Favorite Slasher Film Villain?

So, I've been going through and been watching the old Friday the 13th films lately. I had never seen any past Part III so I figured since I'm on Spring Break and was bored that I might as well.

I'm a horror/slasher film buff so I've seen most of the big names (old and new). I'm just wondering what others like myself would say about who holds the title of best slasher villain.

Vote and please give a reason why...

Your Options are as follows:

1. Jason Voorhees: Famous hockey mask sporting, machete wielding killer from the Friday the 13th series...gives a whole new meaning to "retard strength".

2. Freddy Krueger: Sadist, pedophile, child molester, and serial killer - Krueger is a twisted character to begin with. Give him the power to be undead and stalk/kill his victims in their dreams...and you got one nasty fedora wearing, metal-clawed burn victim.

3. Ghost Face: Aka the Woodsboro Killer from the Scream series, it may be unfair to match this ever identity changing villain with the other boys here but honestly this character became as much a staple in the '90s as Jason or Krueger did in the '80s.

4. Mike Myers: Much like Jason, Mike has a similar M.O. - only...in some ways Myers seems 1,000x more evil and sadistic.

5. Jigsaw: The new villain of the 21st century! Technically, he gives people a choice whether to live or die and doesn't cause harm himself. However, we've all fallen in love with his sick and sadistic traps that only seem to get more intense, more bloody, and more complex with each film.

6. Leatherface: If there's any reason to NOT go wandering out in the sticks of Texas this boy and his entire family of ultra-satanist cannibals is exactly that.

7. Chucky: Ever think Cabbage Patch dolls were creepy? Well, so did the guy who came up with Child's Play and the film finally gave you a good reason to be. What's worse than a 2 foot tall toy doll possessed by a serial killer? One that can't exactly die either...

Anyways...make your choice...I have yet to make mine...too tired...I'll pick tomorrow some time.

I'm going to have to go with Jason. Something about that unstoppable juggernaut of death just warms my heart y'know .

Who is Mike Myers?



Mike Myers when he is a kid. And before he breaks free. After he gets the mask. Michael Myers ceases to exist. He is now The Shape.

Regardless, I voted for him. Despite the terrible mistake in the poll.

Mike Myers all the way. Sadistically evil and emotionally devoid (in the original Halloween when he's in the asylum and virtually doesnt say a word for 15 years or something of the sort) Simply living to kill, he's so crazy he walks towards you in that stiff body sort of way, taking bullets and clothes hangars to the face, without flinching. Armed with a meager steak knife, he's one crazy mofo.

Jason has to run, the pussy.

@Vizi
Oh quiet you...no one refers to Myers as "The Shape"...

BTW I finally made my choice and I'm going with Leatherface - I'm surprised no one picked him, out of all of them I think he's the most frightening and truly disturbing.

yes i would chose leatherface to ,he's based on Ed Gein the butcher of plainfield and that was one twisted dude

Michael Myers is the original slasher dude the others sucks he also sucks but less than the rest.

Yeah...except for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre which came out 4 years prior to Halloween and inspired Carpenter to film it...

Do Psycho and The Shining count?

Hmmm...I'm gonna say no. The poll was created with the intention of voting on TWC members' favorite slasher series villain. While Psycho and The Shining are both brilliant films this was more aimed at B-grade horror flicks that have 4+ movies in their libraries.

Man, did I get paranoid and nightmares after seeing the some of Halloween films.
I was tainted for life, almost.

That's why I don't watch that genre. My mind seems fragile to it.

What did you guys like more, original Halloween or the remake by Rob Zombie?

While I give mega-hard props to the original, I actually liked the remake alot. Mostly for the brutality of the death scenes.

Not the best in the movie by far, but it left a scary effect on me. Something about being beaten to death by a large branch while pleading for mercy is so much more scary than getting stabbed and dying seconds later.


Someone commented on one of the vids I was watching while I looked for this scene that pretty much summed up the movie for me.

good
they gave michael feelings
he kicks ass

bad
hollywoodized (too much sex and over the top language)
laurie sucks

I actually REALLY liked the remake of Halloween, like...REALLY liked it.

Seems that most people would disagree but I truly think Rob Zombie is a mastermind when it comes to anything horror-related. Whether that be animation, music, or movies. He takes all the best things about the genre, turns them on their heads, and makes them 100x more terrifying and violating.
