The queen xenomorph from Aliens.

They have xenomorphs at #4 but some of them need to be excluded from this list, like the dog xenomorph and the baby from Resurrection lmao.

She's the queen for a reason!

I love many of them.

I'm just here because I am loving all the horror movie posts.

I recently watched Psycho II for the for the first time after learning Anthony Perkins comes back...
It was nice that he came back but he was perfect in the first one. There didn't need to be a second one let alone a 3rd and 4th!

"Where shall I put it Miss Collins?"

"You can choke on it for all I care, just get it out of your mouth."

Literally one of my favorite lines in the movie lol But Margaret White deserves attention for her villainy as well!

I always think about Ms Collins and how she would have been fired, jailed and sued by today's parents.

Chris was def the original and most slappable mean girl.
