Really y'all. Who's the best? The baddest? Why? (I've made this topic before, and I've seen other people do it.)

I'm caught between 3. Here is my list and why

Leatherface: This guy... for whatever reason.. seems like the most brutal of the bunch. The silent antagonist, who's calm, thoughtless movements give the impression it's business as usual. During the early 90's a young man played an old VHS tape, and through a grainy perspective, he saw the most brutal and terrifying scene of his young life. An unnatural hallway, a strange door slams open, and an unsuspecting teen is clubbed to death by a monster, his twitching body dragged behind the door.. Effective without any blood.

Buffalo Bill (Jame Gumb): Portrayed brilliantly by, Ted Levine. What made this work for me? We see the crime, we hear the stories, all of that's pretty standard. It isn't until evil introduces evil, that we get the full picture. Through the eyes of a madman, we step into the world of the depraved. Just how sick can one person be?

Henry: This one isn't fair considering it's based on an actual serial killer, who may or may not have committed the crimes he confessed too. Either way, this movie really dives into the mind of a murderer, and Henry is pretty well structured.

You'd mention buffalo bill but not Hannibal lector? Trounce...

Hannibal Lector is side character in the original silence of the lambs. Would you like me to mention all of the terrible movies where Hannibal Lector was the main antagonist?

Hannibal
Hannibal Rising
Red Dragon (Kind of, he was a secondary villain in this too, and the movie wasn't that bad. The original "Manhunter" was just as good.)

Kevin Costner in Waterworld.

lol ok

Psychologically? I'd have to say Patrick Bateman aka Christian Bale in American Psycho.
As in just terrifyingly deranged? It's hard to say although I don't disagree that Leatherface is pretty demented and twisted. Just the thought of being chained up in his basement while he hacked away at me is disturbing.

Maggot from the August Underground Series is pretty Depraved. Way more disturbing than leatherface for sure. You guys are all casual horror fans I see...

Let's see... who else... Vukmir from A Serbian Film is not exactly a stable human being.

You guys haven't seen anything if you think Leatherface is the most disturbing character in Horror.

Won't disagree, I won't watch a lot of horror. And anything to depraved that leaves a sick feeling in my gut I avoid. I don't get off on that shit, real or not.

Nothing wrong with that As a hardcore Horror fan I just get annoyed when people make silly claims like 'the Shining is the best horror movie ever' and 'Leatherface is the scariest movie villain'.
