First rule of wish making: Always use your first wish to wish your wishes had to be granted in the manner intended and only as intended. No word twisting. No poetic irony or whatever.
But how would the person granting the wishes know for sure what your heart intended? I’m not saying that your idea isn’t good, I’m saying that even saying that leaves a little wiggle room. The wish granter would have to be a mind-reader in order to know exactly what the person wanted, especially if the wish had anything to do with love. Wishing (which would basically be forcing) someone to love you could have seriously deadly consequences especially since that involves manipulating someone else’s emotions.
@@Vampwars The intent of the wish is fairly easy to guess. Someone asking to be able to "walk through those bars" PROBABLY meant that the bars in question would disappear and not that he should be shoved through the gaps.
@@Bluesit32, true, especially since he asked to walk through the bars & not be shoved through them. Not all of those particular wishes were really granted, just manipulated by what the films referred to as a Djinn. If there were a guarantee that a person could get what exactly they were hoping for as long as they said specifically what they wanted, I would love to see that movie. I feel like at least once a year or two, Hollywood drops a “Be Careful What You Wish For” horror film. It would be nice to see the more Disney-esque version.
Well, Wish granting Djinn are notoriously never going to give you what you wish for, if you read up on their original stories anyway, Yeah, they will fulfill it, sort of, but their twisted interpretation of it, it hardly even matters what words you use, they will latch onto whatever single word or set of words they want to. Kind of like selectively hearing you and tuning out what they want to in order to get their desired results. so where someone might make that safeguarding wish, it still wouldn't matter, the Djinn will hear certain words, then just get more creative with them (I know you stated this in general for the list, but my comment is meant to touch on the wishmaster entries in general, I am not sure how the others would work with that concept as I cannot recall much about their lores at the moment.)
Makes me think of Fairy Oddparents when Timmy wished a lawyer from the genie Norm. Can you humor and tell me why you should have a lawyer? I have a general idea but feel I need some verification.
@@peterwakefield5233 I meant to ask Top Nepper that. If you read some of the later comments, you will see why I thought that it was funny that she mentioned having a lawyer present. The second one wasn't very good, but that lawyer scene took the cake.
One of my favorites along these lines was in the old "Night Gallery" series by Rod Serling. A former Nazi officer who has been hiding in Argentina is about to be identified and captured. He has become fascinated by a picture in a museum of a man peacefully fishing in a rowboat. He comes to believe that he can escape by wishing himself into the picture. Finally when the police are after him he goes to the museum at night and stands in front of the picture saying "put me in the picture" over and over. Unfortunately another picture of a man crucified has been moved into the spot where the rowboat picture was. So, not good.
@@JustKelso1993 he was. My favorite was the douchebag with a rich uncle who died, then the painting kept showing his uncle getting closer and closer to the mansion after he rose from the grave. 😸
The Room's magical incest pregnancy was weird, If she wanted to know she could get a DNA test or just dip her toe out. Shame those characters didn't just adopt in the first place.
Maybe they couldn’t. Not every couple is permitted to adopt, even if they seem like good people because of scheduling issues or not having enough money or possibly being denied in the past due to them being adopted (which is something I recently found out).
@@Laura-ym2gs, I wholeheartedly agree. Sometimes, showing people go through the motions helps the story seem more authentic, even when it’s kinda a horror movie.
One moment I *really* liked about "Wishmaster" was a security guard at first wishing the bad guy to Leave. And the evil djinn finds himself having to obey his own rules, and forced to turn around and start walking away, struggling and all but desperately trying to insist he has to get in, which is what technically elicits the security guard to declare that he'd have "to go through" him, which negates the first wish, and allows the dginn to turn the guard into stained glass, easily through which the djinn can go...
