you needn't defend your picks because I wasn't attacking them. You can class 'em any way you want to. I was just making an observation that Peter Lorre, Mitchum, and several others did not seem even in their worse characters to be all that horrible to me. For instance, Mitchum in the role illustrated seemed more demented than evil to me. Doesn't make it any less frightening if you were caught in a dark alley with a knife-welding maniac. But like I said, that's just my observation, not strongly enough held to even qualify as opinion.

Poltergeist II

The Reverend Kane scares the bejeesus outta me.

"You're all gonna die in there! All of you! You are gonna die!"

The Wish Master I should say

For me, it would have to be Freddy Kruger. At the time, he was one of the most innovative and horrific antagonist in A Nightmare On Elm Street.

There hasn't really been a character like him ever since. I know he got a bit silly with the increasingly rubbish sequels but he terrified me in the first and 3rd films.

Also the fact that Craven based him on a real person from his child hood is a little creepy!

My favs:

John from Saw


Chucky from Childs Play

For me, right now it's "The Woman" (La Femme) from "Inside" (À l'intérieur).

She's pretty danged vile.

She is more creepy in the original film, less CGI works better in the original.

What can I say about horror that I haven't already articulated a million other times in a million other ways, ... absolutely nothing. The horror genre is simultaneously one of the worst genres of movies and one of my favorite genres, I love it to death, even if I can't figure out why. However, I am sure the iconic figures have much to do with it. I would have to say that even if well-over fifty-percent of his movies were godawful, Freddy Krueger is my favorite, probably because of Robert Englund's performance. Jigsaw comes a close second simplistically due to his focus on coherency and reasoning behind what he does where as someone like Michael Myers simply does what he does because he's "the embodiment of evil". Pinhead and the other Cenobites had a good idea around them, Clive Barker is a very creative and talented storyteller, but on the big-screen, nothing good game out of it. Jason from Friday the 13th was a rip-off of Michael Myers, that's not opinion, he was made as a cash-in to the series, and I think it shows. The first movie was, in my opinion, one of the worst movies of all-time, and it hardly got better as things progressed, it wasn't until Freddy vs. Jason that the character pulled out a performance that really did it for me. Leather-Face was a joke, and Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill, The Collector, and so on, never really did grasp my allegiance. Chucky from Child's Play was alright as well, very admirable performance with the character, but it never got to achieve greatness because of how quickly it went on a downward spiral after Child's Play 2.
