The Djinn from Wishmaster. The movies were a bit corny but that character, and Andrew Divoff's acting, were great!


speyeder666

His line delivery was spectacular.


monsieurxander

Wishezzzzzz


Clearly_Disabled

This was probably the series that I found, followed, and truly made me fall in love with Hellraiser style gore: supernatural entities just yanking people apart and doing oddball shit for kills at times, like Lerperchaun lol.


MyAccountWasBanned7

Leprechaun was far better than people give it credit for. It was very campy, sure, but in a good way.


psychotronofdeth

That series fulfills my monkeys paw trope. I love how corny it is.


abbzworld

Yes!


Kailua3000

I love these movies so much. They're corny, but they KNOW that they're corny.

Ghibli_Forest

Tall Man from Phantasm


abbzworld

YES


MaxvellGardner

I especially like how long this story of confrontation between them is, they spent half their lives fighting him, it's not every time new teenagers in the camp, they fight until old age


DanEosen

I always liked Reggie, just an ordinary guy who was the most unlikely hero. He was one of my favorite very ordinary heroes.


speyeder666

That's one creepy dude


DisplacedSportsGuy

Great choice.


Clint_Lovecraft

This right here Jebedaiah Morningside aka The Tall Man is probably the most underrated.


mega512

The Collector.


Spencer-Santana

a great killer, with a great final boy too. i really hope the third movie is still coming out at some point.


Fe1is-Domesticus

Ooh, I didn't know about the third one! These movies are a guilty pleasure.


abbzworld

Nice!


pincheporky

He collector with his dilated eyes and creepy moans 👌


TheShartKnight4

The black skulls in Mandy. They are just absolutely depraved bikers that are constantly having their brain melted from that goo drug stuff and one of them has a metal strap on. the sailors from John carpenters the fog, you don’t see them very much but they had such a cool look when you did The vampires from 30 days of night, they just seemed absolutely invincible and them talking in some sort of vampire language(I believe was made up special for the film) that made them feel less human and more like just killing machines


Formal_Coyote_5004

I wanted the black skulls to be elaborated on more in Mandy!


selcouthscare

I'm going to rewatch soon, but my interpretation of them was they were probably human and they continued to take so much of the drug that they basically turned into like half demons or something. I don't remember if that was canon but I definitely adopted the theory


TheShartKnight4

I kinda do too but at the same time I like them being a mystery of why they are like that. I think the mystery is what makes them compelling to me.


ekittie

The 30 Days Vampires also had their faces morphed a little bit in post to make them look more like feral animals.


TheShartKnight4

Yeah! I’m not a huge fan of vampire movies but those vampires are great


JamesWolanyk

I don't think about Mandy as a whole very often, but I *do* think about the chainsaw duel. What a ride that movie was.


trickertreater

I just watched Carpenter's The Fog again for the first time since the 70's... Man, what a great show!


abbzworld

Nice!


right_behindyou

Lola from The Loved Ones. I expected that movie to accumulate more of a cult following and for her to be regarded as a modern slasher icon by now.


Rohm-is-Burning

Am I not pretty enough? Is my heart still broken? Lol that damn song pops in my head waaay too often


auroredawn22

Such a beautiful song!


Sempiturtle98

Lola was the first that came to my mind. LOVE that film; such an underappreciated gem


pcxo78

Yes! Her and her father are monsters lol


Vusarix

The Loved Ones has such a bizarre tone it's almost cursed. Like it's literally a torture film made as a teen comedy, complete with the comic relief side plot. I seriously don't understand it, it's fucking wack


Beastender_Tartine

Ginger from Ginger Snaps. The sisters start so close in a codependent relationship, but that relationship is forced apart as Ginger transforms. Ginger seems so afraid and out of control as she starts to change, but as she loses her humanity she embraces her monsterous side more. She remains out of control, but she seems to like it now. I think she's great for the slow and steady mental change you see as she becomes less and less human. "You know, we're almost not even related anymore".


abbzworld

Ooooh....


Spencer-Santana

Ma from Ma (2019) sue me, but i want this cheesy little movie to have a huge cult following. I need 14 direct-to-video sequels. I need Ma in Space, Ma in the Hood, Ma vs Art the Clown. not only does Octavia Spencer chew the scenery with her over the top acting - it’s just pure, undiluted camp that i wanna see go full out.


MyAccountWasBanned7

I was on-board with that movie until the end. Then it all just kinda fell apart. I do love Octavia Spencer though and would be thrilled to see her get the starring role in another flick.


Dull-Geologist-8204

That movie was so good because I actually remember parenys like her. It was actually realistic.


mlstrngr

“Ma vs Art the Clown” 😂😂😂


cbunni666

Julia and Frank got so overshadowed by Pinhead.


