These are the villains from many films, games, TV shows, songs, comics, and books of the horror genre:Monsters,ghosts,ghouls,witches,vampires,zombies,demons,possessed objects,animals,robots,satanists,eldritch abominations,werewolves,mummies,cannibals,psychopaths,serial killers,cults andcult leaders,rapists,torturers,snuff filmers,mad scientists,mutants andaliens - the world of horror is a scary place and these guys are probably the reason why. They are designed to frighten, disturb and generally make us afraid. Good Examples of Horror Villains who are iconically famous from their franchises (e.g.Chucky,Freddy Krueger,Jason Voorhees,Pennywise,Negan Smith,Albert Wesker,Michael Myers,Jack Torrance,Jigsaw,Leatherface,Annabelle,Ghostface,William Afton,Pinhead,Captain Spaulding,Pamela Voorhees,Hannibal Lecter,Strangers,Sam,Universal Monsters, and way more).

Horror can besupernatural or merely disturbing but shares similar concepts such as death, dread and so forth. Villains in Horror do not necessarily have to inhabit exclusive genres either, as Horror can merge with almost any setting.

Note: Villains who are simply scary themselves (even if they are not killers) but do not come from horror works, such asRattlesnake Jake,Giygas,Flowey,All For One,Tomura Shigaraki,Judge Doom,Agatha Trunchbull,Kevin,Randall Boggs,Horned King,Coachman,Death,Slade,HIM,Hisoka,Fliqpy,Black Doom,Gwi-Ma,Tower of Sauron,The Lich,Riddler,Child Catcher,Lord Voldemort,Green Goblin,Dennis,Dag,Budzo,The Big Gray Wolf,Exo-Skin,Score Creeper,Burgermeister Meisterburger,Bill Sikes,Chef Saltbaker,The Devil,Millicent Clyde, andGmork do not qualify. Only villains coming from works intended to frighten the audience can qualify. They should usually go onThriller Villains,Thrill-Seekers orType Dependent on Version. Also, Normal Villains who adapt in Halloween Special/Scary-like media but still don’t come from horror works, such asLewis Dodgeson,The Joker,Ernesto De La Cruz,Shaw,Jafar,Hal 9000, andMola Ram don’t qualify.

Also, not all villains listed in this category need to fall under the Mature category, as some horror media can be aimed at children.
