10 Awesome Horror Villains Trapped In TERRIBLE Movies

10. Chauncey - Imaginary

The recently released Imaginary is centered around Chauncey, a demonic entity which takes the guise of an imaginary friend to children in the form of a teddy bear, effectively allowing him to hide in plain sight.

It's a killer idea for a horror movie villain, and for all of the film's many creative deficiencies, Chauncey's demonic form - a grotesquely monstrous version of the bear - is one of the most memorably terrifying monster designs in recent horror cinema.

And because that's not enough, Chauncey's final form is arguably even scarier - a giant spider, because why the hell not?

It's just a shame, then, that Imaginary settles for being a snoozily generic horror flick that's doing little interesting narratively or visually, outside of Chauncey's strong design. 

The PG-13 rating doesn't help either, ensuring Chauncey can't even deliver a smattering of creatively gory kills.

On paper it's easy to see how Imaginary could've been a zeitgeist-y horror hit like last year's M3GAN, but the poor fundamentals ensured it had to settle for being a critical failure and modest box office success instead.
