Gonna have to go with the spectacled Nazi "Toth" from Raiders of the Lost Ark (the Gestapo Guy).
"Let...me...show...you...what....I....am...used....to."
Either that, or the demon from "The Exorcist."

For some reason, Mark Harmon's portrayal of Ted Bundy in a 70s flick called The Deliberate Stranger just creeped me out. I have a hard time connecting him to any other role.
The Devil in the movie "Fallen" with Denzel Washington. Because it could be ANYONE!
The entity "Bob" from Twin Peaks T.V. series and the movie Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me.
Everytime I see that character I get the willies big time- and shit just doesn't really affect me like that, ever...
What a nightmarish villian, a parasite that gets "inside" men and feeds off them.

He is. But does his character truly scare you every time you see him on film?
HAL, and Alex from A Clockwork Orange scare the shit out of me every time they're on screen.

Depends on the role I guess. He was an amazing Joker, he dumped acid on that pretty girls face and then gutted her later in the film. He has a range to him that allows him to be scary, funny, serious, etc.

Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. She a crazy bitch who becomes a dragon. Plus she had a dungeon and torture room. Damn scary when you are 6. Maybe we could contract her to go to work on the prisoners at Gitmo!

The bad guy from "No Country for Old Men." He was without remorse and had a misplaced code.
Anton Chigurh is on my top 5. Here's why.
He's the physical embodyment of chaos. Everything he says means nothing. Everything he says means everything. Nobody will stop him from getting what he wants. And what's worse is that he doesn't want to be this way... he feels that he NEEDS to be this way. Which makes him even more depressing.
In terms of motivations he's very similar to Heath Ledger/Chris Nolan's Joker. Who also makes my top 5 for all the same reasons. However, I place the Joker slightly above Anton for one reason. He doesn't feel he needs to be. He ****ing wants to be the embodiment of chaos, murder, and violence. ''Some men just want to watch the world burn.''
He existed just to be the opposite of good. Or the opposite of order.

Ralph Feinns - Amon Goethe in Schindlers' List

I'll repeat my favorites:
Heath Ledger's Joker, for the reasons magic_salad articulated
Michael Moore
Current POTUS (yes he has a movie)
Alex in Clockwork Orange
Ledger's Joker is definitely the scariest though, not in terms of the "scares me while I'm watching the movie" though he does that, others do that more. I'm thinking more along the lines of the fear factor of what he embodies. Chaos, the destruction of order, the utter disregard for the value of his own life and the lives of everyone around him, the disregard of the value of everything. He doesn't want to do anything but challenge existence, and all the rationality it bases itself on. That kind of thing keeps me up at night, that those people exist and that one day I might meet one of them. Those people scare me, more than anyone else. At least with almost anyone else there is some motive, some objective, and if you know the objective, you can find a way out with your life.
Bane in the new movie lacks that level of crazy, great character, but lacks the true, hack-and-slash-for-fun, play-with-peoples'-moral-compass crazy.
all of the killer clowns from outer space.
The "family" from the original Texas Chainsaw.
I'm not sure about the scariest ever, but I know for sure when I was a kid of seven or eight and I saw the movie "Psycho" for the first time, the Norman Bates character just totally freaked me out. It was quite awhile before I could take a shower and not lock the door and not take the occasional peek from behind the shower curtain to make sure I was in the clear. Hitchcock definitely threw a "Holy Shit" into my young mind!
Oh! I totally forgot about the masked two women and masked man from 2008's "The Strangers"
Talk about chilling.
Satan in the movie The Exorcist.
I can't speak as an adult. I have seen lots of stuff but have avoided most of the really chilling things. Mostly because I am busy and don't watch a lot of movies and when I do like action movies more than anything, or Pixar. Though Ledger's Joker is probably high on the list. That I have on DVD.
But when I was around 8 or 9 or so (back in the mid-70s), I went to the movie theater and saw a "documentary" called "Bigfoot, The Mysterious Monster" where they talked about various sightings and findings (foot prints etc) with "scientists" and then recreated reported sightings with a guy in a big scary bigfoot costume. Of course Bigfoot would jump out and scare the person who reported the sighting. (Not in a comic "jump out and scare" but bigfoot would appear or bash in the window or jump the car or whatever) This was on the big screen, with just me and some friends.
Mind you, I lived in Phoenix at the time in suburbia. Not a pine tree or woods for lots of miles. I walked home and my folks were not home. I went into the backyard and found the corner by the house/fence furthest away from any gates in the fence and huddled there and waited for my parents to get home. I was scared of "Big Foot" being out there at night for several years.
When I was 10 we moved from Phoenix to the woods of New England in a small former milltown, now bedroom town in the woods, where we had 3 acres of land, 2 of which was woods (and everyone on our street had 2+ acres and it was one big forest we would run around in and play in).
I would not go outside the house alone by myself for YEARS due to the fear of "Big Foot" being out there in the woods. I was probably 13-14 or so before I got over it (and started playing commando and stuff late at night in the woods sneaking up on the opposing force quietly etc). I would not go out to the wood pile and get wood for the fireplace/stove at night (outside light on etc) and would not walk to my friends' houses down the street without my parents after dark. The fear was that real and immediate that "Big Foot" was there in the woods watching me. I had an intellectual knowledge that it was probably not true, but the images from that movie I saw on Bigfoot were still with me and drove that fear.

