‘Downright terrifying’: readers on their scariest horror villains

Dr Freudstein – Home by the Cemetery

As a movie it tends to be thought of the weakest of Fulci’s huge 4 or 5, however a barely human any extra murderous zombie that lives in your basement and bleeds maggots is display nightmare perfection in my e-book. WisestHuman

Kunio Mamiya – Remedy

I believe what I discover so scary about him is that he’s fully affectless, and totally unimaginable to learn; he isn’t even the one straight chargeable for the graphic, motiveless killings that punctuate the movie. He meets the individuals who do the killing, he interacts with them with out actually interacting with them after which they go off to kill.

Different villains you may hate; different villains have at the least potential [cracks] of their armour. Mamiya doesn’t and on the finish of the movie, despite the fact that he dies, he does so having handed the remedy on to another person (the detective who’s been tailing him). How do you battle a villain who retains on killing, even after his loss of life? profp

Raymond Lemorne – The Vanishing

Raymond Lemorne in The Vanishing (1988) is the last word illustration of evil I’ve ever seen. Now that could be a movie I’ll NEVER watch once more. Bauhaus66

Though even from the very starting, you understand one thing isn’t fairly proper with Jack Torrence (he beat his son for instance) however the Overlook Lodge amplifies all his worst instincts. gbrading

Asami – Audition

Demure, kawaii, stunning and a predilection for wire saws.

“Kiri-kiri-kiri-kiriiii.” Daniboi

kiri kiri kiri kiri kiri … Asami is probably the most unhinged horror character of all time. The final half-hour of Audition is the scariest climax to any horror movie I’ve ever seen. Undecided I may watch it once more. Bauhaus66

Mrs Carmody – The Mist

You higher consider she would vote for Trump. cairnofmediocrity

Leatherface – The Texas Chain Noticed Bloodbath

Leatherface from The Texas Chain Noticed Bloodbath is probably the most unsettling and downright terrifying baddie I’ve ever seen. A basic villain in one of many best horror films of all time. elainedonne

Ben – The Innocents

Telekinetic powers apart, he’s an totally believable younger psychopath, vindictive and fully missing in empathy but additionally nonetheless a child and in some methods merely pushing the boundaries as all youngsters do. Should you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know what I imply by the notorious cat scene – it’s so upsetting as a result of we most likely all knew folks like this (or at the least on that spectrum) at college. goldbug30

Candyman – Candyman

I’m going to be a lone and esoteric voice by suggesting the Candyman. Even seeing the lead actor Tony Todd in interviews terrified me. Bushofghosts

Sadako – Ringu

Simply typing her identify offers me shivers. So scary. Herman12

Sadako from Ring is kind of clearly the scariest ever character in the entire historical past of the world. dale69

Buffalo Invoice – The Silence of the Lambs

Lecter is chilling, however Buffalo Invoice from the identical movie is equally disturbing. His hovering between insecurity and psychopathy makes him a extra practical character than the aged, statesmanlike Hannibal. Mikko

Damien – The Omen

That stare is genuinely unsettling and full marks to him and the director for producing such an unnerving efficiency from a six 12 months outdated. dale69

The Babadook – The Babadook

Its creepy croaky “Baba dook dook dook” haunts me to today. It was additionally an amazing second date film: we left the cinema nonetheless holding palms and we’re nonetheless collectively 10 years later. MrsAnneBlythe
