Laura

Under the Skin (2014)

Scarlett Johansson plays the hot alien version of The Simpsons' Kang and Kodos in Under the Skin. She's sent to Earth on a human hunting mission so she can send our bodies back to her home planet for feasting.




Annie Wilkes

Misery (1990)

"YOU DIRTY BIRD!" Never before has such a seemingly harmless Christian woman been so terrifying. Kathy Bates won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role as Annie Wilkes, the Stephen King-imagined maniac who holds her favorite author captive and terrorizes him.




Alex Forrest

Fatal Attraction (1987)

The ultimate femme fatale, Glenn Close's Alex Forrest scared cheating husbands back to their wives for a decade following the release of Fatal Attraction in 1987.




Regan MacNeil/Pazuzu

The Exorcist (1973)

In her Oscar-nominated role as Regan, Linda Blair gives one of the scariest onscreen performances in movie history. Beneath all the blood and cuts and insanity is a tiny 13-year-old girl. But, of course, that's what makes her so scary.




Carrie
Carrie (1976)

Stephen King's quietly abused high school girl was brought to vivid life in 1976 by Sissy Spacek in Carrie. She goes berserk, unleasing telekinetic hell on her small town after classmates vote her prom queen so they can dump pig's blood on her. Big mistake. Chloe Moretz starred in the 2013 remake.




Peyton Flanders

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992)

Rebecca DeMornay scared a generation of mothers who dared to think about leaving their children in the arms of a nanny thanks to her portrayal of Peyton Flanders (no relation to Ned) in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Peyton is smart, beautiful, and hell-bent on revenge against an innocent family.




Nurse Ratched

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Louise Fletcher's turn as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress. Equally patronizing and bloodless, Nurse Ratched wasn't physically menacing, she was psychologically terrifying, which is much worse.




Samara

The Ring (2002)

Daveigh Chase's long-haired intensity as Samara in The Ring is the chilling center of the 2002 American remake of the Japanese original, Ringu.




Nancy Downs

The Craft (1996)

This was the role Fairuza Balk was born to play. In Andrew Fleming's The Craft, Nancy is the only one of the coven with a true dark side. Things don't exactly go her way in the end, unfortunately, but with those piercing blue eyes and the goth makeup, she's ensured her cult-worship status for years to come.




Bellatrix LeStrange

Harry Potter Films (2007-2011)

The scariest thing about Harry Potter's resident evil witch Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter)? She clearly reveled in the dark magic she wielded. The Death Eater was responsible for torturing Neville's poor parents until they went mad and killed sweet, loyal Dobby.




Ravenna

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

"Beauty is my power," croons Ravenna, the Wicked Queen of Snow White lore, reimagined in 2012's Snow White and the Huntsman by Charlize Theron. Between sucking the youth out of pretty young women and sending out phantom armies, the evil queen took milk baths and transformed into flocks of ravens.




Mama Fratelli

The Goonies (1985)

Ma Barker-clone, Mama Fratelli (Anne Ramsey), in The Goonies, is the type of movie character you never forget. With a face like a catcher's mitt and a voice that could saw wood, Mama Fratelli ruled her little family of fugitives. Also worth a mention: Ramsey played another black hole of a woman, "Momma," in Throw Momma From the Train.




Mallory Knox

Natural Born Killers (1994)

Beautiful and wholly sadistic, Mallory escapes from an abusive father and runs away with the meat man, Mickey Knox (Woody Harrelson), and, together, they become the most infamous killers since Bonnie and Clyde. Juliette Lewis blew audiences and critics away with this role, lending Mallory a demented edge that made you love and fear her.




Suzanne Stone

To Die For (1995)

Suzanne Stone is a different kind of scary. Inspired by real-life psycho Pamela Smart, Suzanne manipulates three high school students into murdering her husband. Nicole Kidman proved she could carry a movie with her pitch perfect depiction of the soulless Miss Stone.




Jennifer

Jennifer's Body (2009)

There was Natasha Henstridge in Species and more recently, Megan Fox in Jennifer's Body, as murderous creatures disguised as bombshells. Jennifer is possessed by an evil demon with a taste for human flesh. The black comedy isn't the most frightening flick, but when Jennifer goes all-teeth and chows down, you don't want to be in the vicinity.




