Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Horror movie villains have had some of the darkest backstories ever seen in the history of cinema, as their terrifying existence influenced their sadistic lifestyles. From intensely abusive childhoods to sinister supernatural forces, horror movie villains have endured origins that would turn even the most optimistic and cheery individual into a ranging maniac with a seething desire to fill the world with pain.
9 Jason Voorhees Friday the 13th Close The machete-wielding hockey mask-wearing killer Jason Voorhees truly never had a chance for a normal life, as his dark backstory included his equally troubled mother, Mrs. Voorhees. While Jason was the main antagonist of the overall Friday the 13th franchise, in the original Friday the 13th film, it was his mother, Pamela, who stalked and murdered teenagers at the Crystal Lake Camp, where her son was believed to have drowned.
Leatherface’s dark backstory was truly tragic, as he was also a victim of his deranged parents, who initiated him in their murderous ways before he was left to rot in a youth reformatory for unwanted children. It was here that Leatherface was subjected to shock treatment and torture. With one horrific experience after another, it was no surprise that this once innocent young boy grew up to be the ranging maniac known as Leatherface.
5 Daniel Robitaille/Candyman Candyman Close As the main antagonist of the Candyman series, Daniel Robitaille had his origins in a Clive Barker short story called “The Forbidden," in which he was portrayed as an African-American man who was brutally murdered for engaging in a forbidden interracial love affair in the 19th century.
