The general interpretation of the hippie movement often borrows heavily from various sources from the Flower Power movement and John Lennon. Pacifism, free love, multiculturalism, and tie dye in the face of authoritarian conformity. "Make Love, Not War". What pop culture tends to forget was that the hippies were a counterculture movement. There was a lot of activism going on, and not all of it was sitars and sit-ins. People got hurt, people died, and everyone with a political incentive against them would latch onto these "indiscretions" and milk them for all they were worth. Pop culture would take the negative stereotypes that were spread and would demonize hippies, creating various evil examples in fiction. Horror Hippies are firmly against materialism and repression, and are often portrayed as drug fiends who are mainly addicted to psychedelics, such as amphetamines and hallucinogenics note with LSD and marijuana being the main drugs. These drugs often caused hippies to commit a lot of drug-induced crimes, i.e. kidnapping innocent people, rape, murder, torture. Hippies often took these drugs because they believe it expanded their consciousness. Hippies were also said to be very unhygienic, leading to the spreading of all sorts of diseases, either through their dirty clothes, unwashed bodiesnote Hippies often used patchouli oil to mask the scent of drug use , or through unprotected sexnote the Manson Family were famously known to suffer from sexually transmitted infections, namely Gonorrhoea. Oftentimes, these were likely a result of being so hopelessly drugged out that they simply forgot to wash themselves or they were unable to differentiate real life from their hallucinations. Horror hippies are almost always portrayed as subordinates to a more able-minded, charismatic, and sociopathic leader who promises to lead them to revolution. with the hippies themselves either being drug-fueled savages, brainwashed soldiers, or anti-government terrorists/killers. Horror Hippies often spawn from communes, with many of their stupid ideas stemming from a petri-dish of brain-cooking narcotics until they turn from quaint little clubs to horrifying cults. Many examples of the trope borrow heavily from Charles Manson and the Manson Family's involvement in the Tate-LaBianca Murders, the various characters being Expies and Stock Parodies of them and the event that made them so infamous. Compare Animal Wrongs Group, Folk Horror, Hillbilly Horrors, and The Quincy Punk. Contrast Granola Girl, Hippie Teacher and New-Age Retro Hippie. Often involves Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. |

The Wicker Man (1973): The residents of Summerisle are free-love pagans with an affinity for costumes, public sex, and nature. After a film of teasing them as child murderers, it turns out the child, Rowan Morrison, was safe. But it was all a ploy to ensnare Sgt. Howie, who they burn alive. | |

Mariska from Lollipop Chainsaw is a member of the Dark Purveyors, a group of Revenant Zombies summoned to San Romero High School from Rotten World by Swan to initiate the Zombie Apocalypse. As her title - "The Queen of Psychedelia" - implies, Mariska is a zombie designed to look and behave like a Granola Girl. She is armed with a sitar and her powers are based around illusions, a reference to the Hippie Movement's propensity for experimental narcotics. | |

One of the early threats DV8 fought was The Twist, a small superpowered cult-family run by a Charles Manson expy called Menlove, who pushed his young, impressionable charges to commit subversive crimes For the Evulz. Further investigation revealed that Menlove was actually a former International Operations instructor who got kicked out for molesting one of his charges... who turned out to be Bliss, who promptly killed him after realizing that he was her abuser all those years ago. | |

Darkwing Duck: In "Heavy Mental", the F.O.W.L. psychic division consists of a disgraced major and two hippies, none of whom have powers. While the hippies don't appear aggressive on their own at first, they're willing to do whatever Major Synapse wants (as long as it lets them avoid latrine duty). After gaining psychic powers from a stolen SHUSH device, they get mad with power and gleefully help abduct Darkwing and almost crush him under a block of ice, becoming finally indistinguishable from their superior militaryofficer. | |

In the Community episode "Digital Estate Planning", the earliest enemies faced in Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne are hippies that attack the players. They're surprisingly tough for an early enemy. It should be noted that the game was developed through the vision of someone who would find hippies villainous. | |

Halloween Horror Nights: The 2023 Orlando event had the scarezone Vamp '69: Summer of Blood, in which Dr. Oddfellow unleashes a clan of vampires on a small town in upstate New York during a hippie music festival in 1969. Many of the attendees get turned, resulting in a horde of vampire hippies running around killing everyone in sight and then dancing amidst the carnage. Several details, particularly references to a biker gang called the Blood Slayers, also allude to the Altamont disaster. | |

Brandon Whittaker from Dead Rising 2 is a member of the C.U.R.E. Zombie Advocate group with the appearance of a Dreadlock Rasta, who goes insane during a zombie outbreak and decides to help the zombies by capturing people and giving them to the zombies to turn them. When Chuck interrupts one of Brandon's attempted turnings and objects to it, Brandon responds by trying to stab him with a large shard of broken glass. The Off The Record DLC gives him a more important role and makes him a bit more sympathetic by revealing he was the one who started the outbreak in the first place after being manipulated into it by TK and Phenotrans, and he snapped from guilt and denial over being responsible for so many people's deaths. | |

