Top 10 Best Horror Movie Killers!

Great list! Might be unpopular, but I think I would have Jigsaw top 3. Maybe even 2

No Leatherface

Here’s my ranking of the “main” horror movie killers

1. Freddy Krueger-I love how much of a jerk he is. He is funny but mean spirited and has the most creative kills and overall movies, and the scariest premise of any of these slashers

2. Jason Voorhees-he and Michael are one and the same, so it really depends on who you think is cooler. For me, that’s the man Jason Voorhees. Cooler appearance, and way more iconic kills than Michael. So yeah, he’s better.

3. Chucky-he’s such a goofball, you gotta love him. I put him below Voorhees because Jason is more iconic, but he’s above Michael because he has too much personality to be any lower on this list

4. Michael Myers- he has some pretty good movies, but he’s just a worse version of Jason to me. He’s only really got 1 iconic kill, and also doesn’t seem as cool in general compared to Jason(who would kick Michael’s ass in a fight btw) but I still like him, and he is genuinely pretty scary.


5-leatherface-he’s alright, and I respect him for kicking this whole slasher thing off. But he’s not even my favorite killer in TCM! that would go to Chop Top from tcm 2. I like him as much as Michael, but I put him lower since he needs help from his family to kill, plus I felt like you would all be mad if I put him as high as Michael. But just know he and Michael are interchangeable.

Growing up, I disliked horror movies, but having an older sibling best believe I watched a good amount of them, with that being Chucky was my #1 until the TV show. The movies have always been so iconic to me, but I Can’t stand the approach taken by the TV show.

Holy crap. With the #1 fake out…you got me. I was totally like “yo Sean….You can’t be serio….ok. No you’re not.”

I never thought of Terminator as a horror movie

Top 2 best killers of all time are Art and Freddy

This list is so wrong

Vote by favorite killers😂 all us horror fans sound crazy 😂😂

“This isn’t real enough for you, Billy? I’m not real enough for you? I was real enough FOR GEORGIE!” - IT
That is one of the most savage killer lines ever in my opinion! You’re giving a kid shit about brutally killing his younger brother! Like God Damn!

Here in Canada, the rating system is a funny thing, you can get away with a lot of stuff and it only be 14A aka Deadpool and Wolverine was 14A, once you add nudity and what not it turns into a 18A but there has been only a few times they’ve given an R rating in Canada and Terrifer 3 now has one of THE ONLY R ratings for a movie! Everything in America and other countries is R but here it’s very rare so that movie must be extremely fucked up if this is the only R Rated movie

Would the creature from The Thing count?

Art should be higher

Finally someone who pointed it out! Michael has always remained a serious slasher through & through. That’s why I love him. He’s what a slasher feels like it should be. 🎃 🔪

Id put Art in Top 5

For those wondering about Sean’s #7 since it’s missing here, it’s Terminator

My top 5 are

1-Michael
2-Jason
3-Freddy
4-Ghostface
5-Chucky

My list:
1. Ghostface
2. Micheal
3. Jason
4. Freddy
5. Jigsaw(John)
6. Chucky
7. Art
8. Babyface
9. Esther
10. Candyman
11.M3gan
13.Pennywise
14.Hannibal
15.Samara

I’m gonna do a six slasher
1: Michael Myers
2: Chucky
3: Ghostface
4: Freddy Krueger
5: leatherface
6: Jason Voorhees

Mine are:
1. Jason Voorhees
2. Leatherface
3. Michael Myers
4. Freddy Krueger
5. Chucky
6. Pennywise
7. Art the Clown
8. Jigsaw
9. Ghostface
10. Pinhead

Pennywise is my number 1. I also love: Red from Us, Art The Clown, M3gan, Pearl, Jason, Ghostface.

Man, he didn't include Leatherface from TCM, easily a twisted and disgusting slasher killee

Pennywise over Art 😂

Art the clown ! He makes everyone else look like chumps

Where the FUCK is Leatherface

As a guy who grew up on the Halloween movies and was introduced to horror by these movies and Michael, he's my favorite slasher and honestly my favorite movie villain across the board just because of how awesome he is and how near and dear he is to me in terms of nostalgia and igniting my love of horror, so definitely appreciated seeing him take your #1 spot! Great list in general, all these guys are top tier horror villains. I think Jason would be my #2 because I started watching Friday the 13th soon after the Halloween movies, then probably Freddy at my #3. Not sure who else I'd stick in my top 10 so I'll have to get back to you on that, but Art and Hannibal Lecter would definitely make the list too.

Jesus Christ loves you

For me:

01.) Jason Voorhees
02.) Freddy Kruger
03.) Michael Myers
04.) Jigsaw
05.) Norman Bates
06.) Ghostface
07.) Candyman
08.) Leatherface
09.) Chucky
10.) Art the Clown

You have a point. Unlike most of the others, Michael himself has never become silly, even when the movies they placed him in became jokes. The slashers that came after him exist because of him. You have to respect the one who first popularized an entire subgenre.

This kinda list is what’s cool about horror movie icons, no one’s opinion is same. You can tell by your list your not a fan of extra gory stuff like Art, you prefer more basic boring killers like Michael/Hannibal and Jason

1. Mick Taylor
2. Art the Clown
3. Michael Myers
4. Chucky
5. Freddy Krueger
6. Leatherface
7. Jason Voorhees
8. Hannibal Lecter
9. Billy (Black Christmas)
10. The Collector

I never thought of Hannibal Lecter as a Movie Horror Killer but now he is first on my list

1. Michael Myers
2. Art the Clown
3. Pinhead
4. Jigsaw
5. Ghostface
6. Jason Vorheese
7. Leatherface
8. Chucky
9. Victor Crowley
10. Freddy Kruger

10. Pinhead
9. Jigsaw
8. Pennywise
7. Hannibal
6. Ghostface
5. Chucky
4. Leatherface
3. Freddy Kruger
2. Jason Voorhees
1. Michael Myers

Honorable mentions-

CandyMan, The Miner from My Bloody Valentine, The Tall Man, Norman Bates, T-800 from T1 (one of my favourite movies)

Overall solid list and happy with MM at 1, however I feel Freddy is too low, he’s apart of the big 3 fasho. I’d also like to have seen Candyman make the list or at least an honorable mention as well as the creeper from Jeepers Creepers at least

10. Leatherface
9. Candyman
8. Pennywise
7. Hannibal Lector
6. Pinhead
5. Leprechaun
4. Micheal Myers
3. Jason Voorhees
2. Freddy Krueger
1. Chucky the killer doll
4.

My favorite horror icon will always be the Classic Universal Monsters.

Terminator isn’t a slasher horror 🤦‍♂️

#1 Jason Friday the 13th part 2 & 3

#2 Michael Myers Halloween 2 “81” version

#3 Halloween (Rob Zombie version)

#4 Leatherface (2003 Version)

Everyone else is up in the air

Love the list! 👏 You covered some iconic slashers like Chucky, Terrifier, and Scream. I’m also a huge horror fan and just put together my own list of the best horror movies from the 1900s to 2024. Mine dives into a mix of supernatural, psychological, and even some slashers. Would love to hear what you and your audience think of my picks, and if any of your favorites made the cut! Let’s keep the horror love going. 🔥👻

Sean im glad you put the T-80/ on here. The older i get the more i see that first movie as a horror movie. Even T2 references what the first T-800 did which is also terrifying in T2

Everyone forgets about the original leather face!

Sean you can also do a top 10 favourite horror films of all time list next.

Could you rank the Shaft movies?Or at least the first 3

Lost me with Chucky at 10 and Art at 9

Ghost face at 8 is just awful
