You Won’t Survive

The Blob

From The Blob films

Known powers and abilities:

With each kill the creature makes, it increases in size, intending to spread worldwide until it has devoured everyone.

Bullets and explosives have no effect. It shows no signs of pain or slowing down when being hit or taking any damage.

It only appeared single-minded in its mission to eat anyone it came across. Worse, it could seep in through any nook and cranny, meaning there's no place the heroes can hide that the Blob can't get to them.

It's only when the creature is exposed to freezing temperatures or liquid nitrogen that it's able to stop advancing.

However, this doesn't kill the Blob, only causing it to lie dormant until it warms up and eventually eats again.

Why you won’t survive:

With no real shape or form, it oozes and you lose,

Godzilla (Gojira)

From the Godzilla franchise

Powers and abilities:

Many of his signature traits, include his massive size, strength, and even his atomic breath. He was shown to be an unstoppable force of nature as he laid waste to everything during his rampage through Japan.

Why you won’t survive:

There are no movie monsters more badass than the legendary Godzilla.

Since 1954, this classic Kaiju has stomped and smashed his way into the hearts and minds of millions of moviegoers and his popularity has only grown over the years.

While he's sometimes portrayed as an Earth-saving antihero, there's no denying he's more of a fearsome foe in his black-and-white big-screen debut.

All hail the king.

Clover

From the Cloverfield series

Powers and abilities:

Immense Strength. The creature possesses immense physical strength due to its enormous size as it was able to wipe out several landmarks with ease, including tearing the head of the Statue of Liberty off and throwing it into the streets of the city.

Their bodieS also expand and the central cavity explodes outward.

Why you won’t survive:

It was unstoppable during its rampage through NYC, and it could use its incredible size and strength to rip through entire buildings with ease. It had near-impenetrable skin that was able to withstand massive amounts of damage despite everything the US military threw at it.

Even worse? There’s more out there.

The Creeper

From the Jeepers Creepers franchise

Played by Jonathan Breck, and Jarreau Benjamin

Weapons and abilities:

The Creeper employs a variety of weapons in his pursuit of food. He commonly carries daggers and throwing stars made from the flesh and bones of his victims.

Why you won’t survive:

The Creeper’s ability to regenerate makes it pretty much immortal, and the only way to possibly kill him would be to keep him from feeding, but that definitely wouldn’t be easy.

It kills kills humans to harvest their organs every 23rd of March. The reason it does this is to replace the ones that are rotting away on the creature's body.

Good news? It only appears, very frequently. Bad news? When it does, you’re good as dead.

The Entity

From the films It Follows, and They Follow

Known powers and abilities:

As the origins and more about the entity are unknown, it’s also a immortal villain.

Why you won’t survive:

The Entity is a malevolent force of mysterious origins that follows its victims, regardless of their location or distance, and attempts to brutally kill them (often in a pseudo-sexual manner) upon making contact.

You’re literally screwed.

From the Jaws films

It’s a shark. That’s all you need to now.

Why you won’t survive:

Lecter that makes him a psychopath is his lack of empathy.

It’s has been suggested that the actual story, was fabricated by George and Kathy Lutz. And it’s current occupants insist that it’s not really haunted.

But why take any chances?

Known powers and abilities:

This creature has the ability to absorb and copy the DNA of any life-form it consumes, allowing it to take on its appearance, memories, and mannerisms.

Played by in real life, The Stanley Hotel, in Estes County, Colorado and Timberline Lodge, in Mt. Hood, Oregon.

“All work, and no play make Jack a dull boy.”

From the film The Babadook

Known powers: they include Possession, Teleportation,
Telekinesis, Shape-shifting, Manipulation of television broadcasts, Causing hallucinations, and Psychological manipulation.

Why you won’t survive:

The Babadook is scary because it is impossible to get rid of once it shows up on his selected victim's doorstep.

Babadook is not a monster or a demon with a physical manifestation but a thought form that can become a reality through belief and fear.

It is not possible to get rid of the Babadook completely as he attaches himself to his victims, making it one of the scariest horror movie monsters that cannot be destroyed.

