10 Worst Dads In Horror Movie History
7. Nathan Grantham - Creepshow (Father's Day Segment)
It's Stephen King! He's back again, and he's proving that dads aren't always the joke-delivering, awkward-dancing goofballs people like them to be.
Creepshow is a killer horror anthology movie, and the first segment features a dad who was a nightmare from beyond the grave. Unlike King's last entry on this list - which presented a dark and frightening yet grounded father - this one is way at the other end of the scale. He's a cartoonishly repulsive dad who was so horrid his own daughter killed him with an ashtray. You've got to be doing something wrong if that happens, right?
Nathan Grantham was a cruel and mean old man who would yell at his daughter, abusing her verbally and always demanding things from her - including a cake on Father's Day, which he would excessively scream for. As if being overbearing and mean weren't enough, he also killed her fiancé.
Seeing as she took his life, you'd assume that'd be it, but no, his torment kept going, as the short segment showed as he rose from the grave and murdered the next generation of his family on the titular Father's Day. Now that's some terrible parenting, but at least he got his cake?
