We have hammed and hawed through numerous subjects to make our next top 100 compilation, but somehow none of those discussed could exactly fit the bill. I went back to 2006 and rummaged through my mentor Flayed's threads and my old threads, and saw that we have left out one group of individuals who really, REALLY deserve to be recognised in their own Top 100.
Because folks, we are all lovers of horror. And for every horror movie to be a horror movie, he/she is an essential and integral part.
To make things a bit more clear - "It's time to give the Devil his due."
Yes, I am talking about all the fantastic villains who have graced the horror silver-screen from ages and generations. Right from the times of Lon Chaney Sr's Phantom and Graf Orlok, to the modern-day Jigsaw, the villains in horror movie history have evolved continously through the decades. Some really menacing, unstoppable, relentless, brutal, savage, merciless...think of every known evil adjective for them and you will immediately have a horror movie villain fitting that bill in your thoughts. Mainstream, cult, creature, monster, slasher, killer, psychopaths...all of them dominating the horror films with their larger-than-screen presence.
I ask for your help. It's been a long time since we made our last one so let's make this project the most memorable of the lot.
Put your thinking caps on, and your mind back to all the wonderful and awesome villains you have seen in horror movies in all the years you have watched them, and send me
your top 20 horror movie villains. You may rank them if you like, or you may send in an no-ranked list, either way your opinions will count in the final compilation.
PMs are welcome, but with the BR not done yet, I would prefer if you sent it to my email at
[email protected]. A simultaneous prodding post to this thread confirming the same would be of help.
Keeping the tradition of Top 100's intact, the deadline is spread right into the next month. You all have till the last week of July.
Let's do this. :)
