There are plenty of horrors out there in the land of myth of legend. Some are more popular than others. The Vampire and werewolf obviously take the lion's share of stories, there are others. Some of these are so unique that when a movie about them comes along I have to check them out.
Teeth (2007)
Teeth is fun little movie. The premise is simple really. Dawn is a high school student and a bit naive. She is a member of a teen abstinence group and is generally afraid of sex. This is a good thing really since Dawn has an odd "adaptation". Maybe it has something to do with living near a nuclear power plant her whole life. Dawn has a problem. She has an extra set of
teeth in her vagina. This turns out to be very useful when she is sexually assaulted by a fellow student from her group.
Dawn tries to find out what is wrong with her. She goes to see a gynecologist to discover what is wrong. When he gets a bit improper with her she reacts by biting off four of his fingers.
Distraught, she heads home only to find her mother collapsed on the floor while her brother ignores her cries.
Dawn discovers that the police are looking for the first boy she was with and she decides to turn herself in.
She ends up at another guy's place who liked her.
Distraught and newly loaded with sleeping pills she ends up having sex. Everything seems to be going fine, she even has sex again, till she discovers that she was part of a bet. One quick chomp and she leaves.
Her mother died the night before so Dawn returns home to take her revenge on her step-brother. She goes to his room to have sex with him, something he has wanted for a long time, and she puts the bite on him.
She tosses out the left overs and his dog promptly eats it.
Dawn, hitchhiking is picked up by an old man that tries to make advances at her. She refuses at first and then gets a grin on her face and turns to the old perv.
The interesting thing about this flick is that is does take an old myth, one not many people may be familiar with, and turns it into a "monster" movie. Dawn is a sympathetic monster to be sure, but she kills at least one guy and maims three, potentially four, others. Still though it is hard to blame her for what she does.
Some images from movies are iconic. Bela Lugosi descending those stairs, Count Orlock standing in the doorway for some of the older ones, Freddie with his razor blade gloves.
The iconic image here though is not what you think it might be. It is Dawn's home, an idyllic single story ranch with the nuclear power plant cooling towers in the background.
If you get a chance, please check it out. It is a fun one.
Tally: 17 movies, 15 new.
Game Uses
Well, I can think of dozens really. But are they good for a game??
For an adult game (or more to the point an older adolescent game) this could be a good "fix" to that One Guy that always is looking to score with whatever female humanoid he sees.
I am tempted though to say this is the way the various Hag races are. Like Dawn they can control it so the can get what they want (offspring) and then when done they bite off the male's penis (great way to do a lot of HP in damage).
Defiantly hags and not say Succubi since the Hag is supposed to be a perversion of the female ideal.
