ALYSSA! I've become a Subordinate!

I know there have been "things you don't want to see" before, but this one has a twist. Think of the one thing that scares you most about the film... and then think of a way that idea could be saved without being outright discarded. For instance... I fear: Eleazar Burroughs being described as "a fire and brimstone preacher from the 1800's." I'm afraid he'll be a ranting, glassy-eyed caricature I've seen in a zillion other movies that try to portray fanatics without even a minimal understanding of how fanatacism works or looks. Scissorman is the backbone of Clock Tower. He cannot afford to be a boring stereotype. But it could still work if: Instead of patterning Eleazar after Christabella, they pattern him after either Mary or Dan Burroughs (you know, characters who're actually from Clock Tower?). For instance, the "Dan version" could be a cold, logical manipulator who serves up his "fire and brimstone" because his followers eat it up, not because he believes it, the way Dan strung along Kay and Harris by telling them what they wanted to hear. The "Mary version" could be clean-cut and respectable on the surface, charming, charismatic, and seemingly protective; someone viewers in the audience could see themselves trusting. Also, give the man some real scissors, fer cryin' out loud. Any others?
