For me the most horrifiying, evil thing ever created is this:
A gremlin, i watched "The gremlins" when i was a kid, and it scared me to death. I couldn't sleep for a week. I thought that everything cute and cuddly could turn into a monster.
And frankly these things still creep me out today.

that is better (or worse.)
True, but he had to use a Space Station to do it...last time I checked, Frieza used HIS OWN engery attack to blow up a planet. Not only evil, but scary strong.

He wasn't a very nice guy in Casino, either.
True, but in both films I found both of Pesci's characters likeable...maybe it's just me, but I didn't really see either character as "evil"...Criminal yes..but not evil.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
Monster Rain wrote:Yeah, he's kind of got the whole "Boondock Saints" thing going.
It's not like the people he's killing are particularly friendly either.
Exactly..it's not as though he extends his violent activities to include shooting Sam and Sally Suburbanite or Joe Q Citizen...
In Goodfella's for example, Tommy doesn't kill anyone who isn't some how involved in his "gangster world"...it's more a matter of "business" than " butchery"...

Monster Rain wrote:Not to mention the fact that any of the people he whacks would do the exact same thing to him.
"Now go home and get your shinebox!"
...Loved that scene.
And yeah, with the exceptions of "Stacks Edwards" and " Muray the wig Guy"...he didn't kill anyone who didn't pose some sort of risk..
And hell, Stacks came back as a Gangster himself in Pulp Fiction..and as a Jedi Master..
Plus Muray the wig Guy was a rat..he deserved that ice pick in the noggin.

I seriously can not believe 9 pages of this thread and no one has even mentioned the best bad guy/girl ever.
Norman Bates.
Arguably the best bad guy ever.
Psycho was really the turning point in horror films, it took them from their infancy and influenced most of the horror films that came after it.

I...um...wow, I'm a bit stunned that you'd describe one of the greatest psychological thrillers of all time as "dull" KC...
Sure...it's not a "BANGBOOMPOW"! sort of film , but that's due to the fact that Hitchcock weaved a great deal of subtle complexity into his movies..which,in my opinion, make them far more interesting .

I've seen Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds", "North by Northwest" and "Rear Window" but haven't seen "Psycho" yet, I like his films though.

All very good movies, but Psycho, IMO...is an absolute Masterpiece ...definitely give it a watch MilkDog.

You called him ' MilkDog '!! That's frakin' hillarious!
And got to agree, Psycho is a must see classic.
For me, the truely scary part of his character was he could be the "guy next door".