My top 5.
1.) HAL 9000
This is a being of ultra rationality. He cannot be reasoned with, because he IS the voice of reasoned. He has logic'd out that you need to perish for the good of the mission, and he is completely calm the whole time. I mean... he's a ****ing machine! And he knows how to take advantage of human emotions. Like at the end... '"Dave... I'm scared... My mind is going... I feel it...''
This MACHINE is begging not to die... but is it because he feels regret (remember emotion WAS programmed into him) or simply so that he can avoid shutdown?....
2.) Alex DeLouge
His is a guy (kid) who feels pure ****ing Nirvana at being a horrible person. His idea of fun is beating, and raping an old woman. And we're supposed to identify with this person. That's what makes it worse. That we're supposed to identify with him.
3.) The Joker. Heath Ledger's.
Reasons given.
4.) Anton Chigurh
Reasons given.
5.) The Little Girl from the Exorcist.
This is one of my favorite horror films ever. I mean... it's ****ing Satan. In a little girl. I know the rest of mine are logical villains, and I spit in the face of zombies, the people from the Strangers, the little girl from the ring, etc....
BUT IT'S ****ING SATAN. IN A LITTLE GIRL.
''You're mother sucks cocks in hell!'' = Still my favorite insult ever.
My honorable mentions... are Bill Sykes from Oliver. He's just a horrible bastard. Kidnapping, beating his girlfriend to death, who gives a shit? This guy's a mother****er.
Annie Wilkes from Misery. Explosive peronality. To the extreme.
Norman Bates from Psycho. ''A boys mother is his best friend.''
Bill Mosely as Otis from House of 1000 Corpses. He's like a cross between Johnny Winter, and Charlie Manson. ''I present... FISHBOY!'' Plus... Bill Mosely just dissapears into every role he does.

Yeah, that's is why I went with Chainsaw, along those lines Hostel was pretty ****ed up and those were some scary ****ers. In the Norman Bates tradition, the scariest thing is thinking you are dealing with rational, sane and normal people and then discovering that you actually are not.

Hey you picked some good movies.

The worst thing about HAL 9000 is they neutered his motivations in 2010. That just negated all the impact for me.
And Alex ****ing rocked. I saw the movie completely differently, with Alex and his "droogies" being punishment for a society that had become too tolerant and spent all their time trying to reform those who had no wish or inclination to be anything other than what they were. Sadly it was a very prophetic movie in many ways.
The Exorcist is one of a handful of movies that ****ed me up as a kid. I was only 13 when I went to see it at the Midnight Movie with a girlfriend. So that meant I had to walk home at about 2am after seeing that shit.

I never saw 2010. Is it directed by Kubric? Is it good?...
I wanted to comment about the Elite Hunting club in Hostel.
They scare the shit out of me because they're a COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE. And there isn't really any way to know just how ****in' deep their op goes. I mean... watch the second movie. Especially the bidding scene, and the scene where that one pussy dude who turns out to be a nut meets his ''purchase''.
Eli Roth is a very talented man, as is Quentin Terantino, and I love seeing them work together. I hope to see more of it in the future.
I'd also like to add that I like the way you mentioned observing Alex and his ''droogies''. Thinking of it that way, may make it even scarier. But still... the fact that you're supposed to identify with him makes that even worse still...
Keven Spacey from Seven may deserve a mention as well, as does Tyler Durden. Tyler Durden does for quite possibly all the same reasons as the Joker or Anton. Chuck Palahnuik is a great author. You guys should give him a read.
Spacey is just a good actor, and is good at playing a cold creepy ****. Even though he can do good.
Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs may also get a mention, because he reminds me of a real life serial killer. He's pretty realistic if you look at past serial killers.

Sadly no, on both points. I really, really wanted to like it because I enjoyed 2001 so much. All it really managed to do was make 2001 suck a little by association. Kinda like how Alien 3 and all the subsequent sequels took away from the Alien franchise.

I actually didn't see the second one, I found the first one a bit too disturbing. I don't particularly care for the mix of sexuality and gore, to me nudity and sexuality are enjoyable things and I don't like to combine them with things that are repulsive to me. Same thing that prevented me from ever really getting into 80s slasher movies since they usually involve killing hot chicks.

Oh. If it's not directed by Kubric then I don't even care. It won't effect the first one at all for me, because it won't be a legit part of the story.
Thank God. The first one is perfect.