In Ghosts (US), Flower, a hippy in the 60's, wandered over to the mansion property from a local music festival. She was high at the time and tried to give a bear a hug. Seems bear-hugs with real bears aren't as much fun. | |

The killers in the Poker Face episode "Time of the Monkey" are two elderly hippies who planned to bomb a high-school Model UN meeting in the 1970s. In the present, when the informant who exposed the plan back then is transferred to their retirement community, they poison him. Then they murder a fellow resident who witnessed part of their plan (even though she didn't fully understand what she saw). They also repeatedly try to kill the heroine; even as they're being arrested, she realizes that they rigged her golf cart to explode. | |

Jeremiah Sand from Mandy (2018) is a failed folk musician who became the leader of a hippie cult called the "Children of the New Dawn" after experiencing what he claims to be a religious epiphany. Despite using Christian rhetoric and symbols and preaching free love, he is portrayed as a self-absorbed tyrant who controls his followers with psychedelic drugs and practices occult rituals to achieve his goals. The film's main plot kicks off when he kidnaps Red's wife Mandy to forcibly indoctrinate her for no other reason than his own selfish desire for her, and when that doesn't work, he has her burned alive while Red watches helplessly. | |

Played with in the DuckTales (2017) episode "The Lost Harp of Mervana!". When they discover a strange civilization of hippie merfolk, Louie and Beakley immediately jump to the conclusion that they're going to be sacrificed to some monster, king, or god. There is a monster, but the hippies don't even know about it; they're harmless as they are now. The twist is that living underwater in idleness causes merfolk to turn into monsters, and their only escape is to return to the surface and build an actual civilization. As Scrooge lampshades, the episode's moral boils down to "get a job, hippie." | |

In Midsommar, the Harga are technically pagans. However, they live in the Swedish countryside, all share one room, allow themselves to be guided by nature, and participate in public sex rituals. And on top of killing themselves ritualistically, they also lure and ritualistically murder all the tourists due to the festival that happens every ninety years, except Dani. | |

The Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Way to Eden" features a group of space hippies who dress barefoot in free-flowing tie-died clothes and flowers, sing folk songs, and are led by the charismatic Dr. Sevrin (a pretty transparent Timothy Leary stand-in). They're a cult in search of the legendary planet Eden, which turns out to be uninhabitable thanks to the fruit being extremely poisonous and all the leaves and flowers being laced with acid — no, not that kind of acid — resulting in several deaths. | |

The Venture Bros.: The episode "Viva los Muertos!" features Corrupted Character Copies of the Scooby Gang named "the Groovy Gang". The Groovy Gang were a group of mentally disturbed amateur detectives that travel the world in a van to solve mysteries that may or may not exist. The group consists of the insane, violent-tempered, and self-righteous leader Ted (based on Fred and Ted Bundy), the weak-willed kidnapping victim Patty (Daphne and Patty Hearst), the angry, feminist-extremist lesbian Val (Velma and Valerie Solanas), the paranoid, jittery hippie Sonny (Shaggy and David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz) and the terrifying, possibly possessed dog Groovy (which may just be Sonny hallucinating him talking, Ted with-holding his meds from him). While the Gang purportedly existed to solve mysteries, Ted never seemed to have a clear definition of "mystery", and, in reality, the Gang seemed to make their living by looting the buildings they would break into during their adventures. | |

At times, he slaps and abuses the girls with zero response from the others, they all share clothes, and they end up committing mass murder. | |

In Martha Marcy May Marlene, the cult is a commune-like place which (ostensibly) believes in free love and the women are shared with the megalomaniacal male cult leader who uses sex as a ritual and does...something to make sure he "only has boys." They break into a house and kill someone, plus Martha is utterly convinced, and terrified, that they're coming to get her back. | |

Angel, Angel, Down We Go (1969) has a hippie rock band move in with a wealthy Hollywood family. The charismatic lead singer of the band seduces the lonely, overweight daughter and then her mother— and arranges for the mother to have a skydiving "accident". Quickly retitled Cult of the Damned after the Manson murders; also one of the last films of Jennifer Jones (who plays the mother), giving it a touch of hagsploitation. | |

Codex Equus: Princess Voľná Láska is a Deer goddess who embodies the negative aspects of the Second Age Hippie movement, which rose in response to the various wars that plagued Ponyland. She dresses like a hippie and is high all the time, but is also a depraved hedonist who gets pleasure from doing drugs, and believes there's no wrong time to get stoned. However, she's a Noble Demon who directs her evil towards constructive purposes like testing mortals with temptations of what they desired most to the point of addiction, and punishing those who died unrepentant for crimes relating to her portfolios. Ironically, Voľná's genuine attempt to cure her chronically-tired adoptive father using drugs led to him transforming into an Eldritch Abomination and other disastrous consequences because the drug itself was too powerful. | |

