Freddy Krueger is a character from Wes’ Cravens classic horror film ‘A Nightmare on Elmstreet’. Freddy is introduced in ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ as a child killer who is eventually discovered and captured by the law, but escapes legal prosecution due to the police illegally entering his home. He is hunted down by a mob of angry parents, and cornered in a boiler room where he used to take his victims. The mob douses the building with gasoline and sets it on fire, burning Krueger alive. While his body dies, his spirit lives on in the dreams of a group of teenagers living in his old neighborhood, whom he preys on by entering their dreams and killing them. His skin is scarred and burned as a result of being burned alive by the parents of Springwood, and he has no hair at all on his head as it presumably all burned off. In the original film, only Freddy's face was burned, while the scars have spread to the rest of his body from the second film onwards. His blood is occasionally a dark, oily color, or greenish in hue when he is in the Dream world.

 

Lecter's eyes are a shade of maroon, and reflect the light in "pinpoints of red". He has small white teeth and dark, slicked-back hair with a widow's peak. He also has a keen sense of smell; in ‘The Silence of the Lambs’, he is able to identify through a plate glass window the brand of perfume that Starling wore the day before. He has an eidetic memory and a fondness for the method of loci: he has constructed in his mind an elaborate "memory palace" with which he relives memories and sensations in rich detail.

 

Leatherface is a character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series and its spin-offs. He wears masks made of human skin (hence his name) and engages in murder and cannibalism, alongside his inbred family. What makes Leather face so scary is not only is his mask made of other peoples skin but his identity is completely hidden and so no one can tell who he iss. This character inspired our vision of the monster as you can see from the makeup we applied which portrayed a similar appearence of a disfugured face.

 

Jason Voorhees first appeared in the film Friday the 13th in 1980.

Seeking revenge for his mother's death, Jason returns to Camp Crystal Lake to slaughter the counselors one by one.

"You're doomed! You're all doomed!"

His costume is very worn and ripped with blood and dirt stains. Jason carries round a machete as his weapon. He wears a dirty mask to hide his identity which makes this character even more scary and sinister. The clothes of this character heavily inspired our monster character as we thought the worn ripped clothing made the character appear more sinister and old which is something we wanted to project in our own character.
