Top favorite female characters

My favorite female characters in Horror.
People who added this item 423  Average listal rating (256 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 6.6 
1. Ju-on: The Grudge (2002)
Kayoko Saeki



In my opinion, one of the scariest characters of all time. The sounds, the movement and the look. Everything about her is terrifying.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 257  Average listal rating (144 ratings) 7.8  IMDB Rating 7.8 
2. The Innocents (1961)
Miss Giddens



A really likable character with caring and motherly instincts that's put to the test. Deborah Kerr did an amazing job portraying the character.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 110  Average listal rating (63 ratings) 6.1  IMDB Rating 5.6 
3. The Lair of the White Worm (1988)
Lady Sylvia Marsh



Seductive, vicious and actually pretty funny, Lady Sylvia Marsh is one memorable villain.

People who added this item 210  Average listal rating (110 ratings) 8.4  IMDB Rating 7.9 
4. Kwaidan (1964)
Yuki Onna



A very unique character, since she's neither a villain, nor a heroic character. She feels just like a force of nature. She's ruthless, yet sympathetic.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 222  Average listal rating (138 ratings) 7.4  IMDB Rating
5. Carnival of Souls (1962)
Mary Henry



A psychologically ill character, that's feeling like she's between life and death.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 574  Average listal rating (371 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.5 
6. Candyman (1992)
Helen Lyle



A well-written character that's likable and sympathetic. Along with Miss Giddens, she's one of the only true heroines on this list.

Top favorite male characters

My favorite male characters in Horror.
People who added this item 1261  Average listal rating (688 ratings) 8  IMDB Rating
7. Nosferatu (1922)
Count Orlok



With the look of a vermin, Count Orlok is one of the most unique looking and fiendish versions of Dracula. He's got no human traits left, which you can see by the bug-like way he acts and moves.

Max Schreck did an absolutely phenomenal job portraying this plague-spreading monster. Also, this is my favorite character of all time.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 488  Average listal rating (290 ratings) 7.2  IMDB Rating 7.2 
8. Re-Animator (1985)
Dr. Herbert West



A character that's so ruthless and cynical, he actually becomes quite likable. The definitive anti-hero.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 433  Average listal rating (294 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.2 
9. The Hitcher (1986)
John Ryder



While you could argue if The Hitcher is a horror film or a thriller, something that I'm absolutely sure of, is that John Ryder is something that's straight out of a horror movie. He won't stop until one of you are dead, and he's absolutely demented.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 2134  Average listal rating (1364 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.5 
10. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Freddy Krueger



One of the most vicious killers in film.

The thing that makes Freddy seem more vicious than Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers, is his demented humor and personality.

I will admit that this character got a little bit too silly later in the series, but in the first 3 films + New Nightmare, he's gold.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 63  Average listal rating (35 ratings) 5.6  IMDB Rating
11. Tourist Trap (1979)
Mr. Slausen



A sick, demented murderer, but at the same time, a sympathetic maniac that doesn't fully understand what he's doing.

That's what makes this character really disturbing and frightening, since you respond to his actions with mixed emotions.
Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 638  Average listal rating (377 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.6 
12. Dracula (1931)
Renfield



One of the most batshit insane characters in horror.

Renfield isn't really a villain or a hero, he's just a character that just is there, yet he still steals the show whenever he's in a scene.

Some of the scariest scenes I've ever seen.

16. The Exorcist III (1990)
The Nurse station scene. One of the most effective scares ever.

Orlok's rating:

17. The Sentinel (1977)
The stranger in the dark scene. Really chilling.

Lights out!

Best deaths

Brutal, inventive and disturbing deaths.

19. Zombie (1979)
I did not see that coming.

WTF?

No explanation needed.

23. Pieces (1982)
Uuuuummm...

Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 66  Average listal rating (40 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating 5.1 
24. Xtro (1983)
The Birthing scene.

I won't post it here though, since I'm pretty sure it's against the rules to post a video where a chick births a full-grown man.

Some recommendations

I thought I'd post some recommendations to some lesser known, yet great horror films.
People who added this item 204  Average listal rating (84 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 5.9 
26. Begotten (1990)
Inspired by a near death experience, this is absolute nihilism in art form.

Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 351  Average listal rating (174 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 6.8 
27. Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)
It's Eraserhead on speed, with metal fetishism and an anti-industrialization message.



Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 1141  Average listal rating (658 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 6.5 
28. Antichrist (2009)
A gruesome film about grief and the belief that evil is gender-related.

Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 33  Average listal rating (18 ratings) 6.4  IMDB Rating
29. Prophecy (1979)
An underrated eco-horror film that's actually really well-made, even though it can be a bit silly at times.

Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 139  Average listal rating (75 ratings) 6.1  IMDB Rating 6.1 
30. Below (2002)
Really underrated psychological-horror with a very claustrophobic setting.

Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 41  Average listal rating (16 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating
31. Of Unknown Origin (1983)
Intense and entertaining horror, about Peter Weller fighting a huge monster-rat.

Orlok's rating:


B-Movie Corner

So bad, they're good!
People who added this item 48  Average listal rating (30 ratings) 5.2  IMDB Rating 4.4 
32. Slugs (1988)
Funniest horror film, ever!

It's so gloriously cheesy and entertaining, and everyone should watch it!

Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 133  Average listal rating (101 ratings) 4.2  IMDB Rating
33. Troll 2 (1990)
"They're eating her, and then they're gonna eat me! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD!"



People who added this item 57  Average listal rating (34 ratings) 4.4  IMDB Rating
34. Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985)
Christopher Lee as a werewolf hunter, titanium bullets, Euro-werewolves, and a nude Sybil Danning as the queen of the werewolves...

Do I need to say more?


People who added this item 26  Average listal rating (13 ratings) 3.8  IMDB Rating 3.1 
35. SS Hell Camp (aka Horrifying Experiments of ... (1977)
Absolutely hilarious exploitation flick, with a man-ape-monster and an Ilsa-wannabe.



Orlok's rating:

People who added this item 23  Average listal rating (14 ratings) 4.6  IMDB Rating 3.8 
36. Spiders (2000)
A surprisingly entertaining film about a giant spider.



Orlok's rating:



A list where I put the top different things in horror.

I will try to only choose pure horror films, and stay away from Sci-fi and Thrillers.

GREAT LIST! The screenshot from Prophecy really speaks to me! Hard to believe that somebody else actually watched Xtro! So many great scenes: The black panther in the white hallway, the stick that blows up - and yes - a woman giving birth to a grown man. I recommend you watch Xtro Exposed, where the director thrashes his own film.