The Punisher: The Punisher: P.O.V. miniseries involves "Deke" Wainscroft and "Zonkers" Powell, a pair of former 1960s radicals and Western Terrorists who use clumsily assembled homemade explosives to hold banks for ransom, blowing them up if their demands aren't met (and sometimes even when they are). While the duo claim to be all about power to the people and bringing down The Man, it's clear that they're just a pair of lazy idiot stoners who never spend any of their ill-gotten gains on anything other than booze, drugs, and women. Unfortunately for them, one of Zonkers' bombs blows up in his hands, killing Zonkers and badly burning Deke, who shortly thereafter is exposed to an experimental super-soldier serum. The chemical transforms Deke into a deranged, disfigured, and nigh-immortal superhuman with a thirst for blood and Zonkers' decapitated head melded to his chest — one particularly disturbing scene (lovingly rendered by Bernie Wrightson) features Deke mumbling '60s counterculture slogans while feeding blood to Zonkers' head. | |

The "Father Earth" arc of Judge Dredd has the eponymous Father Earth (a Plant Person with flowers growing on him) lead a band of mutants and outcasts from the Cursed Earth to attack Mega-City One, deeming it responsible for the state of the world. They succeed in breaching the wall, but they get sidetracked into an area containing alien man-eating plants that hypnotize their prey. Father Earth willingly lets himself be eaten by one, believing it's a god. | |

Daredevil: Fad Super villain Angar the Screamer is a stereotypical long-haired hippie whose screams cause people around him to hallucinate their worst fear. Although he supposedly started out as a social activist, he mostly used his powers to commit crimes for personal gain. | |

As Once Upon a Time in Hollywood features Charles Manson and his followers, this is to be expected. Although Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth intervene before they can commit the Tate-LaBianca murders as they did in real life, the menace they pose still hangs over large parts the film. | |

Tom Weathers from "Wild Cards" is a man who walks around shirtless, has long flowing hair, uses a peace sign medallion as a weapon and likes to talk about the Revolution, the Man and Amerika, even taking the alias of "the Radical." He also sees nothing wrong with using child soldiers and has a story of using his immense power to help revolutionary countries only to decide at one point that the leaders aren't Marxist enough and murder them. | |

The protagonist of Last Shift is terrorized by a group of ghostly hippie cultists (obviously inspired by the Manson family) who killed themselves in the jail where she's been stationed for the night. | |

Subverted in Veronica Mars. When she and Keith need to investigate a Cult-like group a boy from her school got involved with, they learn that the group is populated with animal loving, hard working, peace loving hippie types who are inspiring the boy to be a better person than the Jerkass he was before. Veronica and Keith expect that they have a darker side and it was played very dramatically when Veronica ended up hanging out with them herself, but this isn't the case; the group really is as genuinely kind as they seem, and any danger they presented was all imaginary. | |

Olive Branch from Erfworld was a Hippiemancer who specialised in Flower Power. Most Hippiemancers despise war, but Olive was perfectly happy to put her talents toward war and killing, and did so mainly out of spite. She killed at least ten of her siblings, tried to kill her father and took control of her side by getting her Ruler hooked on a horrific drug that she also used to kill off her fellow casters from spite. Olive was a master at poisons and drugs, and didn't discriminate, happily manipulating and torturing anyone she felt deserved it in her quest for dominance. | |

The Sick Sad World episode "Cult Classics" deals with well-known murderers Charles Manson and Jim Jones. The former founded a free love-style cult and wanted to start a race war. The latter was a preacher and an outspoken supporter of civil rights who descended into power hunger and ended up killing himself and most of his following. | |

I Drink Your Blood has a group of asshole Hollywood Satanist hippies assulting people in a small town; the grandson of one victim and the brother of another decide to deliberately infect them with rabies. Definitely an improvement. | |

The Big Cube (1969) also has a touch of hagsploitation, as it's one of Lana Turner's last films. She plays a wealthy woman whose daughter, under the influence of her hippie boyfriend, decides to speed up her inheritance by gaslighting her with the help of surreptious doses of LSD. | |

The Ωmega Man is a downplayed example: the group of albino mutants are not explicitly coded as hippies (their leader, in fact, was a newscaster who snapped after surviving the initial outbreak), but the fact that they call themselves "The Family" is very telling. | |

The final Quatermass serial presents a hippie-like movement called the Planet People, who are being mind-controlled by a malevolent alien force. Luckily, old people's brains are unaffected by the mind control, so are able to save the Earth from the pernicious influence of hippiedom. This was made in 1979. | |
