The top five scariest horror movie characters
Updated | By Minenhle Khoza
We
count down some of our favourite (and scariest) horror movie characters.

Halloween’s around the corner and Barney figured what better time is there to countdown some of the scariest horror movie characters we’ve ever seen. Now, if you’re a little sensitive and get scared easily, you might want to stop reading right about now.
5. Jason
What’s scarier than a guy who wears a hockey mask, wields around a machete, and cannot die? Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th is definitely one of the most memorable horror movie character.
4. Freddy Krueger
Scarred face, creepy hat, and he comes to attack you in your dreams. Oh, and he’s Jason’s mortal enemy. Need we say more?
3. Hannibal Lector
He’s a cannibal. That alone is enough to earn him a spot on our top five.
2. Ghostface
The star of four “Scream” movies. Ghostface is characterized by his signature Halloween mask and propensity to taunt his victims. His appearances in the Scary Movie franchise might have taken away some of his scary factor, but he’s still pretty kickass.
1. Your mother-in-law
There were many candidates for our number one spot, but the mother-in-law was head and shoulders above everyone else.
