10 Truly Evil Horror Movie Villains Who Never Actually Killed Anyone

The Entity is a unique villain, in that it has neither shape nor form, existing instead in a sort of limbo where it can influence time and the world while inhabiting neither.

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's The Endless puts a unique spin on both the time travel and the cult horror subgenres by making their central antagonist a mysterious, god-like being that has dominion over the people of Camp Arcadia in backwoods San Diego -- a friendly commune or UFO death cult, depending on who you speak to.

Every individual in this remote community, and those in their immediate orbit, is beholden to the whims of the Entity, who has trapped them within an infinite time loop. Like a cat playing with a mouse, it gives them just enough rope to hang themselves with, allowing each to go to the point of their death before pulling them back to where they began, with rough memories and recollections of what came before.

A creative brand of evil, this is one instance in which it might be better if the villain did actually make with the killing.
