10 Scrapped Horror Movie Monsters That Would Have Been Terrifying

10. The Skull Cowboy - The Crow

Alex Proyas' The Crow has become legendary in the years since its release for various reasons. Of course, there is the tragedy surrounding Brandon Lee's untimely death, but also the fact that it is a damn good cult classic that deserves recognition as such.

It goes without saying that the production was drastically altered by Lee's death, with the team deciding that the best thing to do would be to continue the film in his honour. One such change that had to occur was the omission of the Skull Cowboy.

Set to be portrayed by Michael Berryman, the character, whose aesthetic is really quite self-explanatory from the name, would have been incredibly creepy. Appearing as something of a mentor and guide to Lee's Eric Draven, the Skull Cowboy would have been largely expositional, reminding Draven and the audience of the rules, but quite a sight to behold regardless.

Since the scenes were yet to be filmed properly when Lee passed, the Skull Cowboy never made the final cut, but ultimately the movie didn't miss him, though the deleted scene is a fun and appropriately creepy watch all the same. Rupert Sanders' 2024 effort also left the character out, though the less said about that one, the better.
