Top 10: Scariest Horror Movie Villains
They’re the baddest of the bad, and if these freaks find you, you’re dead. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’re counting down the Top 10 Horror Movie Villains.
It started out as a pair of insane teenage killers playing the part of a ghostly murderer. But even after Billy Loomis and Stuart Macher got a taste of their own medicine, they inspired several unhinged copycat killers. And who could forget that Loomis tried to score with Sid right after trying to kill her.
As a boy forced to dress and act as a girl, Angela takes her revenge out on others by brutally killing anyone who looks at her funny. Her tortured childhood, coupled with disregard for human life make Angela one of the most vicious horror killers to slash on the silver screen.
He is an old dying cancer patient that loves puppets and is responsible for the grisly death of a lot of terrified people. Sure, he doesn’t actually kill anyone with his own hands, but his traps and challenges go well above frightening.
He started out as Charles Lee Ray, the Lakeshore Strangler, but used voodoo to bring himself back from the dead. As a living doll, he murders countless unsuspecting victims, all so he can sacrifice a live boy.
Nobody finds clowns funny anymore, period. Pennywise from Stephen King’s “It” spent centuries haunting the nightmares of innocent children and preventing them from reaching puberty. And thanks to him, we all have an unusual fear of sewers and the circus.
You do not mess with Rob Zombie’s psychotic family of serial killers. They kidnap and kill bystanders at random and no one gets out alive. And let’s not even mention Otis and his fetish for wearing other people’s skin as clothes.
Michael Myers is a mental asylum escapee with a major beef with his younger sister. Seemingly unstoppable, this killer never says a word and wears a mask modeled after the face of William Shatner. That alone got him in the top 5!
Jason drowned while in the care of the camp councilors at Camp Crystal Lake. As a result, he returns on the anniversary of his death to put a stop to teenage partying as an indestructible zombie with a love of hockey and slicing blondes with his Machete.
Inspired by a real-life serial killer, Leatherface is especially brutal and disturbing. There are fewer things as gut wrenching as a large lumbering man in a white shirt and a black tie, wearing an expressionless mask, emerging from his house with a chainsaw raised above his head with an urge to chase you down.
He started out as a simple child molester and killer, but moved on to savagely dispose of teens and nosy adults as they slept. As a living nightmare that killed people in their dreams Freddy takes the top spot for his sheer invincibility, and use of horrid creativity.
