Favorite Horror/Slasher Film Villain

[newyorkjetsfan]

It's a tough choice.

[camarozz]

Freddy Kruger Baby!!!!

[The Girl from Ipanema]

There's so many to choose from, but right now, it's Baby from House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects.

I loved them on The Devil's Rejects.

[The Girl from Ipanema]

Me too. The clown guy creeped me out something awful though.

I guess that was his job. :lol:

[Drawz]

Michael Myers.

Especially after Rob Zombie revisting the story.

[PeterGriffin]

Woodland Critters.

[Dragon1963]

Vincent Price as Professor Henry Jarrod in the 1953 version of House of Wax.

[ressurectedUltraSaiyanUSA]

heh. easily jason voorhees.

[Gaetano "Tommy" Lucchese]

Slasher films suck.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose was the last movie that genuine inspired a feeling of dread in me.

So, I guess my answer is, the Devil inhabiting the body of a young girl.

[Gaetano "Tommy" Lucchese]

I would have picked Hannibal Lecter, but they totally ruined him with Hannibal and Hannibal Rising. The books and the even worse movies.

[ressurectedUltraSaiyanUSA]

oh yeah.

also the entity that possessed linda blair in the exorcist.

[Dragon1963]

Let us not forget Dracula.

[Apatriot]

It's a tough choice.

Hannibal Lector without a doubt.

[Nik Notorious]

Woodland Critters.


Agreed. A vicious lot they were.

[snagswolf]

Chucky.

[mysticbeauty_nbeast]

Hannibal Lector without a doubt.

Got my vote too...Doctor Hannibal Lector...as he was in Silence of the Lambs...creep city but with manners and class....spppoookky!

Devil come in close second...as in the Exorcist (couldn't sleep for a week!) and The exorsism of Emily Rose...(bothered me for a few nights) both waaaay deep in creep factor..and not a damn thing you can do about it. So yea....the Devil merits a close second to Hannibal.

It's a tough choice.

I love this question. My favorite is Jason Voorhees but Michael Myers runs very close, and sometimes they're tied. I love horror movies, I'm a screamer so I think I'm fun to go to horror movies with. Halloween is always a big deal at my house, we do a dummy that looks like Jason. 1 year I was doing the dishes and looked out of the kitchen window and my husband was standing there with the Jason mask on and the machete. OMG! did I ever scream!

I got to meet the best Jason ever, Kane Hodder at an autograph show a couple of years ago, he was a really nice guy. Out of all the celebrities who were there, I was most excited to meet Jason. I also met Lar Park Lincoln at the same show, she was the girl with the kinetic powers in Friday the 13th part 7, she was so nice, and btw that was also Kane Hodder's 1st appearance as Jason.

For anyone who lives in NJ or the NY tri-state are, Chiller Theater puts on 2 shows a year in Parsippany NJ, the shows coming up are Oct.30-Nov.1, Kane's not on the list yet but he usually comes to the show, here's the line-up so far, check the site often because the guest list is constantly updated:

Now that I think more about it, Death in the 'Final Destination' series has a flair the others don't have. Obviously a big fan of Rube Goldberg, but with a strong sense of humor. And doesn't have all the psychological hangups like Jason and Michael. (Boo hoo, your mother made you do it.)

[Ballygrl]

Chucky.

Awwwww, I forgot about Chucky. The Bride of Chucky was so good, Tiffany was evil in that movie.

[brouski]

Freddy Kruger Baby!!!!


This right here.

Mrs. Voorhees was whacked in the head, but Mrs. Myers seemed pretty normal in the John Carpenter version of Halloween from what we saw, it was Rob Zombie who made her psycho.

[Ballygrl]

I can't get into Freddy Kruger, and I was a little annoyed they made Jason a dumb wimp in the Freddy vs Jason movie. The Director and Producers were definitely pro-Freddy in that movie.

[snagswolf]

Awwwww, I forgot about Chucky. The Bride of Chucky was so good, Tiffany was evil in that movie.
While most I've talked to think it was over the top, Seed of Chucky is my favorite. The part where he was in the bathroom trying to obtain a 'sample', and she helped him out by flashing him, was classic.

The sexual comments in both Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky were so :)).

[snagswolf]

Yeah, I was referring to the Zombie version of Michael.

And even Zombie made her fairly normal - she was only a psycho in his mind.

I consider myself a horror movie purist and I got kind of ticked off at Rob Zombies 1st Halloween movie. I haven't seen the new 1 yet, I keep debating about seeing it because I loved the John Carpenter versions.

I found the 2nd Zombie weird in that it didn't follow in the direction his first one started on. His first one tried to show Michael as 'real', and attempted to answer the questions of how he had turned into the killer he became. The second one (without giving too much away) raised more questions than it answered.

I liked Zombie's first, not so much his second (neither as much as the original).

The best one absolutely SUCKED in the movie, but the book had me turning every light in the house on.........................................in the daytime.



Pennywise from It. Scared the living crap out of me.:eek: :( :((

[ressurectedUltraSaiyanUSA]

thanks for the info ballygirl.

but i almost forgot Jigsaw from the Saw series.

[newyorkjetsfan]

thanks for the info ballygirl.

but i almost forgot Jigsaw from the Saw series.

I love Jigsaw. Can't wait to see Saw VI.

I also liked Death from The Final Destination films. Also, don't forget Leatherface for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[DougBH]

Although it was made long before I was born, nobody ever surpassed Lugosi's Dracula. That's a special accomplishment since it was made right at the beginning of talking movies, so they were probably still trying to decide how to work that in.

He's the reason I fear clowns now.

But, I have to go with Norman Bates...for psychological...

Slasher films though...Michael Myers.

