Can you name the horror movie these dysfunctional families are from?
For those like yourself who revel in all things dark and mysterious, home is where the horror is and notably, this chilling genre has had no challenges expanding into the realm of family ties and unhealthy relationships. Whether it be an abusive parent, turmoil among siblings, or the trauma of being raised in a world of emotional dysfunction, the world of horror has created some of the most conspicuously, flawed family of foes this side of the loony-bin. So, if you’re feeling knowledgeable enough, claim your place in the ranks of fandom by naming the following films that depict these fearsome folks.
#1: The murderous family stuck in a plastic prison
This franchise sprang forth to the big screen in 1988 and has hence created seven more thrilling movie installments featuring the fiery serial killer we all know and love. Although he struggles with his forced imprisonment inside the creepy Good Guy Chucky Doll, this character never ceases to hide his devilish humor for some wicked bloodshed. Needless to say, Chucky isn’t the only sick, twisted individual in his family of decrepit dolls, Tiffany also possesses a murderous drive of her own, which together, was passed on to their offspring. In fact, their viciously volatile relationship extended into a feature film with a son/daughter added to the mix. Whether you call this character Glen or Glenda, it’s clear that using a voodoo amulet to resurrect your dead parents is almost a step above the typical definition of dysfunctional.

#2: The clan of pure craziness
There’s no question that a family this kooky belongs inside the walls of an insane asylum, but the Firefly clan still manages to find their sanity through the torture of kidnapped teenagers. Moreover, this twisted family tree features its own brand of devilish cruelty, and even when fighting, find unhealthy ways to display their affection. Hobbyist of maiming, murder and satanic experiences, this tribe of kin has a penchant for gruesome blood and gore and even some horror movie action figures to immortalize them as fearsome foes.

#3: Grave robbing kith and kin
Even estranged families should take the time to sit down to a home-cooked meal and if the household consists of a group of graverobbers, it wouldn’t be weird for barbecued human flesh to be the main dish on the menu. Nevertheless, one of the most dangerous, dysfunctional families in the horror world has got to be none other than the Sawyers’. Notably featured as collectible horror movie action figures, this group of miscreants isn’t capable of living in the boundaries of everyday society, which is why they reside out in the backyard boonies of the Texas wilderness. Wearing masks made from human skin, suckling blood and murdering tourists, this bunch is as bizarre as they’re murderous.