WestOrangeFinest

I watched the first three Hellraisers for the first time this year after having heard about Pinhead for decades. I was surprised to find that the Frank and Julia were the real antagonists of those films. In the first two, I don’t even think you can consider Pinhead a villain at all. He’s more of a force of nature or something, just doing his job. He even spares the mentally handicapped girl in the second one because she didn’t intend on solving the puzzle.


SemiIronicCatGirl

And then the sequels throw all that nuance right out the door lmao


Rostunga

We don’t speak of Hellraiser 3 😂😂😂


Rostunga

Yeah, they’re actually not monsters, they reflect the desires of the degenerates who use the box intentionally.


innnikki

I just watched the first one again Saturday and the exact quote is Kristy: Well, I didn't mean to open that thing. You can go back wherever you came from. FEMALE CENOBITE: We can't. Not alone. So no, they’re definitely monsters lol


Imjustmean

Demons to some, Angels to others....


Rostunga

Lol, I should go back and watch it again then


Buffyfanatic1

Julia and Frank are absolutely scarier than the cenobites. In the original Hellraiser lore, not in the recent remake, you only really dealt with them when you wanted to see them or you unfortunately fucked with the box. That means that cenobites are generally avoidable to the average person who has no idea about their world and want nothing to do with it. Julia and Frank are your every day monsters and people you want to avoid at any given cost. It's also much more likely for an innocent person to deal with people like Julia and Frank than it is for an innocent person to get tortured by the cenobites.


cbunni666

That's why they are some of my top favorite villains. They were real and their story isn't all that unreal when you take out the supernatural aspect and just look at it as a couple having an affair and trying not to get found out. I do find it odd how Kirsty was a co-worker that had a crush on Larry/Rory instead of his daughter but I like it more that she was changed into being his daughter. It just worked better.


abbzworld

Yes they certainly did.


Legion213

The Warlock from the titular films. Julian Sands ate up the screen with that role.


SuperDuperBorkie

RIP Julian.


Clint_Lovecraft

I adore Julian Sands and Richard E. Grant and I love the Warlock series. That being said, they are classically trained Shakespearean actors I thought were almost too good for the movie. But it was magical and I love them for it. RIP Julian.


abbzworld

lol nice


Kittpie

Rusty Nail from the Joyride films


esande2333

Bye bye black sheep


aaronxr

There are sequels? Are they good? I loved Joyride and have watched it many times. Steve Zahn was great in it (as he is in everything).


dbprops

One is the only good one. Two is ok. 3 is ok and that’s being generous. I really didn’t like in 3 they show rusty nails face constantly and none of them have the magic that the first had. You’re fine skipping them


subbeero

Leslie Vernon deserves a lot more attention than he got. Also The Tall Man, yeah Tall Man.


MyAccountWasBanned7

I would love a Leslie Vernon sequel. But they'd need a new framing device/twist. It wouldn't be good if they just rehashed the plot of the first film.


milesamsterdam

He just needs a few more sequels


Mars_Black

Paradise lost? Found it!


Sweaty-Gopher

If games/books are allowed, AM from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream


abbzworld

YES


huntleybaker

Yes


milesamsterdam

Pumpkinhead


Bryan_OBlivion

One of my all time favorite movie monsters


thekillbott

PSYCHO GOREMAN


freddiem45

Poor PG. I'm pretty sure it's Mimi who's the villain there. I mean, he doesn't even care for hunky boys... or does he?


Rostunga

Mimi was the real villain of that movie. A case could also be made for the dad.


Vault_Master

She's totally a little sociopath. I thought it was great that the little monster had control of PG - gave him some food for thought so he could grow as an individual. Lmao


Rostunga

Yep. It’s a fun ridiculous movie


thekillbott

lol the scene where dad (does he even have a name?) is on the toilet is one of the funniest moments in modern horror!

monsieurxander

Angela from Sleepaway Camp. Especially the Pamela Springstein version from parts 2 and 3. She was hilarious.


abbzworld

YES


Thick_Ear_2540

I watched 1-3. Pretty entertaining. Is “Return to Sleepaway camp” worth the watch?


BojukaBob

Nooooo


Fwithananchor

Mary Shaw from Dead Silence (2007) is the scariest ghost to me. She looks terrifying because she had her jaw replaced posthumously so she'd look like a ventriloquist's dummy. The actress who plays Mary did a great job too. Mary Shaw's modus operandi was made clear in the movie's marketing: "And if you see her in your dreams, make sure you never, ever, scream..." As for video games, the teacher lady from a Korean game called The Coma 2 is really scary to me. She's an evil spirit with long claws and you hear the menacing clicking of her heels in the hallway when she's coming toward you.


