Top 10 Greatest Horror Movie Killers

Michael Myers is my all time favorite horror movie slasher! He is iconic in the horror movie world and I think, the most terrifying. First off, he doesn't ever run after his victims Instead, he just shows up out of no where and walks after them and he gets them almost every time. His mask is sp creepy. The Halloween movies give nightmares. What is also so interesting about Michael Myers is that what he is and does in the beginning Halloween movies can actually happen. This is what makes the movie so real.

If we are talking about the one and only Halloween movie directed by John Carpenter, then yes! Michael Myers is the top horror movie killer. Why? Because there is no motive or reason. Jason, Freddy, Chucky, Leatherface, Hannibal Lector... They all have a reason that they kill. Michael Myers is simply "pure evil". That is exactly what makes him so scary! He doesn't go after you because of something you did. He just has the desire to kill and you just happened to be around.

Freddy Krueger- Life of the party and king of one-liners. The fact that he can twist your dreams to create your ultimate nightmare is scary enough. Add in the spine-tingling rhyme and the sound of knives scraping over metal and you've got yourself the ultimate horror villain. What's more? He does it all whilst still showing off his sharp wit.

Michael, freddy, and jason are all amazing! Its really hard to choose, but if I had to I guess it would be freddy or Michael. I've always (since I was little) had a fascination with how freddy kills people in their sleep! Michael and jason are easier to escape because they are in reality, but you can't NOT got to sleep

Just F's your life up. Never has really shown a moment of weakness as Jason has numerous times (wouldn't kill kids) and Michael (takes his mask off to show his niece his face and even sheds a tear). In Freddy vs. Jason, the town wanted Freddy dead and gone so bad they had to team up with Jason.

Jason and Michael are very similar killing machines. Their appearances change from movie to movie, usually their size and mask. Neither talk and they sneak up on people without a sound. Their weapon of choice, Jason a machete and Michael a big kitchen knife but they will both use whatever they can find laying around. Did I mention that neither will die, no matter what their shot or struck with. Both are way better than that loud mouth Freddy. I would love to see a movie where they team up to face Freddy and Pinhead, that would be the bomb!

You gotta understand the top ten has the scariest people can see. Mikey was pretty awesome. Freddy is the bomb because instead of the whole silent thing, he makes jokes. Chucky is a comedy, he sucks. Creepers gave me a few good nightmares, the rest were okay, (can't include jigsaw. The traps are cool, not him.) Think though. Jason's been scaring for generations. Back then when killing and walking with a weapon was the scariest thing, he fit the bill. Now people have been able to make him do that and look cooler. He will always be number 1.

Michael Myers: Stabs people... Looks badass and is very strong... Movie was one of the best of all time... Kills in sleep, awake, or anywhere... Death result: Not so graphic. 7/10 for good villain-ness

Freddy Krueger: Practically anything he can think of can kill... Looks both threatening and comical... Movie was highly successful... Kills in victim's dreams... Death result: Anything, from off screen stabs to EXTREME GORE... 9/10 for good villain-ness.

Jason Voorhees: Stabs and slashes... Looks very threatening and strong... Movie was... Ok?... Kills anywhere in any way he can with his machete... Death result: Gory... 6/10 for good villain-ness...

Jigsaw: Like Freddy, kills in whatever way his expanded mind can create... Puppet looks and sounds like it could jump out of the screen and gouge your eyes out... Movie was good... Captures victims, and places them in a contraption that they can escape... Or can't... Death result: EXTREME GORE. 10/10 for good villain-ness.

RESULTS: Jigsaw is a winner!

With many other horror baddies (most of whom are on the list), the filmmakers tend to overemphasise how evil they are to add to the escapist element of those films and to make them very scary. Here however, it is very different. Leatherface (keeping in line with the film he came from) is an anomaly simply on the grounds that he feels more real than most villains due to how nasty both him and his family are. While other villains may have a compassionate or humanising side (like how Jigsaw is a dying cancer victim & Kayako is living in eternal sorrow over her death), Leatherface and his family have no redeeming quality whatsoever. They just want to kill you. This in turn makes them very menacing villains as there is no leeway to how low they'll go to kill or weaken their victims, mainly encapsulated in the scenes where one of the killers knocks a weapon out of their victim's hand with a broom while taunting her, where the characters try to get the grandpa to kill a victim with a hammer and the infamous dinner scene. Leatherface is a nasty piece of work, and is a reason why The Texas Chainsaw Massacre maybe a classic, but not one that is easily forgotten.

