they may haunt your nightmares but man
their wardrobes are kick-ass welcome to
watchmojo.com ik horror movie villain
costumes for this list we're looking at
the most popular culturally significant
and often imitated costumes worn by
horror movie villains and just to be
clear we're looking at their entire
ensemble and not just their masks leave
a separate list for that number 10 the
tethered us it can take years for a
horror flicks iconography to carve out a
place for itself in cinema history but
there's just something about 2019 us and
its doppelganger bodies that instantly
stuck in our minds
[Music]
it was sure the idea of your clone
hunting you down is pretty freaky but
the simplistic red jumpsuits and eerie
gold scissors make the so called
tethered strangely compelling and then
there's this kids white mask which is
just all kinds of creepy overall it's an
uncomplicated costume and one that could
easily be dismissed as harmless from a
distance and that's why we love it and
fear it number nine samara morgan the
ring franchise speaking of horror movie
iconography it used to be that wearing a
white nightgown automatically made you
look like reagan from The Exorcist
but 2002's the ring changed that with
samara morgan if you watch our videotape
this little girl who drowned in a well
will hunt you down in her sodden
nightgown and long draping hair and
disfigure you nice
usually seen on a distorted flickering
TV screen her outfit kind of makes her
blend into the Bleak background and this
muted look as if she's forever lingering
in the shadows is what makes her so
unnerving
number eight Jason Voorhees Friday the
13th part three it may have taken Jason
three movies to acquire his timeless
look but it was worth the wait when we
think of slasher movies Jason is pretty
much as iconic as it gets
[Music]
although equally popular for the
creative ways in which he disposes of
teenage campers Jason's torn up jacket
long machete and towering Stan's are
what really make him so memorable oh
[Applause]
[Music]
yeah and of course there's his hockey
mask
in fact the mask alone is enough to make
you avoid going anywhere near a lake or
getting busy in the woods
[Music]
number seven pinhead Hellraiser okay so
Hellraiser might not rank quite as
highly as some of the other franchises
on our list today but with the Sena
bytes it's got some of the most
spine-chilling villains of all time and
the leader of this soul-destroying bunch
is the infamous pinhead
we don't know what's more iconic his
black leather robe like clothes white
face and pinhead or his booming
nightmare-inducing voice in the regions
experience either way pinhead has become
a staple of supernatural horror
reminding us that taking weird to a
demonic level is sometimes the quickest
way to stand out from the crowd pinhead
may not be the most terrifying monster
thingy in the movie but he certainly got
the most swagger
[Music]
number six Billy the puppet the Saw
franchise I want to play a game up until
now you have spent your life among the
dead piecing together their final
moments you're good at this because you
like them are also dead dead on the
other side this horror movie villain
might be working with limited screen
time but it quickly became the poster
puppet of the Saw franchise and
nonetheless jigsaw is an elusive villain
so he needed a totem to taunt his
victims enter Billy heed my warning
agent Perez your next move is critical
Billy is a small white-faced and
red-cheeked puppet who sports a red
bowtie and is usually seen entering
frame on a squeaky tricycle
combine that with his gremlin like
laughs and penchant for delivering
horrible fates in the form of audio
tapes and you've almost got the most
terrifying horror movie doll of all time
we say almost because well number 5
Chucky child's play he wants you for a
best friend yeah sure
Chuckie from child's play is scary
enough to make us distrust pretty much
any doll once a human serial killer
Chucky transfers his consciousness into
a good guys doll in order to continue
indulging his evil desires I said talk
to me and it's the juxtaposition between
a cute and cuddly dungaree wearing doll
and a foul-mouthed knife wielding killer
that makes Chucky so brilliant he's
terrifying in a unique way
his appearance lulling you into a false
sense of security what proof that his
costume is iconic and not just his
killer persona fully grown adults still
roam around in dungarees at Halloween
and scare the hell out of people and if
not for Chucky well that'd just seems
silly not scary number 4 Michael Myers
Halloween wish I had
just that this costume may seem pretty
basic but let's not forget it also made
every blue jumpsuit wearing mechanic in
the world appear to be a potential
serial killer Michael Myers almost
monochrome appearance is what makes us
look iconic and what makes people run to
their garage for last-minute costume
ideas every year coupled with that
emotionless Captain Kirk mask that
normal ordinary getup becomes anything
but even when he never surpasses walking
speed and who can forget his signature
weapon the kitchen knife Myers
single-handedly made us fear them damn
you Michael
number three Beetlejuice beetlejuice I
say we open it
maybe we should knock first
from horrifying one moment to hilarious
the next here a Michael Keaton flexes
his funny bone in one of the most
memorable roles of his career what are
your qualifications ah well I attended
truly are I'm graduate the Harvard
Business School I travel quite
extensively I lived through the Black
Plague and I had a pretty good time
during that I've seen yet sir cyst about
167 times and I get funnier every single
time I said the character of Beetlejuice
has several different looks throughout
the movie but his pinstripe black and
white suit is by far the most imitated
and loved add to that his frizzy green
hair rotting skin and blackened eyes and
you've got the pinnacle of offbeat fancy
dress pop-culture beetlejuice
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice It's Showtime
whether you're walking over a zebra
crossing or eating black-and-white candy
you can't help but think of Beetlejuice
in all his grotesque glory just don't
say his name three times number two
Pennywise the clown the it franchise it
may be able to shape-shift into anything
from a werewolf to a giant spider but
it's freakiest form by far is Pennywise
the clown
aren't you gonna say hello made popular
by Tim Curry in the 1990 miniseries and
reimagined by Bill skarsgård in 2017 it
and 2019 in Chapter two Pennywise is the
ultimate nightmare fuel sure clouds are
creepy in general can add fear inducing
hallucinations and some razor-sharp
teeth to the arsenal' and you've got the
mother of all petrifying balloon
wielding funnyman
the character has become so iconic that
a clown costume nowadays being
multicolored like curries or drab like
scars guards is often referred to as a
penny wise outfit regardless of its
origin and who knows if you wear one
maybe you'll float too
[Applause]
honestly any one of these villain
outfits would be a great Halloween
costume but only one has been haunting
our dreams since 1984 so let's look at
some honorable mentions and then we'll
award the winner of best horror movie
villain costume oh you want to play
psycho killer can I be the helpless
victim okay let's see
No please don't kill me mr. ghost face I
want to be in the sequel cut Casper
