mom
who's that
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie monsters revealed allow me to show
it to you for this list we'll be looking
at the real-life people behind the masks
of some of our favorite and most iconic
movie monsters and horror villains did
we leave any out let us know in the
comments
number 10 leatherface played by gunner
hanson the texas chainsaw massacre
gunner hanson frequented the nightmares
of many thanks to his iconic portrayal
of leatherface in the original texas
chainsaw massacre
[Music]
anson actually decided to audition for
the film on a whim and never really
considered acting to be his number one
passion the man who played leatherface
actually enjoyed riding and traveling
although he was convinced to return to
the craft starring in the minor trash
classic hollywood chainsaw hookers so
good of you to drop by mr chandler
he saved us the unpleasant task of
having to go get you from there hanson
would continue to appear in movies on
and off including a cameo in texas
chainsaw 3d and even directed a number
of documentary films before his untimely
death from pancreatic cancer in 2015.
give him the boy
he's simple anyway number nine the nun
played by bonnie ahrens the conjuring 2.
part of the fun of researching actors
who've appeared in horror movies is
seeing what other sort of work they've
done and how it compares to their
demonic profile in the freight flicks in
the case of bonnie ahrens it's sort of a
balancing act since the talented actress
appeared in youth-oriented fair like the
princess diaries while also jump-scaring
audiences with their turn as the
nightmarish bum in mulholland drive
however horror fans likely know aaron's
best from her turn as a supremely creepy
nun in the conjuring franchise
although she didn't appear in the first
film her role as valic in the sequel as
well as the spin-off the nun managed to
make her an instant horror celebrity
number 8 the leprechaun played by
warwick davis the leprechaun franchise
what are you
what do i look like milad
see that
the buckles on these shoes
why i'm a leprechaun willow professor
flitwick wicked the ewok and the
leprechaun warrick davis has certainly
done pretty good for himself in the
franchise department you're a jittery
little thing aren't you this in-demand
actor has always prided himself on
delivering memorable and engaging
performances every time but the
leprechaun franchise was where davis
truly gotta chew the scenery and take
center stage those shakespeare deer
provide a perfect accompaniment to this
romantic evening sure it may not be as
high profile as star wars or harry
potter but the franchise went to so many
wild places including space and the hood
that created its own sandbox for the
direct-to-video crowd that said it must
be nice to work in both worlds so nice
in fact that warrick davis makes the
list of the most financially successful
supporting actors of all time it looks
like we go
it smells like we go
it tastes like we go
number seven the pale man played by doug
jones pan's labyrinth
don't just judge doug jones based solely
on his fantastic work with director
guillermo del toro judge him based on
all the additional great work he's done
with countless directors the man's
resume speaks for itself doing character
work in cult classics like tank girl and
hocus pocus lynch
trump
you
bucktooth pop run firefly from hell
i've waited centuries to say that doug
jones is a contortionist and mime by
trade and this plays in the physicality
of his performances big time in addition
to the fawn his portrayal of the pale
man in del toro's pan's labyrinth earned
jones perhaps the most high profile
attention of his career and rightfully
so it's a once-in-a-lifetime sort of
performance never before has a pair of
hands haunted the dreams of so many
unsuspecting viewers
number six pazuzu voice acted by
mercedes mccambridge the exorcist what
an excellent day for an exorcism
you'd like that
intensely
the exorcist was one of those perfect
storms sort of movies a horror film
where sound music visuals and story all
collided to enter the cultural zeitgeist
speaking of sound it was old school
hollywood icon mercedes mccambridge who
provided one of the voices for the demon
pazuzu the evil entity that possesses
young reagan mcneil where's reagan
in here with us
but cambridge's weathered performance is
atmospheric as hell thanks largely to
her method of drinking hard liquor and
chain smoking cigarettes to get the
proper effect the fact that the actor
initially went uncredited for her work
was a point of debate between
mccambridge and director william
friedkin requiring a visit to the screen
actors guild for her to receive proper
credit for what was a defining horror
