What characteristics define a villain? Killer? Check. Phsycho? Check. Scary looking? Check. Brother? That’s right, this is the factor that clarifies Michael Myers as a full blown villain. Going around killing random strangers is gruesome and sick enough, but terrorising whole generations of your family is so evil that there is not a word to describe the act. Replayed and remade many times, this villian has the ability to send a shiver down your spine everytime, regardless of how many times you have seen it.






As it is all about the magic, it is not impossible for evil blood to actually be running through the bones and veins of Lord Voldermort. As the series of books and films have gone on, the villain has become darker and more dangerous. Seen as Harry Potter is one of my most loved fictional characters, I hate ‘He who must not be named’ even more. His face is so ugly and the most frightening aspect of Harry Potter and as he killed off Dumbledore, there is no doubting that if he were real, there’d be quite a large hate campaign against him.


It goes without saying that if you can be killed in you sub-concious then the person (or thing) that manages to do the dirty deed is nasty to the core. With menacing blades for fingers and a face that looks like it lacks a few layers, Freddy Krueger is a must mention for the top ten villains. Having been a child murderer in his former life, he came back to haunt the streets of children in his afterlife following being burnt to death by angry parents.


There are times during this film when I actually feel sorry for Hannibal the Cannibal, which just goes to show how manipulative he can be. He ate people, lots of people, so he is totally evil. Horrifyingly visual without being gory, Hannibal is so thrilling that you can’t take your eyes off the screen even if you want to. The reality that villains like this actually exist make this character all the more scarier. I won’t go in to it too much though for the fear of being added to his menu!
