Dean6805 says,

It's hard to beat Hannibal Lecter.

Sagacious says,

You Tubing Heath Ledger's Joker may just make you think again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX says,

Robert Walker as Bruno Antony in STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

Dean6805 says,

Sagittarian, Ledger was indeed brilliant.

marymc says,

Every wicked step-mother in every Disney flick scared the shit out of me.

oopsalittle says,

Remember the movie 'Duel' with Dennis Weaver being stalked, chased by that truck driver? Never saw the truck driver but he freaked me out! What a great movie.

Dean6805 says,

Good point, oops. The unknown bad guy can be even more frightening than the known one. I read an article that said that Michael Myers was referred to as "The Shape" in the original Halloween movie.

oopsalittle says,

Dean - I just googled The Shape' thing - you're freaking me out!

TeaTopper says,

Kathy Bates in "Misery" was diabolical. I remember one scene where a theater full of adults screamed out loud.

violetheart1 says,

Darth Vader is my favorite, but I've never been afraid of him.

Believe says,

Kevin Kline, The Pirates of Penzance.

SolitaryMan says,

Kevin Spacey, The Usual Suspects

DynamicDbytheC says,

Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter (with Shelly Winters). I saw it as a child and it haunts me to this day. He plays a "preacher" who is pure evil. His seemingly normal and calm exterior was chilling. It was the first time I saw a bad guy that didn't look like a bad guy.

Dean6805 says,

With "LOVE" and "HATE" on his knuckles, right?

Mourningdove says,

Darth

Mourningdove says,

Darth

DynamicDbytheC says,

Dean, yes.

Level1 says,

Michael Keaton as the tenant from hell in Pacific Heights. DD, yes, Mitchum was great in that and in Cape Fear but I think Robert DeNiro's take on that same character was even more twisted. When he stuck his thumb in the daughter's mouth it was just wrong, SO VERY, VERY WRONG!!!!!

Level1 says,

I just reread the question. I would not pick either of those characters as a "favorite" because they are just way too disturbing. If I had to choose a favorite, then it would be Bette Davis as Baby Jane simply for the camp factor.

Colt_Mach1 says,

Darth Vader.

HiddenIdentity says,

Mine isn't so much a villan as she is absolutely bloody crazy. She's Vera Cosgrove, played by Elizabeth Moody, in Dead Alive.

ba_miracle says,

Yes marymc! Why the heck are they so mean?

Amapola says,

what Sag said - The joker by Ledger, but now that Ledger is it will take a lot to like it again.

But hey, Gollum remains "my precious".

Amapola says,

correction "now that Ledger is dead..."
