Horror movie icons are pretty popular even for people who don't necessarily like scary movies. These characters have made their living scaring the pants off of viewers for years, but they can have a softer side too. In these images by Truck Torrence, iconic horror movie icons get a cute remake.
Jason Voorhees is one of the most popular horror movie villains around, but in these images, you can catch him using that signature machete to chop up sushi at Benihana. I'm sure the customers there would rather he use the blade for good, and these cute photos show his impressive chef skills.

There are tons of scary movie villains in these photos, and all of them get completely reworked into tiny chibi characters. Even the Shark from jaws shows that he's not such a bad guy...even if he's still eating people.
