10 Awesome Horror Movie Villains With One Stupid Weakness

The Tall Man is one of those villains who you can't really ever truly put down permanently, instead being a rogue who you can banish for a little while before he eventually raises his head once again. Even in the last Phantasm movie - 2016's Phantasm: Ravager - despite the Tall Man being blown to pieces during the final act, a mid-credits sequence indicates that this ominous figure is still lurking in the shadows, ready to make his next sinister move.

That said, when it comes to sending the Tall Man packing for a spell, all you need is a low temperature.

One of the strangest weaknesses in horror - hence why it's included here, obviously - is that the Tall Man doesn't like the cold. So, if you want to get away from the Tall Man, just make sure to stay somewhere a bit chilly, stand near an open fridge, or keep plenty of ice close by.

Of course, despite this daft weakness, the Tall Man is forever a terrifying figure thanks to the disturbingly calm demeanour of the dearly missed Angus Scrimm.