“ 'Cause if it's in a word, or if it's in a book
you can't get rid of the Babadook. .... you'll see him if you look.”

The story of Annabelle, the haunted doll, is based on real events but the doll itself is not associated with a haunted house.

The real Annabelle doll is kept in the Warrens' Occult Museum in Connecticut, maintained by paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

It’s highly recommended not to go near it.

The same could be the same for the doll, in the film.

Annie Wilkes

Played by: Kathy Bates

From the film Misery

Weapons used: A hammer, was primarily to hobble her captive Paul Sheldon, because he failed to give her novel she felt she wanted, and killed off her favourite character.

Why you won’t survive:

In her twisted perspective, she perceives her actions as liberating them from the unbearable anguish and suffering they endure like that of the rat, and in her mind, she's always in the right, and everyone is out to get her. Annie truly has no moral compass, but what's even more scary is that she thinks she does.

Also fan is short hand for fanatic.

She can also go from kind and caring to unhinged very quickly.

“I’m your biggest fan”.

Using a special spell; Chucky can possess multiple host bodies at once, becoming what he refers to as his “Cult”.

The magical incantation."Ade due Damballa. Give me the power, I beg of you!", brings about broiling storm clouds of lightning and thunder in the skies above as the practitioner effectively swaps one body for another.

Why you won’t survive:

He maybe small, but he is still a very resilient killer doll, who is also very sadistic. You could try to kill him....

“Go ahead and shoot! I'll be back! I ALWAYS come back! Chucky: Yeah... but dying is such a bitch!”

Fredric Charles Krueger (also known as Freddy Krueger)

He will see YOU in YOUR NIGHTMARES! “One, two, Freddy’s coming for you.”

Count Dracula, Vlad Tepes, and Nosferatu

Played by: Doug Bradley, Stephan Smith Collins, Paul T. Taylor, and Jamie Clayton

From the Hellraiser franchise

Known powers: He’s the High Priest of Hell, one of Leviathan’s highest order and an incredibly smart and devious being.

He can summon fellow Cenobites with a thought and call upon Flesh Hooks at will to contain and assault anyone that opens the Lament Configuration, or any other device that can be used to open a portal to Hell.

He carries a set of unique torture implements at his waist and wields them with deadly proficiency.

He can peer into your psyche and discover what makes you afraid and use it in the most agonizing ways to break down your mental resistance in order to get you into Hell where he’ll offer your soul to his Lord, Leviathan.

Also the Lament Configuration, and torture. From which he can create other fellow Cenobites at his command.

Why you won’t survive:

Pinhead's intelligent and stoic characterization separates him from the mindless killing machines that populated 80s horror.

Pinhead's evil becomes more pronounced as the series continues, and his humanity becomes a more distant memory.

While he's easier to reason with than someone like Jason Voorhees, Pinhead knows how to make his victims seriously hurt, often with a good set of chains. Whatever you want to call him, he’s not someone to be messed with.

“Angels to some, demons to others. We will tear your soul apart.”

Michael Myers

Also peak human strength. Michael possesses Peak human strength to the point where he could lift people off the ground and smash through walls,

And great durability and stamina. Michael is able to take physical attacks such as weapons and punches. As shown being fueled by anger, Michael is totally immune to physical pain.

And also, anyone who comes with close contact, risks having either a telepathic link, allowing him to kill through others.

As well as a telepathic link, to certain victims.

Quite simple, he is pure evil.

Why you won’t survive:

By the end of the first movie, it’s clear that Myers is something far scarier than just a knife-wielding maniac.

Seemingly impervious to bullets, burning, and bludgeoning, Michael Myers has come to represent the unstoppable force that is evil.

And like many real-life killers, there’s no telling exactly why Myers is the way he is.

Ghostface

Played by: Various actors and voiced by Roger L. Jackson

From the Scream franchise

Weapons used: Mostly knives.

Why you won’t survive:

As long as you have an encyclopedial knowledge of horror films, and can out manoeuvre him, you’re good as dead.

While he (or whoever) can be killed, after all he (or whoever), is kill able, someone could take on the mantle of Ghostface.