These are the movies but click on time to know what wish went wrong: 10. 0:45 ABCs of Death 2 9. 1:49 Wishmaster 8. 2:48 Wish Upon 7. 3:43 The Gate 2: The Trespassers 6. 4:37 Leprechaun 2 5. 5:34 Wishmaster 4. 6:21 The Monkey's Paw 3. 7:23 Tales from the Crypt 2. 8:31 The Room 1. 9:42 Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies
Very helpful since the description just says "Three wishes sounds great, but they come with dire consequences." even though the movie says to check the description for spoilers.
I always admired Audrey’s near tragic demise in Little Shop of Horrors original ending. Her song “Somewhere that’s Green,” she wishes she could be somewhere that’s green with her beloved Seymour. It seems atop green grass, raising kids in a suburban house. But as it turned in the original ending she WOULD end up somewhere that’s green with Seymour. Dead. In an alien plant’s stomach.
"You wish to know what I am? To you, I am this: The cry of the abandoned child. The whimper of the whipped beast. I am the face that stares back at you from the shadows of your mirror. The hollowness at the heart of all your hopes, Alexandra. I AM DESPAIR."
I am also your worst nightmare cone true! From the bowels of hell, comes I! Something wicked this way I come!! From your melting skin, to your eyes exploding...watch out...behind you! RUN, RUN NOW!!! Always be looking over your shoulder, ya never know...when it'll be me...tap, tapping you. Remember, I'm everywhere!!! Boo!
Of course the "Tales from the Crypt" one was wrong. She said she wanted him the way he was BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. He wasn't embalmed before the accident, so when she wishes him back to life, he wouldn't be embalmed.
To beat "The Room", I'd ask for top of the line computer equipment with all the knowledge to come with it so I could work from home. Then do direct deposit for paychecks so that the money would not come from the room itself.. Win/Win.... I love the wishmaster movies.. Goes to show, be careful what you wish for. You may not like what you get.
I recently saw the Room and praised it for its originality. However, like most protagonists in horror films, the couple wasn't very smart (by the way, you mistakenly said that anything created in the room could never leave the room. In actuality, anything created in the room could never leave the HOUSE). So...nothing you wish for can leave the house. Got it. Let me wish for a computer, a desk, a comfy chair, and LOTS of coffee. Then, I'm going to wish for the talent to write a great novel. I write said novel over the next few weeks and then send it to anyone who will read it. Someone will recognize it for what it is and offer me a contract. I sell the book and receive a handsome advance on the next one. I write a dozen books and am widely hailed as the best [fill in the blank genre] writer of my time. I've made millions off the sales and millions more from the movie rights. Sure, whenever I leave the house I lose the talent, but I can just get it back when I return. Just remember to NEVER wish for anything living and NEVER wish for any changes to anyone's body.
@@Comicsluvr I'd ask for artistic talent and do CG commissions. I'd use that to order art supplies, just in case even the money deposited to my bank could disappear. Then I'd start making traditional art. I do wonder if it'll all start looking like shit when taken out of the house since all the materials are from outside.
I think you guys' ideas are on point but I don't think it could create conceptual things like talent from what I remember (though I guess it did create an entire subspace somehow so I shouldn't put that past it). Regardless I think a a great idea along those lines is to wish for a non sentient story AI in the computer that could churn out great content, the chemical formula for a cure to every disease, mathematical equations/design specs for perfect technologies etc.....Man those people were idiots. The possibilities were endless.
I actually liked the first one but have not seen the second, I agree with the other person. It is not to be taken too seriously, but, it is interesting to see how each different person does their letter.

I knew that voice sounded familiar. Glad to see you here Jess!, you were always great on GameSpot (long ago when i used to visit that site), nice to see a familiar face here in WCH. Greetings!
My favorite example might actually come from X-Files. When Mulder finds a genie, gets trapped into the contract, he decides to make a wish that can't possibly be construed as greedy, or go horribly wrong. He wishes for world peace....then he realizes he's the only person in the building, runs outside, he's the only person in the city. "This is peace on earth? Brotherhood among men?" "Ah! You didn't wish for brotherhood among men"
I like the one in Wishmaster where Kane Hodder (the best Jason Voorhees himself) wishes to see Demerest walk right through him. You can imagine the results. He's turned to ice and the evil d'jinn in fact strolls past his position, shattering him into a thousand pieces. I also like the genie episode of The X-Files.
