10 Greatest Horror Movies Villains Of The 2020s So Far

1. Pearl - X

Terrifier 2 Art the Clown
Little Lamb

Whilst there have been plenty of outstanding one-off horror movie villains, the true greats are the ones you can build a franchise around.

Leatherface, Jigsaw, Ghostface; these are the names that audiences will come back for again and again, no matter how god-awful their later efforts turn out to be.

The top villain in our list doesn't just have franchise potential, she's already proven that she can helm an entire series all on her own.

X, the story of a group of adult filmmakers who run afoul of the wrong people, got everybody talking about Mia Goth and her dual starring roles.

Not only does she play Maxine, an aspiring pornographic actor, but she also gives the performance of a lifetime as the deranged old woman Pearl.

Driven by an envy of youth and raw sexual desire, Pearl mercilessly destroys the film crew in increasingly more bloody ways. Whilst it's fun to see her character develop in the prequel movie that bears her name, there's no denying just how brutally brilliant she is as the all-out villain of X.

Also, a female horror villain with more than one movie about her?

Yes please!
