Terrifying characters

[Scabutz]

Name some characters from TV and film that scare the living st out of you. But not cartoon characters . No Chuck Norris, No Jason, No Freddie Kruger etc. Scary normal people.

I'll start with a winner. Errol from Snatch. I would not want to meet that fker in a dark alley.

[HD Adam]

Pretty much any character played by Michael Ironside.

Ultimate scary baddie.

The dwarf in "The Singing Ringing Tree" from the 1960s TV show.

[dundarach]

The dad from Paper House, although it's a 15 cert, this movie has stuck with me ever since....



Especially this bit whilst shouting 'Who are you, who are you' naturally with his eyes scribbled out!

Go watch it!

hardly 'normal' people though are they.


Been watching Luther recently and what makes some of the bad guys scary is their utter banality - the banality of evil indeed.

Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell

Especially from the first couple of series.

The later ones, he was a little less rapey, but still....

You really do need to watch the film, the dad is in the little girls dreams AND is then even more creepy in real life, precisely because he's normal.

However, given this is PH and having all the facts is never an option, I'll give you that I didn't read the full OP's instructions...

Therefore how about



Kevin Spacey, John Doe

[Walter E. Kurtz]

Carl Boehm in Peeping Tom (1960)

Oh, and I'd just about managed to block out memories of the dwarf!

In the same vein, Francis Begbie, from Trainspotting.

Plus All the chavs from Eden Lake.

[SickAsAParrot]

When I was a kid, Ena Sharples.

Don Logan !

[SCEtoAUX]

Child snatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Terrifying at 8 years old, still pretty scary 47 years later.

[Spanglepants]

Not terrifying but found them creepy at the time - Fanny Craddock and Max Wall

[Chimune]

Hartley hare from pipkin :

[anonymous-user]

The dwarf from Don't Look Now

The Tall, Thin Man character from The Boy From Space, some educational series (Look and Read?) that we watched in middle school. It still makes my blood run cold even now.

[Gameface]

Paul Bettany had some menace in Gangster No.1.

"Look at me. Look at my eyes..."

[Legend83]

[Cold]

Begbie. Similarly unhinged as the already mentioned Logan in Sexy Beast.
