Are these villains really all that scary?
I mean sure their faces do haunts us for years to come but when you look at the behind the scenes pictures. It turns out most of it is good acting and movie magic. After seeing these villains out of context, they just seem silly and it is obvious that they are just actors trying to do their job as best as they can.
While some of these villains might not be from horror movies. At the end of the day, they are bad guys.
