Welcome to entertain me and today we'll be counting down the Top 10 Horror Movie Villains That Take Zero Damage. Choosing the right horror flick to watch can be a daunting task, what with the overabundance of slasher flicks bleeding out from the Hollywood machine over the years. It doesn't help that these types of movies mostly follow a similar formula, where innocent people are targeted by bloodthirsty monsters. In most slasher films, the victims are terrible human beings who deserve everything that happens to them (well, maybe not everything), but we're so frightened of their ghoulish stalkers that we can't see the true monsters. It's with that spirit that we invite you to indulge your sadistic side by rooting for these horror movie villains, who were completely and unquestionably in the right. number ten The Ring Here’s the thing about vengeful spirits: They usually have a really good reason to be vengeful. In the original "Ringu," Sadako was the daughter of a psychic, driven to suicide by accusations of fraud. Her father then murders her by imprisoning her in a well. Samara, in the 2003 American remake, was adopted by a woman that feared her psychic powers. As Samara couldn’t control the images she projected into other people’s brains, her adoptive mother kept her in a barn and eventually threw her down a well. number nine Frankenstein The tale of Frankenstein’s Monster is pure tragedy. He didn’t ask to be created. He certainly didn’t ask to be stitched together from pieces of dead bodies by a madman. Dr. Victor Frankenstein was trying to play God and create a superhuman specimen. Brought into the world with little knowledge of his surroundings and strength he has no idea how to control, the deck was stacked against the "monster" from the beginning. number eight Cabin In The Woods In Drew Goddard’s clever twist on the slasher genre, the zombies aren’t the real villains of the story. That honor goes to two office workers and their mysterious director, who manipulate the hapless teenagers into making all the poor decisions horror movie protagonists are known to make. The movie explores the question of why slasher movies have so much in common. number seven Jaws Stephen Spielberg's classic thriller had 1975 beachgoers afraid to go into the water. Why wouldn't they be? Few things are scarier than a gigantic bloodthirsty shark. Especially because unlike most of the other monsters on this list, sharks actually exist. Are they unrelenting killing machines as "Jaws" would have you believe? No, of course not. But there is a non-zero chance that, under certain circumstances, you could get eaten by a shark. number six Aliens In the first "Alien" film, it's debatable whether or not the Xenomorph was in the right. On the one hand, it didn't ask to be born on a mining ship full of people. On the other, the crew of the Nostromo didn't intend to bring it aboard in the first place. (Whether Weyland-Yutani did is another matter entirely) number five Poltergeist This is yet another case of the humans in a horror movie encroaching on something else's territory. In this case, it's not the fault of the Freeling family. For all they know at first, the ghosts they share a home with are friendly and just like to move objects around. And to their credit, once the ghosts prove malicious, they move out. Why they decide to stay in the house for one more night after that is another question, but it wouldn't be a horror flick without at least one really bad decision. number four Carrie Stephen King has a way of creating monsters that you feel for and nowhere is that more apparent than in the 1976 movie based on his debut novel, "Carrie." Nobody in the entire movie gives Carrie a break. Her mother is a religious fanatic who has kept her daughter so sheltered and uninformed, she doesn't know basic facts about her own body. Every student her age she comes into contact with teases and bullies her relentlessly. number three Let The Right One In Eli has been a little girl for a very long time. She is a vampire, protected and kept alive by Hakan, a man who goes out each night to harvest blood for her. When Hakan dies, she has no one. She must kill and feed herself. She forms a close friendship with Oskar, the boy who lives in the apartment next door. Oskar is bullied by the other kids at school and Eli encourages him to stand up for himself. number two The Creature From The Black Lagoon Much like Frankenstein's Monster, this is a case of a humans reacting poorly to anything different from them. In this case, it's even worse, because the humans in question are scientists, so they should really know better. The Creature, or Gill-Man as the scientists call him, is just trying to live his life when a scientific expedition lands in his habitat. Naturally curious about these new visitors, he comes out to greet them. The scientists, who apparently can't deal with finding the thing they were looking for, attack the creature, forcing him to defend himself. Make sure you subscribe to the channel and let's go to see the list number one Hannibal As a child, Hannibal and his sister were on the run from Nazis in Lithuania when they were captured by a group of deserters. The deserters killed and ate Hannibal's sister, and as Hannibal later learned, forced him to eat her remains as well. Understandably traumatized, Hannibal grows up obsessing over his sister's death. The first person he kills is a racist who insults his step aunt. He goes on to hunt and torture the deserters who killed his sister. That's just "Hannibal Rising." In "Hannibal," his victims include Mason Verger, a serial pedophile, and two corrupt politicians that help keep Verger in power. Even in "The Silence of the Lambs," he doesn't kill anyone until the police have thoroughly given him the run-around. Besides that, his prison guards were incredibly rude to him for no reason. It's safe to say that all those people are better off in Hannibal's stomach than walking around on Earth. thank you for watching For more entertaining top 10s, be sure to subscribe to entertain me.
