10 Horror Short Villains Who Deserve Their Own Movies

5. The Stylist

Another entry wherein our villain isn't your standard, clear cut villain. We've no ghoul or ghost or monster here, just a woman working as a stylist. Okay, to be fair, she scalps people sometimes when it takes her fancy, but who hasn't had a hankering for some scalping at a party every now and then?

Anyway, The Stylist feels like it cuts off (get it?) before we get any sort of satisfactory explanation as to why the titular character does what she does. It's certainly hinted towards the end of the film that the reason is to do with her own unhappiness in regards to her appearance, but it would be great to see this character's background and psyche fleshed out a bit more.

If this were to be done then The Stylist could potentially become a meditation and analysis of body image issues and body dysmorphia, albeit in truly gruesome goddamn fashion that is.

Johnny sat by the fire, idly swirling his brandy, flicking through the pages of War and Peace, wondering whether it was pretentious to write his bio in the third person.
