12 Scariest Horror Movie Villains

Michael Myers, much in the same way as Jason Voorhees and Leatherface, is another classic slasher villain, frightening for his inevitable, uncompromising determination to kill, and the insatiable hunger he has to do so. All three of them are deserving of mention, and all their have their unique abilities and characteristics - but it's Michael that comes out on top for the ultimate in nerve-jangling terror.

Stalking his victims with a menacing walk that reads like he's locked onto a target, Myers's emotionless mask and undefinable features serve to create something so intense it easily takes you off guard. Not to mention that his sheer influence over the genre as a whole has created a subbranch in the process: he was the first, and he sure won't be the last.
