I'll always defend Freddy as the greatest villain of all time because you can't run from him, you're gonna have to sleep sometime.

Jason Voorhees has been a personal favorite, since Friday the 13th was the first horror movie I saw when I was six and bb Jason gave me my first nightmares 🥰

Full offence, Carrie is the hero of Carrie. The villains got their comeuppance.

Ginger from Ginger Snaps

Jennifer from Jennifer's Body

That creepy doll Brahms or whatever

the Brahms villain won't be the same ever again after the tiktok algorithm decided to spam the fan edit thirst videos of him

Freddy Krueger?? IDK I feel like there's so many who I'd put at #1 before him.

Speaking of horror movies, I finally watched Sleepy Hollow, and while it was visually appealing, good GOD was the acting bad. Debt was fucking terrible. He actively brought down every scene he was in. And even though I like her a lot, Ricci was pretty bad too. Although I think she'd said the role was one-dimensional so I guess she was working with what little she had.

El Chivo Lubezki's cinematography was doing the heavy lifting fr but i did enjoyed how over the top some of the performances are (not debt tho)specially Miranda Richardson giving telenovela levels of acting
