You(Urgeok) are right about most villians in horror being stale, but that is the challenge.
I cant believe only one of you said Count Orlock(possibly the coolest character in the history of cinema characters)
When I came to this site, I was surprised at how many people all liked Creeper from Jeepers Creepers, I could never originally find anyone who did'nt think he was crap(I also think he looked crap), The concept of him was good, but he looked very out of place and silly and kind of ruined the film when you found out he was all reptillian, instead of the animal around the area he was in.

i'd rather see dr evil any day - it wasnt a joke .. he's been the most entertaining villian in films in ages.
horror villians - with the exception of Freddie (who wears thin really fast) are completely devoid of personality.
Michael Meyers, JAson ... silent stalkers... and they're favorites why ? because they kill people ?
i think Hannible Lector is a bloated cartoon character .. over ripe with a contrived character that i cant stand (with the exception of Cox in Manhunter)
The Creeper is mentioned a lot because he is the 1st origional creation to come along in a long time.
so i'd say this question devides people into two camps ..
the ones that like the villian because he/she kills people ...
and the ones that like a charasmatic villian.
the people in the second camp are forced to pick outside the horror genre.
