With Halloween on the horizon, it’s time to gear up and list out the very scariest of the scary movie characters. These are the characters who haunt our dreams, who make us scared to walk down that long, dark hallway, and who make it impossible to sleep with the lights off at night. These are the characters that really get under our skin and make it crawl.
Just think - there is a reason why we remember the scary movies by their scary characters rather than the frightened protagonists and the spooky atmosphere. We love being scared and we love putting a face on our fear. Not all of the scariest characters have to be human to scare the living daylights out of us, which makes the possibilities endless for being scared.
Get ready to get scared as we count down the top 10 scariest characters ever seen on the big screen. May your night be filled with nightmares of the following 10 characters, and for many nights to come.
