20 Greatest Ever Horror Movie Villains

18. Dr Heiter (Dieter Laser) - The Human Centipede (2009)

A gifted surgeon, Dr Heiter€™s specialty is separating conjoined twins, but since his retirement, he€™s concentrated mainly on his favourite hobby: joining creatures together. In order to give himself a €œpet€, Heiter kidnaps three tourists and connects them, mouth to anus, so that they share a single digestive system. The pet must then be housebroken, so Heiter teaches the trio to move as one in his garden, beating them when they fail or when their cries keep him awake at night. Because you€™re not required to show modesty around pets, he even disrobes in front of them before taking a swim in his birthday suit. It€™s this level of apathy, coupled with his determination to break the human spirit, that makes Heiter such a force to be reckoned with, and deserving of a place on this list.
