15 Stars Pictured Next To Their Iconic Movie Monsters

One of the great things about horror movie monsters is their ability to pull you away from reality. How many times has a trailer used the tagline, “It’s only a movie…it’s only a movie…?” That’s because the filmmakers behind the most memorable horror movies of all time were able to pull you inside their vision so intensely that you forget it wasn’t real. And depending on how you look at it, that could be a shame because there are some great actors behind legendary horror icons, even if you don’t recognize them under their incredible makeup.
However, Angela Norris, the owner of Fxattics Studios, wanted to honor those men and women beneath the makeup in a series of photos that showcases both their human side and their most monstrous.
“I am the owner of Fxattics Studios, where I make props and Halloween masks, so I’m always trying to create works of art to increase my likes and views on the page,” Norris told Defused, “I had the idea to do the montage with the clown Twisty as many people don’t know that he is John Carroll Lynch from the show Drew Carey. My followers liked the idea and I kept doing it.”
Entertainment website Defused put together a list of Norris’ work and we picked some of our favorites from the list below.
Tony Moran as Michael Myers
The iconic man behind the mask throughout the movie was Nick Castle, but it’s been famously reported that Tony Moran stepped in for the unmasking scene in which we get to (partially) see Michael’s face.

Quinn Lord as Sam
Did you know that Quinn Lord was also the little boy with the lollipop at the beginning of the film, who peeked into the window while the girls were undressing?

Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger
It’s unthinkable now, but Englund wasn’t director Wes Craven’s first choice to play Krueger. He wanted to use a stuntman for the role but decided that wasn’t going to work and Englund got the part.

Sid Haig as Captain Spaulding
There were three people up for the role of Captain Spaulding: Jon Polito, Red West, and Sid Haig. Guess who got the part?

Howard Thornton as Art the Clown
The mime-like performances that you see Art the Clown doing in the film were used based on Howard Thorton’s experience as a mime.

Bonnie Aarons as The Nun
Long before Aarons became the demon Valak in The Conjuring universe, she was featured in the music video for Counting Crows’ “Round Here” video in 1993.

Daveigh Chase as Samara
Before getting the part of Samara in The Ring, Chase tried out for the part of Jodie Foster’s daughter in Panic Room. She lost to Kristen Stewart.

Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise from IT (2017)
Skarsgård got his inspiration for Pennywise from watching the iconic movie psychos from, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, The Dark Knight, and Silence of the Lambs.

Doug Bradley as Pinhead
Bradley nearly turned down the role as the lead cenobite because he was just starting out as an actor and thought people should see his face.

Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees
Kane might be the most recognized person to have played Jason even though he only became a part of the franchise in its sixth sequel.

Gunnar Hansen as Leatherface
Because Gunnar was faster than Marilyn Burns, during their chase scene, he had to slow down a little by doing other things like pausing to use his chainsaw on a random tree.

John Carroll Lynch as Twisty from American Horror Story
Lynch’s Twisty the Clown portrayal was criticized by the National Clown Association of America for giving their profession a bad name.

Jonathan Breck as The Creeper
The Creeper was bald because Breck thought that it would need to “borrow” its victim’s hair, based on the storyline.

Warwick Davis as The Leprechaun
Unlike Gunnar Hansen in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre who could outrun his final girl in real life and had to slow down in chase scenes, Davis couldn’t keep up with Leprechaun’s final girl (Jennifer Aniston) in a wheelchair scene, so she had to slow down in order for him to keep up.

Tim Curry in Legend, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and IT (1990)
The amount of makeup and prosthetics curry had to have done for this movie was astounding. At one point Curry got claustrophobic during the removal process and panicked ripping off part of the costume and some of his own skin with it.

