Who is the greatest horror movie icon?

Da_Muffinz

Out of every teenage slasher, psychotic thriller, and horror movies you've seen who in your mind is the most legendary icon of them all? I tried to pick the most famous characters that I know terrified audiences around the world, but most of all who scared the shit out of us when we were young lol.

It was a very tough decision for me between Hannibal and Pennywise, but I chose the clown because I don't think I was ever more afraid as a kid when I saw IT.

Hannibal Lecter

Hannibal Lecter is the most iconic villain of the last thirty years, and although I wouldn't call him a horror villain, he haunted my thoughts for years. So intelligent but so fucked up.

For sure man. Like I said, it was between him and Pennywise. I fucking love the entire Hannibal series. They're all so brilliantly good, and disturbing as fuck. He's indeed a legend. He probably has the most famous quotes.

easily michael myers. Halloween was a pioneer in the slasher genre

Michael Myers

I'm going with Michael because Halloween really got me into horror movies. Although overall, I think just the way the 1974 TCM was done really did the most on me :-SS

Oh nice! That's cool man. I take it you hated the Rob Zombie version? Lol I sure did. It was a disgrace. PLUS! You cannot at all beat John Carpenter. He is literally the greatest horror movie director of all time.

i thought Rob Zombie's halloween movies kicked ass. it was nice to see a more logical explaination as to why michael myers went crazy. in the original Halloween 6 they tried to tie in halloween 3 with the rest of the franchise and said michael was the subject of a pagan sacrifice or something lol. in all honesty, no matter who was directing the remake nobody would've topped carpenter's original. but i think rob did a hell of a job. the original is classic. plain and simple.

It was a very cool idea to show his origins and all don't get me wrong, but I think the way he executed it was terrible. He tried to be so over the top on making the movie more disturbing than it already was ruined it. He changed the story dramatically too. The second one didn't make any fucking sense to me at all. Especially the end, why did the sister do all that shit, and that creepy smile? I thought for a sec. that she was Michael.
