4. Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel) - Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon (2006)
Leslie Vernon may be as flamboyant as Freddy Krueger, with cruel remarks to go with his violent actions, but hes more honest about a horror villains need for recognition, and consequently invites a film crew to follow him around as he stalks his victims. This proves to be a bad idea. While Leslie is charming and every bit the gracious host, hes also unstable and being hunted by an equally deranged psychiatrist whose actions cause an inordinate amount of collateral damage. Being caught between the two might make for great television, but dont count on returning for the sequel. Still, hes a better subject than the Blair Witch, and more entertaining to watch than Paranormal Activity, so if he was to return to the well for another one, who could blame him?