‘Fear the Invisible Man’ Trailer Reveals the Character’s Sinister Plans

Fear the Invisible Man takes us back to the H.G. Wells classic and takes a few liberties along the way by adding some twists, turns, and of course more bloodshed. Of course, Universal Monsters also incorporated Well’s character into their lineup of creatures. And in some ways I believe the original Invisible Man film to be the most monstrous character among Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, etc…
While Frankenstein and the Wolfman might come off as the tortured victim of someone else’s doing, The Invisible Man did it to himself and became obsessed with results and immediately found ways to use his condition to break the law and to ultimately murder.
The synopsis for Fear the Invisible Man goes like this:
Based on the classic novel by H.G. Wells, a young British widow shelters an old medical school colleague, a man who has somehow turned himself invisible. As his isolation grows and his sanity frays, he schemes to create a reign of wanton murder and terror across the city.
Fear the Invisible Man stars David Hayman (The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas), Mark Arnold (Teen Wolf), Mhairi Calvey (Braveheart), Mike Beckingham (Truth Seekers). The film is directed by Paul Dudbridge and Written By Phillip Daay.
The film arrives on DVD, digital and VOD beginning June 13.

‘The Wrath Of Becky’ – Interview With Lulu Wilson

Lulu Wilson (Ouija: Origin of Terror & Annabelle Creation) returns to the role of Becky in the sequel due out on theaters May 26, 2023, The Wrath of Becky. The Wrath of Becky is just as good as its predecessor, and Becky brings lots of pain and suffering as she faces off against the worst of the worst! One lesson we learned in the first film was that no one should mess with the inner rage of a teenage girl! This film is off-the-wall bonkers, and Lulu Wilson does not disappoint!

Originally from New York City, Wilson made her film debut in Jerry Bruckheimer’s dark thriller Deliver Us From Evil opposite Eric Bana and Olivia Munn. Shortly after, Wilson moved to Los Angeles to work as a series regular on the CBS hit comedy The Millers for two seasons.
Chatting with this young and upcoming talent who has embedded her footprint within the horror genre over the past several years was fantastic. We discuss the evolution of her character from the original film to the second film, what it was like working with all of the BLOOD, and, of course, what it was like working with Seann William Scott.
“As a teenage girl myself, I find that I go from cold to hot in like two seconds, so it wasn’t super difficult to tap into that…” – Lulu Wilson, Becky.

Relax, and enjoy our interview with Lulu Wilson from her new film, The Wrath of Becky.
Plot Summary:
Two years after she escaped a violent attack on her family, Becky attempts to rebuild her life in the care of an older woman – a kindred spirit named Elena. But when a group known as the “Noble Men” break into their home, attack them, and take her beloved dog, Diego, Becky must return to her old ways to protect herself and her loved ones.

‘Cinderella’s Curse’: A Blood-Soaked Retelling of the Classic Fairytale

Imagine Cinderella, the story that children have all come to adore thanks to Disney, but with a twist so dark, it could only belong to the horror genre.
Children’s stories have frequently been fodder for horrifying reinventions with movies like Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and The Mean One. Now, it’s Cinderella’s turn to step into this terrifying limelight.
Bloody Disgusting exclusively reveals that Cinderella is undergoing a transformation far removed from the family friendly kind we’re accustomed to. She’ll be crossing genres in Cinderella’s Curse, an upcoming horror film.

Slated to be available for sale at the American Film Market (AFM), Cinderella’s Curse is the latest offering from ChampDog Films. Thanks to the Bloody Disgusting exclusive, we’ve learned that ITN Studios is primed to unleash this chilling interpretation come October 2023.
Production is gearing up, with filming scheduled to begin next month in the UK. Louisa Warren, a name that’s no stranger to the horror genre, will be donning the dual hats of producer and director. The screenplay is the brainchild of Harry Boxley, who penned the script for Mary Had A Little Lamb. Kelly Rian Sanson, Chrissie Wunna, and Danielle Scott are set to bring the characters to life on the screen.

Warren shared her excitement for this novel take on a familiar tale, stating that it’s an incredibly unique spin on the Cinderella we’ve all grown up with. Promising a series of “truly horrific deaths by her hands,” she assures fans of gore-filled narratives that they’re in for a treat with this dark retelling.
Currently, there aren’t any official visuals available. The images used in this piece, including the featured image at the top, are fan interpretations imagining a horror-themed Cinderella. Stay tuned for updates as official images start to emerge.
