15 Greatest Ever Horror Movie Villains

15. Jason Voorhees (Friday The 13th)

The killer on Crystal Lake and most well-known hockey enthusiast of 1980, Jason Voorhees has been terrifying audiences for over 30 years, hacking and slashing his way into the nightmares of generations of audiences.

An icon in pop culture and a continued force of nature, rising from his grave at every available opportunity, the unstoppable Mr Voorhees wasn't even a villain originally, instead acting as a motive for his mother to wipe out ignorant campers in the wake of his first tragic death.

Taking a leaf out of his ma's book and picking up the machete, the legend of Jason has been firmly etched into history an impressive 12 movies later as one of the original slasher villains, and has served as inspiration for countless other films since.
