Top 10 Best Psychos of All Time
10.) Carrie
Poor Carrie, she is bullied at school and then goes home to an abusive mother, but Carrie has a secret. She has a special telekinesis power that allows her to move objects with her mind. At Carrie's school prom she was voted Prom Queen as a joke, and as she was receiving her crown the school bullies poured pigs blood on her. This caused her telekinesis powers to go out of control. Carrie killed most of the people at the prom, and set the school gym of fire. All in all, Carrie is on this list because telekinesis is cool.
9.) The Jigsaw Killer
Jigsaw is one of the most creative killers in horror history. Jigsaw finds ways to get his victims to kill themselves instead of killing them himself. He makes them face their sins, and make them feel "grateful to live".
8.) Annie Wilkes from Misery
Annie Wilkes isn't crazy she's just Paul Sheldon's "number one fan"...right? Wrong. She is absolutely bonkers. She held her favorite author, Paul Sheldon, captive so he would write a book for her. He tries to escape several times but fails. She finally decides to brake his ankles so he can't try to escape anymore. Wow.
7.) Freddy Krueger
Freddy Krueger is not only horrifying, but hard to escape. He tries to kill you in your dreams, but if he kills you in your dreams you die in real life. That is what makes Freddy so scary, if you sleep you die. Which is the case for most of the teens on Elm Street.
6.) Ghostface
What makes Ghostface so scary is that you never know who he (or she) is. Ghostface is always a different person trying to kill Sidney Prescott for a different reason. He can never be stopped because he is always a different person. It gets confusing.
5.) Leatherface
Leatherface got his name because he skins his victims, then wears their skins as a mask. He does this because he doesn't want anyone to see his ugly, disfigured face. After he skins his victims he brings their bodies home to his family, so they can eat them. Yum.
4.) Michael Myers
Michael Myers is an escaped mental patient who steals a mask, and kills babysitters on Halloween night. When Michael was just six years old he killed his older sister, Judith. He was sent away to a mental hospital for 20 years, until he escaped. Now Michael is back to kill his younger sister, Laurie Strode.
3.) Norman Bates from Psycho
"We all go a little mad sometimes". That's right Norman, but some go a little mad than others. Norman Bates dresses up as his mother, and murders his motel guests. Norman's best friend was his mother until she died. To keep her spirit alive Norman dresses and acts like her.
2.) Jack Torrance from The Shining
"I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just going to bash your brains in." These are the words of one, Jack Torrance who gets a severe case of cabin fever, and tries to kill his family. Jack and his family are winter caretakers for The Overlook Hotel. When Jack and his family are snowed in he is "visited" by old hotel guests who convince him to kill his family. Jack Torrance is one of the most iconic horror villains especially for his most famous line "HERRRRE'S JOHNNY!"
1.) Hannibal Lecter
Coming in at number one on this list is the one and only, Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. Hannibal is known as the classiest serial killer of all time. Doctor Lecter likes to eat his victims with "some fava beans and a nice chianti." Hannibal Lecter is the best psycho of all time because he is not only terrifying, but he is sophisticated and clever.

5 Best Stephen King Movies
5.) Children of the Corn
Children of the Corn is a classic Stephen King film. This was originally a short story by Stephen King that was first published in Penthouse. Burt and Vicky, a bickering couple, decide to go on a road trip to California. As they are driving through Nebraska they accidentally run over a young boy who ran into the middle of the road. They discover his throat had been slit, and he was bleeding to death before they hit him. They put his body in the trunk so they can take him to the local police. They drive until they reach the small town of Gatlin. The town is completely empty, and everything is out-of-date such as calender dates and gas prices. There is something strange about this town, and Burt and Vicky soon realize the danger they are in. Children of the Corn was one of the first horror movies I ever saw. I saw this for the first time when I was eight or nine, and I have loved it ever since.
4.) Misery
Misery is a 1990 thriller based off Stephen King's 1987 novel. A best-selling author, Paul Sheldon, is on his way home from Colorado when he crashes his car in a blizzard. Paul is critically injured, but us rescued by nurse, Annie Wilkes. Annie is Paul's "number one fan" who takes him back to her remote home in the mountains. Unfortunately for Paul, Annie is a nutcase. When she discovers that Paul has killed off the main character her favorite books her reaction leaves Paul shattered (literally).
3.) Pet Sematary
Pet Sematary is a 1989 horror film, and a 1983 novel. The Creed family moves into a house next to a road used mainly by semi-trucks that drive way faster than the speed limit. Pets often get killed by the trucks so the kids of the neighbor hood made a Pet Sematary, but this isn't just a normal cemetery. This cemetery has special powers. When you bury something in the cemetery it comes back to life, but it doesn't act the same. It comes back completely different. It comes back evil and ready it kill.
2.) Carrie
Carrie is Stephen King's first novel to be adapted into film. It came out in 1976, and made $38.3 million at the box office. Carrie is about an abused teenage girl who discovers she has telekinesis. On the night of her prom she is voted prom queen as a joke. While she is receiving her crown she gets pigs blood poured on her. That sends her over the edge and her telekinesis gets out of control, and deadly.
1.) The Shining
The Shining is one of Stephen King's most famous movies. It came out in 1980 and made $44,017,374 at the box office. The Shining is about a family who become the winter caretakers of an isolated hotel. The son, Danny, sees disturbing visions of the hotels past using a power called "The Shining". The father, Jack Torrance, is slowly slipping into insanity as a result of cabin fever and former guests of the hotel "visiting" him. The Shining, in my opinion, is one of the greatest horror movies ever made. I highly recommend it to every horror fan.
