10. Jigsaw and Billy (yes, that is the puppet’s name) from SAW

9. Pennywise from IT

8. Chucky from Child’s Play

7. Michael Myers from Halloween

6. The Freaks (yes, all of them) from Freaks

5. Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th

4. The Deadites from the Evil Dead

3. The Zombies from Night of the Living Dead

2. Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

1.  Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street

Do you agree with my choices, or did I leave your favorite horror movie villain off the list?  Leave a comment and let me know who you think the greatest scary movie villain really is.

That might not be bad if it wasn’t A Nightmare on Elm Street, but for such an epic movie series that was a huge part of my childhood, I am disappointed.  What is my biggest complaint?

Where is Robert England?! – I might sound like an irrational fan boy, but you can’t have Freddy Krueger without Robert England.  Want proof?  Just look at the side by side comparison:

New Freddy *thumbs down* Classic Freddy!

The new Freddy looks more like the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, than a scary movie villain.

No, the Scarecrow is Scarrier!

The only thing that would be more sacrilegious would be if you had an Evil Dead movie, without Bruce Campbell playing the role of Ash. 

Now, I could mention the fact that Michael Bay has something to do with this (what, is Freddy going to blow people up with multiple pointless explosions?) but I think I hit the nail on the head with my biggest complaint, thus far.

Thank you Hollywood for taking a childhood memory, and ruining it yet again.

What is your favorite scary movie?  Night of the Living Dead would be in the top ten, no wait – top five for me.  How about you?