Oh, the best part of that wish is that he first tells Demerest to turn around and start walking. Unable to resist, the genie is forced to walk away...until he says, "The only way you're getting past me is if you walk right through me and I'd like to see *that* happen." Wish granted.
It's not a horror movie and it doesn't go *horribly* wrong, but I love in the 80s Twilight Zone revival, a woman finds a magic lamp at a yard sale, rubs it, and gets teleported to something akin to City Hall but for wishes - so there's just huge lines everywhere, and you have to meet with your designated agent to get your wishes approved. Her agent gets vaporized before she can make a wish, she ends up in the wrong line (one of those "this line is for ORANGE forms, you have a BLUE form" kind of deals), and in the end she says "I wish I'd never picked up the stupid lamp in the first place!" and ends up back at the yard sale like 30 seconds before she'd picked up the lamp. I just always think that's such an actually interesting twist on wish-granting stories - no horrible twisting of words, no malevolence. Just pure, bureaucratic inconvenience.
You have missed the most under-rated horror movie of all time - Disney's Something Wicked This Way Comes. From the early 80s, it is based around wishes being granted by a creepy looking circus that visits town.
Everytime I see that some other commenters have seen and liked Something Wicked This Way Comes by Disney in the early '80s (1983 to be more precise) based on Ray Bradbury's novel, it greatly impresses me! Disney Pictures used to wanna pretend this movie never existed. Yeah, it was very dark themed and moody, but a kid/ teen friendly portrayal of the battle of Good vs. Evil has intrigued me since first seeing said film in the late '80s to early '90s on home video. This film got me started with Stephen King stories- after my nightmare phase centered around the IT mini series, (which scared the crap outta me in my preteens, ) even though I tried to pretend it didn't. Something Wicked had a lot going for it: a subtlely devilish Jonathan Pryce, as Mr. Dark and he lives up to that name with a devilish persona but not quite to Mr. Gaunt's level. Composer James Horner does an eerily effective score and certain images and scenes are pretty creepy as well! Happy viewing folks!
I've never been a big reader, but that is one of the few stories that I actually remember enjoying when ai read it in Higg School. Liked it so much, that I even did a drawing of the witch in the hot air balloon as extra credit and I never did any extra credit work.
my girlfriend hates horror flicks, but i showed her the "That which is eternal cannot die" scene from Wishmaster. Andrew Divoff's performance creeped her out and made her super physically uncomfortable. Freaking love those first two movies
Had great fun turning the Wishmaster movies into drinking games. In the first movie almost none of the victims actually make a wish, but are instead coaxed into wanting something. Even the one shown on this list doesn't actively wish to escape. Taking a shot every time a non-wish happens will consume more than one large bottle of vodka in movie 1. In the second movie they addressed the non-wishes, though a few still manage to sneak in. but a shot for each can still get you pretty drunk and throwing doubles every time a wish is hilariously OTT can still see multiple bottles required.
I call BS on the last one. The man specifically stated that he wanted to "walk out" of his cell. I get monkey's paws are mean to show that you should be careful what you wish for, but that doesn't mean you should be able to ignore wording.
They forgot the X-files genie. That genie granted someone the power to turn invisible at will. Then that person went out into the road and got hit by a truck, because the driver couldn't see the invisible man. Or when Fox Mulder wished for world peace and ended up being alone in an empty world with no people. And the biggest irony of all that wasn't shown but told in X-Files. The origin of the genie being the result of a wish for long life and great power made by a regular person from medieval times.
Its strange how those granting wishes are able to grant the wish however they want. Imagine if they were obligated to grant the wish in the way it was intended. That would stop so many things from happening.
By random happenstance at 3:00 you mention how they use the dog to show theirs something evil going on. Well in an interview with the maker of JoJo's Bizzare Adventure about why he's always killing dogs off in his manga/anime he responds by saying, "a character killing an animal everyone finds cute such as a dog shows the viewer how evil the villian is". The say goes in this situation its used to reveal that the wish box targets living creatures and human aren't the only thing it's able to snuff out in exchange for a wish. I guess you could say they use the dogs death as a plot device to save more characters for later
Reminds me of something for a Sonic fanon I'm crafting; namely, one of the characters wishes to magically age herself to Sonic's age. It works, no downside but her compatriots...well...having a little more wit and patience, saw some VERY apparent downsides. "Think of it this way," Sonic began as he sat next to her, trying to find the words and courage to enlighten the former little sister of the crew, "You've just missed out on 7 birthdays."
In wish master 2, I thought the wish was to WALK through the cell bars to freedom. The guy didn't walk, therefore the wish master murdered him without granting his wish as he had specified.
This has to be the most annoying cinema trope. “I wish for a million dollars” “Ohohoho but you didn’t wish for a million dollars and your mom to not have a heart attack”
I always appreciate your message at the very end of the video. I think it says a lot about you as a person. Thank you for that. Strangely enough, watching videos like this has helped me through this strange time we are all going through. 😊
I love the Leprechaun movies. Always remember the wishes made by few people in the Wish Master franchise. Totally HORRIFIC. Talk about twisting words. Those poor people
You could have whittled down two of the "Wishmaster" deaths to allow for some of the horrific wishes from "When Evil Calls". Wishing you could lose some weight and get your arm ground off in a garbage disposal? YIKES.
This vid I will never finish... I'm sorry I stopped it at the tales from the crypt. I'm almost 27 and I still cant even look at a picture of that thing.... -shivers-
I loved the first two. Then they replaced the brilliant Andrew Divoff with some underwhelming bore. Divoff is an absolute treasure. I WISH he’d be in more movies! 😁😈
I've seen enough movies where someone makes a wish with a demon/djinn / genie or some evil trickster to know that every wish will go wrong and don't make any wishes.
First rule of wishmaking: Invoke Recompense. What's Recompense? A universal mechanism by which a wish granter, if it subverts or corrupts a wish, is subjected to a pocket eternity of metaphysical agony, then returned to the original moment of the wish granting and given an opportunity to try again. Every time it plays its subversion/corruption game, it gets the agony again. And again. As many times as it takes until it does what it's supposed to do with no tricks. Example: Wisher: "I wish for peace on Earth." Genie: *kills everyone else on Earth* "Your wish is grante -- AAAAAAUUUUGGGHHH!!!" *eternity of torture* Wisher: "I wish for peace on Earth." Genie: *kills everyone on else on Earth* "Your w -- AAAAUUUUUGGGHHHH!!!" *eternity of torture* Wisher: "I wish for peace on Earth." Genie: *with noticeable facial tic*: "Nnngh... nrrrgh... OKAY, FINE!" *people stop fighting each other and live in peace*
Wishmaster is the reason why djinn were my favorite supernatural creatures. I love the idea giving someone what they desire at a cost that destroys them.
I wish for a turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with lettuce and mustard, and, AND I don’t want any zombie turkeys, I don’t want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don’t want any other weird surprises. You got it?
First I thought The Baby is gonna turn into dust as well and I was about to make The Avengers Infinity War Joke (when Spider-Man turn into dust in Ironman’s arms)
The Lovecraftian film Necronomicon. Mother wishes for her son to be brought back to life. Doesn't quite go so well. Can't remember if this was the instance where the resurrected son exclaims how he had died to get away from her or not as this wasn't the only time something like this happened. Kind of want to say one of the shorts from one of the Trilogy of Terror films? Either way.

Fuck that Im still not risking it. I watched wish master to many times as a kid.
Always have a lawyer present with you before you make a wish and nothing can go wrong. Easy.

I like the one in Wishmaster where Kane Hodder (the best Jason Voorhees himself) wishes to see Demerest walk right through him. You can imagine the results. He's turned to ice and the evil d'jinn in fact strolls past his position, shattering him into a thousand pieces.
I also like the genie episode of The X-Files.
Yes! I always remember this, it was a great way of showing what the wishes actually meant and how he interpreted them!
Oh, the best part of that wish is that he first tells Demerest to turn around and start walking. Unable to resist, the genie is forced to walk away...until he says, "The only way you're getting past me is if you walk right through me and I'd like to see *that* happen."
Wish granted.
When making a wish, always be very detailed about it. As wish-granters are known for taking them literally.
Should've put the lawyer from Wishmaster 2 on the list :)
That scene scarred me for life. Lol.
Love this list! I'd suggest The Box as well with Cameron Diaz and James Marsden, that's one whole wish gone wrong!
The Box is not a wish. They push a button on a box to get the money, then someone they do not know does. They knew the consequences going into it.
I didn’t know anyone else has seen that movie-
Ok but in that same Wishmaster, you have the best use of a wish ever. She kicked his ass.
It's not a horror movie and it doesn't go *horribly* wrong, but I love in the 80s Twilight Zone revival, a woman finds a magic lamp at a yard sale, rubs it, and gets teleported to something akin to City Hall but for wishes - so there's just huge lines everywhere, and you have to meet with your designated agent to get your wishes approved. Her agent gets vaporized before she can make a wish, she ends up in the wrong line (one of those "this line is for ORANGE forms, you have a BLUE form" kind of deals), and in the end she says "I wish I'd never picked up the stupid lamp in the first place!" and ends up back at the yard sale like 30 seconds before she'd picked up the lamp. I just always think that's such an actually interesting twist on wish-granting stories - no horrible twisting of words, no malevolence. Just pure, bureaucratic inconvenience.
You have missed the most under-rated horror movie of all time - Disney's Something Wicked This Way Comes. From the early 80s, it is based around wishes being granted by a creepy looking circus that visits town.
Love that movie. Jonathan Pryce and Jason Robards. The Autumn Carnival.
Everytime I see that some
other commenters have
seen and liked Something
Wicked This Way Comes
by Disney in the early '80s
(1983 to be more precise)
based on Ray Bradbury's
novel, it greatly impresses
me!
Disney Pictures used to
wanna pretend this movie
never existed.
Yeah, it was very dark
themed and moody, but a
kid/ teen friendly portrayal
of the battle of Good vs. Evil
has intrigued me since first
seeing said film in the late
'80s to early '90s on home
video. This film got me
started with Stephen King
stories- after my nightmare
phase centered around
the IT mini series, (which
scared the crap outta me in
my preteens, ) even though
I tried to pretend it didn't.
Something Wicked had
a lot going for it: a
subtlely devilish Jonathan
Pryce, as Mr. Dark and he
lives up to that name with
a devilish persona but not
quite to Mr. Gaunt's level.
Composer James Horner
does an eerily effective
score and certain images
and scenes are pretty
creepy as well!
Happy viewing folks!
I've never been a big reader, but that is one of the few stories that I actually remember enjoying when ai read it in Higg School. Liked it so much, that I even did a drawing of the witch in the hot air balloon as extra credit and I never did any extra credit work.
XD That narration for the trash music box was great. I think the lesson to take away here is BE FREAKING SPECIFIC WITH YOUR WISHES!
my girlfriend hates horror flicks, but i showed her the "That which is eternal cannot die" scene from Wishmaster. Andrew Divoff's performance creeped her out and made her super physically uncomfortable. Freaking love those first two movies
Had great fun turning the Wishmaster movies into drinking games. In the first movie almost none of the victims actually make a wish, but are instead coaxed into wanting something. Even the one shown on this list doesn't actively wish to escape. Taking a shot every time a non-wish happens will consume more than one large bottle of vodka in movie 1. In the second movie they addressed the non-wishes, though a few still manage to sneak in. but a shot for each can still get you pretty drunk and throwing doubles every time a wish is hilariously OTT can still see multiple bottles required.
Welcome Jess, I really enjoyed your presentation! Hope to hear more from you soon!
I call BS on the last one. The man specifically stated that he wanted to "walk out" of his cell. I get monkey's paws are mean to show that you should be careful what you wish for, but that doesn't mean you should be able to ignore wording.
I feel like I'm recieving pre-flight info...
They forgot the X-files genie. That genie granted someone the power to turn invisible at will. Then that person went out into the road and got hit by a truck, because the driver couldn't see the invisible man. Or when Fox Mulder wished for world peace and ended up being alone in an empty world with no people. And the biggest irony of all that wasn't shown but told in X-Files. The origin of the genie being the result of a wish for long life and great power made by a regular person from medieval times.
It’s more like be VERY specific when wishing for something
Lol they sniped the girl from Gamespot! 😆
Man, there's some really dark movies out there...
I'd like to wish everyone a happy 2021 😈
Rude lol
@@Handsome_Black How? He clearly just loves devils/demons. Probably just a normal smiley face to him.
You as well.
What have you done...
granted, everyone will have sudden surge of almost infinite amounts of dopamine in their bodies until they perish.
Caroline Williams in Leprechaun 3 would've been the way to go...just more fun in general
Its strange how those granting wishes are able to grant the wish however they want. Imagine if they were obligated to grant the wish in the way it was intended. That would stop so many things from happening.
By random happenstance at 3:00 you mention how they use the dog to show theirs something evil going on. Well in an interview with the maker of JoJo's Bizzare Adventure about why he's always killing dogs off in his manga/anime he responds by saying, "a character killing an animal everyone finds cute such as a dog shows the viewer how evil the villian is". The say goes in this situation its used to reveal that the wish box targets living creatures and human aren't the only thing it's able to snuff out in exchange for a wish. I guess you could say they use the dogs death as a plot device to save more characters for later
"horror movies are idiots" ... LOL ... that one had me laughing!!
There was only ever one scene I've seen from the Leprechaun series and it was that pot of gold scene
Just wish for a cheeseburger or like a pair of shoes or extra beers in the fridge. Keep it simple. Don't let a genie f*ck with you. LOL
Love the 2 kids wishing they could be in the fight against the Big Bad, then finding out kids are easier than easy to kill in a war. Natural selection
Reminds me of something for a Sonic fanon I'm crafting; namely, one of the characters wishes to magically age herself to Sonic's age. It works, no downside but her compatriots...well...having a little more wit and patience, saw some VERY apparent downsides.
"Think of it this way," Sonic began as he sat next to her, trying to find the words and courage to enlighten the former little sister of the crew, "You've just missed out on 7 birthdays."
welcome jess!! what a great list to jump into the channel to. (pls do a part 2....)
In wish master 2, I thought the wish was to WALK through the cell bars to freedom. The guy didn't walk, therefore the wish master murdered him without granting his wish as he had specified.
Yay I like Jess🤗finally ☺ Welcome to the fam, you really bring these list to life
Me: sees Leprechaun. "Yeah! My dude, Warwick Davis!"
Her: "Warick Davies"
Me: "please tell me she did not just f*** up his name?!?"
🤣🤣🤣
Sorry mate, that's how you pronounce it
This has to be the most annoying cinema trope.
“I wish for a million dollars”
“Ohohoho but you didn’t wish for a million dollars and your mom to not have a heart attack”
I always appreciate your message at the very end of the video. I think it says a lot about you as a person. Thank you for that. Strangely enough, watching videos like this has helped me through this strange time we are all going through. 😊
I love the Leprechaun movies. Always remember the wishes made by few people in the Wish Master franchise. Totally HORRIFIC. Talk about twisting words. Those poor people
Assuming that Frankenstein's assistant was named Igor predates Young Frankenstein.
You could have whittled down two of the "Wishmaster" deaths to allow for some of the horrific wishes from "When Evil Calls". Wishing you could lose some weight and get your arm ground off in a garbage disposal? YIKES.
When wishing on a magical object ALLWAYS BRING A LAWYER!