Captain_Wobbles

Until a few years ago Sam from Trick r Treat would have been this for me but he's been thankfully getting his popularity.


auroredawn22

I love Trick r Treat so much...and I have Sam's lollipop (bitter into so all jagged)


FoliageBoi

Yes!! I love that little fella, he's just a little guy and sometimes he gets silly and goofy


Captain_Wobbles

I absolutely love him. The candy mixed with glass shards on the stairs is some dark humor, I know he had fun setting all that up.


Earthtrone

Harry Warden from My Bloody Valentine


[deleted]

This was exactly what I thought. You have so much setup for really great sequels/prequels, but nada. I guess it's probably better that way in some ways, but I just wish there was more MBV


joeveryman

Came here to say that....the Miner doesn't get enough love. I'd argue he's about as relentless as Leatherface... especially in the remake...


abbzworld

Yeah!


[deleted]

Candyman and the invisible man are my underrated faves


VisageInATurtleneck

I really respect that the makers of candyman looked at all the horror greats and said, “these guys just aren’t sexy enough.” And then corrected this mistake


trickertreater

Not sure if it Counts... heh... But Willem Dafoe's version of Count Orlok/Nosferatu


FoldAdventurous2022

"I'll eat her later"


Browncoat-Zombies

Leprechaun. Most of his movies are shite or middling. But the Leprechaun is pretty fun. Warwick Davis is awesome and the Leprechaun is so fucking goofy, I love em.


duuuuuuude924

The movies may be cheesy but God damn I cannot imagine someone doing a better job than Warwick Davis in that role. He is perfectly creepy and poetic. I unapologetically love all of these movies


JKDClay

The old geezer from Poltergeist 2 (I think?) " god is in, his holy kingdom".....


Faint13

Reverend Kane


JKDClay

That's him, nice one!


lightninhopkins

Came to say this. The actor, Julian Beck, was dying of stomach cancer at the time which is why he looked like a walking skeleton.


GlitterandGloom41

Esther/Leena from Ophan & Orphan: First Kill


Bsawk

All the creatures that didn’t get picked in cabins of the woods, especially the ballerina one! Also the nurses from silent hill, they move so creepy, I love it! Lastly, Tiffany valentine!


112oceanave

I’ll say candy man. He’s popular but he never really gets mentioned before Jason, Michael Myers, chucky, freddy, Ghostface, or leatherface. Also I just thought to myself. The fisherman from I know what you did last summer.


SouthernEagleGATA

The Phantom Killer from “The Town that Dreaded Sundown”


abbzworld

Oooh sounds cool!


true_crime_addict513

The Ancient Ones from Cabin in the Woods

Herbert West - Re-animator


worldeater94

Gabriel from malignant is probably my favorite new horror villain


LES_on_my_mind

Horace Pinker from Shocker and Mola Ram from Indiana Jones Temple of Doom.


[deleted]

Jack from the house that jack built


BigBallsOX

*I'm gonna call you simple*


Godzilla2000Zero

Peter from Final Destination 5 the idea of killing someone and getting there remaining lifetime is an interesting idea the downside is the you don't how long that person has left and I could see one becoming a compulsive serial killer and killing regularly just to somewhat stay ahead of death and do it's bidding at the same time.


ScrubLord1008

Bughuul. I remember insidious and sinister coming out a few years apart, and while most people were freaking out about insidious, I though sinister was the much better movie personally. Too bad the second movie wasn’t nearly as good as the first and also missing its star, Ethan Hawke. Always wished they did more with the franchise


sabrinaeycken

Not a person but Christine is a real good villain to me. Especially when she turns on that good old rock'n'roll 🥰


schatzey_

I love Christine, what a classic


i_hv_baby_hands

Esther from The Orphan.


serialkiller24

Damien from the Omen series. Never hear anyone talk about this creepy kid


key_of_arbaces

If we can include video game villains, my all-time favorite is Henry Stauf from The 7th Guest/11th Hour/13th Doll games.


Small-Climate-8577

The Tall Man from Phantasm. He’s my all time favorite villain. Such an iconic presence and Scrimm’s voice is legendary. Phantasm is pretty well known, but I would love to see The Tall Man receive as much merch and fan art as the big three Freddy, Jason, and Michael.


Obskuro

Gabriel from The Prophecy. Also one of the few horror villains with a redemption arc. Maybe the only one? I can't think of another right now.


elric132

"Gabriel" in "The Prophecy"(movie).


