A Slasher Theater Weekly Top 10: Horror Bad Guys

Well, it seems we couldn't break the tie of this weeks poll so I've decided to just choose one of the top voted choices and do Horror Bad Guys for this weeks Top 10

10.

 

Laid to Rest's ChromeSkull is a badass, high-tech slasher villain with some equally bad ass murder techniques 

9.

Harry Warden is a miner gone mad....and that's all I have to say about that

8.

 Keep in mind, this only applies to Child's Play Chucky and none of the sequels 

7.

Although technically Ghostface is more than one person, the idea of the killer in Wes Craven's Scream definitely deserves to make this list....and no, Ghostface Killah is not going to make the Top 10

6.

Candyman...Candyman...Candyman...Candyman....Candyman

5.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best slasher films of all time, so it's obvious that I'd include Leatherface 

4.

I could've easily just said Pinhead, however, I feel it's necessary to include all 4 of the Cenobites because Pinhead didn't become the main bad guy until the god awful sequels. 

3.

I don't even need to say anything here. Jason Voorhees.

2.

Halloween is, in my opinion, the first slasher horror film ever made (I don't count Psycho as the first true slasher), making Michael Myers the granddaddy of the genre and an influence on every slasher film ever made.

Well, if Jason and Mikey are already on the list then that can only mean that number one is...

1.

Freddy Krueger is the number one horror bad guy for many, many reasons. The first of which being that he's got brains. Jason and Michael Myers have the brute strength to get the job done, however, Freddy's got the smarts and wit to finish off his victims. A Nightmare on Elm street's killer is the man of your dreams...you've just gotta hope you never, ever meet him (your father will never approve) .



So, that's it for this week's Top 10. Check out the poll on the sidebar to vote for the next one !
