Underrated Killers

Peruse this list at the link below, a compilation of the “Top Ten Underrated Horror Villains!” It isn’t necessary for you to do so, since I’m also listing them here, in the order in which they are presented—Jerry “The Stepfather” Blake; Chromeskull; Stitches the Clown; Lola Stone; Dr. Giggles; the Maniac Cop; Leslie Vernon; Victor Crowley; Dr. Phibes; and Cropsey—but you’ll get more detail there, as I am only providing color commentary, and pictures. I dig how the list is made up of villains from both older and recent films, but they got ‘em out of order!

For starters, Dr. Giggles isn’t really THAT undererated, and neither is Victor Crowley. You could argue that Crowley isn’t underrated at ALL. And putting Cropsey in the number one spot? I’m not saying he doesn’t belong on the list, but not in the top spot. I’m good with Dr. Phibes at number two—I consider this role one of Vincent Price’s best and scariest—but only because Leslie Vernon belongs at number one. If any of you haven’t seen BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON, you are really missing out. A finer Horror parody has never been made.
