71. John Doe - Se7en

spacey7.jpg


John Doe (real name: supposedly unknown) wanted to remind the world about the Se7en deadly sins it was supposed to be avoiding: gluttony, pride, greed, lust, sloth, envy and wrath. And in David Fincher's dark and dingy world, Doe was able to slip into the shadows after each instance in which he left bloody examples of the weak representatives of mankind for the detectives on the case.

The revolting acts of the deranged Mr. Doe eventually made his plans clear but his means even more mysterious. How would he complete the picture he was painting and would the authorities catch him in time? The fact is that John Doe is one of the few villains here to actually win in the end.
 


73. Mr. Blonde - Reservoir Dogs

Vic Vega (Michael Madsen) had seen time in and out of jail, and by the time he found himself in Joe Cabot's office, he was looking for some real work again. Not the type where you punch a time clock and bust your ass carrying boxes around, mind you, but some real gangsta stuff. Big Joe and his boy, Nice Guy Eddie, were more than happy to help out one of their boys, and thought a certain big jewel heist would be perfect for Vic.

Going by the codename "Mr. Blonde," Vic found himself as part of an anonymous gang assembled by Joe to pull off the heist. The plan seemed simple enough until one of the employees pulled the alarm during the robbery. Vic started shooting and didn't stop until he was out safe. This strategy pissed off some of his colorful compadres, namely Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) and Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), who verbally blasted away at Mr. Blonde as soon as he arrived at the rendezvous point following the heist. Clutching his soda and wearing a pair of dark black sunglasses, Mr. Blonde asked White: "Are you gonna back all day, little doggie, or are you gonna bite?" Just one of Mr. Blonde's most quotable of quotables.

Eventually, Mr. Blonde would find himself alone with the unluckiest character in Reservoir Dogs, a cop he took hostage and stashed in his trunk. Convinced of a rat in the house, White and Pink demanded to know who had tipped off the cops to the heist, and it was Blonde's job to extract the information. Instead, in one of cinema's now-immortal scenes, Mr. Blonde proclaimed that he didn't care what the cop said; he was going to torture him anyway because he found it "amusing." And then he danced around until he was good and ready... and sliced off the cop's right ear.
 

74. The Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves)

Snow White is born to a queen, who dies shortly after giving birth. The king takes a new wife who is beautiful but very proud. She possesses a magic mirror, to whom she would often ask "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?", and to which the mirror would always reply, "You are". But one day when she asks her mirror, it responds, "Queen, you're the fairest where you are, but Snow White is more beautiful by far".
The Queen is jealous, and orders a huntsman to take Snow White into the woods to be killed. She demands that the huntsman return with Snow White's lungs and liver as proof. The huntsman takes Snow White into the forest, but finds himself unable to kill the girl. Instead, he lets her go, and brings the queen the lungs and liver of a wild boar.
Snow White discovers a tiny cottage in the forest belonging to seven dwarves, where she rests. Meanwhile the Queen asks her mirror once again "Who's the fairest of them all", and is horrified when the mirror tells her that Snow White, who is alive and well and living with the dwarves, is still the fairest of them all. Disguised as a farmer's wife, the Queen visits the Dwarfs' cottage where Snow White is staying, and gives her a poisoned apple, which Snow White eats eagerly and immediately falls into a deep magical sleep. When the dwarves find her, they mourn and place her in a glass coffin. The dwarves give chase and the evil queen falls from a cliff and dies.
Time passes, and a prince travels through the land and sees Snow White in her coffin. The prince is enchanted by her beauty and instantly falls in love with her. He begs the dwarves to let him have the coffin. The prince and his men carry the coffin away, but as they go they stumble, the coffin jerks and the piece of poison apple flies out of Snow White's mouth, awakening her. The prince then declares his love and soon a wedding is planned.

75. Terminator - The Terminator

The%20Terminator.jpg


The Terminator had a job to do and nothing was about to get in its way. It hunted down Sarah Connor, a seemingly-unimportant waitress. It killed extras at will and took out an entire police station. Ruthless and determined, it came within a pneumatic press of completing its mission.
 


76. Skeletor

Appearance: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

Bio: The most vile being in the universe, Skeletor is He-Man's evil opposite. Once he was an ordinary but wicked alchemist called Keldor until his magic backfired, burnt off his skin and turned him into the horrific skull-faced Skeletor. He rules the dark hemisphere of Eternia with an iron evil fist and lives deep within Snake Mountain.
With his powerful black magic and crazed technology, he is determined to learn the Secret of Grayskull from the orb of power and use the knowledge to conquer and enslave the universe. But first he must defeat the mighty He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Skeletor was a by-the-book evil overlord, from his raspy voice to his megalomania to his incompetent flunkies. While the ram's head staff was a nice Satanic touch, he really didn't add anything to the genre.

77. Pinhead

Appearance: Hellraiser

Bio: Pinhead originated as Captain Elliot Spenser, a British Army veteran who served in World War I, and explorer. His transition into Pinhead, the angel of suffering and leader of the Cenobites, came about through his opening of the demonic Lament Configuration.
Pinhead needs to be purposefully summoned, as the Lament Configuration must be opened for the Cenobites to enter the world. Pinhead kills not indiscriminately, nor for vengeance; he kills because he was conjured from Hell by the opener of the puzzle box.
Pinhead also does not kill quickly; he and the Cenobites are well-versed in torture. Death does not end the suffering of his victims, either, as the victims are brought to hell, where (in Pinhead's words), "We have an eternity to know your flesh."
