Horror Prequels We Need to See 

With all of the sequels, reboots, and “requels” we been getting these days come maybe probably the most prolific follow-up of all: prequels. These days, we’ve been seeing A LOT of these – to variable levels of success. Orphan: First Kill is plenty of enjoyable, nevertheless it has points. The Cabin Fever prequel from years in the past is best left up to now, and the Leatherface prequel continues to be splitting followers within the adore it and hate it camps. Nevertheless, the Predator prequel Prey is getting rave reviews and most followers appear to adore it. These are just some and we’ve far more coming quickly together with Furiosa, a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Highway, and Pearl, a prequel for X that was shot back-to-back with its authentic. With these two and some extra arising that look actually good, what are the horror prequels we need to see? 

Alien LV-426 

Set after the occasions in Alien and earlier than Aliens, this movie would present the lives of the parents despatched to LV-426 to terraform it. It will begin with them being despatched to this new planet, stuffed with hope. The film may present them settling in, working, even perhaps paying homage to the little bits of footage of that life seen in Aliens. Then quickly after, simply when issues look peaceable, one thing crashes on the planet or reveals up from a cave. It’s not seen at first as a result of that’s principally the signature for Alien movies. Trace at the truth that the Queen in search of a means into the human buildings. Possibly she finds an air vent, will get in, after which stalks the inhabitants, taking a couple of right here and there, leaving a path of chest bursters. The movie can simply not present another xenomorphs till the very finish when a Queen is seen going again within the vent as a ship lands with Bishop overheard speaking to them. After all, name-dropping Newt right here isn’t a nasty concept. They’ll present her dad and mom in search of her and possibly even depict how her people ended up in the identical space as all of the others, with Alien eggs close by, a bit like within the first movie. 

Spaulding and Fam 

This might be a prequel to Home of 1000 Corpses following a youthful Capt. Spaulding and his household, together with Ma Firefly, Otis, Child, Winslow Foxworth Coltrane, Tiny and some others. The story may give attention to their rise to infamy, present how Child was a psychopath from early on, how Otis was a messed-up teenager/younger man. Present that the household has at all times been killing folks, with Dr. Devil’s affect on all of them. Make this movie about them and never concerning the victims as a lot as in Home of 1000 Corpses. It must be brutal, bloody and violent. Make them earn their status and have a really excessive physique depend. Even perhaps present the Homicide Journey being put along with some “actual” corpses.

Hostel: Slaughterhouse 

This one is a little bit of a attain, nevertheless it nonetheless might be tons of enjoyable when it comes to horror and gore. Take the character performed by Miike Takashi, seen for a complete of about 1 minute on display within the authentic and provides him a complete film. Use his line “you possibly can spend ALL you cash… in there” as a tagline, and from there, the movie can develop this mysterious Japanese businessman (or maybe he isn’t a businessman in any respect) travelling the world, going from slaughterhouse to slaughterhouse. You could possibly observe his victims somewhat and see them die in horrific methods. Then have glimpses of his different life, residing the lifetime of a married man with youngsters and grandkids, travelling to family-friendly places, attending faculty performs, and going about as regular of a life as doable. After all, this could require both a person who seems to be like Miike or Miike himself to return again. The character is usually a man of only a few phrases, making him nearly mute, only a fast line right here and there, however nothing that provides an excessive amount of away about him apart from the glimpses of his common life. This one could be set simply earlier than the primary Hostel or span a few years earlier than that story, exhibiting how far again the group goes. The character being a bit older permits the prequel to go fairly far again. After all, ideally, Eli Roth would come again to direct as these movies are his, and the third one directed by another person is best left forgotten. 

Monster Squad: Earlier than the Squad 

Set a couple of a long time earlier than the unique Monster Squad, this movie is the origin of Scary German Man, completely primarily based on the truth that he is aware of lots about monsters, and it’s introduced up within the authentic film with out a lot of a proof. The movie can begin with a shot of his home from the unique, then de-age the home and roll again time till we attain this man in his 30s with a spouse and a few youngsters. He’d be first seen doing homework with one child, telling a bedtime story to the opposite, doing stuff an excellent dad would do. Then, have one thing, a shadow come and get rid of or kidnap his household. Then, he should look inside himself, pull from his household’s previous (maybe a Van Helsing connection?) and do as a lot analysis on monsters as he can earlier than setting off to avoid wasting his household. This might result in him assembly a slew of various monsters and finally a grasp for these beings – somebody who pulls the strings of evil and forces the monsters to do his bidding in a method or one other. This needs to be pretty family-friendly and have some humor, in fact, nevertheless it also needs to have some genuinely scary moments.

Chromeskull: Starting 

This might be a troublesome one to make with out the late Rob Corridor’s involvement, however the correct expertise may pull from his creation and provides Chromeskull a backstory. On this prequel, Chromeskull can be seen starting his killing spree. We’d see a couple of kills with out the digicam, then the addition of an older digicam, a couple of extra kills, then the digicam we’re all used to reveals up – however handheld, not preferrred. Finally, after a couple of extra kills, the digicam will get mounted to his shoulder after he will get damage throughout a kill to liberate his hand. After all, the accident disfigures him and results in him carrying a masks. His kills needs to be messy at first,, as we see him ply his murderous craft. As he hones his abilities, the group behind him from the second movie could be seen watching over him, serving to him get to the extent he needs to be as a killer. This might simply result in a much-expanded universe with a complete group of killers educated by him and residing within the Chromeskull world followers know and love. The primary aim listed below are to get in loads of kills and loads of blood. We’d climax with him getting disfigured, then finish with him carrying the masks from the primary movie. After all, Nick Principe must come again, together with the correct folks to put in writing and direct, which isn’t any straightforward feat. It may even perhaps result in Chromeskull: Exhumed, lastly seeing the sunshine of day. 

The Misplaced Boys: David 

This nearly occurred years in the past with Eric Crimson and Joel Schumacher, so maybe Crimson may come again along with his script and convey David’s backstory to the massive display. Getting the casting good can be important. There isn’t a means that Kiefer Sutherland can play a younger David anymore until large CGI is concerned, however that wouldn’t really feel proper. So, the right casting of David can be the beginning of all the things, then the remainder of the solid can be important too. As Edward Herrmann is not with us and can’t be enjoying Max, maybe preserving him off-screen in most interactions or his vamped-out type may assist create a good way so as to add thriller round him and the query of whether or not or not he was David’s creator. Additionally, not understanding how lengthy David has been a vampire leaves plenty of room for creativity. He may simply have been created within the Fifties, being a greaser or one thing alongside these strains earlier than getting turned and adapting to the fashion of every decade as they move to be higher capable of appeal to new youths into Max’s clutches. The story right here may go in so many various instructions, bringing all of the misplaced boys collectively or specializing in David alone. The movie may begin with him as a human, residing his life and happening trip to Santa Carla someday along with his dad and mom, assembly one other teen, being lured in, changing into a vamp and climaxing in his first kill and style of blood, and the way he fell completely in love with the approach to life, leaving his dad and mom behind in search of their lacking son. 

These are simply a few our concepts for horror prequels we need to see. What are yours? Which beloved, and even lesser-known, horror movie would you need to see a prequel for?
