With Halloween just around the corner we thought we would get into the spirit. Well, come up with the worst villains in horror movie history at least.
If horror movies have taught us anything, it is that we are all sick bastards. Sorry, we mean it tells that all like to be scared out of our wits. That’s it. We take absolutely no sick pleasure from teenagers being eaten alive, cut to pieces or burnt alive – it’s all about the thrill of being frightened.
But, of course, the best horror villains don’t tend to be the ones we are afraid of. They are the ones we actually quite like. Unstoppable serial killers, frazzled up kiddie-fiddlers and maniacal dolls are just some of the anti-heroes idolised by horror fans the world over. We just can’t get enough of them, it seems.
Now if you wanted to really get scared, we suggest you make movies about global warming, nuclear holocaust or John McCain.
Anyway, enjoy.
