Samara Morgan from The Ring
In The Ring, Samara Morgan (Daveigh Chase) is pushed down a well by her adoptive mother to slowly die over 7 days. She returns as an evil spirit that climbs through TVs to kill others. For maximum effect, remember to wear you wig backwards.

Hermes Conrad
In Futurama, Hermes Conrad (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is a workaholic bureaucrat. He’s buttoned down in the past though, competing in the Olympics as a limbo athlete. He frequently makes exclamations like “tally me banana” in his heavy Jamaican accent.
Maude Flanders
In The Simpsons, Maude Flanders (voiced by Maggie Roswell) is wife to Ned Flanders. They may seem like an odd pairing given her beauty, until you see what Ned’s packing under his shirt. Maude is tragically killed when she’s hit by a T-shirt cannon at a speedway race.
