the persona. In Ghostface's mind, everything playing out just like those slasher horror movies. Obsession also could play into other questionable reasons. It's safe to say their hold on their sanity questionable or simply can't tell the difference.

Between what's real or a horror movie franchise? All of this kept coming back to the persona is rather selfish. Either they wanna become the next Sidney. Trying forcing Sam to become like her father. For those that haven't seen some of the movies. Her dad so happened to be one of the original killers to don the costume Billy.

Some of the newer killers to don the costumes were obsessed with the original killers. This is also directly playing off the famous horror movie belief. Usually the originals are the best horror movies. Which isn't quite true but for some franchises it is true. Ghostface always respected the classics mostly being the original horror movies.

In fact, you pay attention to some of the questions Ghostface asks in these movies. Majority of them goes back to the original entries. There's more aspects that plays into their twisted obsessions. The actual costume used in Scream series was a real life costume. It started with Craven getting permission from Fun World to use the costume for the original Scream movie.

Before I go further I also need to mention, some of them also were inspired by books. Based on the actual murders written by Gale Weathers. It's mind blowing, she doesn't take responsibility for their actions. Yes Stab horror movie franchise was based on the same murders. I figured to point out something I couldn't ignore much longer.

More recently make Sidney's daughter into the next final girl. Deep down the persona loves all the attention they're getting. There's seven Scream movies nothing is truly over. There's always more killers coming after the same main targets for similar reasons. The persona can be rather manipulate to a fault. There are times some of those attempts backfired.

Ghostface gets a little creative to go about killing people. Also getting around some tricky situations while escaping. Manipulation can be used to turn members of the group against each other. The big lesson I learned from this horror movie franchise is don't fully trust people. They could be the ones taking your life!!!

They always save their big target for last. By this point, the persona no longer needed with the killers revealed. Young, old, male or female it doesn't matter who wears that costume. Trouble is never far behind for anyone within those groups. The persona became a symbol to killers in newer Scream movies.

Very true in Scream VI with a location having previous costumes of the killers. Ghostface is more than a famous slasher to the survivors. Whoever dons the costume is a part of a disease slowly killing the main targets like cancer. A few states had to endure these murder strakes including New York. Ghostface was more in New York than Jason not sorry!!!

The persona is essentially the main targets worst enemies. They will never stop until either they get what they want or die trying being the more common outcome. If you wanna be technical Ghostface excluding Jason in Scream VI. The persona died Fifteen main killers donned the costume in the movies so far.

Despite this, as long more people dons the persona. This will never end like an ending cycle of good and evil. The good side trying to simply get their lifes back after tragedies. The evil side in all honestly doesn't care doing everything for their own amusement. Ghostface may appear simple on the surface. But every person to don the persona differs in a few ways adding in complexity.

Ghostface really doesn't like someone else attempted to start going after Sam. They also don't like getting taunted back especially using the costume against them. They especially don't like when things does not go according to plans. Ghostface prefers to stick to the script on things. The persona isn't afraid of anyone either.

If you composite every killer together. You actually would get a true monster that's all about themselves. Some trends like requels they take incredibly seriously. More recently, the persona wants to start things over. Ever since Scream 4 which sadly was the last Scream movie before Craven passed away. In a way, the persona knows they can't win unless they force changes.

A new beginning means a lot of possibilities previously off the table are back. Assuming they were able to pull this off. The same endless cycle is still there. They are always destinate to die in the end. Whoever their new main target could be. There's a huge possibility that person could be worst than Sidney and Sam.

Considering all the crazy stuff Sidney survived that's saying a lot!!! The persona always makes things personal with their main targets. Usually the main killers knows their main targets quite well. For every good they tried to do, the persona always does something horrible right back. It's like having a feud with your neighbor that's gets ugly.

Ghostface also doesn't like people criticizing horror movies. In fact, it's a great way to make yourself a bigger target. The persona deep down doesn't respect any form of authority. Yes they directly targeted police officers before. Assuming the killer can get in anywhere. You better get prepare to fight for your life if you wanna survive!!!

