Pennywise can't be there because the list is for film characters. IT (where Pennywise is from) was a TV mini-series.

Totally forgot bit of a brain fart there. Though once the new film is done he will be able to :p

What about the actors/actresses? The portrayal of a film character depends entirely on the talent of the actor playing them? Kinda dumb, this only really applies to novels imo...

I agree with Lecter as a choice mainly because he is a person you could meet in the street and not know that he will literally eat your face off in a heartbeat. For me, what makes these kind of characters so scare is that they look like any other person on the street and act quite normal until their darker side is revealed, which in many cases never will be.

Just downloaded this movie and is currently on my watch list after the studies are finished.. quite old too (60's black and white movie). Following up on my previous post the actor playing Norman Bates was quite shy and nervous around girls IRL so as a result him playing the role of a maniacal killer would be less believable/scary I guess... But I'll have to decide after watching the movie.

Read an article on IGN relating to the guy who played sauron in the TLOR movies.. I have to admit I didn't think much of him at first but he's a epic pretty actor and starred in many classic british horrors (also 60's to 70's). So I guess you could say I'm on a classic movie/christopher lee downloading spree :p

Tsar would problably apreciate this bit from Lee's wikipedia entry:

He has mentioned serving in Special Operations Executive but has always declined to go into details.
“I was attached to the SAS from time to time but we are forbidden – former, present, or future – to discuss any specific operations. Let's just say I was in Special Forces and leave it at that. People can read in to that what they like.”
After the war, Lee, who can speak fluent French and German, among other languages, was seconded to the Central Registry of War Criminals and Security Suspects. Here, he was tasked with helping to track down Nazi war criminals. Of his time with the organisation, Lee has said: "We were given dossiers of what they'd done and told to find them, interrogate them as much as we could and hand them over to the appropriate authority ... We saw these concentration camps. Some had been cleaned up. Some had not." Lee then retired from the RAF after the end of the war with the rank of Flight Lieutenant to take up acting.

So, yeah, he was British Spec Ops.
 
Pennywise was a giant spider right?

I'd say chucky freaks me out more than those other people. Most of them are human so i know that I have a 50/50 chance in a standoff or 60/40 if I keep my cool,act smart and go Sam Fisher on em.

Sam Fisher - my inspiration for all of life's heavy situations. Michael Ironside's Fisher that is.
