OCTOBER 18: EIGHTEEN OF OUR FAVORITE VILLAINS


PINHEAD (Hellraiser series) - For a guy that wears a dress, he's pretty damn terrifying.  Harvesting human souls and dooming people to torture, anguish, and a fate worse than death?  Yeah, he's got the right idea when it comes to being as big a villain as it gets. ~CH

LESLIE VERNON. (Behind the Mask; The Rise of Leslie Vernon) - Who knew serial killers were so much FUN to hang around with? He is just so charming, I just wanna hug hi--oh wait, he kills people. Shit. ~MR

DEXTER MORGAN (Dexter).  Someone who is a serial killer in his free time, ol' Dex has been trying for seven seasons to figure out whether or not he has a heart - and whether he actually feels anything while he is slicing and dicing his victims. It makes for a multi-layered, virtuoso performance from Michael C. Hall, and a helluva good character. ~CH

FREDDY (A Nightmare on Elm Street series) - I grew up on some Freddy, starting at perhaps an unhealthy age, and through the years we have formed a sort of bond. I love his puns and his crazy kills, and of course, his sweater. Oh, and Robert Englund's the shit.~MR

JENNET HUMFRYE. Otherwise known as The Woman In Black, this baddie can hold a grudge like no one else in horror.  Be it on stage, on the big screen, or between the pages of a book, this disgruntled mama is leaving nothing but death and despair in her wake. ~CH

STUNTMAN MIKE (Death Proof) - Nothing says serial killer like virgin Pina Colada's. I don't know if I would have given the Stuntman a lap dance, but I will give him the award for most bad-ass weapon.~MR

KYUNG-CHUL (I Saw the Devil) -This dude means business.  There is no rhyme or reason to his madness, he just wants to kill people. He's violent, audacious, and unbelievably cruel.  Overkill is a word I would use in describing his techniques. Scary, scary guy! ~CH

BEETLEJUICE. He may be pretty repulsive but damn is he funny! I wouldn't mind living on the little model town with him and partying at that strip club. Sounds like a good time to me.~MR

GAVIN DORAN (666 Park Avenue) - Terry O'Quinn always puts his game face on no matter what he is a part of, so even though we're only a few episodes in, I'm pretty sure his character on the new ABC show is the devil incarnate.  How deliciously fun! ~ CH

HANNIBAL (The Silence of the Lambs) - An intellectual and a cannibal. What a fascinating guy! He is a little off-putting though, and he looks at you like I look at candy corn and pumpkin pie.~MR

MALIFICENT (Sleeping Beauty) - Yes, I know it's a Disney film. But hot damn, she scared the ever loving shit out of me when I was a kid and she still does.  Bonus: she has a raven. As a pet.  She's wicked, but she rocks. ~CH

JASON (Friday the 13th series). Doesn't talk much... HUGE momma's boy... terrible style... why do we like him again? Oh yeah, because he's fucking Jason Voorhees, the machete-weilding maniac!~MR

LORD SUMMERISLE (The Wicker Man) -A somewhat reserved villain, Lord Summerisle's method of getting to his victims is pretty much all words. You never actually see him killing anyone, but he is directly responsible for using that Wicker Man for the reason it was intended. And let's face it - it's the silent ones that you have to watch out for. ~CH

MICHAEL MYERS (Halloween series). One creeeeeepy guy. We are too damn scared to keep this guy out of the best baddies club. Only he can rock a spray-painted William Shatner mask and make us shriek!~MR

ANNIE WILKES (Misery) - Liberace lover, pig advocate, rabid reader of trashy romance novels...Oh yeah - and completely off her rocker.  "He didn't get out of the cockadoodee car!!!" ~CH


RUSSELL EDGINGTON (True Blood) - Wealthy and suave and sassy as hell, he'll tear your heart out... literally.~MR

LOLA STONE (The Loved Ones) - Nothing says love like drilling a hole into someone's head and pouring boiling hot water into the brain.  Perhaps Brent should have just went to the damn prom with her... ~CH

TATE LANGDON - (American Horror Story, Season 1) - Sensitive and sweet, adorable and alluring. If he wasn't completely psychotic and downright evil, I would let him haunt my house for as long as he wanted. ~MR