Simply because the killers usually are in those groups. They already know how to counter their victims. You know family means little to nothing you're dealing with a monster!!! Sometimes they lie about their pasts to throw people off. The persona uses a voice changer can be used to manipulate their victims. This is more of tricking someone getting into a position to be attacked.

Ghostface may not be the start of a particular slasher style. Currently the character is the most popular among that slasher style. I'm referencing to the viewers aka us have to pay attention. To try figuring out who the killers are? Scream franchise was a modern, cooler take on the concept. This also means unlike most slasher villains, Ghostface never the same people.

Personally I always thought that was a rather cool idea. It does have some risks but if done right could break new ground of the genre. Let's be honest, you already know it had since the original Scream movie. Ghostface was truly ahead of his time. Just like some of the other slashers had his own knock offs.

The persona never being the same people can heavily impact things in a Scream movie. Some variations could be more reckless, a bit eager to kill or takes their time to carefully plan out their moves? Usually one of them killers turns on the other killer. Usually to kill em then pin all of it on them while they get away.

Yes even those who don the persona aren't safe from each other. You know whoever dons the costume is too gone. The best thing to do as unpleasant the reality of the situation is put them down!!! Try to think of it like this would you let them get away knowing more people going to die or kill em to stop this? Personally I'll be happy to gun the man killer myself in the head.

Ghostface is a cold, calculate killer that's quite manipulative. There is no reasoning with anyone dons the persona. At their core, they want death with whatever sick, twisted goals they want. You just don't know if you're about to get arrested or going to school with the killer. Suddenly you realize how truly terrifying all of this is?

This killer absolutely loves all the chaos they're causing. The worst part is they already know how their actions affecting people close to them. Yet they continue to do such horrible things without a single care in the world. Although, there were some occasions they tried to fake their emotions on those situations. Ghostface is willing to do anything to get exactly what they want.

Conclusion

Ghostface is among the most popular slasher villains to date. Along with a lot of them in a few video games together. Of course, I was quite happy to see the character in Mortal Kombat 1. If this would've happened back in my childhood. I would've completely been mind blown. I also used to compared the character a lot to Halloween's Michael Myers.

Both wore dark outfit a costume in Ghostface's case. They wore a pale white mask that became iconic since the original horror movies. By default, both killers would use a knife to harm possibly kill people. Despite some similarities are quite different horror movie villains. Ghostface was a ,more revolutionary concept with Scream 8 in production.

Return to Silent Hill (2026) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today the new Silent Hill movie came to Hulu. I know a lot of people waited since Silent Hill: Revelation. Fourteen years later here we are!!! The previous Silent Hill movies were based on actual Silent Hill games. This is no different being based on Silent Hill 2. I had high expectations because the original director came back to do the film yeah you can scratch that!!!

Return to Silent Hill (2026)

Return to Silent Hill is a movie adaptation of Silent Hill 2. Actually among several upcoming Silent Hill stuff mostly games announced a few years ago. I hate to say this might end up as the worst among them. Don't go in expecting it to follow the game well it doesn't at all!!! You have James Sunderland that came back to the town of Silent Hill to find his wife.

Those who already played either version of Silent Hill 2 knows the big twist. The movie completely skips the prison section reducing Eddie's role. I'll be honest, he was just there for a few scenes that's it!!! I can tell the director gotten the character wrong. Yeah you better get use to me saying that. Pyramid Head's role was changed to being another James Sunderland.

At one point, Sunderland summoned him to kill off Maria. Which none of this was accurate to either version of the video game. Pyramid Head's role in those games was to help James remember what he's done to his wife. Sunderland never had control over the creature. In fact, Pyramid Head would kill Maria twice in both versions.

Maria was among many creations of James from his mind. It's disappointing Pyramid Head was used in such a way not true to his actual purpose within the games. Angela never became part of that bed monster. Speaking of bed monsters, Mary appeared too soon in place of another boss monster. Of course, this took place inside a hospital further ruining things.

