100 Movie Madmen

[ghouck]

I think this makes 60 according to the master list: Joan Crawford, a REAL madman (Madwoman?), only BEHIND the curtains. Of course, the character of her in "Mommie Dearest" makes her a MOVIE MADMAN. .

No.61 - The Night Rider - The opening lunatic from Mad Max, this maniac led the local law enforcers on a merry chase of madness, frequently screaming his name over his CB radio and not slowing down for anything (or anyone) that got in his way... until he completely lost it and was reduced to a whimpering little girl by "Mad' Max...

63. Soran, yet another Malcolm McDowell entry. .

[Allhallowsday]

OK, so he's not strictly a movie madman, but this guy seems seriously unhinged, and he always creeps me out.

I ask you, is that the haircut of a sane man?

He's quite the looker though. .

Perhaps, but is that an Afro Mullet...?  And all this time I thought it was just "ghouk..." 

64. CHRISTIAN BALE really is the AMERICAN PSYCHO: 

[Psycho Circus]

65. Arthur 'Buck' Taylor (Judd Nelson) from Relentless [1989]

[Rev. Powell]

66. Col. Kurtz, APOCALYPSE NOW



"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor."

[Doc Daneeka]

67. Hofmeister, from The Testament of Dr. Mabuse

For a change, here's a harmless, frightened madman, probably more genuinely insane than even the supposedly comatose main villain, who apparently put him in his state.

Hofmeister was a former good guy who went bad, until he decided to betray the baddies, who in turn scare him into insanity, deludedly replaying the events that made him insane in his mind. At one point, the police come to him trying to find who the master criminal of the film is, but find that seeing someone look in on him reduces the disgraced officer to nervous folk-songs...

68.) Master Sardu (Blood Sucking Freaks)

(pic borrowed from Andrew's classic review of the film...)

69. Pamela Voorhees. Her son, Jason might be better known from the sequels, but she was the original Friday the 13th killer. And while Jason's nature is more of a mystery, Pam is quite clearly nuts.

[Rev. Powell]

70.  Ezra Cobb, DERANGED



Serial-killer Ed Gein inspired characters in PSYCHO, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, but Roberts Blossom's performance in this low-budget shocker is the closest to the real-life story.

[Psycho Circus]

71. Terry Silver, (Karate Kid 3) a guy who enjoys crippling young boys and dumping toxic waste

[Rev. Powell]

72. Kit from BADLANDS

[Psycho Circus]

73. Doctor Ernest McNab (Dead Heat)



Brings corpses back to life to rob jewelrey stores, Nuff' said.
