Scar has style and plants the seeds of doubt. He also has plausible deniability. After all he didn't kill Mufasa a stampeding herd of wildebeests did. Unfortunate accident indeed. But still we are talking about the baddest Disney villain. Animal kingdom baddy sure right up there with Shere Khan. Versus all the other villains not so much. Even the source inspiration Claudius from Hamlet kills his brother to become king. But does he rot the flesh from living people and turn them into his own undead army? <br><br>The Judge from Hunchback is evil. But then again the source inspiration has Quasimodo crawling into Esmeralda's crypt to cuddle with her skeleton because she ended up with that tool captain of the guard (a mixed character from two in the book Captain Phoebus and Husband Gringore), she was then hanged by the judge (who Quasi kills in retribution by tossing him from a tower) and ole hunchy had to wait until she was dead to be with her. He stays until he starves to death. Wow Victor Hugo some happy ending. In fact Hugo also wrote Les Miserables, I don't think that dude could write a happy ending if his life depended on it. Well out of the works I've read anyways. Even still we are comparing evil acts by characters to evil beings, evil incarnate. <br> | NLogan | Jan 09, 2017 |  |
| 32919 | Baddest Disney Villain | Love the reactions you guys display in your choices.<div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;">When it comes to Disney villains I'm a lot like my father <b>NLogan</b>, I'm a fan of the "less is more" school of evildoers, lol.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnrVz88UEAAGvvN.jpg"><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br><div>My dad loved bad guys <i>with style</i>. The kind of villain that can "talk you to death". Personally, I admire bad guys that make it all seem effortless. Scar is like that, he makes evil seem spontaneous when in fact he carefully thought out every move. Scar knows the power of words and can plant the seeds of doubt in a victim's mind, then kick back and watch his deed grow results!</div><div><br></div><div>Some villains are too obvious - they will push you off the highest balcony.</div><div><br></div><div>I like the guys that use the strategically place banana peel near an open window:</div><div><br></div><div><i>"Oh my - what an unfortunate accident!"</i> <img src="http://www.retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavLaughOutLoud.gif" style="font-size: 10pt;"></div></div> | eddstarr | Jan 09, 2017 | |

Betty Davis gives me nightmares. Any doubts on that score just watch her in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. I promise you will never hear the Kim Carnes song Betty Davis Eyes in the same light again when thinking of the lyrics: She'll take you home, it whets her appetite. Or she'll take a tumble on you. Roll you like you were dice until you come out blue. She starves her wheelchair bound sister, serves her own pet parakeet as food, imitates her voice on the phone telling the people she called for help not to come and locks her sister away before beating the servant to death with a hammer.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1483930905BettyDavis.gif" style="width: 413px; height: 310px;"><br><br>I watched Watcher in the Woods as a very young and impressionable child at daycare/summer camp where it was shown because it was a disney film. I don't think anyone was prepared for the straight out creep factor of the old woman watching and knowing how the girl disappeared. She did not die as was believed. Her fate was worse.<br><br>As villainous as Scar is (and he seems very dark with a great voice performance by Jeremy Irons) to me he is just doing natural lion behavior. All male lions when they come of age attempt to take over a pride of their own and kill or drive off the competition (including their offspring). What makes Scar great is that he is not the strongest so he has to wait and bide his time to take over with cunning. He is past his prime however his intellect and Machiavellian scheming still make him a threat. However to me he is not evil per say, jealous yes, spiteful yes, mean yes, evil no not really. Natural animal behavior (aside from cross species teaming up for a power play). Thinking about Mufasa killing the previous protector of the pride and possibly devouring the cubs of his predecessor gives a whole new meaning to the circle of life. <br><br>Now comparing say the Headless Horseman well his laugh says it all, evil to the core who would not hesitate an instant before severing your head. Or the Evil Queen (who has evil in her name) delights in misery and is crazy enough to take pleasure in teasing a long dead prisoner who died of thirst with water at arms reach. "Thirsty? Have a drink!" She cackles as she kicks the pitcher long since empty at the withered skeleton of the long dead caged prisoner. <br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1483927971evilwitch.jpg"><br><br>Malevolent ghosts and evil witches aside they pale in comparison to the Horned King a lich necromancer whose goal is to kill everything living with an army of the undead.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1483928446hornedking2.jpg" height="164" width="388"><br><br>But even he pales to Chernabog who is evil personified. He is a dark god who rules the night and commands legions of the dead, demons of the underworld, and terrifying creatures during the dead of night. He is only banished by the light of day.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1483928187chernabog2.jpg" height="217" width="386"><br> | NLogan | Jan 09, 2017 | |

| 32912 | Most Unsettling Sounds of '70s/'80s Cinema | When a victim in a Friday the 13th movie is walking in the woods and a twig snaps, that gives me an uneasy feeling, because Jason Voorhees is close. | Mr Magic | Jan 09, 2017 | |
