Is your money on Hannibal Lecter?

Please don't say Edward Scissor Hands.

In reply to The Lemming:

no, waa-a-a-y too hammy....

In reply to The Lemming:

Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter.

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs:

ps take it you're watching red dragon...

gregor

In reply to The Lemming:

I cant remember the name of the film, but it had a bit in it where they try to get away in a boat (quite small) and the killer is on board...

I don't watch scary films as a rule so if someone does recognise the one I am trying to describe, and it's tame, I do apologise but it did have the scariest murderer in it for me!

In reply to The Lemming:
Anthony Perkins still must be in with a shout.

In reply to Bingly Bong: It might have been Cape Fear...

In reply to The Lemming:

Michael Myers in Halloween.

Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Anthony Hopkins in Psycho.

In reply to The Lemming:

does samara/sadako from the ring count...?

perhaps john doe in seven....? (if they have to be alive...)

In reply to martin heywood:
Who played him?

In reply to aln:

Dunno, some psycho...

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs:


might be

In reply to The Lemming:

Richard Attenborough in 10 Riddlington Place.

The guy Noonan in Manhunter.

Brian Denehy in To Catch a Killer.

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs:

...also, the captain in 'pan's labyrinth', chilling...

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs:

Yep, I thought of that as well...

But definitely not Vincent Price in Kind Hearts and Coronets!

In reply to The Lemming: Jaws?

In reply to The Lemming:

they're wheeling lecter about tied to a trolley... i'm sure that happen all the time in high secure facilities...

In reply to The Lemming: The fiendish Prof Moriarty is hard to beat..

In reply to petestack:

Oops, yes I meant Dennis Price! :-O

But (thanks for the mail, Blue Straggler), I didn't actually say Vincent Price was...

In reply to petestack:

Watching Psycho right now. Subtle, understated but quite convincing!



Norman Bates. Or the mother? hmmmmm. I can watch this 1000 times.

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs: I'll ask Jules, he runs two of them (secure hospitals, not patients strapped to trolleys)

In reply to The Lemming:

ps Anthon Chugurh

In reply to notelvis: Another vote for Norman Bates.

In reply to The Lemming:

It's the anonymous bloke with the spade who kills the otter in Ring of Bright Water.

In reply to The Lemming:

Nosferatu (spelling?)in the original black and white silent movie.

In reply to Knitting Norah: You mean Max Shreck, certainly the most scarey vampire film of all time, but hardly a murderer?

In reply to Bingly Bong:

Billy Zane in Dead Calm? With Sam Neill & Nicole Kidman.

In reply to The Lemming:


I can't think of anyone more convincingly chilling that Mitchum in Night of the Hunter.

Henry Fonda in Once Upon a Time in The West should get a mention though.

Sergi Lopez does psycho quite well; he is very creepy in Harry, He's Here to Help, very different to his character in Pan's Labyrinth.

Paddy Considine in 'Dead Man's Shoes' Horrific righteous vengeance a-go-go. Chilling.

In reply to Niall:

How about Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Now that... was frightening!

In reply to The Lemming:

Raymond Lemorne in Spoorloos.

In reply to The Lemming:

Ben Kingsley as Don Logan in Sexy Beast.

In reply to The Lemming:

So perhaps he killed someone, but are you sure that would qualify as murder in the circumstances?

ps i didn't copy and paste, and i know where you live..

In reply to Anonymous:

Redrum.

; )

I'm also finding those gulls a bit terrifying in Hitchcock's The Birds. Pesky little buggers.

In reply to The Lemming:

Michael Rooker in Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Every person ( well, entity passing through them all )who killed in The Thing And, The Hidden.

In reply to The Lemming: nah, got to be Kim Jong Il in Team America

In reply to The Lemming: The preacher in the Poltergeist films..... scared the crap out of me.

In reply to The Lemming:

Bruce Dern in Silent Running
Dr Phibes
Sideshow Bob

In reply to notelvis:

Doesn't count - he didn't kill anyone so can't be classed as a murderer.

Mine goes back to the early 70's - First psychopathic type killer i ever saw in a Movie called 'The haunted House of Horror'. He lured his mates into a mansion then butchered them with a Kukri. I was quite young at the time and we were having powercuts - every time the lights dimmed I convinced myself someone was coming to get me. Don't watch many horror movies now - they don't seem to have much in the way of subtlety.

In reply to Clarence:


surely you mean....
the ABOMINABLE Dr Phibes!

In reply to toad:

Well it's not as if you have to differentiate him from the Loveable Dr.Phibes is it

In reply to The Lemming:

That mad f*cker that shot Bambi's mum.

In reply to graeme jackson:
What about the chef guy that came back to help and got a axe in the chest. He looked decidedly poorly.

In reply to Clarence:

Careful, the Wonderful-and-Kind-to-Animals Professor Phibes is notoriously litigious

In reply to The Lemming: Has anybody seen The Hitcher?

In reply to alanw:

oops. My memory isn't what it used to be.

In reply to Dave C:

Recently watched the original with Rutger Hauer - he's scary! What's the remake like anyone?

In reply to The Lemming:

The girl in the film "Audition". Female killers are always more scary.

In reply to The Lemming:

Oliver Reed as Bill Sykes in 'Oliver'.

In reply to The Lemming:

May I comment on your spelling mistake in the title?

For scary- wasnt Jack Nicholson in the Shining pretty scary, but he didnt commit a gory killing, unless you count that axe in the back of the black dude. Overall a pretty scary movie.

In reply to pingod: I'm starting to feel really sorry for the chef in the Shining. Flies all the way from his winter sunshine retreat, battles his way through the snow only to get an axe in the chest and either he's forgotten completely or it's not gory enough.

Poor bastard must be spinning in his grave.

Great movie though.

In reply to The Lemming: Stalin

In reply to The Lemming:
The dwarf in the red coat at the end of Don't Look Now - only on screen for the blink of an eye but terrified me
