an alternate version of this legend to his girlfriend Suzy in his flashback. The story has, however, most often been depicted and referenced in horror films. Its prevalence, according to film scholar Mark Kermode, is most reflected in the slasher film, functioning as a morality archetype on youth sexuality.

The slasher film Final Exam opens with a scene in which a couple are attacked in a parked car, and later, a student is murdered in a university locker room with a hook. Campfire Tales (1997), an anthology horror film, opens with a segment retelling the Hook legend, set in the 1950s. I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) features a killer stalking teenagers with a hook; at the beginning of the film, the central characters recount the Hook legend around a campfire. The Candyman films of the '90s, as well as its 2021 Jordan Peele update, is centered around this legend as well. Lovers Lane (1999) is a slasher film featuring a killer who murders teenagers at a lovers' lane with a hook. The story has also appeared in various television programs; "The Pest House" (1998), the fourteenth episode of season 2 of the TV series Millennium, opens with a murder similar to that of the urban legend. Season 1, episode 7 of the TV show Supernatural features a hookman as the villain. It is the first story in the first episode of Mostly True Stories?: Urban Legends Revealed. The Canadian animated anthology series Freaky Stories (1997) has a segment in its first season based on the Hook, set in the 1950s. The story is referenced in "The Slumber Party" episode of Designing Women. A parody of the Hookman is used in SpongeBob SquarePants, season 2, episode 16: "Graveyard Shift" in which Squidward, in an attempt to scare SpongeBob out of his wits while they are working at night, tells a made-up horror story of the "Hash-Slinging Slasher" – a dark, faceless figure donning a raincoat who has a rusty, old spatula in place of a hand.
