20 Awesome Horror Villains Introduced In TERRIBLE Movies
6. The Jester - The Jester
You couldn't be blamed for taking one look at The Jester and assuming it to be a craven Terrifier knock-off, this murderous orange-suited trickster basically attempting to cash-in on the same fusion of gonzo violence and campy, over-the-top performance.
Though Jester actor Michael Sheffield certainly gets an A for effort with his mute, physical work behind the mask, the original film is a painfully cheap, generic horror flick that invests far too much time in a tedious daddy-daughter storyline and not nearly enough in showcasing its creepy title character.
Thankfully the recently released The Jester II remedied this somewhat with its beefed-up budget, which allowed a far greater focus on The Jester's over-the-top methods of murder, confirming him to be a sick agent of chaos.
His mask also received quite the upgrade this time around, which combined with a surprisingly worthwhile dive into his backstory actually suggested that The Jester could be a new horror villain to go the distance.
