Top 5 Horror Movie Character Icons Of All Time

[Scaremonger]

My list...


#5 The zombie (ghoul) -- They're all over the freakin' place to the point of overkill. But hey, they are icons. Romero defined the flesh eaters, and Fulci did a good second banana job.


#4 Frankenstein's monster -- Put your arms out, stiffen your legs and walk slowly. There should be no mistaking your silly impersonation. Go the extra mile and stick a couple of bolts on your neck, and it's over.


#3 Jason Vorhees -- Put on a hockey mask, grab a blade of choice, and everyone knows the score.


#2 Freddy Krueger -- Yes, Freddy.This guy was showered with mania. MANIA. I was there. Popular pop/rap songs about him. Hell, Freddy had his own album! Here's the kicker... this rated R superstar was a hit with the kiddies! Lunchboxes, halloween kid's costumes, the bladed glove... how did this happen? Freddy was a child murderer!?! ANOES 3 was the full kick off of Freddy Mania.


#1 Dracula -- Black cape, slicked back hair, fangs, and 'I vant to suck your blood, blah!' Don't know who made that line up, but it's a dead giveaway. And the Count, Best Sesame Street character ever!


That's my top 5 list. Am I all wet? Agree, disagree? Please, share your top 5 list.

5: Bub from day of the dead!
I'm not sure if you can count him, but i love him so much!

4: Pinhead
There's just something about him, perhaps it's the way he talks or the fact that i watched one of the hellrasiers when i was little and the image of him has stayed with me forever

3: Chucky
The chucky films are not the best, but everyone knows and recognises chucky!

2: Jason

1: Freddy

[Scaremonger]

Yeah, Chucky would have a strong shot in my top 10, because this isn't so much about favorite monsters or franchises, but more about their iconic nature, and flooding into pop culture.

[koolmike]

1. Zombies (cemetery zombie from NOTLD '68, Bub, Nurse in Dawn of the Dead '78)

2. Witches

3. Evil Spirits/Demonic possessors (Captain Howdy - The Excorcist)

4. Any and all slashers (Mike, Jason, Norman Bates, etc.)

5.Vampires (Bela)

5.The Mummy
4.The Wolfman
3.Frankenstein's Monster
2.Jason
1.Dracula

IMHO,The Mummy is a more recognizable character then Freddy,so thats why he gets the number 5 spot.

1. Demons (Not possessing spirits - Badass demonic monstrosities.)
2. Werewolves
3. Zombies
4. Killer Dolls

I'm not sure on a top five, but I'll say that Boris Karloff and Jack Pierce's Frankenstein monster is number one.
