10 Horror Movie Killers We All Reluctantly Loved

9. Pinhead

Freddy Krueger
New World Pictures

No one saw this coming, because the leader of the mutilated, black leather wearing Cenobites is hardly someone you'd expect to love easily.

Well, some of us can't but there is no denying that there is something about Pinhead that draws people towards him, mainly because he's one of the most striking-looking horror movie villains of all time. And even if he is a 'demon', at least he had a seemingly decent life before - he was a soldier after all.

The difference between Pinhead and the rest of the entries on this list however, is that even the director is aware of how strange it is that people love him. Clive Barker has stated in interviews that women actually used to send him letters asking if they could have Pinhead's kids.
