10 Horror Characters That Appeared Outside Their Own Movies

10. Pennywise - Space Jam: A New Legacy

Space Jam: A New Legacy could be defined as a horror, in the sense that it bloodily mutilated several of Warner Bros' beloved franchises in one fell swoop.

This follow-up to the 1996 original put LeBron James in the shoes of Michael Jordan as the basketball star sucked into the world of cartoons. Although, in the 90s, the words "Cinematic Universe" hadn't been uttered yet and the world was a better place.

Because of course they did, Warner took this opportunity to cram as many of the other IPs that it owned into this movie as possible. By setting it in the "Serververse", the company could get in cameos by The Iron Giant, The Flintstones, Rick and Morty, and many, many more.

Horror icons also weren't immune to this gross corporate synergy. Pennywise from It even makes a very brief appearance in the film's trailer, standing just to the right of Don Cheadle's character.

In the actual movie, Beetlejuice and the Gremlins also show up to join the fun.

If it came down to watching this jumbled carwreck and jumping down into a storm drain, we'd take our chances with the clown every day of the week.
