History of Horror Hunks: 2020 Edition

The Pumpkin Carver

Given my love of Halloween, and of scary movies, horror hunks have been a frequent subject for me to post, and write about since the site's beginnings. My favorite horror movies include a dash of fear, a dash of male skin, and big dollop of camp. Sometimes, the lamer the movie, the more fun it is!  Researching so many horror hunks has also proven that it's not just young hot females that directors get naked before having them hacked, bludgeoned or butchered to death.

Below are some of my favorite posts from the last decade. 2015 was certainly my biggest year with a salute to Wes Craven who had died earlier that year.  Also check out 3 more Hunks of Horror on Page 2 HERE:

The Demon Butcher of Wall Street


If you haven't guessed already, today's theme is American Psycho.  More specifically, it's Patrick Bateman who's my focus, and the many men who've slipped on the see-through raincoat and bloodied up their white boxer briefs.

Although all Patrick Bateman's stem from the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis, it wasn't the novel, nor the 2000 film that directly spurred on today's theme.  My real interest in Bateman the character, stemmed from promotional images of Benjamin Walker from the 2016 Broadway adaptation.  I had saved a few images planning a future post on Walker.  A few months ago, I was reminded of that desktop folder after seeing two image of Mikey Maverick on Reddit.   As you can see, Mickey's costume is an eye catcher, and both of his tools are both impressive, and frightening in size...

With the current occupant int he White House horrifying much of the rest of the world, the book and main character has taken on an even broader meaning than even Ellis could have predicted.  Check out the next two pages full of a bunch of butchering Bateman's.  From the screen to the stage, and course given it's FH, some talented artists and models bringing their own creative take to the iconic character.

The Terrorizing Torontonian

 

'Matt channelled 'the actor' channelling the protagonist from American Psycho. As you can see Matt was able to draw upon his acting skills to portray a psychotic, yet sexy character.'


Some long time FH readers undoubtedly remember the site's 2011 first model search competition organized between FH and photographer Chris Teel.  The deserving winner was actor, dancer and model Matt Eldracher, and part of his prize was a shoot with Chris.  

One of the inspirations for their first shoots was Patrick Bateman, and Matt used his experience as an actor to fully commit to the character.  One of the things I especially liked about Matt's Bateman was his beautifully intense expression of torment.  I didn't feel bad for Bateman in the film, but there is a sadness and longing to the character that Matt and Chris so beautifully capture. Virtually return to 2011, and the original piece recently updated with images not featured when I originally posted.  Check out Canadian Carnage HERE:

Benjamin Walker in American Psycho: The Musical


'There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.'
Patrick Bateman
 

American Psycho: The Musical 
Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre 
Performances: 54 (Apr 21, 2016 - Jun 05, 2016) 


'No carcass is more spectacularly toned than Mr. Walker’s, which is just as well, since he spends much of the second act in nothing but (bloodstained, natch) tighty-whities. But it is made clear that he’s not just another pretty six-pack. (With his hair in a smooth 1950s Tony Randall cut, he suggests a Ken doll in a toy chest full of action figures.) Even more than Matt Smith, who originated the role in London, Mr. Walker presents Patrick as an insecure man who deeply needs to fit in and despises himself for doing so'
NewYork Times


I wasn't really that familiar with Benjamin Walker when I first saw promotional shots for his role in American Psycho: The Musical.  Those tighty whitie shots however, left an impression and I've seen seen a few of his movies.  The musical, adapted by Riverdale writer and creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa  from the book by Bret Easton Ellis began in London but soon made it's way to Broadway.
