9. Michael Myers (Halloween)

Inspiring the likes of Jason Voorhees himself, the original masked murderer comes in the form of Michael Myers - a sadistic killer with a specialty taste for babysitters.

Functioning as a soulless husk of a human, devoid of personality, voice, or even defining features thanks to his plain mask and boiler suit, Myers represents murderous psychopathy in the most frightening way. No gimmicks can get in between him and his victim, and it's never an easy way out for those that meet the wrong end of his kitchen knife.

Depicted as insane from the age of six years old - when he killed his older sister on Halloween night - Michael Myers has come back many times to continue his reign of terror on Haddonfield, and on our screens as a result. The OG unstoppable force of horror.