Different strokes for different folks. There is sex referances in the second one, but it's from the womans perspective. So it's slightly different. You should see it. I personally think sex, and violence go together like cookies, and milk. I dig it in films. It just works.
Honestly, much as I loved the film, it was so over the top and campy that I couldn't take it at face value so it was more of a comedy to me. I laughed through most of it.
I can kind of understand that, actually. It's just different to me. I don't know why, but it's a very believable world to me. I loved it. :)

Zodiac was awesome, and delivered great performances for all actors involved.
I might have said it wrong, but Kevin Spacey doesn't SCARE me. But he puts me on edge, as the bad guy in that film. Like I'm always expecting him to do something really ****ed up. He doesn't dissapoint. I love that there isn't some epic standoff between the good guy and the bad guy in that film. It's perfect. I loved Seven, and it's on my top 10 movies of all time list.
Do you guys think I should do an anti-heroes thread?

I think somebody already did. You mean movies like "Human Centipede" and whatnot?
Yes. But the Human Centipede wasn't that bad. And it wasn't a very good movie anyway.
If I did it here, it would be a way for dudes here to be exposed to it, or whatnot. I'm a big movie guy, and a lot of dudes here may be interested.
I'd also be interested in doing a list of 1930-50's era detective films.

Seven actually bored the shit out of me. I didn't care about any of the characters or the diabolical plan.

Different strokes for different folks, bro. I loved it. The characters, the music, the plot, the environment, everything.
How do you feel about the old Hammer Dracula films, 50's era science fiction films, and shit like that?
Or grindhouse films.
Oh by the way: The bad guy from Red Dawn is easily one of the most hatable villains ever.
Why? He's a dick, and a commie.
One of my favorites was Rutger Hauer from "The Hitcher" He was such a twisted killer in that movie.

Yeah, of all those listed, this guy actually does scare me. He was Anton and Ledger's Joker 25 years ago. Every single time I see a hitchhiker or bum I think of him.
Him and the clowns from Killer Clowns from Outer Space, the only horror movie that succeeded in scaring the daylights out of me and gave me nightmares for years.

My second favorites right behind the Universal originals. 50s sci fi would be a close third. One of my all time favorites is The Day the Earth Stood Still, but I even like the cheesy API ones.
Or grindhouse films.
Some interesting ones here and there, but for the most part the same endless tedium.

For me, hands down this mofo right here. Much bigger, stronger, faster and agile than any human coupled with some serious firepower and the ability to become virtually invisible. Not to mention the fact he only came to earth to kill for sport. That's a badass alien IMO.

As a kid my upstairs bedroom was near the same level as the trees, after watching this movie for the first time, those trees kept me up many nights. My shitty mini-blinds just wouldn't close enough no matter how hard I tried.
Ghosts, demons, satanic stuff, and other supernatural villains have never gotten to me, and I've never been able to engage with movies that feature them by being frightened by such things. I just can't make it feel real to me. Even watching them in the dark and alone, I just end up bored. It's kind of annoying, as I really would like to be able to enjoy more horror movies.
But that doesn't mean being immune to fear caused by other movies. The film that's probably screwed with me most is Jaws. I saw it when I was a little kid, and at that time was spending a lot of time on the coast and in the ocean. I really, really, really, did not want to go swimming in the ocean after that movie, but my sadistic (how it seemed at the time at least) parents made me swim out to the sandbar, which was at least a couple hundred feet out. I was like 11 years old and freaking out the entire time. After I got back on the beach in one piece, swimming was fine again after that.

To exemplify this concept watch the movie Das Experiment aka The Experiment from 2001.
That whole movie was absolutely disturbing, and not from your normal sick twisted stuff you see in movies today, disturbing from the point of view that just about any human is capable of what happened there.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250258/
Anyhow the movie was based off of an actual study performed by Stanford back in the day.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment
Aparently there is a newer version of the movie out, though I doubt it would affect me in the same way due to using actors I have seen before.
Michael Moore.
You beat me to it.
Seriously The Exorcist scared the shit out of me as a kid!

You know what, I guess the witch from the Wizard of Oz scared the living dog snot out of me until I was about 10.
After that I thought she was sort of over-the-top and more like a green clown in a black dress.

Ehh, those Stanford students were a bunch of pussies. What really happened was blown way out of proportion. They didn't experience anything like our SOF guys go through at SERE-C.

That poor man (Julian Beck) was actually dying of a cancer while the movie was being filmed. No wonder he looked like a corpse.

Lol. That movie wasn't really disturbing, but it was kinda funny. I dig it. I hate that he got away with it though. He shoulda died or something.

As are a lot of movies out there. I used to laugh at all the so called scary movies when I was a kid. I have not seen this since I was a teenager.
The predator from the 1st movie was a badass that killed everyone even though they were heavily armed and trained !! I still love that movie even with Arnolds cheesy 1 liners.

I think why 'Wez' un-nerved me was the whole seatless pants thing the mohawk haircut the forearm crossbows and his pretty blond 'mount' and his only lines were "Kill, Kill, Kill!" Plus they kept him chained up!
'Toe Cutter' was pretty good too...I just don't think his behavior was as creepy as he was eccentric. I always wondered how they got the fly to crawl on his face, was it on cue?
BTW a new installment of Mad Max 'Fury Road' is due to be released 2013 and Hugh Keays-Byrne aka 'Toe Cutter' has a role in that movie as 'Immortan Joe.'
