the only ones that actually scare me are the ones that could actually exist in real life, like buffalo bill and billy from black christmas. if they have a creepy voice that really tops it off for me. the phantom of the opera also terrifies me.

James Cagney in White Heat - "Top of the World Ma!"
What was scary about that? Iconic, yes...but not scary.

Oh, and he never actually says that...its a common misquote...it's actually -

'Made it Ma...top of the world!'

Werner Herzog as 'The Zec' in 'Jack Reacher’.

There is something very sinister about Werner Herzog and he'd probably take that as a compliment.

The Wicked Witch of the West - frightened the hell out of me as a kid!

Freddie Kruger - watching it when it was newly released it was truly scary, we hadn't had anything quite like him before.

Norman Bates

Mrs Danvers in Rebecca - I found her quite sinister

ETA: Kathleen Byron as Sister Ruth in Black Narcissus used to give me the willies

I'm on board with loads of previous mentions - Heath Ledger's Joker, Tommy De Vito, Anne Wilkes, Begbie and the fantastically re-imagined Shere Khan, but the villians I really wouldn't want on my case are the original Terminator and his T-1000 friend. If I had a private army, I could stop all the other villians... but not those guys.....

Am I really the only one who thinks Judge Doom from Roger Rabbit is scary?

Henry Hill said a few times that Tommy "Two Guns" DeSimone on who Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas was based, was far, far worse in real life than his screen portrayal.

Yes chillingly different because its non fiction, a terrifying statement of what war can do to humankind.

Good choice, and a strangely unsettling film directed by the ultimate luvvie darling Richard Attenborough.

Attenborough made for a fine villain himself. A memorable turn in Brighton Rock as callous punk Pinkie Brown - basically a flick-knife in human form. And fabulously sinister as the infamous killer Christie in 10 Rillington Place, a film (great btw) so seedy in tone it makes you want to have a bath afterwards.