Angela was suppose to commit suicide by going inside a location burning. Which is meant to represent her frustration of sexual abuse from her family. Thus, making her a part of that bed monster didn't make sense!!! Laura was actually the only normal person among the characters. Originally an innocent little girl who befriended Mary.

The director decided to make the little girl a part of the grand scheme. Her name was taken from Mary's full name. She was carrying a monster baby which wasn't even from those Silent Hill games. Like Maria, she was another version of Mary to force James to remember what happened. This actually similar to two Walters in Silent Hill 4: The Room.

The adult Walter was a spirit killing people for a ritual. But his child self often showed up. Let's put it this way it made sense where Walter was split up like that. Laura changed to being another version of Mary doesn't make any sense!!! To make it even worst, the same actress played the same character in Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Believe it or not, the director realized too late she already played the character before after filming was done. James meets with Mary on top of the hotel they stayed at. Which made no sense since the beginning of the end was suppose to be triggered in the room they stayed in. They used an unneeded elevator scene with Maria to trigger it instead was bad writing.

You can tell when the movie reaches the hospital. The overall pacing suddenly goes a little too fast. Yeah it reached the point I wished the director would've slowed things down a little bit. Obviously not looking great here at all. We still haven't gone to what I really did not like? The movie recreated In Water Ending to only undo things with starting the story over.

Yeah we get to see James meets Mary the same way again leading right back to the same exact events. As if James now trapped inside his personal hell to relive all of this for an eternity. Going back to Mary, they changed her story too much. Mary was originally just a normal woman that's it. They changed her to being related to the founders of the town!!!

When did this suddenly became Silent Hill: Homecoming? To clarify what I'm talking about here. In that Silent Hill game, four families often done rituals. However due to an unexpected accident, they couldn't properly complete the ritual. Which triggered the events of that Silent Hill game. Not only that, Mary was in a cult!!!

Yes some Silent Hill stories involved a cult. Mostly any of them that had Alessa. But Silent Hill 2 never involved that cult!!! It's almost like how could the director make this more interesting? Oh yeah let's make Mary a part of the same family that founded the town of Silent Hill that was in a cult good idea!!! In all honestly, these changes further took away what was supposed to be there.

Silent Hill was meant to have more normal characters. This wasn't how any game teams done the concept. It was revealed Mary asked her husband to end her life. This wouldn't be an issue if that were in the games prior. Unfortunately it's not, James murdered his wife. He couldn't take her suffering any longer that led to crossing the line.

I didn't like how many characters was portrayed at all!!! I could excuse no prison if everything else was done a lot better. I also couldn't stop noticing how ash on several things looked too much like snow. No really I don't know how you could screw that up in a movie. Especially from the same director that given us the original live action Silent Hill movie.

Where stuff like this was done much better as well as more faithful to the source material. There's an spider monster that gets killed by Pyramid Head. This wasn't even from any Silent Hill game by Team Silent. Who developed the first four Silent Hill games. I didn't like any monster appearances in the movie.

The director made the roaches sorta like small people. They were just giant roaches like in the original Silent Hill movie he directed!!! I disliked Pyramid Head's appearance easily among my least favorites. Even the nurses seems a bit off. The nurses any variation is among the most recurring monsters in the series.

People sure love cosplaying as the nurses. Even the worst among those I seen looked better than the ones in this Silent Hill movie!!! The director recreated a couple moments from the game. I have no issue with that if it's done right. But some of them just felt wrong or rushed to work. Sunderland kept calling his doctor which wasn't in either version of the game.

I will be more direct Silent Hill: Revelation. Which was a rather loose adaptation of Silent Hill 3. Among my favorite Silent Hill games I played. I even liked more than both versions of Resident Evil 3. Somehow that's more faithful to the source material than this!!! I absolutely hated how the director went about the story.

The CGI usage wasn't used well especially in a handful of scenes. People would think the monsters making it difficult to look at. No some of those monsters looked terrible in a bad way!!! Yes James does get a letter from Mary to come look for her just like in those games. But not even once he looked at the letter later on to realize nothing was on the letter.

