Ju-on: The Grudge (2003)
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.

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.

The Lair of the White Worm (1988)
Lady Sylvia Marsh
Seductive, vicious and actually pretty funny, Lady Sylvia Marsh is one memorable villain.

Kwaidan (1964) (1965)
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.

Carnival of Souls (1962)
Mary Henry
A psychologically ill character, that's feeling like she's between life and death.

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.

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.

Re-Animator (1985)
Dr. Herbert West
A character that's so ruthless and cynical, he actually becomes quite likable. The definitive anti-hero.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Xtro (1982)
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.

Begotten (1989) (1991)
Inspired by a near death experience, this is absolute nihilism in art form.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)
It's Eraserhead on speed, with metal fetishism and an anti-industrialization message.

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.
