He wasn’t the first to rip off Freddy Krueger’s gimmick – anyone remember Sharp Hand Joe? – but one of the most notable “bootleg Freddy” creations is no doubt Scary Terry from “Rick and Morty,” who appeared in the 2013 episode Lawnmower Dog. With miniature swords for fingers and a penchant for saying the word “bitch,” Scary Terry is, as the show describes, a “legally-safe knockoff of an ’80s horror character.” And he now has his own fan film.
Released today, Bitch: The Scary Terry Story is a short fan film from Chris Notarile, the man behind the Tales from Elm Street shorts and the recent Tiffany + Chucky fan films.
In the fan film…
“When Scary Terry finds himself on the wrong side of a trademark infringement lawsuit, options seem bleak as Scary Terry fights to justify his livelihood in the lawsuit of the century.”
Notarile honestly notes, “I wanted this to look as cheap as possible. The crappier, the better. Because again, the whole thing is just absurd.” Indeed it is. Watch the fan film below!
