1980s Horror Film Character Names

I totally forgot I’d started making this last year! I think I never posted it because I wanted to find more names, but there’s already a decent amount and I don’t feel like being that tedious about names right now lol.

It’s first & last names (separated for mix & match potential) of characters from iconic late 1970s & 1980s horror movies. I think I started looking for cheesier B-movies to pull from, but yeah it’s been a whole year so I forget.

The other women of the Addams family (1)

 I will not start chronologically with Chas Addams’ work this time - rather I will begin with the two iconic 90s Addams family movies.

LOIS ADDAMS

Sorry for the poor-quality image, it is the one used by the Addams Family Wiki and I couldn’t get a screenshot myself.

Lois Addams can be seen in the movie during the Fester’s ball/ Mamushka scene. She doesn’t have any line and isn’t even named - she is just one of the Addams guests, a very short woman with a brown/gold dress, played by Patty Maloney. But quite noticeably she is one of the Addams women that provide the tambourines for the Mamushka dance. 

We have a tiny bit more information about her in the script for the movie, in which we learn that she is named Lois Addams and that she is the “child-sized wife” of Slosh Addams. Due to her being a small woman and her husband being described as “toad-like”, I strongly believe they are supposed to be the movie’s version of the “wall-eyed couple” from Chas Addams original drawings (though Lois Addams clearly doesn’t look the slightest like the wall-eyed wife, beyond a simple question of size). 

“HEIDI”

I do not have any picture for her, but she is like Lois one of the guests at the Addams great ball, and one of the women that provide the percusions for the Mamushka - she is recognizable by her very long blond braids. Played by Victoria Hall in the movie, she is merely called the “Swedish Blonde” in the credits for the movie, but in the script we get a slightly more detailed description of her: she is actually the date of Digit Addams (a four-armed man), and described as an “over-age Heidi, with thick blonde braids”. Due to her not receiving any name and just being described as the date of a “proper” Addams, I believe she might not be born into the Addams... 

THE AMOR TWINS

Flora and Fauna Amor are... technically not part of the Addams Family, and yet still part of it. They have a clearly different last name, they are only involved romantically with Gomez and Fester (so unlike you believe the Addamses aren’t again dating distant cousins or far-away branches of the clan...). BUT on the other hand they are not just invited to Fester’s grand return ball, they are also present during Debbie’s wedding as guests, AND they are part of the tambourine-players for the Mamushka... And in the script is is pretty much explicitely explained that the tambourines are wielded by “Morticia, Granny and all the Addams women”. All clues showing that they are actually tied and close enough to the family to be considered a part of it... All of this is really bizarre and murky. But hey, that’s the Addams we are talking about.

Played by the Lewis twins (Maureen Sue and Darlene) as adults, they first appear as teenagers in the memorabilia of Gomez and Fester: as we learn, they were twin sisters romantically involved with the Addams brothers when they were teenagers/young adults - the two brothers notably were the dates of the twin sisters during their “debutante ball”. As it is revealed, they are the cause of the feud between the Addams brothers: apparently Fester was quite in love with the twins but Gomez, prideful and jealous of Fester’s “dashingness” decided to wooe the two sisters out of spite, and this started the tensions between him and his brother. 

They reappear at Fester’s grand ball, where it is revealed that they are siamese twins. Dressed in mauves and lavenders, they are shown to be both very bickering and very flirty: Gomez, Fester, Tully, they are interested in ALL the men they encounter (though, while they just use Tully as an “amusement” and having moved on from Gomez even being friendly with Morticia, their real interest lies with Fester due to him being the “king of the castle” and the rightful owner to the manor and the house - they keep trying to seduce him as a result). As for the bickering part, they regularly spite each other: they regularly insult one another, each one always claims to be the “first” to do anything while the other is just a “copy-cat” or “tag-along”, and they cannot stand when people mistake one for another. They also seem to hold the delusion that each one can live separately from the other or be “alone” . The script actually clarifies a bit their bizarre behavior - on top of noting that, from youth to adulthood, they stayed beautiful red-heads, it is also said that they are quite insane. In their youth they were noted to have “dementia in their eyes”, and as adult they still look “quite mad”.

And if this wasn’t clear enough, when the Amor twins leave the Addams party their craziness is revealed by the fact that their “ride”... is a ride to a mental hospital for the criminally insane, coupled with a two-person straightjacket to wrap them in. 

COUNTESS APHASIA

This character might seem quite mysterious and out-of-the-blue for those who watch “The Addams Family Values”. One Addams woman, played not by a woman but by Charles Busch, a notorious drag-queen, insults Wednesday when she catches the bouquet at Debbie’s wedding saying “It is not binding”. This character, with her iconic line “Tramp!” is merely listed in the credits as “Countess Cousin Aphasia du Berry”.

