Best Horror Movie Characters

Yeah, he looks very scary!

He is the best

Has the only one here that is not gay or lesbian

Jason is the top dog, nobody can beat him and he has his iconic hockey mask and he seemingly can't be killed

Stupid ass, he's been killed before, yet like the rest, he comes back to life

He is the best horror icon out there he could easily defeat jason or freddy or anything you throw at him

Michael Myers is simply just the best

Myers 4 number 1

He can come back to life in peoples nightmares and has very very sharp claws

Fred Krueger is truly evil. Both Michael and Jason has shown weakness as to where Freddy has never. Freddy simply just does not care, he killed his wife, attempted to kill has daughter and had a dire hatred for his mother. Michael showed weakness for his niece in Halloween 5 when he took of his mask for her and even shed a tear. Jason is just a big mama's boy and is scared of water lol. Chucky the doll is harder than Jason.

I believe he is the best. And Robert Englund is the only Freddy. And I love them both, or I could just say I love Robert. So confusing. But he is the greatest because he is a joker and a really scary killer and will get you in your dreams-- something unavoidable as I have said/

Freddy is easily the most popular/best of all these characters. But he's not the scariest since he makes jokes and you want to see him win...But if you base this on only the first movie, then he's the most terrorizing.

I haven't seen any of the child's play films but the fact the I found out a real life serial killer put his soul into chucky the "good guy" doll actually makes what I know about it less scary.

To be honest, he started off with great potential but (While I really don't mind this) his arc turned into a child vs doll thing. I really loved him in Child's Play 1 where he acted creepy and horrific. I loved him in Curse of Chucky where he reverted back to his creepy, sadistic ways. - Daviddv0601

I saw the box for this movie once when I was 4 and hid all my dolls downstairs - Queen-aholic

He's a doll that was possessed by a man who murders, and being a doll sure makes it easier. He gives you the chills, and won't ever leave you alone until you get rid of him for "good good".

I can't call him a killer or psychopath...he just builds all sorts of devices to teach bad people a lesson. I think he's a good guy. I hated watching the part he gets punched and kicked around by the violent and stupid police man! I felt so sad when I continued watching and hearing his story, now I hate crackheads more than ever. But don't worry, I won't go around kidnapping people and put them in torture chambers and let them do dumb choices and get their limbs get sliced off, or burn from acid - Oldia

Jigsaw/John Kramer is creative, however he never actually kills any of his victims. He is really original and finds twisted ways to his victims to kill themselves. Unlike Michael Myers he and Jason kill people for vengeance and not because they are bored. However I think that he is more original than Jason because there isn't a horror movie character that punishes people like Jigsaw

Jigsaw is creative. Unlike most horror movie characters, does not use a machete or claws to kill people, he uses his wits, and simliar to Jason Voorhees, he generally kills people who do bad things.

He's the only horror movie killer who hasn't killed anyone. He's intelligent and says really meaningful things and in most horror movies, when the killer dies, it's over. Not in Saw. The games have only just begun. - Catlover2004

Eats children parents call security. Sewers worst place to go

HE IS TERRIFYING AND AMAZING! He turns into children's worst fears. Come on, he is OBVIOUSLY the best!

Most scary turns in to your werst night

Just perfect, he nailed it

Remind me not to cross his path. - PandaMan

"I'm going to have a friend for dinner." Ya dont say. - fireinside96

He is the only one in the list who is possible in real life, so my vote goes to hl

He is very intelligent and easily capable of manipulating anyone to do his bidding. I thought he was still an anti-hero, but he still plays off as a horror villain as he brutally beats a security officer and eats the younger guy. Then he comes off with a major twist that I refuse to spoil because it is just so shocking, I wouldn't ant to ruin the experience for your reaction. And the ending, "I'm going to have an old friend for dinner." O_O - Daviddv0601

leatherface freaks the hell out of me! he still is the best with a chainsaw - 990055njsmith

It's not just Leatherface, it's his entire cannibal family that's scary! Leatherface is just the butcher. Still though, he is one of my favourite horror villains! - Daviddv0601

He was based off a real life serial killer named Ed Gein who did wear a mask out of leather and a belt out of people's nipples.