performance you speak latin
hey gotta absolvo
what norman me yes
number five pinhead played by doug
bradley the hellraiser franchise the box
you opened it
we came who do you think of when we
mention the hellraiser franchise the
odds are pretty good that the name doug
bradley is on the tip of your tongue and
rightfully so because the man turned the
villain pinhead into a household name
not too shabby for a character that was
only referred to as lead cenobite in the
original film oh i enjoy making you
bleed
and i'll enjoy making you enjoy it
this speaks volumes to bradley's
gravitas and presence as an actor the
actor has even lent his booming voice to
the world of heavy metal including
recording with the iconic british black
metal band cradle of filth
[Music]
number four jason voorhees played by
many perfected by kane hodder the friday
the 13th franchise
[Music]
pick adjacent any jason we all have our
favorite whether it's steve dash's
creepy baghead jason and friday the 13th
part 2 or derrick mears's fearsomely
mobile performance in the 2009 reboot
jason voorhees is an undisputed horror
icon for many however it's kane hodder's
performance as voorhees over the course
of four films that cemented perhaps the
most enduring run for the crystal lake
slasher impossible he's dead
i'd say it got better
it's been modified oh you think honor's
work as a stunt performer allowed him to
project more physicality into the role
while at the same time develop
mannerisms such as the head tilt that
help to find the character for fans kane
hotter and horror just seem to go hand
in hand while his incredible body of
work simply speaks for itself
number 3 freddy krueger played by robert
england he a nightmare on elm street
franchise please god this
is god
the world of the character actor is
often one of small parts but big
personalities robert england is one of
those special sort of character actors
whose career may be defined by one
looming performance but deeper research
reveals a varied and intriguing resume
i'm setting myself in my own buddy
fingernails did you know that do you
even care england has worked with
basically everyone cutting his teeth on
exploitation flicks for industry veteran
roger corman and earning high marks for
his work on the tv cult mini series b
i'm just
you don't know where to go i'm just
you're lost
lost
yes
lost
english
not well to me england's impeccable
attention to detail is always on display
whenever he's interviewed such as when
he compares freddie's walk and style to
that of an old west gunslinger with the
iconic knife glove substituting as a
pistol it's just one brief glimpse into
the creative mind of a true craftsperson
what do you know
to beat my high score
number two pennywise played by tim curry
it hi georgie
aren't you going to say
hello as much as we love bill
skarsgard's twisty take on pennywise the
dancing clown there's just no topping
the og performance from tim curry
kiss me fat boy
the it mini series may have been
developed for television but that
doesn't mean curry's pennywise didn't
scar thousands of kids back in the day
of course we don't need to mention how
important curry has been to the world of
fantastic cinema from his roles as dr
franken furter in the rocky horror
picture show to the best damn devil in
the business for director ridley scott's
legend you're nothing but an animal
[Music]
we are all animals my lady
most are too afraid to see it
all it takes is a smile turn or hand
gesture from curry to make us laugh or
fill us with fear and every nightmare
you ever had i am your worst dream come
true
on everything you ever were afraid of

number one frankenstein's monster played
by boris karloff frankenstein who are
you
i'm maria
will you play with me the world of
universal monsters is one full of iconic
monster makeup from lon chaney jr as the
wolf man to rico browning's gill man and
creature from the black lagoon it's
boris karloff who gets her top knot
however thanks to a makeup job that
transcends mere horror and sends
frankenstein's monster straight into
mount rushmore territory
karloff to his credit wasn't defined by
monsters or mummies either utilizing his
voice in the animated christmas classic
how the grinch stole christmas every who
down in whoville liked christmas a lot
but the grinch
who lived just north of whoville
did not
while also appearing in the cult
thriller targets late his career ladies
and gentlemen
boys and girls
i'd like to leave you with a little
story to think about as you drive home
through the darkness playing
frankenstein's monster may have defined
his career but it was boris karloff's
longevity and versatility that made him
a legend do you agree with our picks
