8. Norman Bates
The depth of distortion of the character's mind is of the kind that makes your blood freeze. Hitchcock is God.

12. Why are the small stones on the outside and the large ones
on the interior? This place place was not designed to keep something out! What's in this place?

13. Hannibal Lector, because there really are people like that out there.
jason, Freddy, Michael Myers-they aren't realistic because they're not living.

15. Probably not
Lecter is portrayed in the books and films as a kind of renaissance superman. He's frighteningly brilliant, speaks multiple languages fluently, is the world's greatest forensic psychiatrist, is an expert on food, wine, the works of Dante Alighieri and classical music, is strong as an ox and is impossibly poished and cultured, as well as being an expert in disguise and hiding his tracks. That's a pretty tall order.

Lecter is based in reality, but not really of it.

17. Freddy all the way
but pretending that 4,5 & 6 didn't happen. (I'd add 2 into that, but the bizarre plot about Freddy forcing a kid to come to terms with his homosexuality adds an entirely new - and weird - dimension to Freddy's character)

However, I must say that Dennis Hopper's "Frank Booth" in Blue Velvet scares the bejesus out of me. 'In Dreams' will never be the same again.

19. Not Hannibal Lecter but Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs
He was a messed up individual.

21. Buffalo Bill and The Tooth Fairy
from Red Dragon are very accurate takes on serial killers. Both were so believable that it was genuinely unsettling.
