And you don't consider Babadook to be an icon like Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Jigsaw, Michael etc.? and how about The Creeper, Captain Splauding, Sam from Trick R Treat etc.?
Well it apparently is and is a foreign horror film character icon and one of the new horror icons with the Nun, Annabelle and Babyface, it's something different than the same ones i've already seen and trying to create their own horror icons and they are giving it an effort.
And i enjoyed Babadook for being something completely different outside the mainstream as i support independent and foreign horror genres and would sometimes say "**** the mainstream". One of my favorite films of 2014 and is something different.
Although mainstream horror has surprised me lately with potential new franchises like A Quiet Place as i support it! and other stuff like Overlord, Conjuring 1 and 2, Get Out and a few others.
I'm just tired of the same horror icons (Freddy, Jigsaw, Ghostface, Pinhead, Leatherface etc.) and their dead franchises as they should rest in peace, i just want something new and different. Making new horror icons would actually work because there are no ideas to bring in for most horror icons. New horror icons may get all the hate, but it may take time before the newer ones would actually get praise.
I mean if someone wants something different than the same old icons and their dead franchises, check out something like The Collector and The Collection which i think are 2 great films that are independent films and well made films and they are something different outside the mainstream.