Ghostface is the scariest horror killers, now hear me out. Ghostface could be ANYONE , like literally could be ANYONE, your family, friends, relatives, ANYONE. And scream could LITERALLY HAPPEN irl. Like in the movies with exception that Stabs will be called Screams instead irl. While with characters like jason, michael, freddy etc, there is certain things that you can EASILY survive like for example, just don't go to camp crystal lake. What happen to people that never came there? Completely fine right? I think you know what I'm saying.

The first two films, I find genuinely scary. Like Freddy, Jason, and Michael, the massive popularity of Ghostface turned him into a something more commercial and less scary. But watching those first two films, they are still as effective and even if Ghostfsce is less scary on screen now, the idea of a guy in a ghost mask stalking and taunting you before popping out somewhere is still pretty damn scary in thought, even if the later movies had poor execution. The villain is very real and could literally be anyone.

The thought that goes into creating this character clearly outdoes that of any old slashe, this characters horror is purely psychological and brilliant beyond belief. The creepiness and unique brand brought by Hannibal Lector is unsurpassed not only by movie killers, but any movie character to date.

Hannibal is totally smooth and classy the way he kills or renders his victims helpless as he performs cerebral eatery with the victim awake and participating in eating his own brains. What can be more spectacular? Totally number one on my list.

Why isn't this guy at the top of the list? He's sadistic, blood-thirsty and highly intelligent all at the same time. he was the whole reason Clarice was able to track Buffalo Bill. He's the ultimate killer. And he's very good at toying with your mind and emotions.

Parents usually want to protect their children from seeing horror movies, but this is the one horror icon that even kids sometimes think that they shouldn't watch. It makes all talking dolls creepy as hell, and if you pretend to take out the batteries in front of your friend, and then activate the doll, they will flip out. It's so easy to prank people because it's an item you probably grew up with yourself, whereas other movie psychos are something you only see in movies.

He gave me nightmares as a child. Never liked dolls, but relatives gave me dolls as presents. I treated my dolls like royalty because of him.

But I've watched 4th & 5th movie as a teen and I realised how funny he is, yet a psychotic killer.

Chucky's scary as Hell! He's definitely #1 on the best horror killers ever since he pops out out of nowhere in every single ' little place! He came in my dreams and scared the hell out of me and still does!

Extremely the most scariest clown if you meant him in real life. I would crap my pants if I ever saw him or if he enters my house. The balloon part was the nastiest scene I have seen. Blood gushing every where. I am now scared of balloons.

I think they 1990 version is better then the 2017 version sense Tim Curry is funnier then Bill, Bill doesn't seem like a clown more like a killer in a clown costume Bill is scarier then Tim but Tim is a clown you just now but his humor.

Of all the horror icons I know about, he's probobly the scariest. The guy actually feeds on fear. Although the 1990 Pennywise isn't as scary by today's standards, the 2017 Pennywise is enough to keep anyone up at night. And not to mention his powers. He can teleport, shapeshift, and manipulate people just to name a few!

Are you kidding, #15? Out of all these killers, Norman, Jack Torrence, Leatherface, and maybe Hannibal or Buffalo Bill are the only ones who actually feel realistic. Now I haven't seen Texas Chainsaw, but out of the baddies from The Shining, Silence, and Psycho, Norman takes the cake. Something about that awful smile he has on when he's in the dress with the knife is just chilling beyond belief.

Do you like Huey Lewis and The News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost

People don't seem to get the difference between a movie monster and a killer... Norman Bates deserves number 1, but if anything he should be in the top 10 if only for the reason that Pennywise, Pinhead, and the Creeper shouldn't be on the list to begin with

I think here's Johnny is funny because when I was 13 I just watched that movie then I heard on the T.V. "here's Johnny! " I saw it was a T.V. host or something! It was really funny

The movie is really awesome and I think Jack needs to be a little higher than this.

Jack was just downright frightening in a weird way.

