Just sent mine.

Just one question:

If the villian is a number of different films, played by different actors across decades - do we just mention the Villian or the Villian and actor or the Villian and film.


Would I list FU MANCHU (which could mean a number of actors)or FU MANCHU in The Mask of Fu Manchu (which would mean Karloff's interpretation).

Its just feels a bit weird putting down just DRACULA (for example).

I have sent a list via PM, pls confirm me whether you got it or not.

Yes I got it, Horror4ever. As well as WeaponX's list.

Thanks to the following too - Krylon, Toni (what is your ScreenName in here?), Bwind, MissM & especially TheWickerFan for the continuous inputs.

Very valid point, and something which I am thinking about long and hard at the moment.

If we take Dracula in general, it would be a wide variety of portrayals from Lugosi to Lee to Oldman - and all of them played a different Dracula in each of their representations.

If we take a particular representation of a common character - say 5 different actors for Dracula - the list might become too monotonous, like say 5 different Draculas, 3 Frankenstein's Monsters, 3 Wolfmen, etc...you get my drift.

I am thinking of one single common villain character for 2 reasons -

1 - If that particular villain character has more than 1 brilliant portrayal behind him/her, it would have it's own particular section with 4-5 different sub-sections. For example Dracula could have Lugosi's, Lee's, Oldman's...listed under it. This would give us ample space to highlight the character AND have plenty of room for blurbs et al for the different portrayals of the same character.

2 - Accumulating them under a single roof will leave a bit more room to pull in some other deserving and underrated villainous characters who otherwise would get ejected out. The list would have a bit more variety and look a bit more refreshing, plus it would be a good way to give a nod to those who usually get overlooked for their more popular and mainstream counterparts.


You can go ahead and send me either a general list, or a specific list of your choices. Either way, the particular villainous character will have it's own space in the 100 for sure - either big or small.


I am open to suggestions for this though. Feel free to put forth your opinions too.

Cheers thanks...

You mention Monster/Creature would it be better to keep this to humanoid type monsters like the cenobites/Nosferatu etc rather than include things like Cthulhu/Godzilla/Cujo..

Just a suggestion.

You're welcome:). This is the first time I got to participate in the voting process on one of these countdowns, and it was a lot of fun. I hope there will be more in the future.

Lists: they're-like-my thing.:cool:

Cthulhu - don't think we have had a kickass brilliant adaptation of it in the movies yet.

Godzilla - strong contender.

Cujo - Haven't seen it in any of the 12 lists submitted.


The only giant monster staking a claim here would be Godzilla. The rest would be humanoid monsters/creatures like the Gill-Man, Wolf Man, Alien, etc.

Villains are more driven by performances. People will submit those whose evilness filled their screens and their minds, rather than suits or CGI without expressions. We are pretty safe there.

Thats what I was thinking....

The HPLS Call of Cthulhu was pretty brillent,imo...

True, but not great enough to better any actor's evil portrayal of a memorable villain.

Ditto. It'd better if we can avoid the creatures in this listing process, IMO.
