10. Evil Ernie
Aside from superhero stuff, has there been a more popular cultural phenomenon than zombies since the turn of the millennium? We think not.
The likes of The Walking Dead (and its spin-offs), Game of Thrones, Z Nation, World War Z, Zombieland (and its sequel) and Train to Busan are just some of the incredibly popular television shows and movies to have featured the undead in recent years.
Heck, it’s got to the point now where fans are calling for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to dip into the zombie genre with a Marvel Zombies movie!
But we think we’ve got an even better idea: An Evil Ernie movie!
Published by Dynamite Entertainment (and previously Eternity Comics, Chaos! Comics and Devil’s Due Publishing) Evil Ernie was Ernest Fairchild – a young boy with supernatural powers who was abused by his parents and, ultimately, killed by a mind-altering device whilst incarcerated in a mental asylum.
Lady Death then mutated him into a powerful undead killing machine – with a variety of superhuman, telepathic and magical powers – whom she tasked with murdering every living being on Earth!
Now, wouldn’t that make for an incredibly entertaining movie?!
