Top 10 Best Killers in Movies

From the hallowed halls of horror to the darkest corners of thrillers and crime dramas, these on-screen killers have kept us on the edge of our seats, frightened us out of our wits, and yet, in some bizarre way, kept us coming back for more.

It's a testament to the power of cinema and the talents of the actors and filmmakers behind these characters that they can evoke such strong feelings of fear and fascination. These killers represent the darker aspects of human nature, the horrifying possibilities that exist when morality is abandoned. And while they might be the characters we love to hate, there's no denying the important role they play in their respective films, driving the plot forward with their deadly deeds.
The Top Ten
1 Jason Voorhees Jason Voorhees is a character from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th as the young son of camp cook-turned-murderer, Mrs. Voorhees.

I Have To Say That Jason Is One of the Best Killers Ever To Be in A Movie, The Way he Is Seen for a split Seconed and then he is in front of you Pure scary, But I am Sad that they Spelt his name Wrong on Here, it Is Jason Vorhees.

WO Jason is awesome, he has such a cool persona, somehow, despite he's a crazy killer!

You don't with jason he'll rip your heart out!

2 Michael Myers Michael Myers is a character from the Halloween series of slasher films. He first appears in John Carpenter's Halloween as a young boy who murders his older sister, then fifteen years later returns home to murder more teenagers... read more

Jason cool but Michael the best. His mask definitely a lot better than Jasons hockey mask.

3 Freddy Krueger Fred "Freddy" Krueger is the main antagonist of the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series. He first appeared in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

Freddy Kruger was essentially, a child rapist and murderer. The clawed glove was his favorite weapon while he lived. He would kidnap children and kill them in a shack under a bridge. When the parents found out where he was, they Molotov'd the shack while he was in it, giving him a scarred appearance. As he was dying in the flames he was approached by spirits of the realm of dreams, saying that they needed someone to be the Nightmares of the waking world. This created Freddy Kruger the nightmare.

There's your back-story. Now compare with the above. Or just Jason. Guess who wins? Freddy.

4 Predator The Predator is a fictional extraterrestrial species featured in the Predator science-fiction franchise, characterized by its trophy hunting of other species for sport.
5 Jigsaw Jigsaw is a character from the Saw series. He first appears in Saw as a man whose wife passed away. After that, he did lots of tests on people.

Jigsaw could really shed some blood on the situation. Even if he's a bald old man, he has that creepy doll he uses to communicate. All of the saw kills are all so beastly and amusing.

He is smarter and more elusive than any of the killers here, plus he kills them in the most gruesome ways with a major body count.

6 Hannibal Lecter Dr. Hannibal Lecter is a character in a series of suspense novels by Thomas Harris. Lecter was introduced in the 1981 thriller novel Red Dragon as a forensic psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer.

Another total lunatic that presents himself as a gentleman. Nobody is more appealing than a distinguished cannibal.

7 Ghostface

Ghost face is a smart, deadly, freak I would say. Do you really want to hear your phone ring and have a insane killer on the other side! I don't think so

I like because my favorite killer in movie ghostface is smart deadly and word he said Do you like scary movies?

Billy Loomis is the coolest killer ever seen in a scary movie.

8 Leatherface Leatherface is a character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series and its spin-offs. He wears masks made of human skin and engages in murder and cannibalism, alongside his inbred family.

10 Norman Bates Norman Bates is a character created by writer Robert Bloch as the main character in his novel Psycho, and portrayed by Anthony Perkins as the primary antagonist of the 1960 film of the same name directed by Alfred Hitchcock and its sequels.

This clown is just good! Why? To start off. He has ability to be a human puppet. He can be Georgie if he wants to. He is also hard to be killed. He can change himself to anything. He is the clown who ruins kids life's if they are alone. Don't mess with that Crazy clown! Pennywise's design is 34X better than the 1990 penny wise.