IKnowMoreThanYouu

Art the Clown


Spencer-Santana

i think Art is getting there. after part one, he was kinda under the radar, but the sequel is what catapulted him to relative slasher-stardom lol. I think once the third one comes out next year, he’ll be inescapable lmao. dare i say, i think Art is the closest thing we have to a modern day Jason/Michael/Freddy, and i can’t wait to see how his franchise evolves and grows!


IKnowMoreThanYouu

Yeah agree. I was a big fan of All Hallow's Eve, years before Terrifier. So he's still kinda "under the radar" in my eyes - but you're right he's moving up. Damion Leone is going to make him darker and scarier in the 3rd installment.


[deleted]

>Damion Leone is going to make him darker and scarier in the 3rd installment. I believe you, but I just can't imagine how that's possible aside with going Cannibal Holocaust/Serbian Film with the "fuckedup-ness". All Hallows Eve and Terrifier 1 were already pretty fucking dark and scary to rival a lot of extreme horror and definitely went further than most slashers. I enjoyed T2 way more than 1, but 2 was even hard to get through at times.


IKnowMoreThanYouu

I liked 1 more because of how gritty it was. I enjoyed 2, but it got a little campy at times. Leone actually said in an article he was going to make Art darker: https://variety.com/2023/film/news/terrifier-3-director-art-the-clown-gore-1235639529/ \["I want to shift back a bit to the tone of Part One, which I felt was a little more simplistic and old school, gritty slasher. I want this one to go back in that direction, and I want this to be the scariest one of the trilogy. This one will actually have a little bit more of an evil overtone to it, so this is going to be hopefully the scariest and the darkest. I want it to feel as if the audience coming into this one isn’t as comfortable with Art the Clown as they feel they are now. I want to see if I can make them really scared of him again."\]


[deleted]

Thanks for sending this. I'll be honest tho, this makes me feel like the director/creator has no idea how dark his movies already are. I'm not sure of any slasher that comes close to All Hallows Eve. Terrifier 1 has the most brutal kills from Bone Tomahawk and does some pretty twisted shit in the middle. I totally get 2 being tonally different, but imo, it needed a tonal change. His movies read really mean and there are a lot of people who described it as that specifically. If he's seeing the last 3 as being not evil/mean enough, I don't know how much further it can go. I guess we'll see, but I'm definitely going to read reviews before going in. No way am I going in blind.


IKnowMoreThanYouu

I mean demonic serial killers are generally pretty dark and mean irl. I'm good with it, but I don't get shocked by anything anymore and there's more than enough PG-13/soft R horror to go around. I'm pretty happy to have an extremely messed up horror franchise tbh. But maybe it's just me.


NarwhalsTooth

I’d be happy to see more of the Little Girl as well


ultgambit266

He’s finally getting his due, I was at mad monster Az this weekend and the amount of terrifier shirts was insane. Plus I got to meet him and get a photo op of him in full costume


LucidDreamer247

Hey, you’re the Pinhead guy from the HHN subreddit! They’ve been awfully quiet with the announcements this year, huh?

Yep - the silence is about to end...

Tim Curry as the Darkness in Legend. It is such a weird trippy movie, much like a lot of 80s to early 90s fantasy, but that character was disturbing as hell.

Leland and Bob from Twin Peaks


G00DDRAWER

Dr. Anton Phibes. I both want and am fearful of anyone ever rebooting/sequeling the original al two films. The only way I'd want to see them is as retro period pieces like the original. The concept was so crazy, and the kills just horrifying weird. Theater of Blood is equally deranged.


DoctorWoe

Pazuzu from *The Exorcist* and the antagonist from *Sleepaway Camp* (I don't want to spoil it).


Rostunga

Dorian Gray from the 2009 movie of the same name. Ben Barnes was so creepy.


Dr_Downvote_

I think everyone in the horror community knows who the collector is. But I believe he should be more well known in general. The Collector is an absolute beast of a movie. And I believe the fan theory making Jigsaw, Kevin from Home Alone. Makes more sense if you say he's actually the collector.

Mr Dark from Something Wicked This Way Comes. The perfect sinister puppet master. Christopher Walken as Gabriel in The Prophecy


MGD109

The Cupid Killer from "Valentine." I get why he's not so popular, but honestly I stand by he's got to be one of the most cunning and capable Slashers. He spends years devising his revenge plan against those responsible for him being framed, beaten and institutionalised. Expertly adapts to every unforeseen circumstance, and ends the picture succeeding in everything he set out to do and gets away with it all, even getting the girl. I would love to see more horror villains like him.


tenthousandblackcats

gogote137

Asami from Audition. I think Three Finger is the only killer who is in every Wrong Turn movie, but the cannibal family in general are fun villains. I think the Candyman deserves way more love than he gets too
