Scary Movie Characters

Choosing the main character in the horror movie is the thing that makes that movie famous. A proper "bad character" makes the tone of the film. Here are some scary characters that we can not forget:

Freddy Krueger

Taking part as a character in the movie "Nightmare on the Elm Street" Freddy Krueger makes the movie horror classic.

During the movie Freddy is not shown as a person that exists in the real world. You don't see Freddy's face. You can only see his shadow and his hands.

The focus is not on his physical characteristics. It's on the specific methods and the way that he treats the victims. He does not just choose to kill. His way of killing is in the dreams. As soon as you close your eyes and fell sleep, you will be dead. That makes the movie so terrifying.

John 'Jack' Torrance

"The Shining" is movie that proves the fact that everyone has the capacity to become monster. After the battle with alcoholism John is becoming a victim to his supernatural forces. His past comes to surface and he goes insane. He lives in his own world of terrifying rules. As a result he holds his son and wife as hostages.

Pinhead

In "Hellraiser" Pinhead is shown as supernatural entity. Although he has special physical ability, is not usual for him to choose actual physical attack on the victims. Instead, he prefers caring the victims with chains. He doesn't want just to kill. He wants to enjoy while he is doing that for a long time. As long as you sacrifice other people's lives you will be living.

Regan MacNeil / Pazuzu

In the "Exorcist" when Pazuzu took control over Regan's body, it was clear that nothing is safe from the evil. No matter how good person you are or how flawless your life has been, you are not safe. What makes the viewers speechless is the making of this girl's life real hell and the possession of her soul.

Norman Bates

In "Psycho" Norman Bates is normal person on a first look. However, the early childhood left deep scares in Norman's live. That leads to creation of a disturb person living in madness. You will be surprised when you find out that he took on his mother's persona. It's unforgettable that this character turns the normal things into horrifying violence.

Dr. Hanniball Lecter

In the movie "The silence of the lambs" Dr.Hannibal Lecter reached the heights of pure evil. He requested conversation about Clarice Straling's childhood traumas in exchange for his help. Can you image his perversity? He is human only on the surface - his human body. That is proven with the fact that even when he is behind bars, he can still torture those on the other side. The thoughts what he can do to you if he wasn't behind bars is terrifying everyone.

Different horror movies choose different "bad characters" which gives the movie the real scary atmosphere. No matter in what kind of shape the character comes in (human body or just like shadow, it really scares the viewers and makes them want more horror.

Like a person with a lot of creativity and wish for knowing new things I start with writing articles. Knowing the fact that my article will be useful advice for somebody out there, keep me doing the writing. Making research on new topics, and represent all of them to the millions of people is really big help to the next generation. I have on my mind that we have to improve the way of life on every aspect that we can. If you love playing scary games visit our site http://www.myscarygames.org/ and have fun.
