Reimagining Iconic Horror

Choose a classic horror villain and devise an origin story that significantly deviates from their established canon.

Every horror character has an intriguing backstory, but this prompt compels you to create your own unique vision for a horror icon. How did they really become the monster we know? Do they see themselves as a villain or a savior, or just a victim of fate? What if you flipped their characteristics? How do their ambitions, desires, or fears differ from the original? This exploration gives you the chance to delve deeper into the character psychology and add new dimensions to their persona.