Lisbeth Salander

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)

Lisbeth Salander's spiky looks and penchant for violence make her threatening on a good day. Between Noomi Rapace's original portrayal and Rooney Mara's 2011 take, Rapace's was the darker, more intimidating Lisbeth. Heroes can be scary too.




Elle Driver

Kill Bill, Volumes I & II (2003-2004)

Daryl Hannah showed off her psychopathic side in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films. Of Elle Driver AKA California Mountain Snake, Hannah said, "It's the first villain that I've played in a movie that has absolutely no vulnerability and no innocence, nothing whatsoever that is likeable about her, other than she's so bad."




Eli

Let the Right One In (2008)

Twelve-year-old Lina Leandersson's Eli, the beguiling vampire child in Tomas Alfredsson's Let the Right One In, is the most riveting character in recent horror history. Equal parts innocent and bloodthirsty, she truly doesn't seem human behind those giant dark eyes. Chloe Moretz also played the character in the American remake.




Hedra Carlson

Single White Female (1992)

Nobody does obsession like Jennifer Jason Leigh. She turned a harmless little waif named Hedy into a furious cauldron of rage in 1992's Single White Female. In her twisted search to replace the twin sister she lost, Hedy sets her eyes on Allie (Bridget Fonda), her unassuming NYC roommate.





Asami Yamazaki

Audition (1999)

For those of us with a fear of needles, the Japanese torture-fest, Audition, is probably unwatchable. Japanese actress Eihi Shiina's sadisitic turn as the mysterious and deadly Asami ensures if you weren't scared of the spike before, you will be after.

Joan Crawford

Mommie Dearest (1981)

Faye Dunaway is a force of nature in Mommie Dearest. She gives a ghoulish performance as Joan Crawford, the Hollywood starlet whose demons were her undoing. Crawford terrorizes her adopted daughter, screaming at her for using a wire hanger and then beating her with it. Choking and scratching, clawing and kicking, she explodes into violence so arbitrarily, the fun of the film is the absurdity of it.




Cruella De Vil

101 Dalmations (1961)

Of the legion of animated Disney villainesses, we'll take Cruella as the most vile. A venemous old crone, Cruella's mission in the Disney universe is to kidnap and skin Dalmation puppies so she can don their fur! Is nothing sacred in the world of Disney and fashion?




Mrs. Danvers

Rebecca (1940)

When Maxim de Winter brings his newly minted wife home to Mandelay, she's greeted by the creepy Mrs. Danvers, the estate's housekeeper. Still loyal to the first Mrs. de Winter, Rebecca, Danvers keeps her bedroom as a shrine and later commits a demented act of arson. Judith Anderson's eerie performance as Mrs. Danvers still stands as a benchmark for screen psychosis.




Baby Jane Hudson

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

Bette Davis was nominated for Best Actress for her wide-eyed evil role as Baby Jane Hudson, former child star, now a washout who lives with her crippled sister, Blanche (Joan Crawford). Baby Jane abuses Blanche relentlessly as her jealousy and rage turn into madness. Completely over-the-top, Davis' Baby Jane remains one of cinema's great villains.

[Ivan Kramskoï]

the woman in shinning during the bathroom scene.

[Siberian Cold Breeze]

If you haven't seen the movie May -one of the creppiest female horror character -it is a must see one.
She is so broken beyond repair. Behind her innocent , shy personality , she is insane and very disturbing .




May wants to make lots of friends , problem is , she takes it too literally

-esp Kazimiera you would like that one- she has a doll

[Faklon]

[Smaland]

Lansbury plays Eleanor Iselin, a Communist agent who has allowed her own son to be clinically brainwashed into becoming an assassin. In this image, she is instructing him to carry out a political murder.

[Skjaldemjøden]

I thought the mother in the old Carey movie was the scariest character.

[Vorg]

Russian actress Anna Demyanenko from movie "Gospodin Oformitel" ("Mister Designer") (1988)

[Zmey Gorynych]

Celentano's daughter in Passion of the Christ.



I know a nurse Ratched IRL. You wouldn't want a mother in law like her.

[Jägerstaffel]

Nancy Downs

The Craft (1996)

This was the role Fairuza Balk was born to play. In Andrew Fleming's The Craft, Nancy is the only one of the coven with a true dark side. Things don't exactly go her way in the end, unfortunately, but with those piercing blue eyes and the goth makeup, she's ensured her cult-worship status for years to come.

Ohh, teenage me was so in love.
