Full list of honorable mentions!

Hannibal Lecter (the silence of the lambs)- a terrifying smart cannibal who terrorizes people from behind bars. Even though his character was only given 16 full minutes of screen time, Anthony Hopkins still won an oscar.

Chucky (Child's Play)- Otherwise known as the lakeshore strangler, or Charles Lee Ray, this character frightened countless kids in the 1980s. You have to remember that this movie came out at a time where markets specifically targeted kids... often will life sized realistic dolls.

Judas Killer (The Pact)- This is a very underrated horror movie, and I am quite convinced that if more people were to see it, this would rapidly become a classic. Why? the answer is simple, its a terrifying movie, and one of the only ones to truly scare me, thanks in part to the creepy antagonist.

Brenda Bates (Urban Legend)- Urban Legend is one of the many movies that was inspired by Wes Craven's Scream. It offers a unique twist to the slasher movie formula... the killer offs people in the style of urban legends.

Jack Torrance (The Shining)- jack was just a normal guy who wanted nothing more than to take his family up to the mountains and enjoy the winter whilst taking care of the Overlook Hotel. However, Jacks' work, wife, and the feelings of isolation (not to mention the hotel haunting) slowly start to drive Jack insane...

Reverend Henry Kane (Poltergiest II: The Other Side)- Henry Kane was the last role Julian Beck played before he ultimately died, and he definitely left on a good note. The character of this creepy ghost preacher will not soon be forgotten. RIP Julian Beck.

The Headless Horseman (Sleepy Hollow)- Wonderfully portrayed by Christopher Walken (who you could tell was having the time of his life making this movie), the headless horseman is a ghost with a vengeance and a certain fetish for decapitation.

Sweeney Todd (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)- Sweeney Todd is a wronged man who is lusting for revenge. After being left to die and having his daughter kidnapped, Benjamin Barker (With the alias Sweeney Todd) returns to London and obtains that revenge by viciously murdering anyone unfortunate enough to drop into his barbering shop. He then has the bodies ground up and served as meat pies.
