We came slashing through with the Four
Horsemen of Death. We’ve dedicated sizable slivers to the maniacal
Firefly Family, Charles Lee Ray and Hoghead 😱. But there are other,
lesser known horror movie characters who are just as evil and delightfully wicked as their
iconic counterparts. In this long ass 26-minute video, I introduce
five horror movie legends who deserve a blood-soaked pedestal of
their own. Good luck!!!

Freddy’s Gay!?
I’m not shy in expressing my love for
Freddy Krueger. I love everything about him. The character. The
concept. The movies, in spite of their extra thick cheesiness, are
all great IMO. I even wrote a screenplay prequel of Freddy’s origins
with the aid of my homeboy Jimmy. The most epic story you never

memorable antagonists. That’s why it’s so amazing that a mere four
characters manage to stick out as avatars for the entire genre.
Yep. If there were ever a Mt. Rushmore of Horror, these four legends
would be front and center.
Pinhead
He is: Head Cenobite In ChargeWhat he does: Torture suckas who open
the box with his sinister brand of pleasure and pain … mostly pain.Favorite quote: “Your flesh is
killing your spirit.”Why he rules: A philosophical master of word play and
a freak who’ll “tear you apart” between the sheets, Pinhead is
easily the poster boy of the Hellraiser franchise … even though he
isn’t necessarily its primary antagonist. Dude is only limited by his hellish imagination, so kill for kill, I’d take him
in a one-on-one against any horror movie heavyweight.Michael Myers He is: The Shape
