People are guessing Bubba Ho Tep with a little artistic freedom, not a cowboy hat but with a fedora.

It’s probably just an abstract reference to a few of the Nightmare films where Freddy’s chest if full of faces of the lost souls of children he’s killed.

It does sort of remind me of Hellraiser or Waxwork though.

The character is called Severen (played by the late Bill Paxton) from Near Dark: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093605/

Ah, The Collector, thank you! I knew it was something like that. It actually has an okay rating on IMDb, and if it’s on this collage with these legends, perhaps it’s worth a watch.

Mask guy is The Collector, as featured in the movies THE COLLECTOR (2009) and its sequel THE COLLECTION (2012).

It’s just on the tip of my tongue. I’m pretty sure it’s a new one, from like 2013 or 2014. Something like The Carver, The Cutter, or The Slasher…

A very generic, straight-to-the-point title like that.

You could be right in your theory mate but would love to know for sure. On a side note, the guy in the mask on the far right, I originally thought it was Dr. Decker from Nightbreed but seeing no zip on his mouth and no buttons for eyes I’m now sure it isn’t. Any idea who he is? Cheers again for your reply, it’s most helpful

I still think it’s Kane. But, I’d be happy and curious to find out different.

Anyway, my logic is this: this is a collage of monsters, killers, and villains. The little girl from Poltergeist certainly isn’t any of those things. In art, sometimes it’s very difficult to get an abstract idea across, and therefore you need to add additional details or symbols.

While Poltergeist and the TV scene are very iconic, Kane is pretty obscure, almost complete sub-text. I imagine the artist made the choice that it looked too generic, hence the dilemma we’re having now and decided to accompany it with something that would better help sell it.

But, maybe it’s House or Children of the Corn? Doubt it. Let me ask Martyn what he thinks.

Thanks for your reply. I’m not sure the artist has put 2 characters from the same film so I’m assuming that guy isn’t from Poltergeist. I’ve tried the links but still not found the answer

My first instinct was that that was “Kane” from Poltergeist, played by Julian Beck ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0065191/ ). Then, I noticed his proximity to the Poltergeist TV, so that’s most likely who it is.

However, you might have to go to the source and ask to get 100% confirmation:

Good luck. :)

It’s the guy between Re-Animator and The Shining. Has a kind of zombie face

Rather than go through listing them all, can you just point out which characters you’re unsure about? Thanks

I assume you mean this one: https://halloweenlove.com/images/posts/chris-labrenz-monster-mash.jpg ?

Which characters are you unsure about?

Could I get a full list of all the characters featured in the top collage please. There’s 1 or 2 I can’t recall. My email is kevnalex2002@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks, great work!
