Today, in honor of the Friday the 13^th series, we’ve been thinking about those characters that make our skin crawl.

Here’s our top 10 horror movie villains:

1. Jason Voorhees: This chainsaw carrying killer from the Friday the 13^th series learned how to kill from his mother
2. Freddy Krueger: Nightmare inducing villain from the Nightmare on Elm Street series gives reason to stay up all night
3. Michael Myers: The quintessential slasher from the Halloween series is the reason that insane asylums are scary
