SOME OF HORRORâS MOST MYSTERIOUS CHARACTERS
Not every horror movie character gets a back story. Here are just some of the few that weâve met in passing.
âItâ (It Follows, 2015)
One of the most mysterious characters to appear in recent horror cinema. What is this thing? A physical manifestation of a curse? Where does it come from, and why does it use sex to kill itâs victims?
Is Suzy just a doll, or something more? Thereâs hints to the latter, but itâs never made perfectly clear. Does she have a sinister connection to May? If so, what is it?
âThe strangerâ (The Eyes Of My Mother, 2016)
Iâve never seen a character thatâs introduced on-screen by his psychotic laughter (which absolutely sets the tone). This lunatic appears to aimlessly wander along on foot in search of victimsâŠultimately preying on, perhaps, not the most ideal.
âBillyâ (Black Christmas, 1974)
Deranged phone calls, killing rampageâŠcheck. But who is Billy? Does he suffer from multiple personality disorder? Where did this guy come from?
âAsamiâ (Audition, 1999)
Asami is anything but sweet and innocent. But who is she really? What led her to become this methodically-sadistic killer that Shigeharu falls prey to?
âSamâ (Trick âr Treat, 2008)
Does Sam use the formalities of Halloween as cover for one night of mass killing? Or is he literally the incarnation of Halloween altogether?
âThingâ (The Thing, 1982)
It mimics to survive, is intelligent enough to build itâs own ship for travelâŠbut thatâs about all we know. Just how ancient is it? Where did it come from? What are itâs origins? (Cue The Thing âoriginsâ movie.)
âTaxi manâ (Triangle, 2009)
Introduced during a poignant moment in the film (with dark music score to boot), some theorize this strange figure is the devil himself, awaiting to make a sinister deal with Jess. Possible?
âJane Doeâ (The Autopsy Of Jane Doe, 2016)
Unearthed from beneath the house of a slaughtered family, Jane is the quintessential âmysterious horror characterâ. Unable to communicate, itâs only Janeâs body which holds the sinister clues about her past, and of those that fought to stop her.
