Scariest human beings in movie history?

I know who you really mean and yeah I don't think i could ever watch Fire again because of how skin crawling that was.

Blue Velvet is a top contender for worst first blind date movie.

I watched Blue Velvet for the first time a week ago. Frank's absolutely unhinged. So unpredictable.

Ooh BOB scared the shit out of me. That scene where she crawls across the couch - wow! RIP Frank Silva, he really brought BOB to life and made him terrifying.

I'll send you a loveletter

Robert Carlyle is phenomenal in every performance I’ve seen of him. He single-handedly carried once upon a time through the train-wreck that was every season after the first.

I’ve known dudes like Begbie. Too real

Read a psychology book once that said that. Begbie is one of the most authentic depictions of a psychopath in fiction. Absolutely makes sense. The dude is terrifyingly real.

The scene where he throws a glass and then uses the resulting injury as an excuse to start a massive fight... the combination of lack of care for anyone else, love of chaos and violence, and calculated scheming... yeah I've known people like that and generally stay the f*** away from them.

Begby in The Blade Artist is even worse. The parts that take place in the docks have stuck with me since I read it

Those guys were terrifying because they felt like people you could actually run into on a backwoods road trip. No theatrical villain monologues or over-the-top acting, just pure menace that felt way too real

The hillbillies on The Hills have Eyes

Good call. I'd take him over Kathy Bates tho.

i don't like the trailer but i am still interested on his take of Max Cady in yet another version of Cape Fear

Pesci is really funny in Goodfellas.

Yeah, Goth is the best villain ive ever seen. Hes believably evil.

Broooo. Ralph Fiennes is a fantastic call out 

Joe Pesci in C***** too...

Shows his range to be a terrifying and loose cannon mobster in *Goodfellas,* who had a wit about him. And a bumbling amateur burglar in *Home Alone,* who also had a wit about him, in the same year.

De Niro as Travis Bickle wasn't any less terrifying. 

Masterful

The subtle change in Waltz's expression when he says "You are sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?" is chilling.

Sam Jackson as Stephen in Django if I'm picking a Tarantino character 

I think he starts scary in the opening scene but never has that same presence throughout.

That theme is unforgettable.

Carlyle is underused in films. Hes really damn good whenever i see him.

Hell yeah

Never seen that one but I'll raise you Eastwood in The Unforgiven.  "I've killed women and children..and I'm here to kill you Little Bill."

"Do you know what your sin is?" Him killing the guy in the beginning serves absolutely no purpose and he does it anyway despite claiming he's a "good man who has done great works". He's also aware he's a monster. "Malcolm, I'm a monster. What I do is evil, I have no illusions about it, but it must be done."

Good Indie call out. But for skin heads Edward Norton takes the cake.

"What if my problem isn't that I don't understand people but that I don't like them?" 👀

Kevin Spacey in House of Cards

John Doe\*

John Doe

Because he's f****** terrifying. I love JK Simmons and Whiplash changed how I look at him forever. I still love him but I'll never forget how scary he was.

Awesome movie and character. And according to Daminan Chazelle, Fletcher is based on a jazz instructor he used to have. Though, in most realistic scenarios— someone like Fletcher would've have overwhelming complaints filed against him for acting less like a perfectionist and just more of an unhinged lunatic who treats the environment less like a classroom and more of military boot camp training ground. And would've been gone in a few days top. Though, the character is naturally deliberately dramatized and modeled after Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in *Full Metal Jacket*. So, it's all good. XD.

He just reminds me of my dad 😅

My high school band teacher was named Flemming, and was such a raging a****** that I pretty much drove me to a breakdown. We had class for 2.5 hours per school day, section practice one afternoon a week, practice another, Friday night games, and Saturday morning practice too. AND you were expected to take private lessons. I was not taking extra lessons, and I swear he zeroed in on me to bully on every aspect imaginable. When I got braces, my mom took me straight from the orthodontist to drop me off at band practice. She asked Mr. Flemming: "Is it okay if she just fingers along on her clarinet today, her teeth are pretty sore?" He responded so syrupy sweet, it was obvious to me he was being sarcastic and putting on a show when he placated her with "Oh, of course! We wouldn't want anything to happen! She should take it easy and just rest, absolutely!" When band was called to order, he grabbed a woodblock and drumstick to keep tempo, and stood right next to me absolutely thrashing the damn block next to my ear for the entire practice. An absolute sadist. I had a breakdown and quit not long after. For the rest of high school, my previous band friends only called me by the name "Quitter." Just last week I had seen a clip on YouTube pop up for Whiplash, which I had never seen. My husband, an actual professional musician, is like "You should watch it!" and played the clip. NOPE. Nope, nope, nope. I cannot.

Take your medicine

Realism is the key. As adults we can dismiss the boogeyman. Her character was scarier in the book. Coming into the room with dead eyes, fish lips, and gravy all over her sleeve from binge eating. Kathy was the perfect casting 

She freaks me out the most because I saw the movie when I was 10. Thanks, Dad.

Civil War too

I mean Walter is up there but I get what you're saying

Love my boy Ben. Never seen that film tho.

WAY too far down. This is the one. Don Logan is one of the greatest villains of all time.

I thought Ian McShane's Teddy Bass was even more intimidating - that whole movie was just famous hard-man Ray Winstone getting bullycided by both lol

Now I'm pissed. Thanks for the reminder on Cuckoos Nest.

Yes. Also her character in DS9

Ezra Miller irl bro

F*** that movie made me want to blow up the federal building in okc or something

Yep. F*** that movie. I couldn’t even finish it, it made me feel just awful

Scary part is I had a friend named Kevin that looked just like him

Willem Dafoe is just terrifying in real life

Michael Pitt had so much potential..

Malkovich in Con Air is better. Too cartoony for me but just such a fun character. Now Dennis Hooper in Speed?

That movie is terrifying because people exactly like that, exist everywhere.

A popular choice. And I agree. The haircut adds so much to the character. 

Top 10 film all time

I just learned that Zé Pequeno was an actual gangster in the favelas in the 70s.

EVVVEEERRYYOOONNNNEEEEE!!!!!

I'm not gonna call it.

This could be a whole new thread of scariest producers/directors/agents.

Not alot of female picks ITT. Thanks for the change up 

Is Trump not in that?

The vanishing (the Dutch version) is such an evil movie. Even with the “silly” music playing over his practice(?) sessions and his psychology more or less being explained to the audience, it still makes for a deeply horrifying watch.

Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you. FANTASTIC writing.

Brother did you read my post? Lol
