Scaryest Bad Guy.....

[Acidburn]

I was sitting around with some friends talking about movies and the topic came up of whuch bad guy was the most disturbing to us.  Several were mentioned but the one that  always got to me the most was 'Pinhead'  and I do not even know why.  To this day watching a Hellraser  movie sends a slight chill down my spine.  
So....what bad guy (or monster) creeps you out?

i would say freddy from nightmare on elm street. i mean not really him but the concept were he gets while your most helpless while you sleep always creeped me out.

I would say Hitler is the most awful bad guy ever, with his Nazis. I was reading an interview with a Comic Book writer and he said Nazis are the perfect villains because they are timeless and nobody likes them. He said, nobody ever sends letters about heroes killing/whupping Nazis, but always about any other villain.

In the movies though I would have to go with Mike Myers or the Exorcist Demon. THey are both the most twisted character I have ever seen and just not a good bone in their body. They are worse than any other because they are evil for the sake of being evil.

Also ranking up there is Mugatu from Zoolander.... ONE LOOK!!!

The Cenobites from Hellraiser (the first two films, before the series went down the crapper) were about as scary as it gets.  Partly because of their general pastiness and their penchant for self-flagellation, but also because they were not the antagonists; they didn't become "bad guys" until the third film.  There was always a human antagonist - Frank in the original, Dr. Channard in the sequel - and the Cenobites were simply an interested third party.  In fact, they were out to destroy or recapture both films' antagonists.  When they became the principal villains, they lost some of their creepy appeal, although the sisters and the half-chatterer from Inferno were quite disturbing.

The little girl from The Ring is the scariest baddie I have seen in ages... she made me nervous walking past the TV for a while.
Another thing that really scared me was the finger from Steven King's short story The Moving Finger, although Im not sure why.

Do you own the dvd? If not rent it. If this movie scares you, this will make you wet your pants:
When the main menu comes up, hit your UP arrow and the cursor will dissapear. Press ENTER on the remote. Turn off the lights and watch.

Only do this if you dare, once you start it..you won't be able to stop it.
I've never done it, but i've heard about it...

muahaha..lol

I've thought of the aliens themselves scary in the first two movies, but then the third and forth one made them look less scary. John Carpenter's The Thing is kinda creepy (My friend's head exploded and out comes these ugly tentacles.Then there's Kyriama from the Battle Royale (Magna only) The idea of a student you worked with can turn on you and graphically break your arms only using a book about the martial arts is creepy. I have no idea but Jack Frost creeps me out. But the scariest thing for me is...that's actually very hard. Because sometimes you can make a scary monster but ruin it with crap. Actually the whole Battle Royale or Series 7 or Lord of the Flies for that matter are the creepiest. Because they are actually normal people but they are forced to kill each other. This scars their conscience until they kill again and again.

Holy s**t, you've got me scared now. I want to see what happens now and the idea of not being able to stop something that scares you unless you get up and shut the t.v. off scares me. ( haven't seen Ring but I want to see Ringu first) And no I'm not a super heavy remote control guy. I just think I'll be too frozen to get up and leave the room or close my eyes thus the horror will last as long as it needs to.

One of mine is the crook with glasses from Robocop. He's not scary looking (though he has a intimating evil look) it's what he does that's scary. *spoiler* You know the part where Murphy is about to be killed by his gang that scene always makes my hair stand up and the truth is their are people like him out there.

Others are....

The Doll from the Trillogy of Terror
The Rats from Trilogy of Terror II (I'm not clostrphoic but the idea of being ripped to shreds unground by rats with no way out scares me)
A lot of werewolfs (Edd from The Howling, Dog Soliders)
The Face Hugger kept me scared for about a week.
Insane/Mutant/Rabid Dogs/wolves. (I love dogs but I always get nervous when I see a stray in the street.
The Alien Queen.
A few people from Battle Royale (book,movie, and comic book)

Ill give it a go.... sometime when there are lots of other people with me.  Although it will probaly result in me having to avoid the TV again for a few weeks...*L*

I don't generally get actually scared by movies, but if one leaves me feeling really creeped out, I consider it a successful horror movie. That said, the 1956 version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" got to me since it was the people you thought you knew coming after you. The 1963 "Lord of the Flies" creeped me out for much the same reason. For a single scary bad guy, I'd have to agree with Freddy Krueger (at least from the original "Nightmare on Elm Street" -- once he became a franchise, he was just silly). Another movie bad guy (or girl in this case) that genuinely upset me was the little girl in the 1956 version of "The Bad Seed." That kid was so creepy she makes Barbra Streisand seem cuddly by comparison (sorry--Babs creeps me out, too).

The bad guy that I believe is pretty scary or evil in theory is the Jeepers Creepers guy. Not saying the movie was anything spectacular but the idea behind him and the way he looks just makes me think it's not really someone I would want to meet anywhere.

A wise choice daveblackey15-san!

Joe Pesci in Casino - when he stabbed that guy with the pen, that was pretty disturbing..  
or the gremlins, well when I watched it when I was 5 they freaked me out!
The zombies in Braindead/Dead Alive - whatever you know it as, especially the baby zombie
The person in the bag in Audition.. or whatever the hell it was, I've kinda blanked it out of my memory, have to see it again.
Vincent Price in Theatre of Blood, although not quite in an obvious terrifying way, but he was definetly disturbing, and had pretty sick ways of killing people off.
Bill Paxton in Frailty, he was pretty damned sick in that.
