Who is the greatest horror movie villain icon of all time? Who has the best movies? Who would you like to see in a versus matchup movie and how would you write it to make sure it's a big box office hit?

Greatest how?

>Who is the greatest horror movie villain icon of all time?
Probably Dracula to be honest. In terms of sheer cultural longevity, impact and ubiquity.

That bitch from Titanic

I've seen this answer before and I don't think it's a bad one, but I'm also not sure if it's necessarily a good one. His good movies are spaced out of so many years and there's so little continuity between the characters. Like do you give him credit for Nosferatu? No, I don't think you do.

who is that guy below Carrierts on the right side? a gnome??

>>213710380
It's him.

The Creeper and Pennywise are a bit of a stretch I think, they're in good films but I wouldn't count them among the greatest. And Carrie is arguably a victim more than a villain. Dracula as missing as the other pointed out, as are the other classic movie monsters, and in my opinion Jigsaw is a classic horror villain given the influence and longevity of the Saw franchise. Hell, maybe even the hook guy from I Know What You Did Last Summer.

That's the Leprechaun. Warwick Davis' greatest role.

I'm fucking blind, jigsaw is on there

>>213710569
I've always thought he was at the very least top tier just by virtue of the levels of Concept he brought to the table.

>>213710145 (OP)
Dracula for the classics
Michael for the late 70s-early 80s
Freddy and Jason for the mid 80s-early 90s
Scream for the late 90s-2010
I would say there hasn't really been a strong horror icon for the last 15 or so years. Maybe Terrifier, but people seem to have mixed opinions on him.

>>213710617
shut the fuck up faggot

This guy fucks.

Say Scream for 2000 to 2010 is crazy. I actually like Scream 3, but you didn't get Scream 4 until 2011. He completely dominated the 2000s and also was the strongest horror icon of the 2010s even though his power level weakened.

>>213710779
His 1st, 2nd, and 4th movies are good. But most of the other stuff is pretty shit. The SyFy movies were decently entertaining, but they feel like such a low budget step down compared to the better parts of the mainline series. Seed of Chucky is one of the worst movies ever made.

>>213710714
>but people seem to have mixed opinions on him.
Contrarians in this board, yes.
Art is an horror icon by now.

>>213711146
Maybe an astroturf icon for the nu-horror dweeb age. Just completely dogshit though.

>>213710867
Saw was very popular, but I wouldn't call Jigsaw or the puppet a horror icon. I bet if you asked most people the name of the puppet in your pic, they either wouldn't know or would say Jigsaw, which isn't correct. Saw is more memorable for the traps than the actual villain. Scream masks were still selling every Halloween throughout the 2000s and there weren't really any other competing horror icons so I give it to Scream.

>>213711541
The Scream mask thing peaked super early in the 2000s before Scream 3 even came out. It was done so early that Scary Movie 2 didn't even feature it. I think you're severely underestimating Saw's iconic villain.

Paramount studios. AppleTV. GayFlix. CNN. Fox News.

How is Billy a villain? It doesn't do anything?
The greatest villain is obviously Ye Wenjie

>>213712115
who the fuck is Billy?

Gotta love the energy that only the most iconic horror icons with levels of crossover to the rock genre bring to the threads.

Gladys has already dethroned Jigsaw as horror's biggest icon.

>>213713269
I don't think that's true necessarily. Ever heard of a flash in the pan?

>>213710145 (OP)
>No Tall Man.
Pleb list.

>>213713304
It's not a list it's just a visual prompt. If you want to bring up the Tall Man that's a perfectly good thing to do.

This thread is basically like hey what great iconic horror villain should I watch tonight. It is Friday after all!

>>213714788
>Friday
>Freddy
Shit this is like a word association!

It's got to be Michael Myers. The first big screen major movie slasher. Classic film, classic director and even got the title of Halloween to cement the film and franchise with the holiday. Then it's Jason and then Freddy. Everyone else is a tier below.

Michael Myers.

>>213715245
>The first big screen major movie slasher.
Leatherface predates Myers but I agree with the rest.

Dracula and Frankenstein are more culturally relevant than all those characters put together.
>>213710324
>Like do you give him credit for Nosferatu? No, I don't think you do.
Nosferatu is literally an unlicensed Dracula adaption, you're a retarded person.

>>213715245
Isn't there the issue of him being really boring though?

>>213710290
Haha holy shit

>>213710145 (OP)
The Smile monster, hands down.

Freedy for having only goated movies (the Englund ones). But not sure if anything after the 1 or 2 is horror.

>>213716133
He has gotten so fucked up with zoomers not having the ability to dream