Dude, he feeds on people, has an underground cave that plays his own song, rips out peps eyeballs, stretches them out, eats their flesh, cannot die, is not predictable, has special weapons, can fly, and comes back every, what was it? 27 years to eat peps, no matter how much you've hurt him! :O sounds creepy to me, for all I know, he could be stalking us ALL!... Ah-

He never stops chasing you once he finds something he likes. He shows no mercy or humanity. He will torture you, eat you and smile while doing it. No one knows what he is or how to kill him. There's no running, there's no hiding. He should be number 1.

The creeper is a creature that just won't die and that's the thing that is different about a lot of people on the list. He is an immortal beast. If decapitated the creeper his head would grow back, like in "Jeepers Creepers 2".

Brilliant villain from one of my favourite films. The alien creature has an unique and very iconic design, but on top of that is an extremely hard force to fend off. Much of the tension in the original Alien comes from not knowing when he'll strike next, which leads to a lot of edge of your seat moments that few have replicated successfully since. Meanwhile, the Alien itself is very hard to kill. While many of the other villains are human and very vulnerable, this bad boy doesn't go down without a fight, as seen in the film Aliens where a marine squad were unable to take down a swarm of these without a significant loss of life and resource. Add to the fact that the mythos is very compelling, and you have a unique villain that many have tried to copy but none as successfully as the original.

Come on guys, a creature that can kill you in many different ways, turn you into one of them, or eat you in a predator sandwich. Oh yeah, and their basically unkilable, look absolutely BADASS and have a second mouth FOR A TONGUE!

Great villain. For me, only the original film has managed to convey the sense of menace it has. The sequels essentially made it cannon fodder, but in the original it was downright invincible. Wiping out Arnie's whole squad and then Arnie just barely defeating him gives the creature a sense of threat few others have. Meanwhile, the mythos surrounding the creature gives it a lot of character. Great all around.

Predator is awesome they only hunt people with guns but with bad blood they killed everything. Rips out the best warrior skull out, awesome weopns.

The predator is good for being silent but deadly, you'll never see him and he is one ugly mother...

An underrated villain, Tony Todd's performance is just perfect. His movie was a great romantic horror. A sick design, an interesting backstory along with creepy powers. Candyman deserves so much more recognition.

He appears when his name is said 5 times in a mirror. Then he guts you to death.

"We dare you say his name 5 times"!

What's scary about this poor girl is that she can kill you in MANY ways. Hitting you with a table, impaling you, stopping your heart, crushing you, etc. Her telekinesis is the thing that makes everyone fear her. Also have you seen her eyes during the prom scene in the 1976 version? And her sadistic smiles in the 2013 version? Creepy as hell.

The movie that proved telekinesis isn't the real threat. It's fanatics and high school cliques that are the true villains.

Come on Guys what's scarier then a girl covered in blood brutally killing you with telekinesis?

His movies may not be that great or that scary but the leprechaun can be scary to his victims. He usually only kills if you try to steal his gold or get in his way. Other than that you should be ok. He's magical, manipulative, devious and can kill people in the worst ways imaginable.

11? At least put him in the top 5! He kills in the most awful ways.

I know that this probably doesn't stand as tall as say Samara, or Jason. But I still think that this shark deserves some recognition. I mean he made people (including myself) afraid to go back into the water. You have to be scary to do that. He's the reason I love sharks. Also the movie Jaws is actually one of the good shark movies, you know which ones aren't. ( Sharknado) He also made the shark's name as "Man-eating". That takes skill. Great whites are famous because of him, and that's why I think he's so great!

I love sharks better than mammals but I love dogs okay back to the shark. The shark is awesome funny it killed the kid but the poor dog. His death is awesome by getting blown up.

In film Jaws be killer to biggist Shark. Name Shark white, he have big sharp teeth. Many meters water worst creature kill to people, weak blue collors body and big eyes. In film Jaws be Shark death and started Shark two, bigs of Shark one. To Be new horror films Jaws 2.

Very underrated and forgotten female horror movie killer. She's the queen.

The reveal of her being male is one of the most unexpected horror film twists in cinema history

You have to feel bad for him since 2 other idiot co workers went to the valentine party and left him and a few other co workers to die!

This movie was the best
