Horror movies might have the blood and guts, but the villainous characters in movies outside the genre can be just as terrifying, if not more.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Horror movies have their fair share of terrifying villains, but some of the scariest, and most notorious, characters originate from their non-horror counterparts. To make a character terrifying they don't necessarily have to be the main villain, or antagonist. They can be, and often are, but they can also be a small bone-chilling role that ends up stealing the scene.
10 The Pale Man Guillermo del Toro's dark fairytale movie, Pan's Labyrinth is a fantastical story set against the background of Spain's political unrest and fascism of the 1940s. Although, Vidal is a sadistic villain, the creature, The Pale Man , is the most outright terrifying. Ofelia's narrow escape from being his dinner makes the small scene that centers around The Pale Man a pulse-pounding addition to the movie.
6 The Child Catcher Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, starring Dick Van Dyke as Caractacus Potts, is a classic example of a happy-go-lucky children's movie with surprisingly dark undertones. The Child Catcher plays the secondary antagonist in the story within the story that Potts tells his young children. However, he is hardly second in terrifying young children, and grown adults, who watch the film.
