Favorite Slasher Movie Character

[Raider Nation Fisher]

So whos your favorite one?

I gotta go with Ghost Face, Pinhead, and Jason.

Im not sure that Pin Head counts, but he was still gnardog in the HellRaiser movies.

If you have a chance, see "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer". Came out in the mid 80's IMO best thriller/horror movie ever, because it could really happen. Based on serial killer Henry Lee Lucas

Jason... saw the original when I was way too young and that mask freaked me out for years. Fortunately I eventually learned to enjoy hockey.

That was the only horror movie I could watch when I was little. Now Freddy scared the mess out of me. Once I got older though I found the Freddy movies to be quite humerous. That wretched little Chucky doll though. That thing still creeps me out.

The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and its sequel, Dr. Phibes returns. It's campy, funny, gory, and a love story, all rolled into one. Victims get sandblasted to a skeleton (sequel), frozen, eaten by insects, and have their blood slowly drained from their bodies, via reverse transfusion, with their blood being "stored" in bottles, while they were conscious. All were revenge killings for those he blamed for his wife's death.

Those are just a few of the many methods of killing that Phibe employed.

Here's a bit more:

Plot

In 1925, Anton Phibes, a horribly disfigured genius supposedly killed in a car crash, is convinced that his beloved wife died a victim of incompetent doctors, and begins elaborate plans to kill them. Inspector Trout suspects Phibes, but finds little support from Scotland Yard. Eventually Dr. Vesalius, head of the team of doctors that operated on Phibes's wife, begins to believe Trout and aids him in the hunt for Phibes.

Using various highly imaginative methods based on the Ten Plagues that befell Egypt in the Old Testament, Dr. Phibes kills seven doctors and a nurse with the help of his beautiful and silent female assistant Vulnavia (played by actress Virginia North). He has reserved the final punishment for Dr. Vesalius. He kidnaps the doctor's son and places him on a table on which a container full of acid is waiting to destroy the boy's face. A small key implanted near the boy's heart will free him, but Vesalius must perform the surgery within six minutes to get the key before the acid falls. Vesalius succeeds and instead Vulnavia is sprayed with the acid as the police arrivies.

Convinced he has accomplished his vendetta, Phibes retreats to a stone sarcophagus beside the embalmed body of his wife. As he drains out his own blood and replaces it with embalming fluid the coffin's inlaid stone lid slides into place, concealing them both in darkness. Trout and the police arrive and discover that Phibes has mysteriously disappeared. Trout and Vesalius recall that the "final curse" was darkness and they speculate that they will encounter Phibes again.

The Ten Plagues of Egypt

Dr. Phibes takes his inspiration for the murders from the Old Testament, the Ten plagues of Egypt:

1. Boils: Prof. Thornton is stung to death by bees (not shown, only referred to during the film)
   
2. Bats: Dr. Dunwoody is mauled to death by bats
   
3. Frogs: Dr. Hargreaves's (who is not really a surgeon; just a psychiatrist) head is crushed by a mechanical mask of a frog
   
4. Blood: Dr. Longstreet has all the blood drained out of his body
   
5. Hail: Dr. Hedgepath is frozen to death by a machine spewing ice
   
6. Rats: Dr. Kitaj crashes his plane when attacked by rats
   
7. Beasts: Dr. Whitcombe is impaled by a brass unicorn head
   
8. Locusts: Nurse Allen is eaten by locusts
   
9. Death of the first born: Phibes kidnaps and attempts to kill Dr. Vesalius's son Lem
   
10. Darkness: At the ambiguous ending of the film, Phibes drains the blood from his own body while injecting embalming fluid, apparently joining his wife in death.

Not all hack and slash but Psyco creeped me out. probably cause I was to young to see it but even when I watched it when I was older the Norman Bates caracter got to me.

The leprechaun was freaky

[Gone_Phishin]

Michael Myers, by a landslide. None of them really scared me like him. To this day, I still have a reoccurring nightmare about him trying to kill me. They are usually pretty horrific.

Chucky.....I don't know why. Dolls scare the crap out of a lotta people....including me. But I love watching chucky.
