Tribute To My Favorite Horror Villains #8: Michael Myers - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JamesG · 10-24-2009, 11:16 PM

As of now it is one week until Halloween so every night until then I will be making a little tribute to my top favorite horror villains.

I am only focusing on the originals and not the remake franchises.

1. Pinhead from the "Hellraiser" Series

Name: Pinhead aka The Lead Cenobite
Human Name: Elliott Spenser
Born: 1888 in Great Britian
Height: 6 feet
Portrayed By: Doug Bradley in all films

Pinhead was born Elliot Spenser in upper-class British society in 1888.

When he was an adult he fought in WWI joining the British Expeditionary Force and rose to the rank of Captain. From the horrors of war he felt that he no longer had the right to live and lost his faith in God from the war.

Upon returning home from the war he found his gratification came from drugs, alcohol, and sex. When that didn't please him anymore he engaged in sadomasochistic activies now that his only pleasure came from pain.

In 1921 his life had forever changed when he went to a market in India and bought the Lament Configuration box; a small puzzle box in which another dimension is opened once it is solved.

From this point on Elliott Spencer became Pinhead when he was transformed into a Cenobite. The Cenobites are the guardians of Hell and suffer forever through hooks and other piercings through their flesh.

Pinhead became the leader of the Cenobites and now was in charge of capturing the souls of others who opened the puzzle box next.

Movies:

Hellraiser (1987)
Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)
Hellraiser IV: Bloodline (1996)
Hellraiser: Inferno (2000)
Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002)
Hellraiser: Deader (2005)
Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)
*It is reported that a remake is currently in the works*

Pinhead is awesome. I've only seen the first two and one of the newer ones. I really like the first two, but I can't say the same about the other one I watched.

2. Candyman from the "Candyman" Series

Name: Candyman
Human Name: Daniel Robitaille
Born: Exact Date Unknown - 1800s in New Orleans, Louisiana
Height: 6’5”
Portrayed By: Tony Todd in all films

The Candyman was born Daniel Robitaille who was the son of a slave and became a gifted painter.

A wealthy plantation owner hired him to paint a portrait of his daughter and he fell in love with the daughter; named Caroline. Daniel winds up impregnating Caroline which causes the anger and disgust of the whole town.

Caroline’s father, followed by a mob, chase Daniel through a field and cut off his right hand with a rusty blade and then smear honey over his body. A boy tastes the honey and says, “Candyman!” and then the crowd shouts the name over and over in mockery as bees swarm over Daniel.

Caroline catches up to the mob but is restrained from her father from getting near. She has a mirror in hand and watches Daniel die through the mirror. Daniel’s hateful soul is now held in the mirror after his death and Caroline gives birth to the baby; a daughter.

In modern day the Candyman tale is an urban legend; you say the word “Candyman” in a mirror five times and then his spirit comes to the physical world and kills you. His ghost now wields a rusty hook where his right hand once was. The more you do not believe in him the more of a chance he has in showing up. Before he appears physically one will notice bees starting to arrive.

Throughout the series the ghost of Daniel Robitaille proceeds to hunt down his descendants, mostly the females, so that he can claim their souls to be joined together in the afterlife.

Movies:
Candyman (1992)
Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh (1995)
Candyman 3: Day of the Dead (1999)

Oh yeah, Tony Todd (Candyman) is awesome.
Now just say 'Candyman' in a mirror 5x and tell me what happened.

3. Chucky from the "Child's Play" Series

Name: Chucky
Human Name: Charles Lee Ray aka “The Lake Shore Strangler”
Born: 1950 in Chicago, Illinois
Height: 5’9”
Doll Height: 2’4”
Portrayed By: Brad Dourif in all films

Charles Lee Ray was a serial killer who terrorized Chicago in the 1980s. He was named “The Lake Shore Strangler” by the press and he was interested in voodoo/witchcraft.

The police close in on Charles Lee Ray and they engage in a shoot-out. Charles then breaks into a toy store and he is mortally wounded inside. Knowing he is dying he manages to find a “My Buddy Doll” in which he transfers his soul into it upon his death. The doll’s name was Chucky.

Chucky gradually becomes more and more human; having the ability to talk in his human voice, move on his own, feel pain... but he cannot totally become human without a human soul.

The first person that he tells whom he really is is the person whose soul he has to claim. That person was a little boy named Andy Barclay who gets the doll as a birthday present.

The early series shows Chucky having many failed attempts in trying to take over Andy’s soul.

The series takes a more comedic tone in the later installments; some say it wasn’t too serious to begin with but it becomes a horror-comedy spoofing on pop culture and fame.

In the later series Chucky’s human girlfriend, Tiffany, steals the Chucky doll from police evidence so she can have it and brings it back to life. Chucky then kills her and transfers her soul into a doll.

Chucky and Tiffany then give birth to “two children”, a gender confused gentle son named Glen and a homicidal daughter named Glenda who even Chucky is afraid of.

Movies:

Child’s Play (1988)
Child’s Play 2 (1990)
Child’s Play 3 (1991)
Bride of Chucky (1998)
Seed of Chucky (2004)
