Mr. Babadook

First appearance: The Babadook (2014)

Amelia's having a hard time raising her son, born the same day her husband died. Her son's kinda weird and likes making weapons to defend her from monsters. One night her son asks if he can choose the storybook for bedtime reading and hands his mom a mysterious red pop-up book called MR. BABADOOK. She has no idea where the book came from and it's creepy. Really creepy.
suddenly mysterious things start happening around the house and her son blames The Babadook.
Things get worse from there.
Where did the book come from? Is there a way to stop The Babadook?

The movie's got a reputation of being the scariest movie ever, but it may not be the movie you're expecting. It's really good, but I don't think I'd call it scary.

What is the Void?

First appearance: The Void (2016?)

There's a movie being made called "The Void" from the guys who made "Manborg."
The difference between "Manborg" and "The Void" is "The Void" is going to be terrifying. You can help make the Void even more terrifying by donating some money so they can make more monsters for the movie. Check out their Indie-Go-Go campaign, and give generously. The world needs more Terrifying Monster movies. While I know the guys making the movie, I am not involved personally and only wish to see them accomplish this crazy flick.

Michael

First appearance: Burial Ground (1980)

An archeologist does something somewhere while digging and then there's zombies. Three other couples, one of which brings their creepy "Kid", Michael (played by then 26-year-old Peter Bark) to the house the archeologist stayed and they get attacked by the zombies. Supposedly there's some kinda prophesy foretelling this or something.

WEIRD Italian zombie flick everyone should see at least once. You will never forget Michael, no matter how hard you try.

Roy Burns

First appearance: Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985)

A few years after Tommy Jarvis "killed" Jason Voorhees he finds himself committed to a halfway house for troubled teens. Shortly after his arrival people start dying. Does Jason Live? Is Tommy nuts? Is it one of the other troubled teens? Could it be the father of that one kid who got killed by one of the other troubled teens?
The first Friday the 13th to not take place at Camp Crystal Lake. Also the one with the highest body count up to that point and the most nudity. Also my least favorite of the series.

Vladislav, Viago, Petyr and Deacon


First appearance: What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
An excellent documentary about a group of Vampires sharing a flat in New Zealand.
One of my favourite movies from 2014.
I know I've posted Viago before but I really wanted to make sure his flatmates were represented.

Reggie

First appearance: Phantasm (1979)

A Fifth Phantasm film was announced recently so I felt the urge to draw the world's most bad ass Ice cream man.
If you've never heard of Phantasm, check out my Monstar of the film's iconic villain "The Tall Man" for details.

Here's the Phantasm V teaser trailer:
