Also I dont mind the obvious plot holes or inconsistencies in this series like it would others, because the whole thing is kind of based on "is this real or not? Guess we'll never know for sure"

[@dominikschmidt519]

One of my favorites has to be Patrick Bateman. He's an incredibly complex and multi-layered character (much like the person he's inspired by, Norman Bates) that you'd expect to be this charming lover type of guy but that is actually a disturbed maniac. What I love is that there's always this slightly arrogant, commanding undertone when he's talking to other people. Also, he's unintentionally funny.

[@cameronlindup7484]

The novel by bret Easton ellis is incredible

I agree with that. Candyman is underrated and I feel like the only reason he isn’t as recognized is because his look isn’t as cool as Freddy, Jason or Micheal

To comment on Michael Myers’s. I prefer the original Halloween but as far as sequels go I like the 2018 version much more. Obviously it has its problems but I don’t like the story of Michael being Lori’s brother. In 2018 he just kills to kill and you see that a lot in Halloween kills too. It makes him much more terrifying. Killing with no rhyme or reason.

Cody cody we Hannibal fans have been hoping for a 4th season of that amazing show since it ended.

Which is a shame because Mads Mikkelsen is probably the only guy outside of Anthony that can play Hannibal so damn well.

Pretty good list. I'm a little confused though as to why Pinhead is on your video cover art, since he is not even on this list. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall any reviews for the HellRaiser franchise; alas, this threw me for a loop.

[@skyofthelivingdead]

Chucky will always be my number 1, Jason number 2, but Candyman is my number 3. I have a big soft spot for tragic villains and Candyman is arguably one of the most tragic and frankly understandable in his vengeance, looking for his lost love. Just like your story with Pennywise, Candyman got under my skin as a kid. I’m glad he’s finally starting to get some love. Tony Todd is just as classy in real life too.

[@timothymorris157]

Number Six With Cheese sounds like my kind of source of information regarding anything food related and overall delicious. I’m definitely gonna check it out later. Thanks Cody. You’re the man! 😎👍🏻 Frankly I’m not surprised that Michael Myers made it to #10 at the bottom of the list if only because of the various masks and some sequels that didn’t really do well with the majority of the fanbase as far as I’m concerned. I wasn’t expecting Amy Wilkes from Misery but because of the Oscar Winning performance from Kathy Bates it’s no secret why she’s an evil and psychotic villain throughout the movie. Norman Bates and Candyman never really appealed to me to the extent of watching those movies. Freddy Krueger and Chucky are my personal favorites because they have such great, entertaining personalities that had me scared but laughing at the same time within all of their movies in their respective franchises. Thanks again Cody and i hope you had a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! 🍽🦃

[@pizzalisp5427]

tbh, I have a lot of horror movies I still need to watch or re-watch, but I have to say, Sam from Trick R Treat is a big favorite of mine. it's mainly because his design is the perfect balance between creepy and cute, and I love stuff that mixes those two things together.

In my past, I have seen some horror movies at the wrong time and place. But there’s one movie that scared me the most is Gremlins. And when time moved on, I’ve also seen Scream and although it was creepy and at first, I didn’t understand the concept of it. But now as I got older, I realized that the plot of some horror movies that are supposed to be scary and intense. However, there’s one horror movie that peaks my interest and that’s Freddy vs Jason. I like to see any type of horror icons fight each other to death.
