The Best Worst Villains


1. Freddy Krueger is a fictional character in the horror film series A Nightmare on Elm Street (in Brazil, A Hora do Pesadelo). Freddy is a child killer in Ohio. After being burned by his parents, he made a deal with supernatural beings and he started to attack teenagers in their nightmares, killing them in the real world.  He has the power to control people's nightmares and kill them during their sleep, so he has the nicknames of "Lord of Nightmares" and "Lord of Dreams".  The only way to defeat Freddy is grab him in the dreams and bring him to the waking world. The series has six films and one with a crossover with Jason Voorhees, from Friday the 13th series.
 

2. Hannibal Lecter is a character in a series of horror novels written by Thomas Harris and in the films adapted from the novels. Hannibal was introduced to the world in 1981, in the thriller novel Red Dragon as a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. The novel and its sequel, The Silence of the Lambs (1988), have other killers also as villains in the stories. In the third novel, Hannibal (1999), Lecter becomes the main character. His role as protagonist and anti-hero occurs in the fourth novel, Hannibal Rising (2006), which explores his childhood and development into a serial killer.

     
3. Joker is a psychotic with the appearance similar to a clown (green hair, white skin and red mouth, always smiling), who always challenges Batman, causing major damages in his life, for example, murdering his parents, according to some versions. His trademark and most dangerous weapon is the laughing gas, better known as "Joker Venom", which forces the victim to laugh hysterically and uncontrollably and ultimately provokes a fatal collapse.


4. Lord Voldemort is the archenemy of Harry Potter, who according to a prophecy has "the power to destroy the Dark Lord". Almost no witch or wizard dares to speak his name; instead referring to him as "You-Know-Who", "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" or "the Dark Lord". Voldemort divided his soul into seven parts, the Horcruxes, and the only way to kill him is by destroying them.

5. Sheldon James Plankton, or just Plankton is a character from SpongeBob SquarePants. Plankton is a small plankton and he is rather aggressive and has two antennae and one eye. He has a computer wife named Karen, who is actually a "W.I.F.E." (Wired Integrated Female Electroencephalograph). Karen apparently has a mind of her own, to the point of making fun of her husband. Plankton has spent a long period of time trying to destroy the Krusty Krab, a franchise owned and operated by Mr. Krabs. Plankton has a large family, containing more than 10,000 members of different forms of plankton, most of them are hillbillies, simple people from the countryside.
