What is Kevin from?

Question

In Cabin in the Woods there is a board with a list of monsters on it.

between Deadites and Mummy in the lower left there is Kevin. I am Kevin. I would like to know what monster reference this is to, as most of these are references to other movies.

Answer 1

From the Visual Companion to The Cabin in the Woods:

Some stuff had to get cut from the monster rampage sequence at the end. The Angry Molesting Tree, which you can glimpse in the elevator in one scene, got much more molest-y in another shot, which might wind up as a DVD extra. Also, one of Goddard's favorite monsters was Kevin, a sweet-looking guy who seemed like he might work at Best Buy — until he dismembers people.

Answer 2

I just stumbeled across this movie title the other day, and it reminded me of this question. The movie title was We Need To Talk About Kevin. I believe that this may have been the movie that was being referenced on the white board. here's part of the plot synopsis from Wikipedia:

Adolescent Kevin Katchadourian (Ezra Miller) is in prison after committing a massacre at his high school. His mother, Eva (Swinton), a once-successful travel writer, lives alone in a run-down house and works in a mall travel agency in a town near the prison where she visits Kevin. She looks back at her memories of him growing up as she tries to cope with the anger and hostility of her neighbours, who know her to be Kevin's mother. Her memories are shown in flashbacks.

Answer 3

"Kevin" is an analogue to "Jason" from the Friday the 13th movies. (It may also be a reference to Kevin Williamson, the writer of the Scream films.)

Answer 4

Have you watched Sin city? I am supposing that Elija Wood's character Kevin could be the reference. I thought it could be a take on Jason from the story writer's perspective.
