discussion Is Freddy Kruger the scariest horror movie villain?

[Bears01]

In honor of spooky szn, I decided to take a deep dive and discuss this. My personal favorite horror movie villain is Michael Myers, but Freddy is truly the one who gave me the creeps. His whole vibe/aura/look has always creeped me out the most.

 

If not Freddy, who’s your answer ATRL?

Jeepers creepers. From the original movie shook me.

Same, ngl. For some reason though, he creeped me out much more in the 2nd movie though 

[Karla Cabello]

not when kelly BODIED him like this

 

[konaa]

No he’s a ****** in a Christmas sweater 

[J Legend X]

no, he is laughable...Art the clown is way creepy and scarier...so is Michael Myers, Leather face & ghost face tbh 

[Subzero]

He's much more creepy while being extremely fun and camp rather than scary

 

The only film in the franchise where he was 'scary' was probably the first film, after that he's just a super fun creeper.

New Nightmare is my fave along with the first film, I love him in that one. He freaked my little brother out when he tried to eat Dylan wrapped & his tongue Nancy

Leatherface creeps me out the most

[GraceRandolph]

He got progressively less scary, but he's definitely the most dynamic and entertaining. Silent slashers like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees can't relate to Freddy's TABS.

[Pop Life]

There's nothing even remotely scary about Freddy Kreuger, but he's a memorable character I guess.

Omg right but at the same time cracks me up right before when Julie is about to have a full on needle sword fight with the nurse

I agree with all that.

 

Art is so disappointing because the writer / director are SO bad at what they do that I can't believe they even do it, but the make-up and costuming department are fantastic. He could have been something in the right hands.

[Oktober Knight]

Yes, Freddy from the first film and especially the 2nd movie. Absolutely terrifying!

Not the scariest but the mostly iconic one. 
 

The scariest one for me its Ju On, that bich haunted me mid 2000’s.
