Gah! There's too many horror anti-heroes/villains/icons as it is - once upon a time there was only Fred, Jason & Mike - which was fine - but now the franchise bandwagon has made false idols out of all sorts of wet pansies doing their "boo! hiss!" pantomime acts to get the high school kids to put their hands in their pockets for the next instalment.
For heroes, you're better off reading comics - and watching less predictable horror while yer at it.
The best horror-hero of late was Death itself, from the Final Destination films.