And as for many of those small Addams Family characters, we must look back at the original scripts to find more information about her.

In the shooting script “Countess Aphasia” is described as one of the many guests showing up for Fester’s wedding. Described as a “tattered, gin-soaked actress” she is noted to have a “Tallulah basso” (of course a reference to Tallulah Bankhead) - the script explicitely writes “She might be a man”. 

Another interesting fact: when Morticia presents her to Debbie, her name was originally going to be “Countess Aphasia Dubarry-Addams” (not “du Berry” as in the finished movie). When Morticia says Aphasia is an actress, she says to Debbie “Enchante. Have you seen any of my films?”. Debbie replies she is not sure, to which Aphasia asks “Where you in the Army?”. We see her interact again with Debbie during the deleted scene of the gift-shower: Aphasia offers the future bride “something old”, as per the tradition... which turns out to be stained, ripped and clearly used lingerie. 

Beyond that, Aphasia was supposed to form a sort of “unofficial” duo with Ophelia Addams: they are the two Addams women that Morticia presents to Debbie one after another ; when Debbie throws the bouquet they are noted to be the two first women to launch themselves on it before a riot breaks out, and finally during the wedding ceremony there was this exchange written between them:

ANGLE on Ophelia and Aphasia, among the guests. Ophelia dabs at her eyes with a lace hanky.

OPHELIA: I do love weddings. Have you ever been married?

APHASIA: Oh yes.

OPHELIA: In white?

APHASIA: In Berlin.

Despite all of these scenes being cut, Aphasia can still be seen beyond the “Tramp” scene in the background during the wedding sequence: during the wedding ceremony she can be sit next to a weeping Ophelia on the second row, left square, right next to the middle alley ; when Debbie leaves the house she is again with Ophelia right next to the door cheering on them ; and during the scene of Debbie meeting with Margaret you can briefly glimpse Aphasia walking around the room, with red hair, a glass in her hand, and a big white fur stole.

Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)

Those who have never heard of the Star Wars Holiday Special, are lucky. They will never be tempted to seek it out. They say it’s so bad that the entire cast and George Lucas himself disowned it, called it the kind of thing you use to clear out guests at a party. This must mean it’d be fun in a "so bad it's good" way… right?

Originally aired on CBS on November 17, 1978, Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) wants to return home to celebrate Life Day with his wife Malla (Mickey Morton), father Itchy (Paul Gale) and son Lumpy (Patty Maloney). When Chewie and Han Solo (Harrison Ford) are spotted by the Empire, they're unable to let the Wookies know why they're being delayed. Searching for answers, the family contacts Luke (Mark Hamill in way too much makeup), Leia (Carrie Fisher, who looks as though she’s on drugs), C-3P0 (Anthony Daniels, who spares himself some embarrassment by wearing a mask), and R2-D2. And don't worry kids, Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones) will appear as well!

If I tell you this is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen, will you be persuaded to avoid it? Every second screams CHEAP. Although “screams” isn’t right. Screaming is loud and exciting and above all else, this movie is boring. You need the patience of a saint to make it all the way through. Not just any Saint, one that knows they’ll live to see their 1,000th birthday and still has at least 900 years to go.

Between the few, brief moments where Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford embarrass themselves by pretending they care about the hellish dialogue and "shoot me now" plot, we are treated to several short variety-show type segments, each of which makes you wonder if anyone involved ever saw, or even heard of Star Wars before. Ear-splitting songs, romantic subplots between creepy aliens you won’t care about, unconvincing sets, costumes and creatures, agonizingly long choreographed dance segments by acrobats that probably pictured this as their big break but became hated by their children instead; that’s what you get.

Some may claim that a short animated portion, the first appearance of fan-favourite Bobba Fett makes it all worth it. They’re either lying, disillusioned or have gone mad from the fumes emanating from this rotting waste. That “cult classic” bit? It’s nothing special. The animation is ok, the story is ok, the character designs are ok... but it doesn’t add anything to the characters or to the universe. It’s a penny at the bottom of a bucket of piss. Hardly worth the effort.

Words fail to express the despair that grows within you while watching. George Lucas, who wasn't involved in the creation of this special in any way, wishes he could smash every copy of it into bits. Unfortunately, the Internet means the Star Wars Holiday Special is never going away. There’s always going to be some fool who somehow becomes convinced this is “so bad it’s good”. No. It’s so bad it makes you wish you were dead. It makes you pray that George Lucas will invent a time machine, travel back to the past and kill you before you hit “Play”. (December 22, 2017)
