10 Awesome Horror Movie Villains You’ve Never Heard Of

Edward Carver from The Poughkeepsie Tapes is among the few horror villains who can be classified as "too disturbing". Not only does this depraved lunatic kidnap, enslave, rape, mutilate, and slaughter anyone who tickles his fancy, he records these encounters, so he can watch his captees suffer again and again.

When the FBI raid Carver's home, they are horrified to find 800 video tapes, each filled with him performing the most unspeakable acts to his victims. The first of these tapes displays Carver abducting and killing an eight-year-old girl.

The most unnerving part is when the documentary shows how Carver utterly destroyed one of his prisoners, Cheryl Dempsey, physically and mentally. When she's rescued by the police, it's clear she's psychologically broken, since she believes Carver is her lover. After seeing how irreversibly damaged she's become, it's not surprising when it's unveiled Cheryl took her life two weeks after the interview.

In the movie's final moments, we learn that Carver stole Cheryl's remains, just to remind us one last time that his evil knows no bounds.
