Tobin Bell​

Tobin Bell played the psychopathic killer Jigsaw in the 'Saw' series. It's one of those characters that stays with an actor long after the cameras stop rolling...

Brad Dourif​

Brad Dourif was the voice of the killer doll Chucky, but the horror doesn't stop there.

Brad Dourif​

In 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' (2002), he plays one of the slimiest, creepiest characters of all time, aptly named Wormtongue.

Helena Bonham Carter​

It's no surprise that Helena Bonham Carter was the partner and muse of gothic filmmaker Tim Burton. From 'Sweeney Todd' (2007) to the 'Harry Potter' series, she always sets the right mood.

Eva Green​

Eva Green was the perfect choice for the lead role in 'Penny Dreadful,' a TV show based around the tales told in macabre horror magazines in the 19th century. Her large eyes and dark brows give her an ominous allure.

Terence Stamp​

Terence Stamp managed to turn Superman's General Zod into a sadistic supervillain. He was declared the “master of the brooding silence” by The Guardian.

Joaquin Phoenix​

Joaquin Phoenix is an incredibly versatile actor. He's brought a wide range of disturbing characters to life throughout his career. Most recently he gave us nightmares with his performance in 'Joker' (2019).

Joaquin Phoenix​

Almost two decades earlier he made our skin crawl as the creepy Emperor Commodus in 'Gladiator' (2000).

Steve Buscemi​

Steve Buscemi's creep factor is partly thanks to the Coen Brothers, who repeatedly cast him as wild-eyed oddballs in their movies.

Steve Buscemi​

He also played a ruthless criminal in the violent Tarantino classic 'Reservoir Dogs' (1992).

Billy Bob Thornton​

There's just something creepy about Billy Bob Thornton. Perhaps it's the goatee that makes him look like a cartoon devil, or the alleged vials of blood he and Angelina Jolie wore while they were married. Whatever it is, he's a great addition to a psychological thriller.

Crispin Glover​

Crispin Glover is another actor who straddles the line between handsome and ghoulish. His role as the hair-sniffing Thin Man in 'Charlie's Angels' (2000) suited him a little too well.

David Thewlis​

David Thewlis wasn't traditionally cast as an evil character, but if you saw him play the sociopathic antagonist with rotting teeth in the third season of 'Fargo,' well, you'll never forget it!
