Fear Expert ReRanks The Most Terrifying Villains In Horror History!

When you see a human that doesn't have any facial expression and they're expressing aggression

towards you and you're looking at a psychopath. And that is terrifying for people

So you're kind of a specialist, you would say, when it comes to fear. Yes

I work a lot with people with fears and phobias. Fear is something that we construct in this reality and put so much energy into that's

counterproductive to our lives. So what we're going to do today is we're going to show you a few rankings. Okay

And these rankings are all around fear and they were ranked by the public. And we're going to see if you think the public nailed these lists or if they need a bit of

a re-rank. Now, these are the top five most terrifying villains in film history

Oh, okay. Um, having a guy come up to you with a mask on where you can't see their face and they're

being a little aggressive, I could see where that would cause quite a bit of anxiety

I don't know. I don't know if the train ever stopped that fast, would you really go back that far

I don't know. There's a part of me that wants to laugh a little bit as I'm watching that

Now laughter actually is a fear response that people have. When somebody is upset and they're afraid of something going to happen, they will start laughing

All right, let's go to number four, most terrifying villain. Now clowns

There are a lot of people that have some phobias with clowns. They kind of look like dolls

They have this fake smile. And that's going to make you feel some anxiety

Because if they're smiling, but you don't have little wrinkles around your eyes

you know it's fake. And that's ominous. And he speaks. The other guy wasn't speaking

This one's speaking, and he's speaking in a monotone. And it's kind of a raspy voice

How you identify a person is through their eyebrows. If you shave off your eyebrows, and you show this part up

People have a very hard time identifying who you are. It a little scarier It looks a little more psychopathic OK here is the third most terrifying villain Shit Okay he got that maniacal laugh

His arms are really out of... This guy looks scary. He looks like he could reach out and grab you

And it looks like he's enjoying creating the fear. So this would be more frightening

This is God. There's a distortion of his actual physical body. He's got that raspy voice, which is very maniacal

The idea that somebody can penetrate into your unconscious mind and then dictate to you how

you're going to experience reality, that's very frightening. This is the second most terrifying villain

What's really scary about that, it looks like he hit her. He cut her sleeve. So this guy has actually penetrated through to her personal space

That's very frightening. When you see a human that doesn't have any facial expression and they're expressing aggression

towards you, you're looking at somebody that has ice running through their veins and you're

looking at a psychopath. And that is terrifying for people. So this is now what is voted on as the most terrifying villain in film history

What do you think it is? Well he's got a weapon with him and it's a chainsaw

And chainsaws can be quite anxiety causing for most people that don't work with a chainsaw

Oh, there we go. He's getting hit by a truck. There's a good truck when you need one

This one kind of feels like it was gratuitous violence that was kind of mindless and why

But I think the number two should be in the number one spot. I would put this in the number two spot

So that was Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What some people find scary about him

is that his face is actually made from other people's skin. All right

That puts a spin on it. Looking at it right now, or is there anyone that you're like 100

this guy is number one? Michael Myers. He was very cold he was focused he was intent So why don we go to five Let put out who you think is the least scarier on this list Jason Borges Let just get him out of the way You didn see his face It was a ridiculous setup

Some people might say that Michael Myers and Jason Borges are kind of similar when it comes to, like, villains

And you've placed them on opposite ends of the spectrum. Why do you think that is? If you're into hockey, you see hockey masks a lot

And you don't have anything else associated with a hockey mask, but a hockey puck. But with Michael Myers, that mask

You have no other association with it, but somebody that's coming at you to hurt you

I would put Freddy Krueger at number two. Freddy, again, you can close your eyes, but you can't get away from him

I would put Leatherface at three. He looked like he was out of breath

I'm not sure he could really catch you. Yeah. I mean, he can ding your door for sure, but I don't think he could catch you

And they weren't smart enough to get out of the way of a truck. I would keep Pennywise at four

Honestly, a clown stuck in a drain, I'm not sure how scary that is

Where's it going to go? He's not stuck in a drain. He's not always stuck in a drain

I'm personally not scared of clowns, so I don't find it a very frightening motif

Is this list locked? Yes. What we're going to do now is we're going to switch things up

I'm going to show you a list of what the public has ranked as the most disturbing phobias of all time

The fear of being buried alive is number one. The fear of tight space is number two

The Fear of Dolls, number three. The Fear of Clowns, number four

The Fear of the Dark is number five. How does that list look to you? Number one and number two, absolutely

I think those are right. See, in a tight space, you have the option of surviving

So you've got that going for you. Being buried alive, you don't have that option so much

I think you're looking at impending death from suffocation along with a tight space

I just think that's just number one. What are you doing? I'm burying you

I alive man I alive You waking the neighbors I would put fear of the dark as number three You don know what coming around the corner You might be out in the woods by yourself in the dark

and then you hear a low growl. I don't know. That beats a clown any day. I would put clowns at number four and dolls at five

You probably know more people with fear of clowns than fear of dolls. The people that have the fear of dolls may have a bad association with it for some reason

There's something in their past. I want you to do one more thing for us. I want you to put together a new list that we're going to share on Ranker.com of the top five things that you, as an expert on fear, think everybody should be scared of

There are two natural fears that we're already born with. The number one fear is the fear of falling from a height

That would be the number one fear. Fear of heights, I would put number one. And the number two might actually be surprising

It's the fear of snakes. And that developed when we were living in the Neolithic period, we were living in the jungles

When a snake appeared, we had a natural response to fear because snakes were an enemy in the environment for us that we were living

And what's coming next for you? I think it would be the fear of drinking stagnant water

People like to drink bubbling water. They like to drink water that's flowing. They like to drink water that's cold or water that's hot

our primitive brain, again, to look at that and go, you don't want to drink a stagnant pool of water, it'll make you sick

I would say fear of rejection I would put down as number four. Nobody really wants to be rejected

It goes right to their sense of self-esteem. It goes right to their core. I would put one that I think people were expecting to hear

that is probably very popular out there, and that would be the fear of death

because people don't know what's coming afterwards. People don't know what the next step is

Some people have a fear of annihilation, of going into nothingness. Other people have fears of punishment afterwards

And it's the unknown. People die every day. It's a proper burial