The moral of the stories, always add "without negative consequences"
A clever wish granter will point out that there were absolutely no negative consequences in any of those wishes... for the one granting the wishes
as the old saying goes"becareful what you wish for" and "chose your words wisely".
If granted a wish, wish for every wish you make to come true!
0:55 when the potions are too strong for you.
This vid I will never finish... I'm sorry I stopped it at the tales from the crypt. I'm almost 27 and I still cant even look at a picture of that thing.... -shivers-
The first one with the children was horrifying.. disturbed.
Needful things deserves an honorable mention.
On the topic of the room theoretically the moment she leaves that room any trace of Shame should be gone yeah? So I would imagine it's her husband's
Amazing video of be careful what you wish for type movies and I love the wish master movies.
Um, Hellraiser? Picture of Dorian Gray?
They blew it with the ABCs of Death 2 name... should have called it the DEF's of Death and just continued on from there 🤣
I remember that last one from when i was a kid. Gave me nightmares for years
Leprechaun 2 and 3 are my faves
I love the Wishmaster series.
I loved the first two. Then they replaced the brilliant Andrew Divoff with some underwhelming bore. Divoff is an absolute treasure. I WISH he’d be in more movies! 😁😈
oh...oh ni
Holy MOLY... Ash may have some competition for my WC Horror Heartbreaker... 😍😮
I've seen enough movies where someone makes a wish with a demon/djinn / genie or some evil trickster to know that every wish will go wrong and don't make any wishes.
or simply chose your words wisely because if for example you wish for a millions bucks your gonna get a million buck literally.
I've watched so many movie wishes go bad (don't they all?) I'd be too scared to make one if offered.
A great new presenter, welcome!
First rule of wishmaking: Invoke Recompense.
What's Recompense? A universal mechanism by which a wish granter, if it subverts or corrupts a wish, is subjected to a pocket eternity of metaphysical agony, then returned to the original moment of the wish granting and given an opportunity to try again. Every time it plays its subversion/corruption game, it gets the agony again. And again. As many times as it takes until it does what it's supposed to do with no tricks.
Example:
Wisher: "I wish for peace on Earth."
Genie: *kills everyone else on Earth* "Your wish is grante -- AAAAAAUUUUGGGHHH!!!"
*eternity of torture*
Wisher: "I wish for peace on Earth."
Genie: *kills everyone on else on Earth* "Your w -- AAAAUUUUUGGGHHHH!!!"
*eternity of torture*
Wisher: "I wish for peace on Earth."
Genie: *with noticeable facial tic*: "Nnngh... nrrrgh... OKAY, FINE!" *people stop fighting each other and live in peace*
Isn't she from GameSpot?? Welcome to the insanity!
Wishmaster is the reason why djinn were my favorite supernatural creatures.
I love the idea giving someone what they desire at a cost that destroys them.
And this is why I have a fear of genies
>>tales from the crypt
thats not a movie!
>>1972
oh i forgot that movie
In the immortal words of Raymond Beaumont: *"Jesus Christ!"*
Crap...that wishmaster is so...tricky and deceptive!
I wish for a turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with lettuce and mustard, and, AND I don’t want any zombie turkeys, I don’t want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don’t want any other weird surprises. You got it?
The turkey's a little dry.
Love the Wishmaster! Better watch what you wish for!
First I thought The Baby is gonna turn into dust as well and I was about to make The Avengers Infinity War Joke (when Spider-Man turn into dust in Ironman’s arms)
Yesh for that last one I might have just wanted to close my eyes..
The Lovecraftian film Necronomicon. Mother wishes for her son to be brought back to life. Doesn't quite go so well. Can't remember if this was the instance where the resurrected son exclaims how he had died to get away from her or not as this wasn't the only time something like this happened. Kind of want to say one of the shorts from one of the Trilogy of Terror films? Either way.
Also be careful who you wish it from!
I love it when bad movies, can make up such a good list. Lol. A few guilty pleasures, still though.
That's why I keep my wishes simple
