17 Movie Villains Who Completely Ruined Your Childhood
13. Oogie Boogie - The Nightmare Before Christmas
While most folks would argue that Jack Skellington is the villain of the film, theres no doubt that its actually the Pillsbury dough boys evil-twin, Oogie Boogie who earns that crown, and with a name like that, it was no surprise that he came with a face that would come to haunt your nightmares. His get-up consists of a burlap sack, used to mask the thousands of bugs roaming within. Two bottomless orifices take the place of his eyes, which were probably eaten by one of the snakes living inside of him. All in all, his physique is sufficiently horrific. The persona beneath the facade only serves to perpetuate his reputation as a fearmongering git. First of all, hes a power-hungry sadist, whos happy to torture and murder innocents to later consume in a stew. Secondly, when hes not busy feasting on flesh, hes a gambling misogynist. Oogie wont think twice about gawping at some unsuspecting gals exposed ankle while stiffing his fellow gamblers out of their earnings. What a treat. Lets put it this way. Hes like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, which your parents would never let you watch when you were a kid, only much worse.
