10 Awesome Characters Trapped In TERRIBLE Horror Movies
2. Doom-Head - 31
Rob Zombie is absolutely an acquired taste among horror fans, though 2016's 31 is surely one of his worst films to date - a surprisingly tepid slasher movie riff on The Running Man that's also hampered by headache-inducing shaky cam.
The saving grace, however, is the film's ultimate antagonist, Doom-Head (Richard Brake) - a not-so-subtle riff on The Joker who is brought to skin-crawling life by veteran character actor Richard Brake.
Though Doom-Head's appearances throughout the film are sadly sporadic, he's the single memorable, well-executed part of an otherwise sloppy horror flick.
Zombie clearly wanted to give his film an iconic mascot villain, and he certainly succeeded even if the movie surrounding Doom-Head is really quite dreadful.
It's a shame 31 was both a critical and commercial dud, as Doom-Head's distinct look and Brake's extremely committed performance made him an awe-striking villain ripe for his own franchise.
