10 MORE Horror Movie Wishes That Went Horribly Wrong

it's often said that you should be

careful what you wish for and that's

definitely true if you happen to find

yourself in a horror movie where wishes

have a tendency to deliver anything but

the desired result as we've explored

previously horror movie characters who

make wishes usually don't end up getting

what they want at least not how they

want it so with that in mind I'm Ellie

with what culture here with 10 more

horror movie wishes that went horribly

wrong number 10 being able to speak in

the Gin

2021's low budget supernatural horror

the Gin revolves around a mute boy Dylan

Jacobs who moves to a new house and

discovers an old book with instructions

for summoning a gin that is a genie even

though the book flatly warns that the

Gin will grant wishes to users in a way

that results in unintended consequences

A desperate Dylan nevertheless wishes

via sign language to finally have a

voice Dylan certainly gets his wish

granted by film's end but it's

absolutely one he ultimately comes to

regret with every 5 of his being after

surviving a night of Torment at the

hands of the Gin in an attempt to test

his strength of will before granting the

wish Dylan indeed gains the ability to

speak but this ability is consequently

taken from his father Michael in the

movie's final moments a distraught Dylan

Comforts his wounded mute father and

begs the Jinn to return and undo His

Wish however with the Gin having

fulfilled his duty it returns to its

book leaving Dylan to deal with the

horrific Fallout of his botched wish

number nine bringing her friends back to

life in All Cheerleaders Die the aptly

titled All Cheerleaders Die revolves

around a group of cheerleaders who are

killed in a car accident before being

resurrected by their friend Lena using

wicker magic what at first appears to be

a miraculous Revival is soon enough

revealed to be anything but the girls

have in fact come back as ravenous

zombies who must Feast on human flesh oh

and most of their personalities have

changed in wildly toxic ways it's

certainly not what Lena envisioned when

she carried out the incantation in turn

causing a substantial body count and all

but one of the cheerleaders ending up

Dead Again by film's end though Lena

seems to get something of a happy ending

when she reconciles with her ex the one

surviving cheerleader Maddie the

sequel-baiting Stinger more or less puts

the kibosh on that as Lena and Maddie

kiss Lena's magic inadvertently

resurrects one final cheerleader Alexis

who appears to be very very angry with

Lena about it the end number eight

wishing her mother would die in pie

wacket pie wacket follows a black magic

obsessed teenager Leah who following her

father's death is forced to move to a

remote house with her grieving mother an

intense argument between the two sees

Leah head out into the nearby woods and

wish for her mother's death eventually

performing a ritual to summon the demon

pie racket to kill her it doesn't take

long for Leah to regret this though she

soon enough starts getting on better

with her mother forcing Leah to figure

out a way to stop the demon Leah's

attempt to perform a ritual to undo the

curse is interrupted when payback it

deceptively assumes the form of her

mother when Leah's actual mother returns

home later Leah is convinced she's

really the demon in Disguise and so

douses Herring gasoline before setting

her on fire killing her in the final

scene Leah is being interviewed by the

police about the fire and she realizes

that in fact she burned her own mother

to death while trying to defeat the

demon her wish came true in the most

horrifying self-fulfilling manner

possible and long after she regretted

making it number seven trying to

resurrect Chucky in Bride of Chucky

Bride of Chucky begins with Chucky's

former lover Tiffany Valentine taking

possession of the Chucky doll's gruesome

remains stitching him back together and

performing a voodoo ritual which she

believes will resurrect him so they can

be together again the ritual indeed

brings Chucky back as a doll but after a

short-lived harmonious reunion the pair

come to blows When Tiffany learns that

Chucky never intended to marry her prior

to his death Tiffany responds by locking

Chucky in a playpen only for him to

escape and murder her by throwing a TV

in the bathtub and electrocuting her the

piece to resistance though Chucky then

enacts the voodoo ritual to transport

her soul into the Bride doll she

mockingly bought so she can feel his

anguish of being trapped in a doll

unsurprisingly Tiffany isn't thrilled

about living as a doll and spends the

rest of the movie teeming with Chucky to

find human vessels to transfer their

souls back into number six saving her

pregnant sister in absentia Mike

Flanagan's indie horror Absentia sees a

pregnant woman Trisha struggling to deal

with the reappearance of her husband

after a seven year absence and how it

relates to a mysterious tunnel which

seems to be responsible for The

Disappearance of many local people at

film's end Trisha and her younger sister

Callie are attacked by a monster

seemingly residing within the tunnel

walls resulting in Trisha also

disappearing Cali later returns to the

tunnel to offer The Entity a trade

wishing to lay down her life in order to

save that of her pregnant sister however

because Cali isn't specific about the

nature of the deal simply shouting trade

the creature responds by materializing

Trisha's bloody fetus and when Cali

attempts to flee the tunnel the monster

claims her also leaving behind only her

shoe in attempting to make a bargain

