Includes a list of characters, actors and production crew members whose first names are David.

Child's Play[]

David was a dark-skinned male who lived in Chicago, Illinois. He had a fetish about cutting his own flesh and licking his own blood. He was friends with a horror movie fanatic named Russ, as well as two others named Burt and Wendy. Russ had encountered the living killer doll named Chucky, and convinced his friends to perform a séance to summon Doctor Death - the man who first taught Chucky how to transfer his soul from one body to another. When the spirit of Doctor Death manifested, he warned the youths against trusting Chucky. After the séance, the lights went out. David went to the kitchen to gather some some candles. Chucky stabbed him through the upper leg with a large kitchen knife, then pounced upon him, driving a second knife through his mouth. He then stabbed him with seven more knives, turning him into a human pin cushion. (Child's Play Vol 1 1)

Halloween[]

Dave was a young man from Haddonfield, Illinois who was a teenager in the late 2010s. He was dating a girl named Vicky, which ostensibly made him a friend of Allyson Nelson. He was a student at Haddonfield High School. While walking to school with Vicky and Allyson one day, the subject of the infamous serial killer Michael Myers was brought up. They spoke about Allyson's grandmother, Laurie Strode, who was a survivor of the 1978 killings. Dave asked Allyson is her grandmother was Michael Myers' sister, but Allyson told him that that was simply an urban legend that was drummed up so people could feel better about themselves. As they continued to walk, Dave amused himself, as well as the girls, by placing firecrackers inside of jack-o'-lanterns and lighting them up.

The Lost Boys[]

David was a youthful looking vampire, who appeared to be around the age of twenty. He operated out of the beachside community of Santa Carla in California and was the leader of a pack of vampires known as the "Lost Boys". David was of lesser station than the head vampire, Max, who was the maker of David's allies, Dwayne, Marko, and Paul. Max was also responsible for slowly transforming a young woman named Star and a boy named Laddie into vampires as well, though Star seemed to gravitate towards David as if he were her master. David and the Lost Boys routinely stalked the areas surrounding the boardwalk. After nearly coming to blows with a group of Surf Nazis at the carousel, they were run off the boardwalk by a security guard. That night, after the shops closed down, David and the others took to the sky and attacked the guard in the parking lot, killing him.

Piranha[]

David was a minor character featured in the 1978 predatory animal film Piranha. He was played by actor Roger Richman. David and his girlfriend Barbara Randolph went hiking through the woods as part of a personal camping getaway. They came upon an old, closed down military testing site, which included a large pool. Sneaking into the restricted area, Barbara suggested they should go swimming to clean off before climbing into their sleeping bags. David was concerned that the site might have been a sewage treatment plant. The choice was taken away from him however when Barbara pushed him into the water. She dove in after him, but suddenly David felt something nipping at his leg. He thought Barbara had bitten him, but in truth, it was a school of mutated piranha fish. Attracted by the blood, more piranha swarmed in and killed him. They then killed Barbara shortly thereafter.

  • Is the first piranha victim featured in the film.

Poltergeist: The Legacy[]

David was the illegitimate son of Damon Ballard. Damon's father - a wealthy and powerful businessman, wanted nothing to do with a "commoner", and wanted Damon's mistress to abort the child. She had the child and tried to bring a paternity suit against Damon, which his father made disappear through his contacts in the judicial system. Ten years later, the mother sent a photograph of herself and her son to Damon, then committed suicide. The boy drowned in a bath tub shortly thereafter. David's ghost blamed Damon for abandoning them, and took his revenge by tormenting Damon's second son, Michael Ballard. Damon finally apologized to the spirit, and begged him to leave his son alone, insisting that he should take him instead. David's spirit agreed to this, and took Damon body and soul into the afterlife. (Poltergeist: The Legacy: Sins of the Father)

Vamps[]

Dave was a motorcycle-riding vampire responsible for turning five young women into vampires as well. Dave was not only their master, but operated as their pimp as well, sending them out to procure fresh victims for him. None of the vamps were allowed to feed without first providing for their master. Ultimately however, they grew tired of this practice. In 1994, the Vamps decided to fight back. After watching Dave engorge himself on the blood of some bikers, they ambushed him, tying his limbs to four separate motorcycles, then speeding off, tearing his body limb from limb. The Vamp known as Howler then pounced upon his torso, driving a wooden stake into his heart. They buried the remains in separate shallow graves in the hills of North Carolina.

David was resurrected however, and returned to get revenge against his former brides, particularly Howler. He tracked Howler to the foster home of her son Tommy and engaged in a brutal throw down with her. He tried stabbing Howler with a broken sofa leg, but Howler evaded the blow, biting off a piece of David's face. David's other former bride, Mink, appeared outside the window of the house and fired a crossbow bolt that pierced David's heart. While incapacitated, the vamps dismembered him and packed his remains into five separate backpacks to be disposed of later.
