Realistically, this movie doesn’t. The horror genre is filled with iconic villains that have been terrifying audiences for decades. Whether it’s Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, or Freddy. Best Movie Animals of 2. Every year there are tons of animation films that spotlight our furry friends. This year we got Zootopia, The Secret Life of Pets and Sing (if you can even tell the last two apart), not to mention Finding Dory and the motion- captured animals of The Jungle Book, voiced by a legion of A- listers, from Scarlett Johansson to Christopher Walken and Lupita Nyong’o. But we don’t really appreciate live animals in movies enough despite their ability to consistently surprise us with their acting talents. In the outlandish and extremely reckless 1. Roar, which left 7. Noel Marshall—who also starred alongside his real family members Tippi Hedren and Melanie Griffith—gave co- writing and directing credits to the 1. In 2. 01. 6, none of the animals on this list have even been name- checked in the top bill (even though some definitely deserve it). So we decided it’s time to give these animals their due. If the Academy won’t recognize them, we certainly will. Here are the most iconic (live) animals in film this year. Deadliest Horror Movie Villains, Ranked By Body Count. The horror genre is filled with iconic villains that have been terrifying audiences for decades. Whether it’s Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, or Freddy Krueger, the genre is absolutely teeming with characters who have all- out invaded the pop culture zeitgeist, inspiring countless sequels, prequels, reboots, and remakes. But who’s the deadliest of the deadly? It’s hard to say for sure, since there’s only one crossover film to feature two of the icons actually squaring off (2. Freddy vs. Jason, which essentially ended in a tie), so logic dictates the only way to rank them is based on what they do best: killing. For this list we excluded non- humanoid villains (so the Blob and the Thing didn’t make the cut), focused on villains who work alone (which eliminated Jigsaw, Ghostface, and the Cenobites), and did not include kills that occurred in television series, or those perpetrated by copycat killers. Remakes that closely followed the plot of the original (like 1. Psycho and 2. 01. Carrie) were not factored into the totals. Warning: Spoilers Ahead. That being said, here are the 1. Deadliest Horror Villains In Film, Ranked By Body Count. Norman Bates (Psycho) – 1. Still heralded as one of the greatest films ever made more than fifty years after its original release, Psycho boasts the shocking death of one of its stars in the first act, an equally shocking twist at the end, and is held together by a beautifully subtle performance by Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates. Bates is the mild- mannered proprietor of the Bates Motel who spends a good amount of time caring for his elderly mother. Throughout the film, audiences are led to believe Bates’ mother is the main villain only to find out that Bates himself is the killer, committing the crimes while dressed in his mother’s clothes. Compared to some of the other killers on this list, Bates is relatively tame, opting to use a kitchen knife in most of his killings. Still, seventeen kills over the course of just four films is enough for him to crack the top fifteen. Ben Willis (I Know What You Did Last Summer) – 2. Ben Willis is often excluded from conversations regarding the greatest horror villains, and with good reason. Movie monsters have been through an evolution as wild and nuanced as Charles Darwin’s. Back in the days of silent film, they were created with paint and fish gills. The same handful of photos are often used to exemplify generational conditions. These underrated iconic photos create a fuller picture. I Know What You Did Last Summersimply isn’t a good series of films. The first is underwhelming and centers around Willis seeking revenge on four teenagers who accidentally hit him with their car and try to cover up the crime by dumping his body in a river. Needless to say, Willis survives and hatches a ridiculously convoluted plot for revenge that includes waiting around for a year, sending the teens some notes, and cutting their hair while they sleep. Oh yeah, he also tries to kill them with a hook. Willis is foiled after killing only two of the teens (and a bunch of innocent bystanders) and so he returns in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer to finish the job. This time, Willis literally sends one of the surviving teens from the first film on an all- inclusive vacation to the Bahamas (via his son posing as a radio DJ) so he too can travel to the island and kill her off. And let’s not even get into the dreadful I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. Willis may not be a master strategist, but he is adept with a hook, and that’s enough to earn him a place on the list. The Creeper (Jeepers Creepers) – 2. The aptly named Creeper is, well, creepy. The amalgamation of a man, some sort of demon, and a bat, the Creeper is the true star of the Jeepers Creepers franchise and has the oddest backstory of any villain on the list by far. According to the film, every twenty- third spring for twenty- three days the Creeper gets to eat. There is no explanation as to why the Creeper wakes every twenty- three years or why it only has twenty- three days to eat, but who cares? The thing has wings and can literally smell fear, using the scent of its victims to choose which ones it wants to eat. Although one character remarks that the Creeper has killed hundreds of times, we’re only counting the estimated 2. Using an ax, a knife, and throwing stars made from the discarded teeth of his former victims (not to mention his freaking wing, which he uses to decapitate one particularly unfortunate jock), the Creeper mows down a bunch of teenagers, cops, and prisoners on his way to accumulating the 1. Carrie White (Carrie) – 2. In the 1. 