No one wants to taint your memories of The Lego Movie, but a new fan-made trailer for the film casts the brick-tastic blockbuster in a whole new light. If anything, this scarier take on Legos just goes to show how similar the trailers for horror films have become. The right mix of sound effects, quick cuts and scenes where you can’t tell exactly what’s going on, and voilà – you’ve got a scary movie in the making. The Lego Movie isn’t the first family film to get twisted into something far darker. Perhaps one of the most famous – “Scary Mary,” a horror movie re-envisioning of Mary Poppins – hit the Internet way back in 2006. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory got similar treatment. But let’s face it: Willy Wonka was already pretty scary in its original state. The Lego Movie was one of 2014’s most vibrant and upbeat movies, so it may be surprising that the movie actually lends itself to a much darker, much scarier version. YouTube users crazimen74 posted a parody trailer of The Lego Movie as if it were a horror film.
Pulling footage from the movie but swapping in some new title cards, music, and lighting, the trailer makes the most colorful comedy of 2014 into a dark and horrific tale of evil. More than that, the parody trailer, which started as a project for a school course, pokes fun at how predictable the marketing for a modern mainstream horror film has become. The dramatic beats, the swelling score—it all may feel eerily familiar. Watch the trailer below and see as Emmet’s journey to becoming a Master Builder is transformed into something far more sinister.Sean Spicer’s tragic fall from grace as White House Easter Bunny Iowa Republican pushing education reform got his degree from Sizzler Oh, hey, here’s a clip of Jeff Sessions yelling at Bill Clinton for perjury in 1999 Like all of us, Denny’s social media team cannot bear the agony of lifeEverything is certainly not awesome in this re-imagining of 'The Lego Movie'. Moving on from the wonderfully happy and colourful original, this fan-made parody is a bit more on the dark side.
With a touch of clever editing and some creepy music dubbed over the top, the children's film quickly becomes a scary horror flick that looks genuinely terrifying.They used Comic Sans.

Though the LEGO Group began introducing interlocking toy bricks to the marketplace way back in 1949, those colorful bricks have never been more popular than they are today, in the wake of last month’s release of the mega-successful Lego Movie. The movie featured a slew of iconic pop-culture characters, including Batman, Superman and Han Solo, and we couldn’t help but wonder what some of our favorite horror icons would look like, if given that same LEGO treatment.And so we did some digging around the internet and put together a gallery of horror-inspired LEGO creations, which we’re pretty sure is going to put a big ole smile on your face.

But Sunday’s star-studded gala at the Dolby Theatre won’t necessarily turn the box office into a snooze-fest.One reason to pay attention is “Get Out,” the critically acclaimed and politically timely new horror film from half of television comedy duo “Key & Peele.” The highly anticipated directorial debut of comedian-turned-horror maestro Jordan Peele could rival “The Lego Batman Movie” for top spot at the domestic box office.
Or the computer-animated superhero comedy could win for the third weekend in a row. Meanwhile, Oscar crowd pleasers “La La Land,” “Hidden Figures” and “Lion” will seek out additional dollars before their stars hit the red carpet. Here’s what to watch for at the box office this weekend: Written and directed by Peele, “Get Out” has been a big deal on social media since Universal Pictures released the first trailer in October to 30 million views. Critics also have responded enthusiastically to its blend of genre film-making and social criticism, evidenced by an extremely rare 100% positive score from Rotten Tomatoes as of Tuesday.That’s a good sign for the movie’s prospects. The studio is projecting a debut of up to $19 million in ticket sales from the U.S. and Canada Friday through Sunday. Analysts who have reviewed pre-release audience surveys expect it to gross $20 million or more and become a breakout hit in the vein of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller “Split,” released a month ago.
The movie follows a young black man (Daniel Kaluuya of “Sicario”) who meets his white girlfriend’s parents at their estate, only to find out that the situation is much more sinister than it appears. The movie was produced for $5 million by low-budget horror shop Blumhouse Productions, and marks the feature film debut of “Girls” star Allison Williams. Warner Bros.’ caped crusader parody “The Lego Batman Movie" has shown impressive staying power with audiences. The irreverent comedy, featuring the voice of Will Arnett, grossed $42.7 million during the Presidents Day weekend, down slightly from its opening the prior week. It easily could win again this weekend with around $20 million in sales, adding to its total of $107 million. The $80-million cartoon also has picked up $72 million internationally, adding up to a global total of $179 million. Universal’s international hit sequel “Fifty Shades Darker” also will be in the mix after grossing $279 million around the world, including $91 million at home.
Besides “Get Out,” newcomers aren’t expected to make much money at theaters this weekend. Lionsgate’s “Rock Dog,” a computer-animated family comedy about a pooch who wants to be a star musician, is on track to open with about $7 million.“Collide,” a European-set action thriller with Felicity Jones and Anthony Hopkins, may do even worse. The ill-fated “Collide" was once on Relativity Media’s release schedule, but went to Open Road Films after Relativity went bankrupt in 2015. The long-delayed picture is expected to open with $5 million. With nine best picture nominees this year, and a handful of them still in theaters, some moviegoers are likely to play catch-up in the coming days.The biggest Oscar buzz beneficiary remains “Hidden Figures,” the 20th Century Fox film about black female mathematicians and engineers at NASA in the 1960s. The movie is the highest-grossing best picture nominee, domestically, with $144 million, followed closely by “La La Land” with $134 million.
