HALLOWEEN TOP 10: CREEPY CHARACTERS

As per tradition, I will celebrate this Halloween and its seven day countdown with my Halloween Top 10-lists, warming up with some bizarre and creepy movie characters.

#10 -  Captain Spaulding, House of 1000 Corpses

I love Rob Zombie, both his music as well as the directorial debut of House of 1000 Corpses. Known for creating utterly and perversely bizarre characters, he's taken the worst scary figure, bordering on phobia, from my childhood and turned it into one of the most disgusting personalities hitting the screen.

#9 - Masked guy, Fire Walk With Me

There are a lot of symbols and characters I have yet to figure out the meaning behind in both Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me. It's safe to say that the masked guy and his little rendezvous with The Little Man From Another Place, BOB, Mrs. Tresmond and her grandson during a dream sequence in FWWM is one of them. 

#8 - Frank, Donnie Darko

Death manipulated or not, the point is not who's in there; the point is the costume itself.

#7 - The Stranger, 30 Days of Night

I don't do well with backwoods-dressed, redneck-accented guys who act and look like mad rapists. Especially not the appalling  appearances of the stranger in 30 Days of Night.

#6 - Margareth White, Carrie

No, sin never dies, but hopefully it get what it deserves and takes the rest of the nutty crusaders with it.

#5 - Mrs. Bertha Mills, The Others

Who doesn't love atmospheric ghost stories? Especially when you don't know which party is dead. Although I've always had a hard time seing Fionnula Flanagan as anyone else than Molly Culhane in How the West Was Won, she does the role of Mrs. Bertha Mills with beautiful and frightening ambiance. 

#4 - Constance, American Horror Story

There really isn't anything gory or obviously disturbing about FX featured murder house's next door neighbor Constance except the creepy atmosphere of her appearance.

#3 - Leatherface, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Uuhh, if I hadn't been so desensitized I'd probably have some serious nightmares about his face. There's something Transvestite-going Joker in Batman-going panicking retiree about this patchwork that makes me a little nauseous.

#2 - Dr. Frank-N-Furter, The Rocky Horror Picture Show

The 1975 film adaption "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" of the British horror comedy stage musical "The Rocky Horror Show" presents Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter; the self-proclaimed "sweet transvestite" from Transsexual, Transylvania.

#1 - BOB, Twin Peaks/Fire Walk With Me

The garmonbozia fetishist Killer Bob is hands down the most frightening, psychological torturer/molester/terrorizer and with him David Lynch created a character that very few writers/directors could ever compare with.
