10 Best Horror Movie Villains Who Only Appeared Once

1. David - The Lost Boys

Nightbreed David Cronenberg Buttonface
Warner Bros.

Kiefer Sutherland’s star making role as David finds him leading a group of young vampires, who try to lure another member to their clan It’s easy to see why Sutherland was picked, since he’s got the movie star look the character needs, while being able to project David’s hateful rage when he needs too.

The monster make-up hasn’t aged terribly well, but Sutherland is able to project through it with that famous voice of his. David is cruel and seductive in equal measure, and it’s easy to see why his group would attractive to join. While he appears to be killed in the final scene the filmmakers kept their opinions open, since his body doesn’t disintegrate like the other vampires.

Talk of a sequel or prequel occasionally came up afterwards, but within a few years the odds of him being able to play an immortal teenager again were slim, so the idea was thankfully dropped.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
