Who is your favorite horror movie villain and why?
Can be a character, a force, or simply an implied antagonist that is never actually seen.
Freddy Krueger!
I love the way he terrorizes and kills through people's nightmares. Something about the simple clawed hand with disfigured face that really works.
The Joker. He has almost everything planned. His lack of emotion is saddening and astounding. He lets nothing get in his way.
Hard to choose just one. Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and The Joker (if he counts as a horror villain) would top my list.
Hannibal Lecter. He was crazy yet highly intelligent and a villain that got under my skin and made like him despite all the horrible things he did.
Yeah, any villain that can get the audience to like him despite being evil is a great character indeed. Adds a lot more layers to him as well.
Freddy Krueger for sure. Always been my favorite baddie.
She's not exactly my most favorite -- I don't think I have one -- but I think Uma Thurman was memorable as Poison Ivy. ^_^
My favorite horror film villians included (1) Samaira, the creepy little girl-ghost with the long hair covering her face from the films 'The Ring and 'The Ring 2' for her murderous evil nature; (2) Pazuzu, the evil demon who possessed Regan in the famous film 'The Exorcist' - the disturbing consequences caused by this demon for the poor possessed girl such as the green vomit, full-turning of the face and spider-walk; and (3) the evil force in 'Paranormal Activity' film series - a chain of horrifying night experiences set by this demonic force faced by the 2 sisters - first as children and second time as grown-ups.
Dude from first twilight. He bit Bella. Wish that was me.
I definitely like Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise the best. I think Robert Englund does a great job of not taking his character to seriously, as he is both terrifying yet darkly hilarious in the movies. Also, the idea of someone coming to get you through your dreams is frightening, as sleep is something all living creatures need to survive. You can't hide from sleep forever.

It's a hard choice with Jason, Freddy, Chucky and others out there. My choice is Michael Myers who has been in 11 slashers counting the two brutal remakes.

Who is your favorite villain in any work of fiction?I would have to give votes to the Joker from Batman, Pennywise from Stephen King's novel IT, and Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars saga.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but being new, I'm throwing it out there. Who is your favorite villian - books, movies, tv, whatever? Book-wise, mine would be the husband from "Rose Madder." That guy is creepy as hell. Movie-wise, gotta be Maleficent.
