Could an Expendables type movie succeed...... As a horror flick?

[RajWatts]

with horror its more about the characters than the actors so it really dont matter whos in the role. freddy vs. jason flopped. alien vs predator did aite..but there arent that many timeless characters in horror besides freddy jason and michael. what else could they do?

That being said, I'd be down for a Chucky vs. Leprechaun flick

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

The plot would be so stupid for them to all come together and work with each other i don't see it working...talk about overkill tho, can't go to sleep cuz when u do Freddy is waiting but then when u are awake u gotta watch out for Jason, Michael Myers, Chucky, Pinhead, Candyman,etc....nikka wouldn't stand a chance.

Btw they had a shot at doing this in Freddy vs Jason. After they initially fight each other i thought Freddy could have asked Jason to be his right hand killing machine(but more like his lap dog doing his dirty work)...but there would be no reason for it. Its easy to do the Expendables cuz we talkin bout the actors teaming up...the horror characters themselves wouldn't ever team-up in a plot that wouldn't throw out the fact that these nikkas just kill everybody and don't even have real reasons why lol. Add to all that the fact that none of these bastids can truly die(ie the end of Freddy vs Jason) and while i agree the movie could technically be made i personally think the plot would be garbage....but then again aren't all horror movie plots garbage just for the sake of the violence and body count

Ya know what....it could work and nikkas would pay to see it.

Cant forget the titties....gots to have titties baby

Why didn't we ever get Freddy vs. Jason 2?

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

I think the failure of Freddy vs Jason makes a lot of people not want to see any more horror cross-overs... but I can imagine Freddy Kruger teaming with the Jigsaw Killer and Pinhead would be an ill combination.

Freddy vs Jason was a failure?



When I went and saw that shyt, the theater was PACKED.They had to call security on this one dude because he couldn't find a seat for him and his two daughters.He paid for his tickets, but because some people had snuck in, him and his daughters didn't have anywhere to sit.


That nikka was snapping " I know one of you muthafukkahs got my seats" The theater manager came in with a flash light asking to see everybody's ticket stub, but they didn't do a thorough enough job because they couldn't figure out who snuck in.


It was fukked up because that was the last showing of the day.They offered dude a refund and free snack coupons, but he wasn't having it.Dude went ham.nikka bellowed out in the most emotional tone "I DON'T WANT NO GOTDAMN REFUND" and tossed his popcorn about 20 ft into the air...sprinkled the whole first couple of rows like confetti.Nobody did nothing because dude was clearly crazy and clearly ripped.He looked like he'd just got out the pen.He was wearing those denim 501 jeans they give dudes in prison and a wife beater.Picture Tookie Williams


One of the top 3 most packed movie theaters I've ever been in.


The most packed was the first Spiderman.....after that, The Avengers

It could, but it couldn't take it self too seriously. It would have to embrace the absurdity of it all and just tell a good story and make sense of all the crossing over it would be doing. Then they would just have to hope it was scary, but even if it wasn't, as long as the story was good, it would be a hit. Do that and then add a few scary "sudden pop up out of nowhere" scenes and I'm ass in seat day 1.

It could be the all them get trapped in the pinhead box. Then a little kid comes and releases them. The setting could be some semi-small town but it would have to have a lot of bodies to get murked.

Let Rob Zombie and John Carpenter direct it

Freddy vs Jason wasn't a flop; it cost about $30 million to make, had an opening weekend take of $36 million and its total box office take was around $115 million worldwide.
I think the reason no sequel was made was because the studios saw the success of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot (it came out a few months after FvJ) and started counting dollar signs with reboots of the individual franchises instead of pushing forward with the crossover movies.

 

[Ooh Marty]

Ive had this exact same idea wayyyyyy before Expendables came out. My monsters will be Jeepers Creepers, Michael, The Red Demon from Insidious, and The GOAT Freddy of course.

I will also love for a thriller/slash film to be made with the most infamous killers i.e. Norman Bates, The little girl from the Orphan, Leatherface, and Jason.

It would be shyt, mainly because of all these horror goons, would end up gettin murked by some ho like they did in their repective films. And whos gunan believe that some random blouse and skirt is able to kill all these super goons unless shes on some Jean Gray shyt

thats the key right there, add some sci-fi shyt into an already supernatural based set

 

[Pool_Shark]

Dude then you could make the ultimate crossover

Expendables vs The Avengers vs Horror Goons
