I've already proved that the scariest things about horror movie baddies are their weapons. But, what if the killer possesses no real weapons? Take werewolves, vampires, and zombies for example. Most of the time, these types of monsters don't use a weapon to do away with their prey. Nope. They use their hands, claws, teeth, anything to make sure their victim ends up dead. (Though, technically you could say that they also eat their victims afterwards. But that's beside the point.) So, what makes these guys scary? I think in these cases, it's the way they all look. I mean, sure the knowledge that the can actually do things to you with only their bare hands is also very frightening. But sometimes knowledge just isn't enough.
So, in the beginning, they had the Wolf Man, Dracula, and the original Night of the Living Dead. And all these characters were scary in their time. But as special effects grew more modern, people were no longer frightened by harry men, fanged pale guys, and people painted grey with black circles around their eyes. People were looking for more gruesome things to provoke their scared side. Naturally, Hollywood was happy to comply. They started making villains who were not only evil and scary, they were also gruesome and hideous.
Not only was Hollywood making their villains uglier, they were also giving them abilities above and beyond just mind control and immortality. Some villains could now bend time, warp reality, and bring your worst fears to wild, screaming life. The result was bigger, better, and badder killers.
Well, here is the first blog i'm posting on this site, and possibly my second ever blog...any way, i have a project to be under taken, that many people dare not do for fear of madness, alienation and death...i have the dream of not obeying this sites apparent benchmark of top 11 lists, as i feel they are past their prime and aging with most new people who come to this site posting count downs doing a top 11. i say why stop there? this is why im creating Epic Lists, a top 50 count down of a certain amount of things from any where...this may be in video form if i can be bothered editing and the like, but for those of you not afraid of reading, it will more than likely just be posted in my blog. so, if i get enough responses to this i will count down the top 50 villains of all time, from any where or anything. if its a film, i will download purchase it. if it is anime i will torrent also purchase it. manga i will out right steal borrow from people who have it. so, either post your listing as a response to this blog or as an email to

peace out home slice
