I know it might seem like me just being a Freddy fan, especially as Krueger is number one. But I have to be entirely honest. I always found Friday the 13th kinda overrated. It's not till the films started becoming self parody's when Jason became a zombie that they started getting fun. The rest of them are just more 80's slashers with annoying characters that we just want to see Jason kill. But that's just me. I know people enjoy these films. The fact he's on the list at all is still a compliment. And honestly he was way more terrifying in that remake film..
9; CHUCKY;
Another case where I never really found him scary. Even in the first movie, only real scary thing is his sadistic pleasure of this.
But I do like him, so he's going on the list. Brad Douiff has the perfect voice, he doesn't always get the right credit..
8; JIGSAW;
He's pretty low on the list, as you could only watch these movies for so long, and the sequels started trying to hard to make him sympathetic.
But fans will never forget that famish ending in the original where John gets up and reveals he was there the whole time..
''Game Over''
7; PINHEAD;
I have to be honest and say I haven't seen these films, but I knew I had to put him here based on how well known he is. So had to use article post..
''Pinhead’s sole goal is to harvest human souls, and his demonic appearance doesn’t help at all in making him less scary. With spikes jetting out of every spot on his head, his high intelligence and the ability to mutilate people by summoning whips and chains, it’s hard not to feel fearful of Pinhead.''
6; THE PHANTOM;
Lets give credit to one of the earliest examples of the Slasher Film, predating even Halloween (1978). The film may not hold up very well, but there's the fact that the Phantom isn't superhuman or even a stranger. He was a member of the town that one day just decided to kill. And all this really did happen, unlike most of those ''based on true events'' films.. In real life, the Phantom was never apprehended. In the film, it is possible he dies, but also plausible he survives and escapes justice. Either way he was probably never found..
5; THE THING;
An alien who can flawlessly mimic any living being and seeks to assimilate other victims. It could be anywhere, taking the form of even your most trusted friend, just waiting for the right moment to infect you..
4; GHOSTFACE;
For something that's basically made as a parody, Wes Craven still managed to make a surprisingly terrifying antagonist. Going by just how ''human'' they are. And the fact the two had such petty motives, even Billy.. I don't know how good the sequels, haven't seen them. So going the original..
The beginning is a surprisingly terrifying scene, with very little in the way of comedy. And the parents honestly don't have it any better. That's your daughter. Some sick fuck had done that to your little girl.
3; NORMAN BATES;
I knew he had to go on here. He even has his own tv show, starring that weird dude from Good Doctor.
I haven't seen either the movie or the show, so it's not like I'm in anyway qualified to talk about it.. And there's nothing I say that hasn't been said by people far smarter than me..,
2; MICHAEL MYERS;
The original version, the ''proper version''. A man who kills 'because he can'.
What's truly scariest about Myers is the reality of it. Well, sort of, there's still implications Mike might have some kinda supernatural protection based on some of the impossible things to survive, or his brutality.. But the point being, Myers just normal guy who just suddenly decided to killing, he had no motive in the original, and most likely still has no in the 2018 film.. Laurie believes he's after her, but he really only arrives at her house by sheer coincidence and he most likely didn't even remember her till that exact moment..
I am really excited for the new one. Who else?
There is ''one'' implication to a motive.. Most of the 2018 film, Michael didn't even seem to be 'enjoying' the kills. Not remorse, but simply ''unsatisfied''.. Only when he killed babysitter Vicky did he seem in any way pleased.. So maybe he has a fetish for killing babysitters..

Of coarse it is, right. Anybody who knows me a long on fanpop would not be surprised.
But it's not for the same reason it would of been a few years ago, no I grew out of that.
No it's actually because Freddy is the scariest one to me. Especially the first movie, where Robert England only has like 10 actual lines, the rest of the time he's laughing. That terrifying to me. Mixed with the fact he runs on some kinda ''cartoon logic'' while in your dreams.
Tina's death and the school basement are the scariest parts to me. Not just Tina's famish death itself, but also the lead up to it. There's just something so ''off putting'' about it, I had a lot of dreams about being chased. So it rubs me the wrong way..
So for that, he remains my number one despite me growing out of my fanboy days.
And that's my list.. Please leave comments below.
