Re-hashing Horror movies:
Y'know, lifting the plot and baddie in toto and inflicting them on "beloved" characters.
Like many people ask of Horror writers, how messed-up are these folks? Putting the Ranma 1/2 cast through Saw or Se7en seems a little, I dunno, off? And leaving the dialogue from the movie mostly the same?
I mean, a Horror story with more original elements I can see. Like a "Twilight Zone" -ish loss of persona or humanity for the Jusenkyou victims, or a gradual Lovecraftian reveal of how alien goddesses really are in Aa! Megami-sama!
Again this is just "recasting." Many characters in anime are well-suited to the genre they are originally from, but their roles in Horror are way different.
80's horror movie version of Naruto: Either Sasuke or Naruto would be the "slasher" of the piece. Either Sakura or Ino would be the survivor, but my money is on Ino because she's blonde. Everyone else dies messy deaths, especially if they break all the rules from Scream....

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
