10 Best Horror Movies With More Than One Villain

2. Scream

The first Scream takes the cake when it comes to dropping the bombshell of there being two killers.

Scream follows Cindy, a teenage girl who must fight for her life when her small town is plagued by a series of gruesome murders.

Throughout all of Scream, director Wes Craven is constantly trying to keep the viewer on their toes by using every misdirecting method in the whodunit book. Even if you manage to guess one of the killers, you probably won't be able to guess the other.

What works best about the film though is just how downright chilling Billy and Stu are. While Billy says he's out for revenge, at the end of the day, these two guys were just looking for any excuse to kill. The two of them are psychopaths, only made more terrifying by how genuine they feel as people. Plus, the performances by Skeet Ulrich and Mathew Lillard are just to die for.

These are guys you could have gone to high school with, and not for a second thought anything of. If that's not scary, I don't know what is.
