1. Tony Moran
As Michael Myers in Halloween (1978)



"Micheal Myers" pretty much introduced me to the slasher genre, and is an amazing character. He has all the elements of the creepy serial killer villain. I admire "Halloween", and praise "Michael Myers".

2. Anthony Perkins
As Norman Bates in Psycho (1960)



WOW! Norman Bates is probably the creepiest character in all of cinema. He has two personalities, including his mother! he gives me the goosebumps every time I see him. He is truly an excellent film icon.

3. Javier Bardem
As Antoine Chigurh in No Country For Old Men (2007)


Javier Bardem really proved himself in the role as Antoine Chigurh. He really showed what he can do. I think of Chigurh, as one of the most intimidating, and great movie villains ever created.

4. Tobin Bell
As Jigsaw in The Saw Series (2004,2005,2006,2007,2008)



Though killed in the third installment, "Jigsaw" is still a legend in the way of movie villains. His crazy contraptions are still carrying on, so far into the fifth film. This great character is a classic to be remembered by any horror movie-goer.

5. Jack Nicholson
As Frank Costello in The Departed (2006)



You can't get any better than Jack Nicholson, especially when he's playing the role of Frank Costello. An amazing character in every way. Maybe my all-time favorite.

6. Heath Ledger
As The Joker in The Dark Knight (2008)




I think Heath Ledger's "The Joker" is one of the greatest movie villains ever in a film. His portrayal of the dark, gritty yet genius mind of Joker is a well deserving oscar winner. Congratulations to Heath Ledger.

7. Chris Cooper
As Robert Hannsen in Breach (2007)



Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper) is one of the most witty, and intelligent characters I have ever witnessed on screen. His mind games, and genius ability, make him one of my all-time favorite characters.

8. R. Lee Ermey
As Sheriff Hoyt in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning



Sheriff Hoyt was excellent in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He played the role great, and looked very realistic while doing it. I wouldn't want to be pulled over by him. One of the most intimidating, and truly creepy characters in cinema history.

9. Ralph Fiennes
As Lord Voldemort in The Harry Potter Series



"He who must not be named", also known as Lord Voldemort, is one of the scariest looking, and powerful movie villains in movie history. He hunts Harry and his friends through every installment, and does a great job at doing it.

10. Anthony Hopkins
As Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence Of The Lambs, and Hannibal



Every time I saw Hannibal, or The silence of the lambs a few years back, Hannibal Lecter would bring chills down my back with his extremely creepy motives. He is an extraordinary classic character.

11. David Prowse
As Darth Vader in Star Wars



What can I say about the classic "Darth Vader"?. Only so many words can explain the greatness of this character. When I first saw the Star Wars series back when I was a kid, I loved watching him, and he is still great to this day.

12. Thomas F. Wilson
As Biff Tannen in The Back To The Future Series (1985,1989,1990)



O Biff Tannen. The bully in Back to the future, but more than that. He was a big part of the success of The "Back To The Future" Series. Great actor, and nearly flawless character.

13. Arnold Vosloo
As High Priest Imhotep in The Mummy Series (1999,2001,2008)



Prince Imhotep is one creepy character. He is unstoppable as well, so that makes him a kick ass villain. One of the best ever.

14. Tom Cruise
As Vincent in Collateral (2004)

Very nice list... truly remarkable!
Yet I kind of miss some names in here, like Leatherface, Norman Bates and Patrick Bateman. But I guess it's a personal matter
Sure deserves a vote :)

Yes yes, I have forgotten to update it actually. Thanks for the recommendations. I will add leatherface and Norman Bates definitely.