[Ballygrl]

How the heck did I forget Jigsaw? He definitely has to rank as the most intelligent and creative villains of all time.

[Ballygrl]

The Mummy from 1932 is 1 of the scariest movies ever made.

I agree... Great movie :).... really gets you thinking..

[Andrew_980]

I bet you can guess mine

[CaptainPike]

I always like Freddy Kruger. But my opinion is somewhat biased...

My dad had recorded Nightmare On Elm Street part 3 and there were certain nude scenes... I was young. You do the math.

You gotta admit, without the T&A slasher flicks just wouldn't be as good.

[CaptainPike]

I bet you can guess mine

Can I guess yours without insulting you?

[CountryGirl]

Pinhead. Give me the CREEPS.

[angelicmadrigal]

Let us not forget Dracula.

Oh come on, Nosferatu is WAY nastier than Dracula.

[Dragon1963]

Nosferatu is Dracula. And the Stoker family sued the heck out the studio that produced the original silent version for royalties. The Stoker's won.

[Samm]

I have no favorite slasher film or slasher film villain... they are all crap. The only good scary movie in the last several years was "The Ring."

[blackcatrun]

I have to agree...The Grudge now theres a movie that will keep some lights on.

[Vic Daring]

While I, too, prefer a quality, creepy, suspense-driven, scary film, I'm not a snob about it and I love me a good slasher flick.

Cast my vote for Jason Vorhees. Menacing, strong, determined and, brutal. And that mask!

[Nik Notorious]

Two posts in this thread, and both times just to agree with someone else. I really should get my own opinion someday. :)

[VCaddy05]

.

+1 The stupid part is i still like em and watch them when i can, but am always dissapointed. And now the movies arent even scary in the least, they just try and gross you out more and more, and out do the next movie. Its absurd!

[VCaddy05]

What i have always said about the movie that has instilled probably the most fear in people is JAWS. Watch that and go out in the Ocean round midnight and tell me it doesnt get the hair on the back of your neck to stand up!

Aw, c'mon y'all! Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance in The Shining, FTW!

One thing I never got with the fear of sharks that Jaws created (and the book was just about as huge as the movie), is that if you're afraid of sharks, just stay out of the damn ocean.

If you're sitting in your house in Kansas, and you're afraid a shark might get you, you have larger problems than a fear of sharks.

HAHA very true, but im from the coast so i dont think about the people in kansas! except on sunday for the game!!!

haha, good call, but dont speak too soon, it may freak you out so bad youll grow hair just to stand up!!

[CHUG]

I'd agree Hannibal Lecter, but I'm going to go with Brian Cox's performance is Michael Mann's Manhunter, way more chilling than Hopkins "Silence of the Hams".

Then again from the same film you have Tom Noonan as Francis Dollarhyde.

"You owe me AWE!!!"

[NascarGirl2448]

Really don't have one. I'm not into horror films.

[snagswolf]

Did you ever see Jason X? and the super duper mask?

Big fan here of Jason X. I know some of the Friday fans hate it, but I found it fun. The 'virtual Crystal Lake' was a howl.

Virtual girls talking to Jason:

"Hey, do you want a beer?"
"Or do you wanna smoke some pot?"
"Or we can have premarital sex?"
[takes off top] "We love premarital sex!"

Then Jason puts one in a sleeping bag and beats the other with her.

[Buschb]

Wolf Creek's Mick Taylor

Or like Tommy noted just about anything that deals with posession

[angelicmadrigal]

Nosferatu is Dracula. And the Stoker family sued the heck out the studio that produced the original silent version for royalties. The Stoker's won.

Well yes, but if you see the later Dracula movies it's not really the same character. That dude was SOOOOO ugly.

That was so :))

I told Kane when I met him that I thought Jason X was the best Friday the 13th film. I know some people hated it, but I loved it.

Did you see the most recent Friday the 13th? Derek Mears is the new Jason, I thought he did a really good job, he moved so darn fast though as if he was on speed. If you saw it I'm just wondering, and I can't figure it out, why didn't he kill the girl he held captive all that time? was it because she was wearing that locket that had a picture of Mrs. Voorhees? or is it because he thought the girl looked like his Mother?

In Manhunter, I believe Brian Cox was on screen for only a few minutes, if that. He didn't have a chance to give a good performance.

[enki]

Michael Myers.

Especially after Rob Zombie revisting the story.

Agreed! Except for the Rob Zombie part...

[Dragon1963]

Well yes, but if you see the later Dracula movies it's not really the same character. That dude was SOOOOO ugly.

And Bram Stoker made Dracula a fairly handsome. I'd say the best Dracula was Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

[angelicmadrigal]

And Bram Stoker made Dracula a fairly handsome. I'd say the best Dracula was Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Well that's because Stoker's orinigal work had a lot of sexual metephor in it. Nosferatu, left all that out.

[Dragon1963]

Well that's because Stoker's orinigal work had a lot of sexual metephor in it. Nosferatu, left all that out.

Yet in every other detail it was the same story. IMO Nostferatu was campier than many of the Dracula films made by Hammer productions.

[BryanC]

Bela Lugosi's Ghoul Man from Plan 9 from Outer Space. Best horror movie ever.

[Dragon1963]

Bela Lugosi's Ghoul Man from Plan 9 from Outer Space. Best horror movie ever.

I thought Plan 9 was a comedy.

[oakleaf98]

I choose werewolf as the best horror film villain.

[BryanC]

I thought Plan 9 was a comedy.

There's nothing funny about "future events such as these which will affect us in the future."

[Paul31]

Freddie or Jason.

[Justus]

Does predator count?

Michael myers is good too, love the older films, good times...

[JudasGoat]

this used to scare the crap outta me when I was a kid...
