Greatest Movie Villains

[GoFride]

What movie villain did the best job of scaring the crap out of you? I nominate Anton Chigurh, the unstoppable hitman from the movie No Country For Old Men, for being so crazy he probably makes other psychopaths wake up screaming

Darth Vader def wins though...

Gary Oldman in Leon.

Darth Vader def wins though...

I was going to nominate the same.

Darth Vader is such a Villain, he fooled 3 episodes worth of people and aliens that he was the bad guy.

"The Joker" from "The Dark Knight." A complete psycho who wants to light the world on fire just to watch it burn.

I know there are a ton but the first one that pops into my head is from a recent movie. Corny I know but van dam in the expendables 2 was one of those characters you just needed to see get it.

Darth Vader was a great villain. But the Emperor was the real villain of SW. Darth was originally good, then evil, the good at the end. The Emp was always just cold and calculatingly evil.

However, neither of them we ever scary. Darth is a cool villain. He's the kind you'd like to hang out with.

The scariest to me is old school Freddy Krueger. Unless you were the plot device hero, there was no escape. At least you can run away from Jason and Michael Myers.

And while technically not a villain, the original Alien was one of the scariest movies for me growing up.

Vector in Despicable Me


Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones) in Conan the Barbarian


This is a great thread already

I suppose I can't find anything scary about an American cartoon villain. Now anime villains, you'll find some right down evil people there.

Title just says greatest villains, not scariest. If we're going scariest, I'd say Gary Oldman as Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula
