10 More Horror Characters That Appeared Outside Their Own Movies

10. Billy The Puppet - Scary Movie 4

Advertised as the "final chapter of the trilogy", Scary Movie 4 brought this series of comedy parodies of beloved horror franchises to a close.

This movie, which starred the likes of Anna Faris, Kevin Hart, and Leslie Nielsen, went one step further than homage, bringing in an actual horror legend to serve as a major antagonist.

The film opens with a familiar scene; two men chained to a wall in a creepy room somewhere. Only this time, the men in question are basketball superstar, Shaquille O'Neal, and daytime TV legend, Dr. Phil.

As the two ponder their situation, a TV screen bursts into life, revealing their captor to be none other than Billy the Puppet from the Saw franchise.

Usually the calling card of John Kramer, Billy is now the main man, instructing his two celebrity prisoners to saw off their feet before the room they're in fills with toxic gas. Dr. Phil obliges, but ends up sawing the wrong foot off by mistake.

Oh how we laughed.

Billy was a great addition to this franchise and it was nice to see him take centre stage. If only Scary Movie 4 had reviewed better.
