Regan from The Exorcist
In The Exorcist, Regan (Linda Blair) is a young girl possessed by the demon Pazuzu and requires an exorcism to free her. Although you may be able to recreate Regan’s demonic look, it isn’t quite the same without the head spinning and projectile vomiting. Rumor has it that in the movie, split pea soup was used for the green-colored vomit.
Nanny from Muppet Babies
We never see Nanny’s face in the Muppet Babies series, but her characteristic green and white striped stockings and purple sneakers always stood out. Though we assume she’s human, it’s also quite possible she could be a Muppet as well.
Consuela
Consuela is the head of the Maids’ Union and is the world’s most stubborn maid, who often makes her point by repeating “no, no, no”. She’s employed by the Griffin Family as well as by Superman, Darth Vader, and James Woods. In her off time she helped Mexico beat Canada in curling.
Leatherface
In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Leatherface is a chainsaw-wielding, psychopathic murder who has a taste for human flesh. He and his inbred family hunt down victims and turn them into practical items like housebuilding materials and meat for BBQ and chili. Probably the scariest thing about Leatherface is that the fact that he was inspired by real life killer Ed Gein, who wore a mask of human skin.
Pennywise from It
Anyone who’s afraid of clowns is probably afraid of them because of Stephen King’s It. It is able to shape-shift and exploits the fears of its victims. It primarily takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown in order to attract its preferred prey, young children.
Ursula from The Little Mermaid
Ursula is a sea witch who helps poor unfortunate souls in The Little Mermaid by using her dark magic. Her deals come at a steep price and if you’re unable to pay her back you risk being turned into a polyp. Ursula knows the importance of body language and maintains her looks with seashell make-up and accessories.
Ghostface from Scream
In the Scream series, Sidney Prescott is the target of Ghostface, a masked murderer who torments her by killing the people around her. The Scream series revived the horror genre in the 90’s by incorporating humor and by its acknowledgment of horror movie cliches.
Michael Myers
In the Halloween slasher films, Michael Myers is a masked killer on the loose, stalking his next teenage victim. Don’t get him confused with Jason Voorhees or Mike Myers, he takes great offense when that happens.
Glenn Quagmire
Glenn Quagmire is one of Peter Griffin’s close friends in Family Guy. He’s an airline pilot during the day and a sleazy sex hound with questionable morals at night. Giggity giggity goo.
