Top 10 Most Overrated Horror Movie Villains

The Top Ten
1 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).

This looks like a best horror movie villians list, unless this is some meta stuff, where the list is actully saying every horror movie villian is overrated

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. In October 2018, a sequel to the original Halloween was released, following 20 years after Michael Myers’s story.

Michael Myers is the most awesome, how is he No. 2?!

3 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.

Jason is awesome. He deserves his fans. It's understandable that he's afraid of water because he did drown as a child but that doesn't mean he's not badass. He doesn't need to speak or show his face to be badass either. He's immortal, super strong, can heal, and is very creative and versatile in his killings. He can also appear when and where his victims least expect him. That says enough.

He's my favorite! But he does have a lot of fans.

4 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.
5 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.

I think he is good but overrated

6 Ghostface

So lame, so overrated

7 Chucky Charles Lee Ray is a fictional character and the titular antagonist of the Child's Play horror film series.

This bastard is killing horror movies

Let's hope he doesn't star in toy story 4...

8 Jack Torrance John Daniel Edward "Jack" Torrance is the main antagonist of Stephen King's horror novel The Shining.
9 Pennywise the Dancing Clown (It) It (sometimes capitalized as IT), more commonly known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, is the titular main antagonist of the novel, its 2017 film adaptation and the 1990 TV adaptation. It was portrayed to be a shapeshifting and malevolent entity millions (possibly billions) of years old, and with no exact gender or solid identity; thus why it is called "IT". ...read more.

Seriously. Just watch Nostalgia Critic's review of It and you'll see why this guy isn't so scary.
