Why not just an original piece with the character/s you want?
Dunno, just going off a scene seems like you could do a bit better...talk with an artist some...they'll ask you questions that will help you come up with what you want.

Though I suppose if I was going to go with an actual SCENE? Or something inspired by a scene?
The Krueger coming through/stretching the wall from NOES1.
See, that's more an impression "inspired by" the scene...so no Nancy, no bed, just that going on using the skin as the "wall"...and it's something that would trigger memories of that movie, that scene. You could put the quote "This...is God" on there someplace.

I always liked the Critters "red eyes" through darkness as well, I'd probably throw that in too.

But that's just me.

See this is the kind of back and forth that you'd want from a good artist that gives a fuck about the actual job, at least...they'd probably advise against doing anything scene for scene too.

Do some stuff in your head first though.
Think.
What actually scared you, or left an impression.
Make yourself a list.
Then think about what you liked about that scene, that movie, that character.
Carpenter and King have a lot to work from - but...do you like them?
Tats should always come from YOU, yeah?
