10 Horror Movie Wishes That Went HORRIBLY Wrong

5. Wishmaster

Wish Upon
Pierre David

Having got past doorman Johnny Valentine (see previous Wishmaster entry), The Wishmaster ends up at a party hosted by Raymond Beaumont, played by Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund.

Beaumont wishes for his party to be a memorable one. He was probably thinking of Stephen Fry in one corner regaling the guests with amusing tales, maybe Bill Murray in another being Bill Murray. Randy Newman rocks up for a bit and knocks out a song or two on the piano. You know the kind of thing?

While his wish certainly does come true, it's probably best remembered by the crime scene investigators who arrived after than any of the actual guests.

Upon Beaumont making his wish, the party descends into bloody mayhem as his various sculptures and statues and paintings come to life and begin a murderous rampage. One lady quips that her gentleman friend can see right through her when she turns to glass and explodes. Firing shards of herself into anyone nearby.

Even the piano strings from Beaumont's baby grand gain sentience enough to garotte (and decapitate) one of the unfortunate guests.
