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)
Lost Boys[]
Planet of the Apes[]
David was a human who lived on the outskirts of Ape City in the year 2070. He was married to a woman named Beth and had a grown son named Jason. One evening, when Jason was late getting home for supper, David noticed an alarm outside. A gang of hooded gorillas attacked the household with clubs, crossbow's and torches. They set the house ablaze, and David struggled to keep the fire contained. One of the gorilla attackers shouted "Death to all humans!" and shot David in the back with a crossbow bolt. (Planet of the Apes 1)
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.
The Walking Dead[]
David was a Caucasian male in his apparent thirties living in the U.S. state of Virginia. David became a member of a militant survival group called the Saviors, who ran a protection racket with the surrounding communities. Gary was often part of an armed convoy that would visit the communities on scheduled visits to collect their "tribute", which consisted of everything from food to weapons to supplies. He was often seen in the company of Laura and Gary. During the Saviors' first visit to the Alexandria Safe-Zone, David raided the infirmary, but was caught by Carl Grimes, who held him at gunpoint. Through the pleading of Carl's father, Rick Grimes, as well as the enforcement of Negan, Carl was made to lower his weapon. David later taunted another young resident named Enid, taking her balloons, and refusing to return them until she said "please" in a manner to his liking. On the Saviors' second visit to Alexandria, David and Gary intercepted Rick and Aaron and inspected the goods they had procured. They found a note, which they mistakenly believed was meant as a sign of disrespect, so they beat Aaron up as a form of punishment. David was present outside the gates of the Sanctuary when Eugene Porter was first brought into captivity. When the Saviors captured Sasha Williams, David came to her cell. She asked for a cup of water. David agreed to do this, but in return, he wanted her perform sexual favors for him. Sasha told him to "Go to Hell", but this did not deter him. He pulled violently on her shirt, ripping it. He then began undoing his belt buckle with the intent of raping her. Negan came into the cell at this point and stopped him. David apologized to Negan, but the leader did not accept his apology. Instead, he drove a large knife through the side of his throat, killing him. He left the corpse on the ground, as well as the knife, so that Sasha could decide for herself whether she wanted to prevent David from reanimating. She elected to plunge the knife through his forehead as he began to revive. (Walking Dead: Something They Need)