97. 6 film, Carrie White is just a quiet girl trying to survive the most excruciating four years known to man: high school. The victim of constant bullying throughout most of the film, Carrie finally starts to make friends toward the third act before a cruel prank finally pushes her over the edge. At her prom, having won a rigged vote to name her queen, Carrie is dowsed in pig’s blood from a bucket hanging above the stage. Carrie hallucinates that everyone in the gymnasium is laughing at her (when they are not) and uses her telekinesis (which she had been honing throughout the film) to unleash chaos. Some students are crushed and others electrocuted before Carrie sets fire to the gym and makes her way outside, locking the doors behind her and leaving mostly everyone inside to burn. Once outside, Carrie kills two more bullies by flipping their car and causing it to explode. She then returns home where she kills her mother and then herself when her telekinesis causes her house to crumble on top of her. Sure Carrie is more of a victim than a villain, but her kill total more than warrants a place on this list. Candyman (Candyman) – 2. Very few entries on this list have a sadder backstory than the Candyman. The son of a slave, Daniel Robitaille was an artist who grew up at the end of the 1. After falling in love and fathering a son with a white woman, Robitaille was put to death by a racist mob. They cut off his painting hand and replaced it with a hook, then smeared him with honey (earning him his nickname), and left him to be stung to death by bees before burning his corpse in a pyre. That’s enough to make anyone angry. Robitaille would return from the grave under the moniker Candyman and seek his revenge on everyone brave (or rather, dumb) enough to stand in front of a mirror and call his name five times, appearing instantly and killing them with his hook. In the end, it turns out the Candyman is just trying to reunite with the reincarnation of his former lover, which makes him less a villain and more a hopeless romantic. He still makes the list though. Jack Frost (Jack Frost) – 2. Released in 1. 99. Jack Frost is without a doubt the silliest entry in our list. The title character is a serial killer whose prison van collides with a truck carrying acid that melts his skin and skeleton, causing him to fuse with the snow. Using an array of weapons including an ax, icicles, Christmas ornaments, and even his carrot nose, Jack goes on a killing spree before he is finally melted in antifreeze. Jack would return, however, in the aptly titled Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman. This time, Jack follows the sheriff from the first film to the tropics, where he is able to spit up little snowballs that hatch into little killer snowmen (yes, you read that right), and is ultimately killed after being shot with a banana attached to an arrow that causes him to explode (you read that right also). The hatchlings’ kills were not added to Jack Frost’s, leaving him at 2. Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs) – 2. Now we go from one of the silliest villains in the history of horror to one of the most feared. Hannibal Lecter is a brilliant psychiatrist with extensive knowledge of the human anatomy and a taste for flesh. To make matters worse, he is also a complete psychopath who does not exhibit any of the criteria usually associated with psychopathy, thus making him a truly terrifying killer. Starting with The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal finds increasingly terrifying ways of murdering his victims. The worst of the worst include decapitation via a rope attached to the back of a horse, a lobotomy performed on a live victim (during which the victim eats a piece of his own brain), and a particularly gruesome scene in which Lecter guts a man before throwing him from a balcony with a chord wrapped around his neck. When the victim is hanged, his insides spill out onto the sidewalk below. Leatherface (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) – 3. The only entry on our list to regularly use a gas- fueled weapon (how wasteful!), Leatherface is also one of the oldest, first appearing in 1. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and paving the way for slasher villains to follow. Loosely based on real life serial killer Ed Gein, Leatherface wears a mask made of human skin and his weapon of choice is a chain saw, though he has been known to impale a few of his victims on meat hooks on occasion. Unlike many villains on the list who simply kill their victims and move on, Leatherface puts each of his victims to good use once they’re dead. In addition to using their skin to make masks, he also uses their bones to make furniture for his family’s home. Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) – 4. When it comes to weapon of choice, no villain can hold a candle to Freddy Krueger whose bladed glove is responsible for an estimated 4. A Nightmare on Elm Street films. Originally a child killer who was arrested and released on a technicality, Freddie was burned alive by the parents of his victims. He eventually returned as a spirit capable of stalking his victims in their dreams, thus allowing for some of the most creative deaths in the history of horror. Some of Freddy’s more infamous kills include pulling out one victim’s veins and marching him around like a puppet on strings, giving another victim a hearing aid before scratching a chalkboard and causing the victim’s head to explode, sucking Johnny Depp into a bed and turning him into a geyser of blood, and, of course, placing a victim in a video game, controlling him with a Power Glove, and forcing him to trip down a flight of stairs and into a chasm.
