Creepy Tattoo Ideas: Horror Classics
When inked in the appropriate style and executed by an experienced tattoo artist, spooky horror tattoo ideas have the potential to become truly amazing pieces. Consider the evil charms of these scintillating subjects when selecting your next work of body art!
Camp Crystal Lake’s JASON VOORHEES!
The maniacal, knife-swinging, mask-sporting slasher fiend, Jason Vorhees, has appeared in a slew of Friday the 13th sequels and spin-offs as a man consumed by the passionate urge to kill — and kill with gory pizazz. He makes no exceptions for teens with attractive and/or exposed physical “assets,” and his Lamaze-like breathing is instantly recognizable. Jason’s signature hockey mask and blood-covered blade cemented their status as undeniable Halloween costume staples long before the 2003 release of Freddy vs Jason attempted to hammer the J-Man’s name and persona back into our horror-loving brains.
Elm Street’s FREDDY KRUEGER!
In 1984, the incomparable Wes Craven unleashed his now-iconic horror baddie “Fred Krueger” in the cinema classic A Nightmare On Elm Street. Starring Robert Englund as the eerily upbeat, claw-wielding maniac, the film received much critical acclaim, as well as a number of prestigious horror and film-festival awards and nominations. Nightmare’s takes on psychotic villainy and frighteningly lucid dreaming have earned the movie — and the intriguingly off-putting Freddy — a permanent place inside the hearts of cinema lovers across the nation and beyond.
Haddonfield, IL’s MICHAEL MYERS!
The infamous Michael Myers began his bad guy career at the tender age of 6; he stabbed his 17-year-old sister, Judith, to death and spent the following 15 years locked-down in a nearby town — institutionalized. In 1978’s Halloween, Michael manages to make a violent escape from the mental institution’s custody and heads immediately for his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois with an insane thirst for cold-blooded stabbing goodness. Michael’s psychiatrist, Dr. Loomis, must launch a one-man effort to save the blissfully ignorant citizens of Haddonfield from his patient’s insatiable bloodlust.
Various Films’ ZOMBIE LEGIONS!
Zombies: We’re all familiar with their rotting flesh, tattered clothing, unkempt hair and burning desire to consume untold quantities of human brains. Sometimes they sprint around like Olympic athletes, other times they stagger and wobble mindlessly about — but they’ll never abandon that age-old quest for their favorite squishy, gray sustenance! Commemorate the zombie’s lifelong pursuit of that perfect Brain Sundae with Almonds; have an epic undead battle tattooed across your tummy. (You know you wanna!)
