I'm watching that right now. Never has a man wearing a damn turtle neck looked so menacing.Gustof26 said:Jerry Dandrige, from the original Fright Night. Not only is he one of the best horror villains ever, he's next to Dracula and Carmella as one of the most frightening and memorable vampires ever put on the big screen.
Captain Rhodes from day of the dead. The man is, plainly, a psycho. The ease with which he throws aside "Frankenstein's" possibly z-war ending research is shocking, the crazy look in his eyes is terrifying, and the lengths he goes to in order to maintain control over the bunker are cruel and vicious.
Showing that "we are the real monsters" is a huge cliche, especially in zombie films, but George a Romero did it well with a human villain that made the zack practically loveable. Especially bub. You gotta love bub.
And really, do you have to care about cliches when you practically made the genre?
y'know what? I'm gonna mention a horror game villain. You can't gorram stop me!
Silent hill. Itself. It's not a town, it's an entity with it's own agendas and sick ways of making YOU fulfil them. It simply disappears roads to force you onto a certain path. It shifts to an even worse state when things were starting to look up, it tricks you, manipulates you, makes you relive and confront your worst moments and impulses, and it never even had the decency to fully explain itself.
Until the damn western developers got their mitts on it. Gorram homecoming...
I actually like Ghostface the most. Well, until they take off his mask, but the idea of him I like. He's not special in any way, he's just really tenacious and crazy as fuck. I mean, half of Ghostface's screen time, he's getting the shit kicked out of him, but he just keeps coming. I like that. And because he's not supernatural or anything, it's all the scarier because it's something that could actually happen. It's just a psycho ************ with a knife and a cheap Halloween costume.
I'd like a movie that was like a combination between Scream and Friday the 13th: it's one person terrorizing a lot of different people movie to movie, only that person is Ghostface and that's all we know about him (or her). No backstory, no closure, no justice: Just Ghostface and whoever he kills.

You got me, all I know it is one of the Hammer Dracula movies, and from Lee's apparent age probably from the late sixties, early seventies rather than the first couple. Lack of moustache rules out Jesus Franco's version from 1970.Gaiseric said:Tell me what movie that picture is from and I'll watch it.octafish said:Christopher Lee, your horror films aren't old enough.
Also someone mentioned Brad Dourif earlier, that exposes a terrible lack of Chucky in the poll.
3 words my friend.Gaiseric said:
Michael . . . Fucking . . . Myers.
Simple, effective, and unstoppable. It got a little weird with some of the sequals trying to explain why he was the way he was by using cultist magic and runes, but thankfully the 2 movies that did that, were both
1. far off from each other
and
2. COMPLETELY retconned out of the timeline by everything else. Making Myers just a big ass dude who you can't put down for shit. One of the most genuinely scary moments of my childhood was the ending of Halloween when
The good Doctor shoots Myers with a revolver, emptying all six hollow point rounds into his chest and that knocking him over a balcony, then looking down over it after the music lulls to say "the beast is dead" only to find . . . he's not there! he's GONE! and there's NO BLOOD.
PS. The Rob Zombie movie only sucked, because they FORCED HIM TO COPY THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT FROM HALF WAY TO THE END. The opening half of that movie was a BRILLIANT redesign of Michael and a GREAT explination as to why he killed people. Hell, watching the life that kid had I wanted to kill his douche father MYSELF as well as those kids at the school.
My vote is Pinhead and ot the lesser degree all the other Cenobites. The combinations of cool and creepy and quite frankly style and panache means they hold my interest more then Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers. Kruger is a close second for the same reason but I find he strays a bit to the corner of Cartoon Boulevard and Wacky Street sometimes for taste.
That was a really cool ending and scared the crap out of me back in the day.[/quote]
definitely, I've honestly wanted there to be more endings like that in the horror movie industry. Sadly there are not, all too often we have just the vague mention of the next installment.
Really Saw is one of those few series that has had a similar ending. Remember watching the first Saw? and then at the very end

the corpse from the middle of the floor that's been there the whole move GETS UP AND WALKS AWAY
Freddy Krueger. Not the remake, mind you. The original played by Robert Englund. Michael Myers is a close second though. I grew up watching both Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween so they both hold a special place in my dark, twisted, horror-loving heart.
I'm boring. So my vote is for either Jack Torrence (God, Jack Nicholson is scary) or The Devil. Y'know. From the Exorcist. For still scaring me despite the fact I was born in the 90s and shouldn't be freaked out by 70s special effects.