with the creature Cali only ensured that

both herself and her pregnant sister

ended up trapped in the tunnel with the

entity forevermore

what a bummer number five wishing their

fantasies came true in hobgoblins

1988's low budget comedy horror

hobgoblins may be largely remembered as

a frankly terrible Gremlins rip-off but

it's also entirely concerned with the

notion that your wildest fantasies might

not be so great in reality especially if

they're brought to life by the titular

creatures basically the hobgoblins will

make the dreams of anyone they encounter

come true but their news said dreams to

kill them case in point the movie opens

with a security guard accidentally

Awakening the hobgoblins and suddenly

imagining himself as a rock star but he

ends up falling off the stage to his

death as for the movie's Central

characters Amy wishes to be less

sexually repressed and become a stripper

leading to her very nearly having sex

with a nightclub's gross bouncer while

under the hobgoblin's control until her

friends save her then Nick becomes a

brave Commando only to get set on fire

after jumping on a grenade yet bizarrely

he returns later in the film with only

superficial injuries eventually actually

the heroes do triumph over the

hobgoblins and come to appreciate

there's no magic shortcuts to getting

what you want number four all of

estrella's wishes in tigers are not

afraid the terrific genre bending crime

fantasy horror film tigers are not

afraid centers around a young Mexican

girl Estrella who is given three pieces

of chalk Each of which will grant her

one wish unfortunately though not one of

the wishes turns out how poor Estrella

intends first off she wishes for her

disappeared mother imply to be a victim

of cartel violence to return yet she

only comes back as a ghost for her

second wish after being tasked with

killing a cartel member she sneaks into

his apartment with a gun and wishes that

she doesn't have to kill him in an

instant he dies suddenly of his own

accord without her needing to do the

deed and finally Street orphans shine

our sister Ella to use her third wish to

remove the burn scars on his face though

she initially refuses after the negative

outcomes of both prior wishes she

eventually relents at film's end at

which point Crime Boss Chino suddenly

shows up and shoots shine in the face

killing him yeah after the first two

wishes went so horribly awry it was

probably time to quit don't you think

number three bringing her son back to

life in death dream

Bob Clark's 1974 cult horror film death

stream is unabashedly inspired by w w

Jacob's short story the monkey's paw

which of course revolves around wishes

which have unintended consequences the

movie begins with American Soldier Andy

Brooks dying in the Vietnam War but his

grief-stricken mother Christine

categorically refuses to accept his

death and wishes for him to return and

then inexplicably shows up at the family

home in the middle of the night the

family relieved at an apparent clerical

error reporting his demise no matter

that Andy claims that he was indeed dead

as it turns out Andy has come back as a

supernatural Revenant not unlike a

vampire or zombie who needs to inject

himself with the blood of others to keep

his decaying body operational this leads

to many deaths including the suicide of

Andy's own father after he sees what has

become of his son before Andy finally

wastes away to nothing in a graveyard

and his mother is left grieving over his

rotted remains was it really worth it

Christine number two wishing her dad was

dead in in the outing

1987's cult B movie The outing revolves

around an ancient lamp which contains a

malevolent gin and a bracelet which when

worn will grant the wearer's wish when

the lamp and bracelet end up in the

possession of her archaeologist's father

teenager Alex Wallace sneakily tries the

bracelet on and following an argument

tells her father that she sometimes

wishes he was dead yeah you can probably

see where this is going right first and

foremost though this enables the Jinn to

possess Alex and embark on a brutal

Killing Spree at the Natural History

Museum where her father Works after

Alex's friends have been killed by the

Gin her father realizes what's happening

and races to the museum to save her and

just as she wished he ends up paying a

fatal price for it Alex's father is

killed by the Jinn and the Jinn then

uses his corpse in an attempt to trick

Alex who didn't see her father die Alex

figs out the ruse however and finally

banishes the Gin by throwing the lamp

into an incinerator all the same maybe

just leave ancient trinkets alone yeah

number one witnessing the merman in The

Cabin in the Woods well not a wish in

the strictest most magical sense The

Cabin in the Woods Steve Hadley a

technician at the mysterious facility

where the world saving rituals are

carried out makes several references

throughout the film to the merman he's

never seen Steve's always wanted to see

a merman show up during one of the

rituals and murder the new Bal teenagers

yet despite his long tenure he's never

seen it appear and seems deeply

disappointed by this enough to bring it

up quite a few times but Steve certainly

gets his Desire by film's end when the

facility's Menagerie of creatures are

all let loose resulting in a massacre

this includes the merman which slithers

up to an injured Steve amid the chaos

and promptly murders him hilariously

Steve even plainly appreciates the irony

of his situation saying oh come on in

the moments before the merman brutally

ends him and that concludes our list let
