10 More Horror Movies That Had TWO Incredible Villains

9. Debbie Salt & Mickey Altieri - Scream 2

Everybody praises the original Scream's two killers to the high heavens, but let's show some love to the sequel's two Ghostfaces who were quite terrific in their own right.

We're talking of course about reporter Debbie Salt aka Nancy Loomis (Laurie Metcalf) and Mickey Altieri (Timothy Olyphant), who while not as iconic as the first film's Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), nevertheless operate in a laudably different wheelhouse.

First off, there's the fact that Nancy has been hidden in plain sight the entire time - whoever could've predicted that Roseanne's Jackie Harris would be the killer? 

But Laurie Metcalf's bug-eyed post-reveal performance is absolutely terrifying, and better yet, her motive is simple but effective - she wants good ol' fashioned revenge for her son Billy's death.

Similarly, Mickey doesn't have a convoluted reason for killing - he's just a crazy dude who planned to blame movie violence for his killing spree, and was effectively used as a pawn by Nancy.

If Billy and Stu set the chaotic bar high, Nancy and Mickey aren't too far off.