He is actually real and scary unlike Michael Meyers Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kruger - jflan51

Alien is the best horror icon out there in my opinion.
That second mouth really does a number in the first movie!

Very cool design - blackflower

Alien is definitely one of the scariest films ever made. Maybe even the scariest. Alien creature made many shocking things with humans - Irina2932

By far, the coolest and most elegantly designed horror character

I don't think it should be freddy vs Jason it should be PREDATOR vs Jason

The best the strongest the sexiest 💞

O-O scared me to death

Predator is U.F.O. creatura, werry good speed and power, Predator is half to flying and infiltrace of force. He go in the mask. The is pradator look mask, the of course creature.

Why is candyman not top 10 its because he's black man

Don't know because he should be number one since he's a lot more serious and captivating as well as being frightening and deadly. The character has a much more enthralling story and is more intriguing than any of the ones in the top ten right now. - PrinceZarbon

He is top 5.He is funny in Scream 1 and Scream 3

If we would be a villain in a horror movie we would be ghost face he watches so many scary movies and is funny and stupid and kinda clumsy worst villain but best plus started horror movies

He or she guts his/ her victims. He/she can disappear without a trace. Lastly it is a new person every time so you don't know who the killer is

Whats your favorite scary movie

The poor girl must have been scared too. That is if she was aware of what was happening while she was posessed. - blackflower

Whats more scary than a girl being possessed by a ghost, then having a deep voice while the bed rocks back and fourth. Shes screaming in real life! That's not acting! Plus, 9 people died on the set of this movie. It is seriously the scariest movie ever!

If you don't rank her in the top five then you don't know scary. I would put her up against any I mean any characters created today and she would and is the scariest character ever created.

I am really really really afraid of the demon girl!

It PUTS the LOTION in the BASKET! - Daviddv0601

Not only is he charismatic and intelligent, but he is a cold and calculating sadist that kills the spirit while forcing the mind and body to endure untold unimaginable suffering. Whereas other movie villains kill indiscriminately and without any remorse, he finds joy on an almost sexually gratifying manner of making you wish he was a ruthless killer.

pinhead is idestructible and immortal as well as jason but he could destroy jason any day of the week and 4 times on sunday

I'm a girl and I practically want to dress up as him for Halloween

Who you callin, Pinhead"

Such a complex character. You'd rarely see another character like Bates in a horror film.

Great twist

The key word here is "character." While Jason Freddy and Michal are all great villains, they are for the most part one-dimensional. Norman however is one of the most interesting and complex villains of all time, due to how easily people in real life could become him.

Norman bates is one hell of a psycho killer I don't get why he isn't in the top 10 honestly

Love her

The hobbling scene.., need I say more? - blackflower

She is every celebrities worst nightmare.

I love her!

If only she had a friend. Then the tragedy could have been avoided - blackflower

Teacher should show this movie in class so that bullies would better think twice before doing something horribly, horribly wrong.

You go Carrie you show those bullies whose boss.

Onethey all have super strength two jason has already fought a psychic

An ancient demon who arises every 23rd spring for twenty three days. Shows absolutely no mercy, pity, remorse for his victims. Can't die has extremely high strength able to swoop down and pick anybody (can fly) makes his weapons threw bones out of victims which are really sharp. Very intelligent in human technology able to fix and operate old trucks and cars and make them reach high speeds over 100mph. Can break solid metal with his bare hands can decapitate a person without any trouble. I believe he can Mach up against any of the characters on this list could take Michael Myers, Jason and Freddy at the same time without breaking a sweat. The creepers stomps. He's been around since the time of Jesus Christ. Nothing could kill a beast that has lived for over 3500 years and still living.

She’s pretty creative with her kills - blackflower

Why is she 33 really what! - DENISAE

One of my favorites - blackflower

Incredibly scary. - Userguy44

Samara scared the hell out of me. I couldn't watch the movie because I was afraid of watching her go out of screen.

This is probably my favorite horror movie ever.

The fact that I had to put him on this list is so depressing. You people don't know good horror movies.

He is in the best horror movie ever

He is pretty creepy in a good way

Here's Johnny! - Daviddv0601

The Phantom is mysterious and is willing to kill Raoul to be with christine. He goes around trying to hang people or put them in a trance. Pretty good stuff
