10 Horror Movie Icons Who Are Incredibly Emo

Horror movie characters? Emo? It's more likely than you think... Here's a list of the ten most emo horror icons, with in-depth character analysis of their super-emo traits.

 

predator10. The Predator

How is the Predator emo? Well, for one thing, the Predator in the original movie sure as hell spends a lot of time by himself, hiding in trees, watching people from a distance. This is pretty much the vicious vagina-mouthed alien from another planet's version of an emo teenager's bedroom. Being that he's an alien, he must be feeling pretty lonely on this planet, especially since everyone is really annoyed with him for simply doing his job. I mean, he's a predator. He doesn't mean to kill off everyone in his path, it's just all he knows. Kind of like how emo kids end up alienated simply for being themselves.

 

And then there's the bleeding. In every Predator movie, the Predator or Predators spend a lot of time just bleeding all over the place. Admittedly, they're bleeding from war wounds, but ever see an emo kid get beaten up? There's usually some blood. And let's not even talk about the howling and crying when a Predator has a wound to heal... come on, emo kids cry less when someone forces a bottle of peroxide on them. Welcome to emo-ville, Predator. Now go cry some more.

 

jason09. Jason Voorhees

Here's Jason's story: as a weird-looking outcast kid, he was picked on and beaten up at camp. He drowned as a result of the bullying he faced while inconsiderate camp counselors ignored the situation to get their horny teenage rocks off. Most modern-day emo kids can recall their school/camp days as being full of similar torture, only without the whole drowning thing. And while some of the early Friday The Thirteenth movies muck around a bit with Jason's story, let's just skip to the iconic Jason in a hockey mask with a machete. He's a lot bigger and burlier than most emo kids, but he's still incredibly emo. How?

 

01. He didn't just come back from the dead; he came back from the dead to cut people.

 

02. Being challenged in the follicle department, Jason can't have emo hair. So how does he hide his face? With a hockey mask. To further earn some emo points, he manages to pull off the "hide one eye with asymmetrical bangs" thing by simply not having one eye. That alone makes him the most badass emo kid ever - even more so than Pete Wentz, king of the random fistfight.
