Horror movies are only as good as their villains, as they’re the main reason the protagonists and the audience get so terrified. As a result, the genre has been the host to some very powerful antagonists on the silver screen, from the freaks in Freaks to the sinister evil lurking in current horror hit Smile.
15. Bruce the shark Named “Bruce” by the makers of Jaws, this great white shark painted the seas red with the blood of Amity Island’s citizens. During hisrampage, Bruce accomplished many feats of strength impossible even for a great white. It swam while pulling three floatation barrels underwater, yanked a pier out to sea, dragged Quint’s boat behind him, and busted through said boat, causing it to sink.
13. Michael Myers/The Shape After killing his sister at the age of six, Michael Myers spent 15 years in a psychiatric hospital, silently waiting for the day of his escape so he could return to Haddonfield and start killing again. Michael doesn’t seem to feel any pain whatsoever, and this has allowed him to survive almost any attack thrown at him. Some films have made the source of Michael’s superhuman powers unknown, while others have made them originate from supernatural sources.
11. The Entity “It doesn’t think. It doesn’t feel. It doesn’t give up.” This tagline for It Follows perfectly encapsulates the film’s shape-shifting antagonist. The entity of this movie slowly stalks and kills anyone who has been given its curse anywhere in the world. Jay finds herself being followed by this creature after receiving the curse from her boyfriend through a sexual encounter.
9. Jean Jacket Jordan Peele put a unique spin on the UFO subgenre with this colossal, angelic creature. Also known as “occulonimbus edoequus,” Jean Jacket is an enormous flying predator that marks Haywood Ranch as its territory, sucking up and devouring anything that looks at it with its tornado-like breath. It can also spit the inorganic matter it consumed onto those below it, which is dangerous given that a nickel it expelled shot through a character’s head, killing him.
7. Pinhead Once a human known as Elliot Spencer, Pinhead lost his faith in humanity after witnessing the horrors of World War I, eventually receiving the Lament Configuration and becoming one of the Cenobites. With his forbidden magic, Pinhead is able to torture his victims in gruesome fashions, typically with hooks and chains. He can even brainwash people to carry out his dark bidding for him.
5. The Thing This alien crash-landed in the Antarctic before being rediscovered thousands of years later. When the Thing comes across a compound full of researchers, a true cosmic horror is unleashed. This shape-shifting creature has the ability to assimilate any organism and take on any form based on its DNA, allowing it to transform into some large and grotesque creatures.
