I shared one of my first terrifying famous movie villains below, but a close second would have to be the Fireys from Labyrinth.
Some of the replies to this thread made me remember just how great some actors are. The ones who could really make a villain believably frightening.
I think we hit most of the classics, but feel free to comment with yours if we missed it.
1.
Danny DiVito’s penguin was the first villain I was ever scared of. Who is yours.

13. Tim Curry was so much scarier than the dude in the remake.