Which easily could've been something to help start a scary scene. Pyramid Head was barely in the actual movie. A stupid change was James fought back against the nurses. Then one of them gets inside the elevator to stab Maria. I have a few major issues with this change to the story. Originally Pyramid Head was suppose to kill Maria to help James remembered what happened to his wife.

This change took away from the overall procession Sunderland had in the story. At the same time, moments like this had a much deeper reason for happening. Basically this made the moment pointless since Sunderland could've started the elevator. Thus, prevented Maria from getting stab it felt forced as well as rushed.

If Eddie was never going to be a notable role in this version of the story. Why bother adapting the character in the movie in the first place? Eddie was suppose to become insane. Then Sunderland gets forced to kill him in self defense. But the guilt led to a second Pyramid Head showing up. This also prevented that from happening in the movie.

Somehow this director nailed it the first time. Then dropped the ball hard on his second Silent Hill movie!!! It doesn't even matter this is technically the third Silent Hill movie. What does matter is the changes to the characters along with the story make it incredibly less based on the game. Hell someone could edit out a lot of scenes to make it a short film.

I felt that version would've worked way better than this!!! It's a real shame we finally gotten a movie based on Silent Hill 2. Easily one of the absolute greatest survival horror games ever made. Twice if you count in it's remake. The director threw salt on the wound it's still burning!!! I even felt Silent Hill 2 through Silent Hill HD Collection Xbox 360 version.

Which couldn't be fixed that had some notable technical issues was somehow better than this!!! This is officially the worst version of Silent Hill 2 I had the displeasure seeing!!! I really can't say anything positive about the movie. The few things I came close to quickly ruined in many ways. Also James wouldn't have the power to kill Angela and the bed monster off like that!!!

It actually makes no sense since Angela suffered sexual abuse by her family. Therefore, shouldn't that been Angela not James? If it were her, I doubt she would've end things like that. Last I checked, Angela was an actual person in the games. James shouldn't had any control over that bed monster whatsoever!!! This movie rushed a bit too much that automatically ruined anything that could've saved it.

Return to Silent Hill should've been the come back many Silent Hill fans were waiting for. Instead just like Mary twice in the same movie, I'll be waited for my ride to get here. Another confusing change was a few locations were shaped like mazes. In a way I sorta get what the director tried to do. At the same time, this had virtually nothing to do with Sunderland!!!

Look I know the later maze had paintings on the wall. Which was confirmed to be painted by James. To me that felt like a rather loose connection than something actually important. I know some people going to read this thinking my standards are a bit high. In a way they should be because it's Silent Hill 2!!! You expect the notable gap from the first Silent Hill movie we could've had a master piece.

Oh it's a master of something alright how not to make a proper video game movie? This isn't necessary among the absolute worst video game movies I seen. I will say it's just a little above them though. I really can not recommend this Silent Hill movie. This felt like a massive lie I just struggling to accept. Like Sunderland struggling to accept the truth what happened to his wife.

Return to Silent Hill is a massive disappointment. I can't even think of a scene that's worth talking about in a somewhat positive matter. Every character was horribly portrayed with some being notably off. One of many Pyramid Head appearances that doesn't make sense. A stupid ending that further sank the entire movie to the bottom of a lake!!!

Oh wait the movie actually does that!!! Then the entire movie could've been avoided by either Mary getting on that bus or Sunderland kept on driving. The entire cult thing felt forced than anything else. If this were labeled as an reimagining of Silent Hill 2. Some of these changes I could've excuse. No the director confirmed it's based on that Silent Hill game.

This movie felt like a huge waste of my time!!! The story just never quite came together. Especially when the pacing goes too fast. The ending felt like a huge slap to the face!!! Just to add further salt to everything, a famous Silent Hill song plays late into the movie!!! Good luck for anyone still watching this movie by that point!!!

I mean wow it almost seem like this director wanted to flat out ruin this Silent Hill movie. Does he have something personal against Silent Hill 2? I am curious I really wanna myself. He clearly prefers the original Silent Hill game more. I felt this was a train wreck despite no actual trains in the movie. Return to Silent Hill should've never came out, this isn't how you give proper respect to the franchise!!!