Again, again, again, and again....

Played by: Tony Todd

Known powers: He is death.

Why you won’t survive:

How can a villain be so simple yet so complex? So familiar yet so mysterious? In the "Final Destination" franchise, characters’ intuitions let them escape Death, only to find it come back for them with a vengeance.

Although Death never manifests in a physical form, say as a guy in a black cloak with a scythe, its efforts do not go unnoticed.

To stave off Death, his subjects can become desperate, going as far as committing murder.

There’s no way to avoid the wrath of this villain, even in real life. But the fates of these characters are a special kind of disturbing.

“I’ll be seeing you. Real soon.”

Jason Voorhees

Played by: Ari Lehman, Warrington Gillette, Steve Daskewisz, Richard Brooker, Ted White, Tom Morga, C. J. Graham, Kane Hodder, Ken Kirzinger, and Derek Mears

From the Friday the 13th series

Weapons and powers used: He is seemingly unstoppable, with guns and most weapons rendered useless (he was “killed” a couple of times, first by multiple stabbings, and by rifles), however as hard you try, he will come back.

And you’re next.

As for powers? After being resurrected by lightning, he became even more unstoppable, and also in one case was able to take over other peoples, all though briefly.

“Guys, it's okay! He just wanted his machete back!”

Why you won’t survive:

The longer the series continues, the stronger Jason seems to become. Even when it seems like he's all but done for, Jason finds a way back. He even becomes a cyborg in one installment.

We only have one plan for encountering Jason: run as fast as we possibly can.

If he can survive Hell, multiple deaths, drownings, and kill Freddy Krueger, what chance do you have?

Norman Bates

Played by: Anthony Perkins, Vince Vaughan, Henry Thomas, and Freddy Highmore

From the Psycho trilogy, remake, and Bates Motel TV series.

Known weapons: Knives, mostly.

Why you won’t survive:

Granted, Norman has no powers, and can be killed, you still have to deal with the face he has a knife, is unpredictable at best, and able to lull you into false security

Avoid closed corners.

Sadako Yamamura / Samara Morgan

Played by: Various actresses and Daviegh Chase

From the Ringu series, and The Ring trilogy

Known powers: As Samara and Sedako grew up, they developed strange supernatural powers known as nensha, which enabled them to unintentionally burn gruesome images into their parents' minds whenever she was around.

Having no knowledge over their powers, her powers unintentionally spiraled out of control as Samara and Sadako grew up.

Why you won’t survive:

Sadako or Samara in the American remake - is an onryō, seeking revenge for her brutal death. This leads to the creation of a videotape that kills viewers a week later.

While the backstories vary across the different iterations, this character is consistently frightening, and her childlike appearance only makes her more unsettling.

Possessing otherworldly powers in both life and the afterlife, she’s a force that feels inescapable.

Avoiding her is one thing; stopping her completely is quite another.

“Seven days.”

Candyman & Daniel Robitaille & Anthony McCoy

Played by : Tony Todd and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

Front the Candyman series

Known weapons and powers: Teleportation, levitation, the ability to control swarm of bees, hypnosis, and a rusty hook where his left hand was.

Why you won’t survive:

We want to be careful about saying his name too many times, because we don’t want to end up like any of his victims.

At first glance, Candyman looks like nothing more than a handsome, well-dressed man, but looks can be deceiving.

And by the time you see the blood-stained hook where his right hand should be, it might be too late.

Kayako Saeki

Played by: Takako Fuji

From the Ju-on: The Grudge franchise and The Grunge trilogy

Known weapons:

Known in supernatural terms as an "onryō," or "vengeful spirit," the black-haired and pale Kayako has multiple means for tormenting victims. This goes as far as being able to use her hair as a stabbing weapon.

Why you won’t survive:

Supernatural entities like Kayako are hard to kill, if at all. She will also follow everywhere. Everywhere.

Phillip Covington

Played by: Julian Sands and Bruce Payne

From the Warlock trilogy

Known powers: Levitation, and vast demonic powers including telepathy, Electrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc.

From the Phantasm franchise

Why you can’t kll him:
