As the main big bad in True Detective, Errol Childress is one of those villains who will completely disturb you on a supremely elevated level. He has all of the hallmarks that a human personification of a nightmare should have. He has a deeply Deliverance-esqe southern accent, he is one hundred percent pro-incest, his face looks like ground hamburger meat and he happens to rape and murder people all the time. Separately, each of those qualities would make you quickly cross to the other side of the street, but mix them into one bowl of awful and you should probably just cross over to the other side of the moon. What really makes this character such a walking dry heave is the performance by Glenn Fleshler (kind of an appropriate surname, huh?). Fleshler brings Errol Childress to life in the most horrifying way. His sickly sweet facial expressions and slithering Louisiana drawl could make your blood chill all on their own. When you add in the constant air of deep rooted evil Childress possesses, it truly becomes a testament to Fleshler's phenomenal ability to become the monster.
